Runescape 2007 polls in new content. 75% of the community must vote on it for it to be accepted into the game. This method as worked incredibly well. I think a similiar feature should be added here.
This is my solution
Donators are the only ones able to vote. That way its a greater chance that a donator wants this game to have good updates rather than trolls spam voting.
Donator and normal player poll. It would be the same poll but you could see what the donators voted for and what the normal players did. For example. Add in a chat update. It got 78% donators approval and 70% community. This is a good way to gauge how much of the community wants something. Also the community should be 10% near donators vote. For example if the donators got a 82% on a poll, then the community needs to get at least 72% for it to be accepted. If that is not a good method we could always take the average of the two.
Thoughts?
