SAILING SOUNDS INTERESTING HOWEVER.......

If you say Summoning has the potential to unbalance the game and so does Dunge......id have to agree with you IN ITS CURRENT FORM. Thats what Old School is about is creating and tailoring content by the users on the game to get something that is unique to OSRS. So for instance if having chaotic weapons that are over powered is a bad thing why not make them less powerful or have differernt rewards all together? If summoning a pack yak is too OP why not reduce the number of spaces or have an altogether different summoning creature. The power is in the communities hands not Jagex's so why not satisfy the players and put up a dev blog for a skill that offers some of the things that Dunge and Summ offered that players are looking for. So you say players want new content on OSRS not RS3 content I agree........so lets call the new skill ...........well anything you want to call it........and train it well........any way the community wants to train it and......get rewards that well.........the community wants from it. Im really tired of the mind set of well those guys want summoning but its too unbalanced for the game so no to summoning when in fact I am sure that we can come to a common ground and balance the skill ourselves and call it whatever we want and such not copy but make it our own,

I think if sailing is released you should be able to travel to different islands that have never been seen kind of like dungeoneering and have it where it's comepletely randomized each and every sail you embark on. I feel as if you should give us more detail on the skill like will there new items released that you can obtain from sailing to new islands and such? kind of like new food, new herbs, new potions, new armour, new weapons, new monsters that drop new bones..new trees..new creatures to hunt! Until I see something like this in the future dev blog, my vote will remain as no.

If you want this new Sailing skill to pass you must open beta server to test it out or constantly stream out how the skill works, because we have no idea how this will turn out in the long run and could be another boring skill like Runecrafting for example.

Since alot of people love Summoning and Dungeoneering, maybe merge the Sailing skill into 3 multi-formed skill where you can access dungeons through sailing and hunt down new creatures and serve you as beast of burden.

Considering the conditions of skill atm: my vote is no

Could always scrap Sailing and introduce a Taming Skill which would unlock the feature of owning your own horse/camel/lion/dragons....many more (lol imagine level 1 is taming chickens) creatures you could Tame to assist you on your adventures. Would open the possibility of each new tier can give you the option to store items in your tamed creature. Would solve the issue of people wanting summoning so bad and also give a whole new skill that people would enjoy. Imagine storming the wilderness with your clan riding on your own tamed beasts, or going in for battle at bosses having your tamed creature assist you in battle. Also would help with slayer tasks. You could always introduce sailing but not as a skill, but as a quest you must complete to unlock the ability but just make it a crafting update to build your own vessels. Give feedback on my ideas :)

What are you talking about, runecrafting is the most enjoyable skill in the game.

If the skill is anything like summoning and dungeoneering im voting no. playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

If it was called Exploring, that would be cool, ride horses cute idea, levitate a plane above the other players with zoom it would be nice. Incorporate whatever else you planned to maybe include your boat exploring and underground some ideas but as others said it should not be as dramatic as dungeoning and should be able to runescape with or without it of course some benefits. Much more balancing needed in current osrs and needs to remain the same for years to come in other aspects and major updates..

I think Old School should possibly (maybe) start a policy where anyone that voted NO to an update is blocked from using that update if the poll passes.

People voting no or planning to vote no to sailing should be blocked from doing it. If this was a policy, they would seriously think twice before voting no to this update (but also for other updates). The current mentality is:
its not perfectly how i want it in every way. I am going to vote no and throw my toys out of the pram so the update does not pass.


One of my friends actually voted no to the first poll "should we add a Left click Bank option instead of having to right click the bank and click Use Quickly". He voted no! Yet when it came out, he used it! Unbeleivable.

The possibility of being deprived from fresh new exciting content should change the mentality from:
- "negative nancy critiscizing everything and always voting NO" (blocking updates from passing)
to
- "not sure about this idea, but i think i may enjoy it and i want to do it"
Lol I agree with this.
