The ironman modes are still the closest thing we can get to pre-ge.

Are the pre-GE folks dead?

I'd immediately get back to OSRS with a vanilla OSRS experience and no GE. That's the most nostalgic period of RS for me, and that's largely why I'm interested in OSRS.
I don't like being bothered to learn new things in older games, and OSRS has a lot of that late-game. No Zulrah, no GWD, no whatever that new continent is, and no (or at least less) inconsistent art. I particularly don't like so much of the new content in OSRS being best in-slot (WT for firemaking, Zulrah for loot, NMZ for combat, blow dart gun for fire cape, t-bow). I have no care for raids. Heck, a few days ago I had to question the games necklace Burthope teleport because now it puts you outside the castle, instead of downstairs in the game room. And don't get me started with the Elf quest series; it's
bad
different-enough in OSRS that it's ironically more old-school in RS3
I want an even playing field where everyone and everything is old-school the way I remember it, along with everyone dealing with the same inconveniences. This seems like it would have been an easy decision to at some point to just have a world or two of a vanilla OSRS experience.
WoW is running 4-5+ different versions of their games, and I like switching between them. I started on Classic and like the difficulty. I had the most fun during WotLK, but like the middle-ground of changes with TBC. I like working on new zones occasionally on retail. Basically I can hop into any period of time I want with WoW. OSRS is different-enough between launch and now to warrant a separate world.

Lol, I recall when OSRS devs said they'd never allow a revote on GE, and it was dead...
...so sad they caved.
Maybe we can FINALLY get a Vanilla OSRS Server, with no GE.

Why would someone hate GE?
Because it almost entirely removed the need to explore the game and find things on your own.
Because it offers a single place where ALL bots can dump their ill gotten gains.
Because it entirely removes the players CHOICE to NOT buy from bots (using the grand exchange you don't have a clue who you're buying from and you most certainly enable bots to dump their wares easily when you use it).
Back before the first grand exchange was put in we could identify bots easily and many of us chose to not buy from them.
That's off the top of my head with very little thought.
Nice to see you still around. thinks Jagex should honour the results of the original Old School Poll
