Question: Should we remove 10 worlds from the world list to boost activity on the other worlds?

You should. You should also get rid of the 2nd PVP world that people rarely use. We need to re-concentrate the pkers so edgeville isn’t so sad and I can find plenty others of my level to pk.

Question: Should tradeable items become visible immediately to all players if their owner chooses to drop them on the ground in the Wilderness?

Yes.

Question: Should the cave kraken Slayer creature drop a new level 75 staff with a built-in spell for use against monsters, as described in the blog?

1st: WHY 75?! Can’t we have any combat skill require 80 or higher to wield/equip? I want (not OP) higher level requiring armor/weapons. 2nd: I want this staff to hit just as hard as a whip, because otherwise I am not going to even consider using magic for slayer. Magic is expensive and hitting 22s while spending money is not attractive.

Question: Should we increase the alch value of Bandos armour very slightly to make it protect on death over crystal equipment and Barrows equipment?
Yes.

Question: Should we add a level 10 Agility shortcut to shorten the route from Varrock's west bank to the spirit tree?
Yes.

Question: Should the run energy icon near the minimap toggle your Run Mode setting when you click it?
Yes.

Question: Should the prayer points icon near the minimap allow you to select some 'quick prayers' and toggle them on and off when you click it?
Yes.

Question: Should the health icon near the minimap allow you to cure poison or cure disease when you click it, provided you have suitable items in your inventory?
Yes.

Question: Should we increase the cool-down time on the minigame teleports to 1 hour?
I don’t know how it’s abused. Why change it?

Question: Should the God Wars Dungeon altars give a message stating how long before you'll next be able to use them?
Yes.

Question: If you are in a chat-channel when you log out, should you automatically attempt to re-join it on lo

Also I was wondering you know that demon in that picture underneath the slow recharging prayer location in the wilderness? I was wondering when will be start getting Older Schooled NPC Graphics polled and released into the game. I know this has been a topic and discussion in the past but I still think its in real big demand for older npc graphic designs. I know I definally would absolutely loveeeeeeeee to see old styled imps, demons, goblins, dragons, moss and hill gaints, ice and fire gaints, and etcc. Im sure there were more npcs with older graphics but that's all I can think of at the moment on the top of my head. I would especially loveeeee that cute imp that extremely small man in an imp costume ^=^. I mean who doesn't find that cute. I was wondering if this would ever be polled as the old npc graphics kinda just hit my head when I seen that old styled demon picture you had on this developers blog :P .

Question: If you are in a chat-channel when you log out, should you automatically attempt to re-join it on login?
Yes.

Question: Should you have the option to pay some Slayer points to unlock mithril dragons as a new task from Duradel and Nieve?
Yes.

Question: Should you have the option to pay some Slayer points to unlock aviansies as a new task from Duradel, Chaeldar and Nieve?
Yes. Perhaps add some of the new creatures that will be added to the wilderness too.

Question: Should we add new channels to the minigame grouping panel for finding Black Arm / Phoenix Gang members, finding God Wars Dungeon parties and finding Waterbirth Island parties? These channels would not have teleports associated with them.
Yes.

Question: Should we add loot broadcasts to the Kalphite Queen, the King Black Dragon, the Dagannoth Kings and the Chaos Elemental?
You mean that in my chat box I’ll receive a notice when someone receives a nice drop? Sounds like an alright idea. I’d only like to hear from GWD bosses and new bosses. Perhaps customize that option 

Question: Should watered saplings have a (w) appended to their names?
Yes.

Question: Should the Total Level box on the stats interface have a tooltip that shows your total XP?
Yes.

Question: Should we add 24 more bank spaces to everyone's bank?
Bank tabs too 

The Dark bow only required 60 ranged to use and was a drop from a lvl 90 slayer monster. So why not even the playing field with a Dragon staff! This could be dropped from the Kraken monster.

-
Dragon staff
: This staff allows an infinite amount of air and fire runes to be used.
-
Special attack
: Allows you to double hit with the spell you are using and increases the max hit of the spell you are using by 50 % and uses 60 % special attack bar.
-Examples: the fire blast hits a max of 16, the special attack would allow you to hit 24 twice!

The special attack only works with the elemental spells.

The lowest level pure could be 32 just like the lvl 32 d bowers with 10 hp! But lets face it, this dragon staff could be more powerful down the road just like the dark bow!
And here's how: with the formula i made for the damage that the special attack could do, depends on the 4 basic spells you can use, earth, water, fire, and air.

So later on when you get 75 magic for fire wave, your max hit is 20 and with the special attack, your new special attack max hit would be a possible 30-30.

Even farther down the road, if Jagex decides to add surge spells back into the game. The fire surge can hit 30s with no special magical staff damage boosts or potions or prayers. The dragon staff would allow the special attack to be a whopping possible 45-45!

About the new shields...

Couldn't you make like some kind of Spirit shield but with diferent colors at what they are on rs3 and then add a Sigil to each new wilderness boss wich you will need to smith into a new shield, that sounds way better in my opinion.

I'm sure you will be able to find a way to put a spirit shield into oldschoolRS, cause they came in 2008.

Jmod respond to this one please, I'd like to know what you think ;) ty

That staff is ridiculously weak. Not only is the spell super expensive, but the damage output is horrendous.

The staff should AT LEAST equal crystal bow in terms of dps. Crystal bow eventually becomes 72gp/shot whereas this staff would continuousl cost 400-500k+ per 1k.



Add a consumable drop to krakens like polypore spores and reduce the cost of the spell big time. Boost the attack speed to standard (whip) and bring the max hit in line with crystal bow. Until then, magic is a joke in PvM.

^This. I can't see myself using this staff at any point if the spell's cost exceeds that of Fire Bolt. Heck, when the Polypore was released, its popularity was based on the premise that its attack was inexpensive to use.

In all honesty, I don't mind the staff's power (Though I agree that Single-Target magic spells need a serious DPS buff), so long as the spell itself is basically dirt-cheap to use. if it's going to cost more than about 50gp per cast, it needs dps at the very least on par with a dragon scimitar, if not a whip.

This does emphasize the main problems with single-target magic attacks. They're pitifully weak and ridiculously expensive.

That Greater Demon MUST be a part of the basic level upgrade! Since it has its picture there, I expect to see it if the poll passes.
It looks like a greater demon and red dragon have something to explain.
