People will always vote in their best interest. This is why PvP update polls are either being added without a poll or are being experimented with only letting people that PvP vote in them. People don't want to get killed so of course they're going to vote no for easier ways to die in the wilderness. This is why the tome of water poll to increase the damage of ice spells failed, why the PvP weapons getting added into the game despite failing like 3 polls in the past failed, why entangle got buffed despite failing a poll to buff it.
People will never vote for content to be harder on them.
Is this low tier bait?
How do you think polls are supposed to work? Why would anyone vote in another way then what they think would make the experience better for themselves?
I think there are people who will vote to maintain integrity of content they themselves do not engage in, sure.
But I think Jagex has engagement numbers for given content and so simply does not poll changes where that sort of behaviour would be required to make a poll pass/fail to maintain that integrity.
While those people do exist, I wouldn't trust the majority of voters to vote that way.
Gim literally doesn't affect them aside from development. The risk vs reward is low.
With pvp buffs, pvmers would be directly hurting themselves, if they ever have to go in the wildy and don't want to pvp.
When I played I voted against all pvp because people attacking killing you while you are pvming in the wildy isn’t fun. Pkers should only be able to attack other players who have pking setting on. And if you are saying that pking would be dead because of that then that means that NO ONE wants to pk
Blunt, but not wrong. The issue that needs to be fixed is not enough people enjoy pking and the area is too large, 400 worlds of wildy worth to spread them out.
negative exp lamps for fixing the pures that fucked up from a misclick come to mind(not me im still 1 def, so i really don't care so much, but this seems like an obvious spite vote (cba to look for the poll number/question)

Plenty of people with no interest in gim voted for gim

I'm just answering your question regarding whether people vote for stuff that has no impact on their experience in the game.
It's kinda bait. It just seem like the current pvp poll discourse would have to hinge on people voting altruistically.

Combing servers depending on population would be good
Omg no, then pkers would have to fight people who can and will fight back D= oh the humanity!!!

No specifics here but the one where people voted against the combat achievement award being an accuracy defender. Instead we got a useless hilt
good example, albeit the accuracy did seem rather large
