I like Motherlode Mine the most, but 5% bonus is far too high. Make it 2.5% like Lumberjack.

exactly what this guy said lol. theres no reason to make things unbalance and not just talking about being unbalanced but actually massive increasing xp rates. if the mining outfit were to come into the game it needsd to be balanced on the other outfits that exist..

Also just because someones suggested it be 5% doesnt mean thats whats happening.. As always the rebalancing the the xp rates are something jagex is incharge of and not someone who suggests the rates of hrly xp even if it is the creater it is not upto him. i really am afraid of what some of these updates will do especially the mining one first to know the xp and 2ndly if they bring a 5% boost outfit.. because going by mining 5% is actually a massive increase if you were to add an outfit say to another skill.. Not really...

I max at 50k xp/hr power mining granite at level 86. 5% of 50k is 2500xp, meaning I'll be getting 2500 extra xp/hr. I can get 2500xp in like 3 minutes with granite. If i mined granite to 99 at a constant 50k xp/hr, from my current level, it would take 188 hours. With the suit, it would take about 179.

uhh.. ya thats why i said mining it will take a big hit.. not on any other skill that really is a lot if your talking about mining if you've ever gone for an actual whole lot xp in a day. 2.5k extra is massive in the case of the skill of mining. 4hrs can add upto 10k, 5hrs 12,500, 10hrs 25k boost.. over time its freakin insane and a 5% is just abit to much.. if they were to release extra dumb clothes boosting items it needs to be balanced to those already in game so it would need to be a 2.5% boost just like the woodcutting clothes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the point of bringing back OSRS to prevent things like this from happening? The point of old school runescape was to get rid of all of the updates in recent years and take it back to the 2007 days and keep it that way? I don't believe we need updates. The whole point of this OSRS game was to keep it simple and how it was 7 years ago, not to start up again with the updates; soon enough we will be right back into HD and ridiculous amounts of updates and their will be two parallel games, Runescape 2 and Runescape 3: equally updated but with different skills, items, and quests. It just seems counterproductive to me. :|

Implementing Oldschool updates like Rooftop Agility courses doesn't hurt the game.

Not yet, it hasn't. But it will become a Domino Effect. Changes always lead to other changes because everything in RS is connected somehow. Updates will lead to more updates and sure, now it hasn't affected anything much but within a year this game will look like Runescape in 2009/10, HD graphics aside

Agreed. Some updates have been great and seem to fit right into Oldschool e.g Zammy Hasta, Rooftop Agility. Others have been a monumental mess e.g Nightmare Zone.

rooftops give infinite run energy, crashed the super energy market a bit, and are totally op for lv 3 skillers.. also i can now afk on agility. So ive just proved my point that it did cause more harm then good and it has no place in this game.

it actually did have lotssss of ppl hate towards the update, i will agree its not as bad as the nmz but it just doesnt have a place and does effect the atmosphere in general on old school.. It also made botting go up greatly on agility making it worse on the game.

Those are reasons why skilling updates are not the most looked forward to updates on old school infact people encourage others usually to try not to vote yes to them because they dont want to ruin it more for the people who actually do play to skill..

Do you even know what you are talking about? It would only save me 9 hours to 99 from my current level, which is nothing. Just hiscored you and found you have 93 mining. Pretty ignorant for someone with that much time invested. 2500 extra xp/hr and you act like its the Living rock caverns all over again.

Also to your post about rooftop agility above, please explain to me how you can AFK agility when the rooftop agility requires just as much clicking as any other course?
