Summoning won't pass.

Beasts of Burden in particular would ruin the game.

The Devs just showed they care about balance, even more than they do about your petty notions of mob rule. What makes you think they will tolerate your ridiculous idea of bringing back a skill that threw off the balance of the game previously? Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

This. I have always been for a completely revamped and rebalanced summoning. My idea of this wouldn't be anything like the old summoning. I'm talking just COMPLETELY DELETING every original beast of burden and replacing them all with new, unique ones that'd be balanced. I'll list a couple of specifications here:

1. Remove every inventory holding beast (nothing should hold more inventory than your actual inventory with the exception of runecrafting pouches which are extremely limited with regards to their utility)
2. Only have the smallest storage beast if we're gonna have that again (the Kalphite thingy or whatever)
3. Don't have around 95% of the useful beasts just being upgraded versions of a previous one like all the storage beasts and bunyips/unicorn stallions. That just promotes dead content. Nothing else.
4. As for the rest of the beasts that were just dead content and never used, let's avoid this. Give them a situational use in the game. If something's going to be dead content, I just don't want it in the game at all.


That being said, I feel like summoning could have potential but nothing like it was in the original game. Besides, I trust that the OSRS dev team would balance everything properly.
Make OSRS Great Again! Build a firewall on our OSRS border and have the RS3 degenerate dev team pay for that wall with all of the funding they get from their cancerous microtransactions!!

And you know what? I'd be cool with this. I'm not looking for a copy and paste version of the skill.

I just want to play the skill again in a good game and if these are the changes that would allow it to pass a poll, then so be it.

I've hidden some posts that contain name-calling and insults towards other forum users, and some posts that quoted that. It's fine to discuss the topic, and it's fine not to agree, but please stay away from making comments about each other, as that strays into the are of personal attacks and that is not ok.

Lol this post is comical. "Let me throw a few facts your way" the op then proceeds to protest about how he thinks summoning is the best skill in the game multiple times.

There is no facts here, just your idiot bias, alot of people don't want summoning. Just because you "say" it's the best skill, doesn't make it true.
