When I started playing Old School RS I was under the impression that WE the players, will have the power to decide what happens in the game. The game is not a democracy due to this update, it is a dictatorship. If we were allowed to vote against this backup plan, I am 100% sure we would have. I know for a fact you can repeat past events if you really really wanted to. You will now lose many players once again. Just like in the past when you messed up, you have once again done it. I guess history repeats itself. Say bye to many players who loved this game.

The big deal is people always liked the fact that there were discontinued items in the game. It gave them a goal to strive for. Every item in the game will, at one point, become saturated and everyone will have it. Rares were one of the reasons that kept people playing and striving for a goal. By removing this aspect of the game, the game loses it's uniqueness and will also lose it's actual old school players.

Good fight, while it lasted.

Sorry to break this to you, but you (and the community) WERE able to vote against it: by coming together in some agreement over the other 52 options (or the poll before that).

Perhaps you should blame all the spoilt little children who voted no to everything out of spite?
Just curious, how did you cast your votes on the 52 options given ..... ?

Many people have already stated the fact, i will once again repeat it, if rares are not discontinued they are worthless.

- they were a core part of Runescape in 2007 as-well as today in EOC.
- they were the only difficult thing to obtain in all of Runescape

Without rares being discontinued the game loses a major component....

those of you saying they are bad for the game and the economy have yet to state 1 reason how they hurt the economy, they were the only goal for those who owned everything already...

without them AS DISCONTINUED 07scape will be hurt severely.

I am completely and utterly outrages by this. Rares should be distributed once and thats it for the rest of history. It's not rare if you see someone with a partyhat and think, i don't have to work for that, i can just wait till christmas. It will ruin the prices and peoples view of rares as well, which will completely take away the feeling of oldschool. I am actually becoming discouraged to play runescape hearing that the rares will be available every year. It goes completely against the concept of rares and I think i speak for everyone when i say this is a terrible idea and nobody approves of it but you jagex mods.



NO, I don't think you speak for 'everyone'. Not at all.

You're wrong when you say 'nobody approves of it but you jagex mods' because my name is Tyria Mine, not 'nobody'.

You can cry til the cows come home.. it doesn't change the fact that this one's on the players, not on jagex.

It's the players who didn't support what you wanted. Head on in game, and feel free to take it up with them.

Yes.
They return to being the fun, ''worthless'' cosmetic item they were always intended to be when they were first dumped into the game.

If they were truly that important to you, then you were obviously missing out on a heck of a lot of other things this game has to offer.

So... when you getting that Adv Log pic taken with your full set of 3rd age gear?
Oh, i see ....... ;)
(
edit: yes yes, I know you cant get a pic in OSRS, it was a rhetorical question and the point remains obvious and valid...
)

Then perhaps you need to go back through the forums, but this time with your eyes, and more importantly, you mind, open.
All been said before, but I get the feeling you don't acknowledge it

07scape will be hurt severely.

Sorry bud, but anyone ''quitting'' over these holiday items will not be missed.
In fact, I would probably go so far as say they were wanting an excuse to quit anyway (boredom, nostalgia worn off, etc), and this has given them one.

I agreed with you to the fullest, I've been playing Runescape when Tailoring was a skill in The first release of RUNESCAPE, Not Runescape 2, And DEFINITLY NOT EOC. I came back to the game purely for 07Scape.


On that NOTE:

- I was told the game would be exactly the same as 2007, The bots even did a better job with the "promise" lol.
- I worked hard back then and NEVER got a rare, It was a dream, it was that simple....A DREAM. It was something to work HARD for. for those that play the game to get rich is dumb, but that was an accomplishment when you had all the stats you WANTED.
- RARE:
rare
/re(&#601 ;) r/
Adjective
(of an event, situation, or condition) Not occurring very often.
(of meat, esp. beef) Lightly cooked, so that the inside is still red.
Synonyms
uncommon - unusual - scarce - infrequent - sparse


Unless a partyhat is a piece of perfectly good steak, I'm sure "not occuring very often" isn't ANNUALLY. :) The Title does says "Implenting the RARES" Not the Annually Spawned items ye?


God I wish Jagex didn't do this, I quit as soon as overpowered weapons came out, since it wasn't RUNESCAPE anymore, Same with this EOC non-sense, Are we willing trying to play World Of Warcraft? Then just play that.....
