Over the years, I seem to have noticed how Runescape has consumed all of my spare time.. and surely I'm not alone.

I have been playing Runescape since the release of the Construction skill.

As an experienced player, I would like to throw in my two cents..

I really like the idea of Warding becoming a new skill, but I don't believe it will pass the polls without stuffing the ballot boxes.

To tell the truth, I would've never thought of something like Warding as a potential candidate for a new skill.

It really got me thinking.. "What skill could Jagex possibly add to the game other than Warding?"

Today, I finally thought of something that could contend with Warding as a new skill that has never been mentioned to me over all these years.

Are you ready?

The new skill that I thought of is called Timing.

Timing would be released with the Gielenorian calender which would present the children of Gielenor with weekly events and other news.

In order to level up Timing, you would have to buy 'skill watches' from a young NPC named Timmy, who is trying to find the meaning of life. Time is money!

Each skill watch would represent a different skill such as the 'Slayer watch' or the 'Cooking watch'..etc., which would be worn around the player's wrist or kept in the inventory.

Everyday, Timmy would sell a different kind of watch.

The watches would break once you received a certain amount of experience in the relative skill.

You would gain Timing experience by returning your broken watches to Timmy who would tell you that he can fix them with a little bit of time. (Then you would get an xp drop)

You would do different skill tasks all the way to level 99, breaking thousands of watches along the way.

Timmy would age more and more as you level up in the skill until he is an old man.

You would purchase your skill cape from an NPC named Grandfather Time, who would be an older version of Timmy.


The pet would be a Clockwork Puppy.

Suggestion:
Add the ability to zoom in or out on the minimap.

Why?
Running from position x to position y in the world now requires lots of clicks. With the zoom out option, it would be possible to zoom out a little bit and run to a location further away with 1 click.

How?
Via right click on the minimap. Currently there is only a 'Cancel' option. Depending on the current zoom level, show a 'Zoom in' option and/or 'Zoom out' option.

How about a quality of life short cut to switch world's. Would help keep me off my phone a little more. xD Like an arrow key. I'm currently mining adamantite ore at lvl 74 with a runite pickaxe f2p coming back. :D

Ok I have a question.... why the hell are range and prayer potions damn near the same color? my eyesight isn't the best and this is the fourth time today I've started a task and realized I brought range potions instead of prayer potions. It's kinda getting old, don't know why they are almost the same color to begin with. For people who are colorblind this is a huge pain in the ass. Just thought I would let you know. A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. ~Plato

Bring teleblock to F2P. It worked perfectly when it was added to F2P Runescape early on and had virtually no negative reactions from the community once it was adopted. This will add another dimension to F2P pking that will make for more thrilling battles and attract more action to the F2P pk scene. It also helps eliminate the easy out of a teleport that is knowing overpowered, so much so that pkers will double log on a ragger account since their is such a low risk of dying. W308 multi-pking was killed when the PVP world was released in F2P. Thankfully it has been revived by the influx of mobile players, but that was a matter of good timing. The F2P pking community is a strong sub-community in Old School Runescape and needs more support and acknowledgement from the development team as an value to the game. For many their F2P clan is their favorite part of Old School Runescape. Please help support efforts that keep this gameplay alive and encourage new players to experience this content. I know the teleblock was polled before, but the odds were always against it. PVM and P2P vs the minority F2P PVP, many who can't even vote. If the opposition fully understood the benefit it would bring to the F2P community I would foresee more widespread support. I would support an executive decision to bring teleblock to F2P and with the caveat that it could be removed if it has a negative impact on the game (not sure what that would be).
