Looks nice but if this is the sort of skill in which you have to play for hours to make level you guys can give up. I don't know what loads of xp means but i hope you mean like 100-200k not 20-30k per hour like most of the other skills (which are mostly boring and nonprofitable). Hope by loads of xp you mean 100-200k per hour for not everyone has time to play like a maniac and do the same thing for hours and hours(no wonder there are so many bots). Some would like for skilling to be fun and fast.
Also i can see that GE is still here?! I never liked GE. I have to write the price for an item at least 5 times till i get it right which is very annoying when i want an item instantly. Can u make it so that you see the offers in front of you so that you actually know what price is the item?

What a waste of dev time.... fix all the broken stuff before adding more game changing content please.

And please god don't release more BIS items that would devalue gwd drops. I understand it would be a good idea to stop onyx's dropping further, but the easiest solution to that is to remove them from zulrah's drop table rather than making them degradeable with these silly necks/bracelets that sound way too OP for me (soulsplit v2????). I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT OSRS TO TURN INTO PRE-EOC, BUT CMON GUYS DON'T TAKE THE ESSENCE OF OLD SCHOOL OUT OF THE GAME.... TOO MANY CHANGES.....

Not a big fan. before any replies i would like to address i preffered the artisian skill development and i will support the staffs efforts to bring a new skill to life.

However i would like to say forcefully filling the holes isn't going to improve the game as in overall

NEW RANGE PRAYER is a NO NO by the way range is enought accurate and has a decent max hit as it is (I'm looking at you 99hp d bow specs) there is more pottential improvments in a skill if you don't buff the base damage (future new weapons maybe)

SHIPS remind me of construction in some form (ability to show off fancy ships potential money sink or from rewards from monsters) and more focus on a open sea gameplay then exploring "new lands" which take way more effort to develop and bring a higher botting and crash price risk

I imagined the skill when it was decribed early in its creation to be an open sea "instance" advanture for a group of people who can do specific activities with a specific ship with a specific level with all skills being required

EXAMPLE: 90 slayer : Dangerous routhe with the ability to fight krakens invade NPC ships with a high thiefing, agility, combat requirement.

^to adress some issues lvl 3 skillers have with the combat; for all i care there can be sub- roles which require only assistance on your own ship without the need of fighting enemies

Basicaly you can be a support role; this could apply even to a higher level.

ALL SKILLS SHOULD BE USEFULL ON SAILING making a total level more desireble in game.

#lazy scapers welcome.

REWARDS: none this is no a minigame the reward list posted by jagex seems fair enought as long as it dosent crush the economy or bring bots to power.

Well, the 'final' information available before the poll for sailing... falls (massively) short of information needed (and no, the 'well vote for it cause we'll poll everything else separately' simply doesn't suffice, IMO).

I'll be voting no. Not because I think the concept of sailing fails, but because you have already demonstrated that not only are you willing, but quite able.. to implement damaging content into the game and then simply ignore the pleas to 'fix it' (see NMZ if you doubt this statement).

You could have done something quite spectacular with it. I really believe that. But now that you'll be polling it (in the absence of a real discussion on it as well as the absence of any definitive plans for it) I see no option but a no vote. I don't want sailing 'in some form' because I don't like the 'form' NMZ took and the knowledge that things detrimental to this game go entirely ignored.

If you're too incompetent to use the GE, maybe the game would be better off without you voting.
