NO NO NO**** ruins prices making it impossible to make money. Furthermore, the drop in prices makes rares not so rare, and takes away from the achievement of owning an item, not to mention makes the power somewhat dimmed since everyone owns one. The GE also causes increases in botting, and takes away from the smaller details of osrs. People will only focus on making money if the GE comes back instead of focusing on gameplay itself.

Who are you to decide what people should choose to focus on and what to ignore? Do what makes you happy, and don't impose yourself on others.

Most of the people in this forum seem to be high on something... Quit saying reasons why OldSchool was brought to us when we all know half of what all of you are saying is complete bull.

The one and only reason we got OSRS is because they wanted to change the combat. And that's it.

Exactly and it's laughable that the "veteran" players don't understand this. The major outcry for an old school runescape came about after EOC NOT after the implementation of the GE.

It came after a popular private project. That's the most relevant thing to OSRS and its popularity.

In short, the GE is the worst content update to ever hit Runescape because it devalues every aspect of the game and makes Runescape's endless expanse of content unappealing to ever get involved in other than the sake of raising that number to 99.

Having resources and items more difficult to come by encourages players to explore these branches of content themselves - not for the sake of a number, but because it actually means something on their journey.

Having everything spoon fed to you like some incompetent baby doesn't promote game play at all.



I think most would agree that the worst content update was not the implementation of the GE but the EOC. Runescape was flourishing at the time of the GE and continued to after. To say that using the GE is being "spoon fed" is comedic, the GE reduces the time spent wasting hours in varrock west spamming auto chat. But hey I won't knock that if you truly love standing in a crowded bank space spamming the same thing over and over, even tho that's one of the major arguments against the addition of the GE. Don't be ignorant and refuse content that will only help the OSR community because of nostalgic reasons. If you don't want to use the GE then don't, if there are as many people that feel like you then I am positive third party sites like **bez will still be a viable option. If you argue that everyone will use the GE and that is what you fear then you must be part of smaller demographic group being over ruled by democracy.

I'll also be quitting if GE is added. One of the big reasons I even joined OSRS is for the nostalgia of street trading. Say whatever you want, but adding GE would:
1.Leave every other bank in OSRS deserted
2.Destroy more nostalgia of veterens like myself (yes, I actually joined in 06)
I'm conclusion, there's no point in even adding OSRS of you're just going to turn it into Legacy wit old graphics.
NO TO GE!


1-every other bank in OSR is already deserted. Most people are standing in west varrock bank spamming the same thing over and over and over. If you fail to realize this then the community is not going to be missing much after you leave.
2-If nostalgia is the main reason for keeping progressive content out of the game, especially content that could bring more members and improve the community, then again the community is better off without you and your "veteran" ********.

The "I'm a veteran, I've played since 06 so my opinion means more" nonsense has to stop. I have played this game for way to long and saying that my opinion or you and your delusion that your opinion is worth more than anyone else is ridiculous and a sickness that needs to be cured.

And if you think the only difference between OSR and legacy mode is poor graphics you should just stop playing because you have lost site of why we all play old school.
