Cults I'm going to assume you're actually brain dead. Please stay away from f2p clanning forever, because obviously you don't follow it very well and know how hard it is to get other clans to do anything. Considering the top 3 just came to an agreement to stop a crash war that's been going on for a longgg time, I'd say simply telling other clan leaders to "not" use certain items would be laughable. Don't ever talk to me again

I'm not crying I'm just stating how it is. Well Jagex you do realize this is suppose to be based in august of 07? I don't know how far you're going to stray away from that and still call it old school. It has already been borderline old school, with these barrows updates its 100 percent no longer old school. I don't care that the graphics are still old school. The content would now be 100 percent not old school. This is some rs3 old school bs mix that I don't buy. What the hell are you guys thinking? This is the best you can come up with? Sad. Add corp, and leave old school alone for a while.

It'll always be OSRS, the core combat mechanics aren't changing and neither are the graphics. New items are introduced and obviously need "new" different graphics, they aren't going to simply recolor models to achieve that. They tried that obsidian shields for the wards, which was a terrible idea lol.

I play OSRS, but i want updates.. i like change but obviously not too dramatic like EOC.

flaming the community wont help us, they just dont understand our world. its about convincing them to look beyond what they think is okay to them, and realizing just how badly it effects a portion of the runescape playerbase

So yew shorts and rune boots will make f2p become p2p? Am i missing something?

Most people already do no-armor fights on f2p to actually hit frequently.

maple shortbow: +29 ranged attack
yew shortbow: +47 ranged attack

thats an increase in dps of 162%. with this, rune arrows may also be introduced to free to play (that has not been confirmed or denied).

ranged attack is already incredibly overpowered in free to play warring, and thats with a meager +29 ranged bonus from the bow. the impact of the items in itself are huge, but the introduction of snare will literally (and i mean literally) double the length of holding spells (binds -> snare). a full snare is equivalent to a blitz (or its close), and a half snare is equivalent to a full bind. these changes are NOT needed to f2p warring.

Remember longbow sights from dungeoneering? Yeah no one complained. Probably more op than a yew short I'm guessing. Didn't look the statistics so I'm just assuming right now.

No one complained? I rate DG as one of the worst updates to Rs along with the removal of the wild. It made me quit for 2 or 3 years and was one of the final nails in the coffin of the clanworld.

Before things like DG there was a relatively thriving clan community, now it barely numbers 10 clans.

If this is updated it will kill the clanworld for good. And I, along with many others, will almost certainly quit.

Ad hominems don't work well my friend. We're all peers here, why be insulting?

The polls will decide the fate of F2P, if it's clearly unpopular by not sustaining 75% or higher then that matter will be settled for good i assume.

Jagex has made changes to F2P in the past such as adding maple bows and few other various things, if you can remember that far into the past! 2005-2006'is*. The changes were accepted without a fight, as it made F2P more exciting.

Are jagex trying to kill f2p clanning? Like really Mod Mat K? You should know better than this... The mods just poll the first thing that pops into their head these days without really thinking it through, been that way for the last couple of polls. I think I've voted no more in the last month than I did in the first 18 months of OSRS lol

I agree with people saying f2p is delicate and any changes to it will mess it up completely. However, I think teleblock should be added, as there is no way to assure a kill outside of 20+ wild in f2p which is very annoying.
If you want to raise the price of certain items then buff them a little bit for p2p only and don't add to f2p. Also make f2p open to everyone idk why you guys stopped the f2p trial.

They changed it because rangers were weak in comparison to melee/magers, now all three sides of the combat triangle are about as perfectly balanced as can be so there is no need for any more items because it will just ruin it and imbalance it.

I agree, teleblock isn't a terrible idea. Exactly why they split up the questions and didn't offer it as a bundle.

thing is, people will blindly vote yes without understanding the impact it has on the game. as an avid f2p clanner, i have always based my vote on how it will effect others. like i said, we dont ask for much, just a chance to protect our small world from being ruined -- again.
