why doesn't that 75% of the people that play this game go back to rs3 and let the 25% of people hat enjoy OUR game the way its suppose to be

Because we don't want EOC, Treasure Hunter, Solomon, overpowered armour... but we want 2007 updates like the GE.

As a player who started runescape in 2003...Please don't bring the GE back...It was never really part of 07 and is not needed in this game! The reason I play 07 is because Rs' glory days were in 2003-2007.

It defeats so many objectives of playing the game in my opinion.

- Removes the spirit of p2p trading completely.
- Gaining instant access to any item you needs discourages p2p community, player interaction and an effort or challange to get a particular item.
- Caters to players looking for the easy option / new players (instant access to items)
- Merchanting clans and price manipulation on every day use items...
- 07 is largely based on nostalgia...and the GE is just an insult to that premise.

If the mods have no problem with this poll being so utterly rigged then I really won't even be sad to leave this game. Heck, the creator did it. Andrew Gower leaving his life's biggest achievement behind is pretty telling.

Well said. :)

The reason I can't devote to OSRS, and will most likely unsubscribe, is because even if the GE doesn't pass, the OSRS-Team will expand the Trading Post. And as the Trading Post is at the moment is already barely acceptable.

I am all for the content-updates and understand that the OSRS-Team have to be occupied, but these "simplifying"-updates just aren't the way. Unfortunately, this is the direction the game is and will continue to go.

It's like something that isn't broken, is trying to be fixed.

...back to Azeroth I guess.

EoC - They brought out legacy mode, which actually is good aswell.

Treasure Hunter & Solomon - These are ****, yeah. I don't understand why they don't put such effort into making new actual armour. Hell, they could actually introduce more than 1 set per tier. Still, you're not forced to use them, and they barely affect your gameplay.

Overpowered Armour - You guys voted for Godwars ffs.
