Please lower the % of votes to pass this poll... Don't allow 26% of narrow-minded people ruin this for us!!!! If this doesn't pass I'll probably quit. People who don't want to go for a MAX CAPE actually need new content....

Let's not.

And we will get other content.

Not looking forward to it... Like a lot of people already said: it sounds much more like a minigame.
I agree with the adventure/exploring side, but not being brought by a totally new skill. Since it would imply several existing skills for its completition (smith, cons, craft like you said and some more IMO), it shouldn't be a skill by itself, but more a minigame.

I also agree with the fact that a **MINIGAME** based on the dungeoneering skill (excluding the overpowered gear rewards) already receives MUCH MORE positive feedback from the community.

Other things I've read in the community's answers that I agree with
-sounds way too repetitive
-always been treated as a joke (in a negative way, so why would it even be thought of?)

I have read quite a few times that Lady Lumbridge would do a good first boat..
Wow I really hope that you will not do this huge hit to the small, but important amount of pures that actually like skilling/completition too.. If it passes with my 'no' I really hope it will be available for pures too. Would be another hit in the face to those who decided not to level their defence, but do other things along with PKing..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's a funny joke XD
But getting a bit old since you already used it for one of the april's fools.
Sailing would be literally the most stupid idea JaGex has had after EoC lol. I would love to see it polled.

Idk why so many narrow minded people think adding RS3 content to 07RS is a better option. The whole point of 07RS is to be DIFFERENT. Sailing, like the blog says has potential, much more so than carbon-copying Dung, or Summoning. Give it a chance.

I don't feel that it should b a pvp skill. I feel it should be the individual's choice. If you want to pvp then it should be only in the pvp worlds not in all worlds. We do have the right to choose that way and it will be more enjoyable for everyone.

Honestly people need to PLEASE read the Developer Blog. If you took the time to read it it says that PvP is OPTIONAL. This has been repeated OVER AND OVER AGAIN by so many people. It just goes to show that a lot of the people who are so against this skill didn't even bother to read what Jagex's plans for the skill was. They just see "Sailing" and automatically go "NO NO NO DUNGEONEERING AND SUMMONING PLZ NO SAILING"

Posts like this are why I feel Jagex shouldn't even poll Sailing, the vast majority of negative responses are straight up factually incorrect.

It literally says right in the dev blog that PvP will only be on the edges of the skill, and Jagex has confirmed on twitter that PvP will be entirely optional with no plans to gate content behind it.

Even if this weren't the case, Jagex is going to be polling everything juuuust like they always do.

Are you kidding me? Not only is this a stupid idea in my mind its a waste of time. We need to focus on the game that worked and not turn this beautiful throwback into a new EOC.

I'm fine with new content and bosses, i love the idea of the rooftop agility courses but this is crazy. I hope everyone can agree no new skills.

It might not waste any time for other updates now but it definitely will in the future. Adding staff is great and it probably should have been done when they saw how much support OldSchool had but not for this god forsaken ludicrous new idea for a skill.

PLEASEE***************EEE DONT VOTE FOR THIS. I will quit with a lot of others I am sure.

Edit: I did read the Dev Blog and it didn't offer much of a incentive. I don't like any of the ideas presented EXCEPT for the idea of having your own boat JUST to travel from port to port.
