While it’s partially true, people who have “gone through it” will often try and keep certain stuff bad because if they had to suffer, so does the next person.
Also good chance they went through it years and years ago. There's been so many changes and improvements, the landscape is very different. I'm one of those people, I haven't leveled an account through the early game since I made my GIM 5 years ago
Or endgame players, looking back, are able to appreciate which parts of early game were rewarding and iconic and which parts were simply painful. I can't really remember any content I "suffered" through, the grind and the gameplay loop is what gives you the satisfaction from accomplishing something.
The point of democracy is that even if someone's reasoning is stupid, thats what their vote is for. Obviously Jagex wants to limit this which is why I cannot vote on UIM polls which makes sense. But theres no way of getting rid of gatekeeping ideals other than beating them in the polls.
So dismiss the voices of those who have been through it because some are too lost in the sauce, but listen to those who haven't gone through it yet and don't have a wider view of the game and it's balance?
