I am greatly against graves, for a variety of reasons.
First, we don't really have any item sinks, causing everything to become worthless over time. Graves would compound this effect, since sorry to say it, but disconnects are currently our only form of an item sink.
Second, they give players too much of a sense of security, often leading to them risking items they are not willing to lose. I can't count how many times I heard about people losing 'their bank' because their internet went out or something, then blaming Jagex and asking for items returned (I hear you do that now in rs3, lol?).
If graves do have to be implemented, I would like them to require a tax, based on what you are risking, to receive your stuff back. This said tax could then be payed by donating other ITEMS in much the same way as mobilizing armies worked. Items that actually need an item sink please.
I basically don't want the game to become "easyscape" again, and graves were the turning point where it encroached upon that in my opinion. There's a difference between quality of life and holding someone's hand. Lessening the risk of dying is probably okay, but completely removing it is not. Death should always have some type of penalty.
