I definitely agree with your statements. From my own personal experience there is definitely a disparity between the communities that play on the 2007 format of Runescape and then the player base on Runescape 3. Naturally this can not be said for every player, but I have generally found that a majority of the players that now play RS3 are simply more mature and well mannered than those that play on 07scape. Again I'd like to stress as you did that this is a generality and by no means am I saying every 2007 player is toxic, but by and large that community just isn't playing for the same reasons as the community on RS3.
With that being said, I think the implementation of Legacy will attract like-minded individuals of 07scape, onto the current Runescape platform. Which is not a community I am all to thrilled about mixing. I also wish that such a poll would have been put in place following the release of Revolution, however I have a hard time believing there would be a different outcome. The same people will always see the potential to, "go back to the old Runescape" and it will be the way it used to be when they were in grade school. However, that will never be the case, and these individuals will ultimately never be pleased.
I am also curious as to how these two systems will interact with each other. Like many of you I am not generally interested in PVP, however with special attacks being something that is always readily available where as abilities are something that must be built towards using the higher tier ones, I'm not sure how that would play out as far as PVM. I feel like it would be a distinct advantage to either platform, depending on what the forum is. Also special attacks such as the one on the Enhance Excalibur; I wonder if they are intending to bring back these stat-boosting/abilities that are not necessarily for use in combat special attacks.
It will be interesting to see, I just hope that Jagex ceases to chase their tale in the near future and understand that while player feedback is good when it comes to a developing a game, it should not be something that causes you to second guess massive updates that countless work hours have been put towards building. That way of thinking is not conducive to a games life expectancy.
