You clearly have no idea what the community wants, as a vast majority want progression and a new skill...enough to pass it? We won't know until poll day...But hate to break it to you, but 2007scape is long gone and went away along time ago. The game wasn't brought back to stay with no updates. It was to bring back the old feeling/graphics/mechanics that we loved back in to 2007 and progress it in to a new direction and that is what is going to happen whether you like it or not. Not to be rude, but that is just the reality of how games work.

You're daft if you believe what you type. People play the game for nostalgia, not to "see how the game will progress". How do you even muscle that kind of mentality?

Look around you and you will see where my 'mentality' comes from. Sorry for speaking the truth but 2007scape died a long time ago. People want progression....evidence?

Bossing Slaying.
Slayer Bosses.
Nightmare Zone.
Passing of Zeah.
Wilderness Rejuvination.
Pets.
God Wars Dungeon.
Zulrah.
Possibly Sailing.

The only one of those that are from the true 2007scape is God Wars Dungeon.
Obviously people want new stuff. Move along to a private server.

Everything looks good except for the fact that it is possible to get the maximum (or rather large) amount of xp from building a ship and collecting xp like farming. The majority of the experience should come from actual experience in the skill. People will just treat it as another farming type construction skill and it will become monotonous rather than enjoyable.

Uhm these ideas are alright. But the way construct ships sounds dumb.
We build ships to get sailing xp. It should be connected with construction...
Otherways, making the ship sounds alright .
But i don't know about return the boat to check the status of it and achive experience.
That just sounds weird.
The navigation looks simple and good.
Exploring sounds really fun.

I was thinking if we could like make some parts with fletchin ex. the mast.
Same if we need sails it should be a part of crafting skill.
The ships isn't made just from tree.
And it needs alot of important deatails like a keel.
and that need some kind of heavy material like stone or lead.
I atleast want some of these things to be included.

Sailing xp for ship building. I don't fall for that

And if they want everyone to vote yes. They cant rush the ideas.
This can be good in so many ways they just have to make it complete.
They should try to make all ideas wide and keep the reality of sailing.

I would love to vote yes but I also want this to be a really good skill.
So just improve their ideas and -=Excellent=- I'm playing osrs for fun. I want more stuff made that helps improve the quality of the game.
-Don't forget all problemes can be solved but it will always come new ones.

It's not often I chime in here but so far, I'm really liking the direction this is taking. Still needs some work, but I could see this being very good for the game in the long run.

One of the things I feel needs to be taken care of from the start is that this skill is going to generate a lot of market transactions, and unless more resources are getting put into this skill than there are coming out of it there's going be a problem with inflation. Now, I don't want it to ENTIRELY be a GP sink, but having another use for the infinite amount of Maple Logs in existence couldn't hurt. How many logs is this going to take out of the market and is there enough of a supply

There's also a couple of other ports the players should be able to travel to that aren't listed that I can't recall the names of, is this intentional?

In order to dive down, must one have that part of RFD completed?

What sort of power creep is this going to bring into the game? With new monsters, depending on their HP/Defence stats it could become the new best thing to do in terms of exp rate, which isn't so much a bad thing if it requires a very high level, but for the most part I'm pretty sure the community does not not want new highest EXP rates. That goes for resources too, like Fishing EXP per hour if Rocktails come into the game.
What needs to be looked into in regards to this is seeing what niches haven't been filled or aren't as balanced as other methods in the game and use this new skill to supplement that instead of just bringing in the new best thing into the game.

SIDENOTE and not entirely related, but Javelins, Warhammers and Firemaking all have almost no use. Could we please see some sort of use for the Javelins at least with Sailing?

Uhhhh, I think that's about it for right now. Otherwise the last thing I have to say is we need side-grades not upgrades! Power Creep is what ruined RS in the first place (if you don't count bots/rwt/gold farmers)!

Exactly! If the community didn't want progression the polls would keep failing and there would be no progression. They forget that all the power is in the players hands. They're just trying to rationalize the fact that the game should be based on what they want alone and nothing else.

I don't mind people voting no to an update. I have no problem with that. What is annoying, is there ill-thought of reasoning behind it....

They all shout "Mini-game" when they don't know the difference between a mini-game and a skill.

They all shout out "It will become EoC/RS3" which is a stupid comment in itself.
