ohnononononono. The anti-Ge people are a SERIOUSLY loud minority. They're annoying, but if ge gets polled it will *Probably* pass, Assuming there are more people like you who don't/didn't play oldschool because there wasn't a GE who vote yes.
I see the same names who were completely against GWD/Every content update, and when gwd got polled it hit 89% of votes lol.
The hardest part of any quest on 07 is 1) getting the items for it and 2) Walking to places since run barely works properly.
But yes I agree, half of the players call things like this a challenge lmao.
Getting quest items becomes easier once you know where to find everything, I obtained my quest cape in the first weeks of oldschool and while it was initially frustrating to locate items like molten glass or (a random herb), I found it easier once I had higher skill levels.
All the running (or should I say walking) is annoying though, not a lot you can do either unless you want to spend hundreds of k on super energy.
Look, I don't mind the fact that there's no resizable mode, no resting system, no clan system, no robust pathfinding, no antialiasing, no summoning, no overloads and turmoil...
What I truly want is the GE. A way for us to trade consistently. It's extremely annoying as it stands now, having to depend on... idiots that take 2 months to reply and make you go to their place even though they promised they'd go to you.
It SUCKS. It's not fun. It's not hard, it's just annoying.
Zybez is an effective alternate to the ge for most items, its just "specialty/rare" items that are difficult to purchase using it. Although I've learned from experience that you shouldn't expect people to buy/sell to you instantly, it can take a few hours or more, so I try to buy what I need several hours in advance.
W1 is a mess though, only go there as a last resort.
