These f2p updates are completely short sighted. The only people playing f2p are clanners. None of us support this, and none of us ever asked for this. In fact, I don't know who actually did ask for this? These updates wouldn't bring more people to f2p, they'd drive clanners away (the only people actually playing it). The only reason I and most of my clan are still playing the game at this point is because we enjoy f2p wars, and this would COMPLETELY ruin those fights. We've already had to deal with updates like greater tabs, stamina pots, auto world hop, etc. We worked around that, but we simply can't work around yew longs/rune arrows/snares/splitbark etc. That COMPLETELY destroys f2p pking. It's completely against the spirit of f2p, and is downright ridiculous.

These items aren't used for a reason, and are priced accordingly--that's economics. I understand you're trying to bring more life to the f2p wilderness, but this is the worst attempt to date at doing so. Angering the only existing *2pers isn't going to have the effects you want, and making f2p more like p2p sure as heck isn't gonna work. If you want to get more people on FREE to play, actually make it free. Otherwise, leave it the way it is. These half-hearted attempts at improving f2p aren't going to be successful- EVER.

Nuff said. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

I dont support the amulet, it needs a little work. The effects all seem wicked good. In pvp dharok can already 1 hit with veng, now with veng a ring of recoil and the set effect would be way too much. and the other sets effects all seem wicked annoying to be up against too. Ancients already hit high enough, and a karils crossbow is already brutal. The extra hitsplats can drop people way too fast. It should lower the enemy defence or something

If the F2P updates get implemented, the F2P warring scene will die without a doubt. Snares, Splitbark, Rune Boots and Yew Shortbows will have an immense effect on the way fights work. People will be frozen for longer, and every one will be in gear with almost twice the bonuses.

Do you even think before you offer these updates? It's over. Now that you've posted this blog, it has to go on a poll. People who slay are going to vote yes on everything so their slayer drops increase. Others who aren't in clans are going to vote yes because they have no reason not to.

You literally just destroyed the clan world.

Amulet of the Damned
I'm going to be voting no on this one. Instead of polling a change to the actual set effect you are attempting to do a roundabout band-aid fix. I'd rather you poll changes to the set effects that need changing.

Also I think it would be a good idea to poll certain set pieces that are behind in stats over non-degradable items, such as Karil's Coif.

I do like the idea of the item being a reward from shades though, that's going in the right direction.

Dark Core Pet
Meh, PetScape. Don't care.

'Clan Wars Classic' Arena
Don't care. Will vote yes to make others happy.

Additions to F2P
The boots I will definitely support (I do hope this is bronze-rune, please word it clearer!) As for Splitbark, I really don't see why people are concerned. Magic is supposed to be good against melee (combat triangle people, all been here before). The melee defense bonuses are not that high (akin to black/steel equipment), and it has
zero ranged defense
. That's a little fact people seem to be forgetting about. Not only that, you cannot effectively hybrid in it (hello -21 ranged accuracy).

The spells I would totally support adding.

Yew bows... a little bit hesitant.

You don't get it..

Magic already IS better than melee, it is by far the most vital combat class in F2P clanning. You literally cannot war without mages(Ok you can, but noone would ever die), but you can war with melees and ranges.

Like I said a few pages back.. If you don't understand it then there's a large amount of F2P clanners here, ask one of them to tag along on their next pk or to let you know when and you can go watch and you'll understand why this would completely break F2P warring.

F2P clanning is extremely well balanced, it's about as perfection to balance as you can get (and I dare anyone to try argue otherwise, I doubt you will find something that would make it even more balanced). Any update to it, and especially the ones in the OP (apart from maybe TB) would just imbalance it heavily and completely ruin it.
