I'm not interested in this at all... I was actually questioning whether this was a serious poll or not I even had to look at the date to make sure it wasn't 1st of April....

I do not want a new skill to be added nor do I want sailing, I think that this is one of the worst ideas that the developers ever came with, I am just being brutally honest about how I feel and think.

Though this is just my opinion and does not reflect the rest of the community's opinion.

I think it's a waste of development time, I'd rather see a quest similar to while guthix sleeps.

I think it's too early for a new skill to be honest. Nevertheless, I'm sceptical about the whole sailing skill. I think it should atleast be accessible for all type of accounts (e.g. 1 defense pure should be able to unlock all or almost all content), while maintaing a lot of other skills to be involved. If the new skill would just be straight out sailing I wouldn't be to excited about it.

I can see that there are a lot of ppl hating on this idea, so imo you guys should poll it as a minigame and as a skill and see what ppl would vote.
I would like to see it as a minigame, i think it would be cool.

This is the problem with Jagex. Lets waste hundreds of man hours and thousands of dollars developing this content so it can be immediately shot down in a poll. Why don't you just have a poll first with something along the lines of:
Would you be interested in a new skill?
if so should it have features like x y and z?

They are planning to release this early next year its likely already being developed. It feels like such a waste of the limited resources Jagex has to even do these things without consulting the community before the investment is made*
**;dr wtf is this...

To be honest, I'm excited for this.

It's just sad how people's minds are nowadays.. From what I read, what everyone wants is for 2007scape to not have more updates because they want to play it like it was in 2007 and nothing else.

That's not the right thought - there would be no excitement in the game, nothing would be brand new, you alredy knew the game upside down, where's the fun in that? Nothing new to explore, nothing new to train, I don't see any fun in that..

I'm glad that the OSRS mod team is coming up with these amazing ideas, when OSRS came out , I didn't expect that the game would live long because there would be no updates, but I was very wrong.. They invested alot in this and I am enjoying every bit of it, I hope they continue.

It's kinda obvious that this will not pass if it's polled because most people don't know what is better for the game.. When you vote NO on this, you are denying new content to the game that you never even experienced to be giving an opinion on. This one shouldn't even be polled, they should just work on it and release it. Then after one or two months of being implemented in the game, make a poll asking the players their opinion on the skill itself (not asking to remove it of course).

Just open your eyes people**** cannot be only about XP and gainz. Did you start playing runescape because you only wanted to grind on all the skills and not do quests, explore land and kill new bosses? Of course not.

Don't get me wrong, the poll system is what runescape needed for a long time.. But this kind of situations shouldn't even be polled.

Apart from that, I would love that in order to travel/discover Zeah you would require a fairly high sailing level. I can't wait for both the continent and the skill! Good job right there.

I just hope this goes into the game.
