My feedback :)
Part 1
Great job with the slayer partners, I'm a little unsure about partners inheriting block tasks but it's done now and its not such a huge deal.
And great job with the animations, however I do have a huge issue with this update which I cover in part 2 of my post.
Thanks for the achievement dairy fixes, they just were a pain.
And thanks for the other general fixes.

Part 2
One thing I'm questioning is why did you poll the fountain of rune teleport, tan leather and recharge dragonstone animations but not these teleports?

I only have one request with OSRS: Please stop with the unpolled content!

I don't care if the community would have or will vote yes to something. Old School is meant to be for the players and therefore everything should be polled, like stated when the game was released.

Personally the only unpolled change I partially agree with is the auto typer because you clearly stated that you weren't going to poll it because it helps stop bots and spam. You clearly didn't try to hide the fact it wasn't unpolled, you evne had a post describing why.

I see this as one of the biggest unpolled changes and we now have a significant amount of unpolled content now.
- Corp tele
- Bounty hunter hats
- Granite clamp
- Big Mos may
- All these teleports

Updates can be great but you have to remember that the Old School community needs the poll to work as a buffer to make sure the update is the best it can be. This isn't the first time I've had to post about unpolled content and I'm annoyed that I know it won't be the last.

My friend and I are thoroughly confused. We're unable to do slayer partners because it says "The player is offline, or has privacy mode enabled." We're typing in our names correctly, and I can't find any option for this mysterious "privacy mode" in the interface. Only thing I could think of was "Accept aid" which has nothing to do with. Please help, would love to utilize this new feature. :)

Dear Mr. Jagex Team,
In my 10 years of playing runescape up until the disaster that was EoC, I quit until 07 came back, and i absolutely LOVE how you let the community build the game. I have never complained about anything in this game ever i always just roll with it. Recently i start and ultimate ironman and man... i cant explain how much fun im having, i spent 10 hours getting an amulet of power and i enjoyed every second of it, i felt like i got an elysain drop. But come on guys let us ironmen do share tasks with friends...here are my points
-Ironmen still only get the exp for 100% of there kill and cant loot other drops ofcourse. no change to the ironman.
- Its like this we are already excluded from a lot of mini games but slayer is something that is a lot more fun to do with somone to talk to. your post said ironman stand alone @Mod Ash.? If that is true then my character would have his own world of runescape with noone to talk to or interact with. Its like saying the we are not allowed to cut trees with our friends ect....
I love my ultimate ironman more than my maxed main account i actually have only logged in on my main for about 3 hours in the past 2 weeks. This is a great update guys and i feel like everyone should get to enjoy it. Ironmen shouldnt get shunned and excluded because we took the choice to go on the hard path and take the game to a more challenging lvl? should we? hopefully you will read this and think this over again...This update will not break any ironmen rules it will just make slayer more fun for us

I'm currently ranked in the top 50 for Ultimate Ironman slayer, and would *LOVE* the ability to slayer with some of my fellow ironmen. The problem is, if another player does any damage to a slayer target, you only get half the experience. While I agree there should be some penalty, the amount of times I get assigned a slayer task in a multi-combat zone, only to find there's someone with a cannon there, is ridiculous. I once hopped through every single world just to find a non-cannon occupied world, with no avail! Ultimate Ironmen are already penalised enough!

@Mod Ash - While Ironmen 'stand alone' in the sense of trading with other players, they do not stand alone while interacting with NPC*! Ironmen share NPC stock with other ironmen and ultimate ironmen. Thanks to previous bug abusers, it's already been made much harder to deal with understock / overstock. Hopping worlds constantly just to try and buy something that's already in stock is annoying enough as it is. Don't ruin the fun for us ironmen by excluding us from yet another great game update unnecessarily!

Allowing us to share slayer tasks would not break any existing ironman restrictions -- only one player would receive the loot, and experience would still be halved. The only problem I can foresee is unfairly-powered gear setups from the second partner. To fix this, you could make it so that ironmen can only partner with other ironmen. This would allow for endless possibilities, and massively help to get ironmen more interested in slayer! :)
