YES.. YES & YES!

Full Support for Summoning, it added such a fantastic nice touch to the game that improved upon very many things in the game. It gave life to many items within the game & The skill it self was a fantastic Gold & Item sink.

Since Jagex added Summoning to the game it always felt like it belonged because it plays such an enormous part in the RPG element of the game.

Summoning also played a nice part in with Slayer which is always a plus in my book.

How would letting people afk farm GWD until they hit the 6 hour logout limit and an inventory full of uniques even remotely help the economy? It felt so artificial and fucking disgusting. Also, slayer is broken enough as is. I would much rather anyone PK in game than do so irl. If you wanna get it out, do it on an online platform please. I don't want anyone getting harmed physically. :(

No support. OP seems to completely misunderstand osrs. Almost as if you don't even play it. First of all, it's not 07scape anymore. That's been long established by now. That's the reason why it's called Osrs a.k.a. Old school Runescape... That isn't a good enough reason or argument to go apesh*t and go full pre-eoc.

We (those who play osrs) understand that this is a different and it's own game. Despite items such as spirit shields and dragon claws, we try to be our own game. This game has always been updated and headed towards a direction in a way that it should be played without a familiar. Summoning would break the game. It would change everything. Big impact on prayer and pvm. Items like ring of the gods or prayer bonuses wouldn't matter anymore if you pak dat yak full with potions anyways.. Any pvm content wouldn't be much of a challenge anymore. Inferno would be a joke. Saying this wouldn't change the game at all is complete horsesh..

Nope. I play the game. Most likely longer than you have but I'm not one for pissing contests.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Just seen your response just now despite it being almost a year old but the thread is still going for some reason so I guess I can reply now.

I still stand by what I've said and I still feel like you haven't played this game enough to understand that osrs has gradually gone into a direction where you can't just subtly add summoning without breaking the game/changing everything.

And no. No you haven't been playing more or longer than me. I'll guarantee you that. Maybe you can try and come up with a rebuttal? Maybe explain why I'm wrong instead of claiming I don't know what I'm talking about?

I believe you misunderstood me, i never mentioned anything about bringing Summoning back EXACTLY the way it was implemented before. These are things that we now have a bigger control over as a community.

Seeing Summoning return today would not mean overpowered Unicorns & Large BOB's or a strong titan to aid you in combat

& as of Slayer i only meant charm collecting as I PERSONALLY really enjoyed collecting those things.

I think this is why Oldschool will never recieve a new skill honestly, because people can't escape the trauma of RS3.

OSRS is in a natural progression state right now so one way or another these GWD bosses will become easier & easier with time no matter how many skills we deny to the game.
Together
can we build the very best
Runescape

I don't agree with your reasons to add summoning to OSRS. Just because it was released on a certain day, does not mean it should be added.

Your claims that it is the "best skill" would be valid reasons to add it, if you had backed these up with evidence. Simply claiming that it is the best without any additional info, does not warrant adding it to the game.

In addition, your claim that there is no reason not to poll it isn't true. Summoning has already been polled, and polling things multiple times introduces bias into the polling process.

Jesus christ, that's ancient. I was still in college when I wrote that.

Anyway, like I said, I'm not one for pissing contests. So maybe you have been playing longer than me but I highly doubt it.

Either way, I don't really care. And I also don't really care to give a rebuttal to something it took you a year to come up with. Moment's passed and all that. I've moved on.

No, it hasn't been polled. I'd know.

No support.

Messes with economy to the length we cannot foresee anymore. There are lots of new content out there that supports all kinds of combat, banking, teleportation, prayer, everything. All this has come after the original 2007 game so it renders helpfulness of summoning on skilling or combat just OP, making game again too easy, and achievements easier to obtain. Summoning did help some areas back then, now theres other kinds of balances introduced.

Theres also Summoning OSRS Q&A on youtube.
