Really psyched about this update. Don't quite feel good about the untradeables turning to gold but it is what it is.

Also, "If you die in level 20 wilderness you drop all untradeable items as gold which seems to be a good middle ground." Well gee, I'd better hope i'm in some other level of wilderness, like 21 or 19 or 38, when i die so that my untradeables don't turn into gold. How strange that it's only level 20. (nitpicking i know)

The afk training in Guthans seems a bit more fairer (because of the cost of barrows) than splashing, but I equally don't support it. Perhaps accelerate the degrade rate of barrows armor in nmz? Or add some powerup that's like "A powerup has spawned!: Are you afk?" and if you don't take it, it boots you out of nmz. Have it spawn only when wearing guthans? Force hard-rumbles if the player has a full set of guthans? Occasionally spawn a hard-boss on easy rumbles?

You make no sense and none of those are even good alternatives. NMZ guthan costs a ******* fortune and its bad experience per hour. You get 5x more xp being at the computer. It's not an issue.

Reading through the comments, it seems a lot of you are upset about the cost of smoke battlestaff plummeting (if it of course does that). Perhaps we should look at ways to improve it to help it hold its value.

The salt is real.

I'm going to enjoy training my magic today after Thanksgiving the NORMAL, LEGIT way, and not by splashing and going AFK, which, while it isn't against the rules, is most certainly against the spirit of the game.

Boring it may be, but the ways I have in mind are how the game was MEANT to be played! And that's coming from someone who has played since 2005.

I applaud you, Old School team, for manning up and taking action, even if the survey/poll didn't look like it'd pass for any option! No, really, I do.

To those of you who are angsty - give me your salt. I need it for my turkey and mashed potatoes today.

Oh, I almost forgot.
Oh, I already forgot.

Unbelievable. You decide to chance some things against majoritys will and leave others. I for example, as active pker, would love to see those untradeables be turned to cash or some kind of insurance system brought in. almost 50-50 result there, and this you decide to do nothing about. I'm guessing no one of the oldschool team pks at all. Do you realise that is is possible for people to actually pk in gear where they risk just power ammy while still having really high bonuses because of the void armour ?
Wilderness is filled with people who are risking nothing in return for almost best in slot items.
Firecape is 1,5-2 hours job for people knowing what to do, yet you can use it without risk. And yea, it is a best in slot item. Fighter torso/hat are both best in slot items for people with 40-64 defence. Again, 0 risk for highest possible reward. Defenders take literally no time to get once you've gone through the struggle of going from on defender to rune defender. Yet again, 0 risk for arguably best in slot offhand item.

Thanks for removing splashing when it was voted to not be removed. Now there is literally no reason to get 93 slayer as the smoke battlestaff will be worth next to nothing (and the occult necklace is already worth like 500k if that...) 87 slayer is now better than 93. If half of the community wanted this to stay it really was a dumb move to keep it, me and many others where so close to 93 slayer and now it is useless and i no longer feel motivated at all to get there. Thanks a lot for devaluing slayer, you should have thought of the consequences before hand.

TLDR: removing splashing has ruined 93 slayer.

A majority actaully voted for splashing to be removed, that is until commission stakers started paying people not to fix it. The final poll result doesn't reflect the actaul thoughts of the community, and it was stated by some of the Jmods on twitter that this would be accounted for. Furthermore, The Smoke devil boss came out prior to the removal of splashing. Back then Smoke battlestaffs were about 3m, so it actaully isn't too bad, assuming the staffs fall back to that price.

Why tf would commission stakers pay people not to vote yes to "fixing" splashing?
That doesn't make any sense.

I actaully have no idea why, it didn't make sense to me either, but several people have stated that comission stakers were paying to bug that poll too.

Oh so you don't actually know what you're talking about. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense so it's likely false.

Yeah, cause when several people including jmods mention something, it's apparently false.

Nah mate, most of it seems to be about how you passed a poll without it hitting the proper criteria.

Care to elaborate on that, or are Jagex just gonna sweep that one under the carpet again yeah?

Err.

You do know you always had the option to train it "Legitimately", right? And that you didn't need splashing to be removed to train your magic level using other methods... Right?
