Yes, said 28,676 very reasonable people. No, said 19,238 people who are less reasonable, though I like the cut of their jib far more.<\/p>\n<p>You might have also noticed that these Nail Beast defenders are fewer in number\u2014despite that, we&#8217;re talking about the fact that nail beasts are still loud. That&#8217;s because Jagex only enacts these changes if a significant majority\u201470% or more\u2014are on board with it. The status quo endures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Help us understand,&#8221; Jagex writes\u2014presumably with its heads in its hands, next to a bottle of empty whisky, in a very dark room, weeping\u2014&#8221;Do you want the Nail Beasts to be louder?
