After spending hours mulling this over in my head and genuinely questioning why this is the way it is, i want to know why longbows have the same stats as shortbows, players will pick the shortbow over the longbow 99.7% of the time for the simple fact that it attacks faster, theres no incentive to use a longbow over a shortbow, so i was wondering if there was a way to simply give longbows a small strength buff, the shortbows are best for attack speed, the comp bows are in a good position (even though i never see anyone using them) being a 5 tick attack with a 2 ranged damage increase, but the longbows just get (ignore the pun) the short stick out of the group, i just doesnt make sense to me no matter how much i think about it, so if theres a really good reason for this id like to know, if not then i hope theres a chance they can get a little buff that would make them a viable option

Idea for random parties (raids). The only risk would be non-cooperation and bring more players. In the event of bossing raid boss fight. Rather than one character obtain the drop sell it and trade the shares. What about an NPC who's village was saved will deliver the winnings back to the grand exchange and split half the winnings among the players for a more constant salary and players don't get scammed

With sailing coming up I was thinking we need a way to get skillers killing and killers skilling.

Hunter bosses: Witcher style tasks that are acquired from port tasks as well as from town criers. repeatable mini quest that procedurally generated small-med instances with people to talk to and clues you have to follow using hunter to learn which beast youre hunting and how to kill it.

Once you gather your information difficulty of the beast is decided by the total slayer lvl of the party. The lower the slayer the harder the beast so bring a skiller if you want a real fight. skillers will be able to craft traps, special weapons, and witcher style potions to aid in the kill (if the towns ppl give them the information).

The important part is that the type of monster is not dictated by a lvl. the type of beast, its attacks, strengths and weaknesses are all random learned through information gathered from the hunt. the difficulty is an inverse of slayer lvl (not combat).

This could be great for sailing to new islands or picking up at any town.

This is a poll ABOUT the poll, it should maybe be added as an integrity change

I think the new jagex account should be used for osrs polls instead of characters.

literally i've seen several accounts just today posting 10+ alt accounts all voting no to every update in the summit poll.

It's really cheap of these people and I think it should be changed for the health of the game.

One thing that could use a update/upgrade i think is the balloon transport system, right now theres almost no use for it since the spots are way out of the way from most banks (i think castle wars balloon is the closest to a bank). There could be one at the GE (or nearby) Maybe one in the desert or in a spot where there are not many ways to get there.

I was finding it strange how the POH is still just a square of grass floating in a black void. I was thinking if we had themes of the houses surroundings, whether it's related to where the house is located or if we can customize it ourselves. If you wanted your house in the woods, on an island in the ocean or in the desert with cacti. I just think it would bring some life to the POH's. I was originally thinking that the player owned house should just be on an instanced island, which could lead to potentially adding some sailing content (maybe a dock) in your own house.

I understand that unlocking certain criteria of the game is specific to membership content, that way it is incentive to pay for membership, but would it be the end of the world if skill capes earned in F2P could be worn in F2P? - removing all bonus' and teleport/utility functions unless on members worlds would be fine. and on that note, making halo's in castle wars reward shop accessible to F2P. They are cosmetic so no actual gain would be made, other than getting more people involved in some of the minigame content. Rings of recoil would be a lifesaver as well in F2P. - none of these would make very little difference to the game, but would be some small quality of life improvements.

I think we should have the ability to combine a fire cape with a skill cape for strength, attack or defence which will have the same stats as the fire cape but give the skill cape a fire cape look to it. Would be cool just to switch up the look and the firecape could use some new charms to it since most people have it for a very long time until infreno.

Poll: Should players be able to revert Zenyte jewellery. Returning the zenyte shard back to the player but destroying the onyx in the process.

Yes I fucked up and made 2 of the same zenyte jewellery but come on. When so many people have made the same mistake I have it stands to reason that there is a design problem with making zenyte jewellery. Why the hell would anyone want to 'make all' with zenyte jewellery.
