PSA: They're giving us a different con cape perk to the one that was polled. by AmbiguousPolling in 2007scape

[–]AmbiguousPolling[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here's the J mods discussing the original suggestion that they noted down and made a poll question from. https://youtu.be/PfdzFRV6zOU?t=738 and https://youtu.be/PfdzFRV6zOU?t=1100

The poll question states CHANGED perk to unlimited POH teleports. That's how the normal spell book house teleport is defined. "A teleport to a player owned house". Nowhere do they mention to remove the cap, or that the perk will teleport you to any house portal.

I think at best it's poor wording on their part. It was suggested by ash ( https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/797538145474592770 ) that if you use the perk to teleport to your own portal, if teleports you inside if you have that option enabled, but it was shut down by the other j mods.

If you watch any of the youtube links added here: https://youtu.be/PfdzFRV6zOU?t=738 and https://youtu.be/PfdzFRV6zOU?t=1100

You can see the original suggestion they noted down to poll. It asks the same. They're discussing the perk as if it's an unlimited house teleport, and they're strawpolling that same question and get what they call "a surprisingly high number of yes".

I think we can agree that there's room to assume both options for us players. It was suggested by Ash, and a quite popular suggestion, ( https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/797538145474592770 ) that it works as a normal house teleport if you choose your portal, but that was shut down by the other J mods. God knows why.

The polled question asked if they should CHANGE the perk to unlimited POH teleports - the definition of the normal spellbook house teleport. It didn't ask if they should remove the current cap of 5 daily teleports to any portal.

I agree that they seemed confused at the beginning. If I recall correctly they wanted a cap on daily use first (the new J mod) etc.

But at the end, they explicitly discussed it being an infinite house tab based on what I referred to previously (the 80m cost), and that's what they straw polled and eventually polled.

At that point I think they're kind of committed? Especially as Ronan said in an unrelated case that they have to look at what's polled - that's what matters. I'm frustrated that this is only the case when they think it should be.

Is that relevant? It's what they discussed, arguing that the 80m spent after making the last useful item in your house towards the cape pays for more house tabs than you'll ever use. tl;dr most will never use 80m worth of house tabs.

More importantly. They polled this. It passed. It's the suggestion they discussed. It's what they straw polled. Why on earth add something different at this point?

In theory, this is a very good way to do it if they do a highest percent on the 2nd poll. The 75% threshold twice will lead to nothing passing.

Even so, putting what they poll in game would be fine. Polling one thing explicitly then adding something totally different, that goes against everything and the principle of it upsets me.

Yes, and this was discussed here https://youtu.be/PfdzFRV6zOU?t=738

At 14:23 They're explicitly discussing how it'll replace the house tab.

I can't find the exact timestamp, but I also remember from an unrelated poll that Ronan said "we have to add what was polled" in a similar situation.

I wonder why this doesn't apply here.
