Yes just like there was with eoc yet it still happened.

Plus if ppl could handle summoning once they can deal with it again.

Also like said, it makes 0 sense why the community is forcing jagex on what they can/cant do as thats whats truly "killing the game".

This just enhances the game and the only reason why ppl dont want it to hapen is due to personal grudges which shouldnt be a valid reason.

In this case for summoning, I don't like it but I say poll it and let the people decide once and for all just so this conversation never comes up again.

This is one thing we can agree on. If it polls and fails, then so be it. That'd be that.

Until then, I'll be here every week. Besides, if this conversation keeps coming up, that just means this is something people actually want.

Preface: I support Summoning in OSRS.

Rationale
I remember back in 2008-2010, I never saw a single person complain about summoning. People just thought it was a cool skill. I have no issue with it, and think it added to the game. The content I hated back then was the trade limit (and death to wilderness), dungeoneering (2011), and eventually EOC. These were the updates that killed the game.

I support summoning being brought back (I say that, since we have content that's even newer than Summoning, yet people act like summoning is new content).

I support! It was a fun addition to go with Slayer skill and aided in some other skills too. Would love to have access to some summoning creatures to aid bossing on iron account. There are some crazy hard monsters to kill and I dont like team up with other players to do activities or bossing anyways. If its too OP then restrict it somehow. Like prevent its use in pvp and mass pvm bosses. I've seen worse updates added to osrs! And if people think its "too new content" to be on Osrs, remember that for example Nex was added in 2011 if I recall right. All these tough new quests and monsters can be easy to top players, challenging for others and maybe even impossible to do for some of us. I dont see why Summoning shouldnt be there to aid us to keep up with the rapidly more difficult game mechanics.

Nah many things have been polled more than once even though theyve failed before.

Thus they should do the same for this ;)

"Keep force polling it until I get what I want " Lolno

I played when summoning came out and I can say pretty confidently that it sucked. I think the OSRS direction of thralls is a better way to go.

Problems with summoning in rs3:

- Like 90% of the familars are useless
- Training it is a grindy money sink that has nothing to do with summoning
- Most of the pouches created for training end up useless
- Charms are time consuming and annoying to collect
- Combat levels lose meaning as summoning isn't a real combat skill most of the time
- Beasts of burden drastically change the meta of most in game skills, and break the balance of every endurance combat challenge
- Creates even more server lag for very little upside
- Interacting with familars is cumbersome compared to not using them (ex. using the firemaking familar)
- There are just better uses of the dev's time than implementing a heavy weight skill like this
