With the shift-click function, I think it might be useful to make it so if you have multiple items ( ie. barb fishing ) from the bottom of the inventory, instead of having to move down your entire inventory. Most people when using shift click are barb fishing or grinding mining & dropping, so it would make it easier to click in one spot rather than go over the inventory.
I don't think this would cause any issues, and would be helpful to a lot of the playerbase.

Bump up the number of coins that can be placed into the chests in PoH game and treasure rooms. 1500 coins for the best chest? Really? I imagine this should be fairly easy to implement. Old School Update Priority: Fix Broken Skills > Revitalize Dead Minigames > Everything Else

Bot Suggestions:
1. Post a stick listing common suggestions and why they won't work.

2. Players need to be more involved in the bot-stopping process. What I think would work (though I'm certainly no expert in bot-stopping) would be to institute penalties that are less severe than long term bans and so require less proof before punishment. Instead of ~100% proof of botting these punishments could be doled out automatically after, say, x reports for macroing, at least one report from a player mod, and automated profiling as a bot beyond some threshold of certainty (in particular, the player must have less than 20 or 30 quest points in order to be profiled as a bot).

3. And what could these punishments be? For a small amount of time (e.g. a day or a week),
a) Pickaxes and axes would all function as if they were made of bronze. Mining bots are the worst because, in addition to their effect on the economy, regular players can't compete with them (in particular new players that can't use rune yet).
b) I don't know why CAPTCHAs aren't used anymore (they still seem to be quite common on other websites). Give bots a CAPTCHA before they are allowed to log in or access their bank account (and make them solve it every 10 minutes).
c) To stop brute force password attacks, hashing algorithms are made to be slow. Why not do the same for suspected bots? Increase the time it takes to drop items, pick up items, access the bank, etc.
d) Cap their trade. Personally I would support all free players having capped trade (based on quest points and total level) for up to a week, though I'm not sure if this would pass the polls.
e) IP bans.
f) Dangerous randoms. What was the problem with these? I've seen many bots killed by muggers and dark wizards. Old School Update Priority: Fix Broken Skills > Revitalize Dead Minigames > Everything Else

The main takeaway from the above post is that bot stopping needs to be more decentralized. Jagex can't stop all the bots alone, the players and mods need to be a part of the process. Also, I would absolutely love to see all of those mining bots getting outlined when their rune pickaxes suddenly stops working like it did before. Maybe give player mods their own rotten potato that lets them blow up axes or turn them to bronze. :D Old School Update Priority: Fix Broken Skills > Revitalize Dead Minigames > Everything Else

New idea for a pet: The superior pet. Give it something like 1/1000 drop from superior monsters(So 1/200,000 when combined with the superior spawn rate). Have it change into the last superior you killed while it was following you. Not sure if possible/worth the time but would be a cool idea.

Can you make it so the Holy water /Enchanted vials work in pvp aswell? Because right now you can't deal any damage even if it says you have +6 range bonus.

Just to make sure is that I don't look for the special attack that work on demons just the damage you can deal with the equal range bonus. :D

With the RS Mobile FAQ we had a section which stated the questions asked in the stream and the answers given. Would it be possible for this to be done for all streams? Often I miss the stream or parts of it and would rather get the salient points rather than watch the whole thing. I think this could also be beneficial for people who have a question that may already have been answered in stream.
