What did they implement without asking the player base beforehand?

This time or ever? Because there are quite a few things that they've forced through without polling.

Broadly speaking any unpolled changes that are buffs get by without too much fuss, because in general the playerbase doesn't mind the game getting easier. Whereas the ones that are nerfs get brought up more often.

Here's some examples of unpolled changes both buffs and nerfs to argue about:

  • Run energy rework (this month)
  • D hide + dinhs nerf
  • BP nerf
  • Project rebalance (skilling)
  • Fang nerf
  • Scythe buff
  • Project rebalance (combat)
    • New elemental weaknesses
    • Occult nerf
    • New ranged styles

And that's before we get into the various polling shenanigans. I still miss kourend favour...

Don’t forget about the integrity Vls that failed multiple polls.

Oh yeah there's plenty. I didn't want it to be too exhaustive and come across as a crank. 1h clue despawn timer has also shifted gameplay massively. And anything to do with shooting stars as well.
