it doesn't make sense to have a lvl 95 requirement for a boss. you said yourself that even if people don't like certain aspects of the game they shouldn't be restricted from doing trying new content.

Oh really then? Then why not just remove the entire Slayer skill?

Hypocrites like you make no sense. All it is, is senseless bias because you cannot be bothered to put in the effort. This is exactly the kind of bias that is poisoning our polls and WILL BE THE DEATH of Old School unless serious changes are initiated. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

84 for 3 BIS boots is a joke.
Catering to the NMZ prods.

A NMZ prod would have something like 50 Slayer and 72 at the very maximum I think.

84 is still a lot higher than that.

Oh, the best in slot mage and range boots currently don't require Slayer at all. Only dragon boots do, with 83 Slayer. Are you going to cry about that as well?

Please..

80 for rune boots
83 for dragon
84 for BIS

So after 1 slay lvl you get BIS? Tell me how this makes sense...

Nice 80 slay btw :p

So, the best in slot melee boots require 83 slayer and the new best in slot melee boots will require 84 slayer? That just seems silly. Regardless of that logic, the lower requirement is just disappointing. A level 95 slayer requirement was very exciting! People are probably complaining because they simply don't have that high of slayer. I myself am only 89, but I still thought the idea of another rewarding task after smoke devils to be appealing. It should at least be 90+!! A new task to look forward to between dark beasts and smoke devils, or after smoke devils would be exciting. As is, there are no new rewards from 93-99 slayer, which is pretty much the same amount of xp as 1-92...

You gain hardly anything having high slayer, i have 94 slayer and am so bored of having the same tasks (low level) everyone complaining about the slayer level being to high train it to earn it. you already have the Abby Demon boss set at 85, which is the lowest slay boss. Try rewarding people that have been working hard slaying please. P.S i shall also like a few other people have commented, vote no if the slayer level is lowered.

I'll be voting no as well if the slayer level is not at least 90+. It's too many great items for only 84 slayer, when just one slayer level above already gives you access to abby demons and the abyssal sire. I feel like many will be voting no with such a low slayer level, and I find this disappointing because the content (boss graphics, mechanics, and drops) are all so awesome.

It just doesn't make any sense to have 95

Oh and thanks, I play casually and not grind out stats when I don't like it. And your Slayer level has nothing to do with an arguement here.

You also technically don't get them, because they still require the other boots.

I have a few things to get off my mind:

1- Boss slayer:
Personally I think that this is being misplaced into the slayer-assignment-tree. Since bossing is something completely different than the Slayer-skill. Maybe there are better ways to add this to the game (like was done in RS3 with the grim reaper).

If it has to come into Slayer it seems more "Slayer-like" if lets says Duradel gives u a task to kill 13 General Graardors instead of "Kill x amount of random boss". This way players are forced to do content they aren't as familiar with. The way I see it play out at the moment is that people will camp Godwars/Zulrah for their assigment. So not many people will actually explore new things.

2- Cerberus:
Love the idea that this creature requires 95 slayer to kill, this will give a lot of people incentive to go get those higher levels (rather than mellow out at level 93).

Also like it that that you have to "upgrade" existing boots into their best-in-slot variant. However, I feel that this could go further. How it is at the moment: Dragon boots are BIS (for melee), so Rune boots are worth *pardon my French*: Jack ****. How I'd like to see this:
Start with Leather boots. Instead of letting Cave crawlers drop Bronze boots, let them drop something like "Boots upgrade kit (bronze)". This will require people to collect the lower-tier boots in order to upgrade. So if u want Dragon boots u will need: Leather boots (to start off), and then you will need to add every upgrade kit up to Dragon-tier.

If this was to be added to the game you still need all of the "lower" level slayer monster drops in the boots slot (for example gargoyles - adamant boots, and nechs - rune boots). This will result in a steadier income whilst slaying.

When used the boots can't be dismantled. So you can't downgrade Dragon boots into Rune if you would require them for an Elite clue scroll.

Jagex could simply convert all existing boots into upgrade kits, no real harm done there.

Before Rangers there was nothing that gave any range att bonus for the foot slot.

For magic first there were Wizard boots which you got from lvl 2 clues and after that came mystic boots which you got from low level slayer. And after that came the Magic Training Arena which had a lot runes requirements and a pretty decent magic level for the time. The minigame is also extremely time consuming and grindy.

Slayer wasnt even in the game when Rangers were the BIS for ranged. And they have been ever since.
