I'm really dissapointed some of the community is being negative about this potential update... It's sad that the Developers will probably not release this new skill without 75% positive votes... I reckon that it should be released whether or not the poll feedback is positive or negative. I'd be keen to give it a go, if it's not successful, it can always be taken out, better to try it before you cast it aside (y)

So you want them to add stuffs without polling?

Cool, let's start with mtx and eoc.
And we'll actually be able to get rid of splashing.

ok this is actually becoming sad to be honest. it seems every good update that would bring a new player base into this game is downvoted by the old nerds who have played for 12 years and want rs classic. if nothing new that is actually useful gets put into this game etc. graphics update. chaotics. better skills. where do you all think this game is going to be in 3 years? its already got a declining amount of players ffs we started with 50k online at a time? what happend ohh yeah i know! everyone voted no to the exciting content and only voted yes to stupid crap. i really cant tell how much longer this game has. but it cant be much longer. i mean say your a new player to runescape who starts off in oldschool. theres not even a way to make money without begging? nothing in the game has value ffs so we cant even get a new plaeyr base. if you dont already know how to play runescape you would never play this game ever. just look how outdated it looks. its pathetic. and how have we still not gotten a rest option after the game being released almost 3 years now? wtf jagex im actually about to just cancel all my subscriptions and move onto elderscrolls or wow or something. an actual successful game. but i will always have the memories when i actually could solo a gwd boss successfully or just have fun with the game. this game is more about politics its not about having fun with the game. the game isnt fun at all there is nothing to do but stare at outdated crappy ass graphics, and kill zulrah. i dont even know how these old geeks let zulrah pass to be honest this game honestly has no future its not going to last.
eventually the player base will be the 12k players who screwed it up for everyone who just wanted to play classic rs so downvoted every piece of equipmet that could of made teh game more fun. btw it was new skill in the game that made it possible for new players to make money. summoning-i used to kill wolfs for boens preoc for money great noob moneymaker. not poss

I don't think the first "new" oldschool skill should be so incredibly game-changing. come out with a more simple skill that doesn't release 50 new items and locations into the game all at once. and unless those new dragon weapons have a unique special attack with a decent effect they will be totally useless and very uncommonly traded.

I've been going back and forth trying to decide how to vote and I finally realized why I needed to vote no. First of all, sailing could potentially be great. Unfortunately, there isn't enough clarity and there's enough concern that I think it would be better not to have it in the game (as currently defined). Here's why I made this decision.

There's a lot of similarities between Dungeoneering and Sailing. That's not necessarily bad, I enjoyed Dungeoneering. However, there were a couple of things that Jagex did that I felt was entirely unfair with Dungeoneering and it looks like it is happening again with sailing.

First, Dungeoneering required a commitment. If I wanted to explore a larger dungeon solo I had to have a significant chunk of time available. Skills shouldn't be that way. I should be able to level the skill just as efficiently if I have 5 minutes or 5 hours available. All other skills work this way. If Jagex said that while on a long sailing adventure I can log out and pick up where I left off when I log back in then that would address this issue. With Dungeoneering you were punished if you had to log out and that's not right for a skill.

Second, I don't like Jagex pushing players to play the game the way they think it should be played. In the case of sailing, they're pushing people to play the mini-games (dungeons) if they want to level the skill. If you prefer passive, relaxed play you gain xp at a significantly slower rate. Why? Why are you forcing us to play the way you want us to play? It wasn't fair in Dungeoneering that groups could gain xp faster than solo adventurers. Some of us prefer playing solo. If you want to introduce mini-games that have these dynamics that's fine, but don't try to introduce skills this way.

Finally, I am not interested in another skill that is a money sink (like construction).

For those reasons, I decided to vote no. If those issues are addressed I will gladly vote yes!

Really interesting point. I agree with you actually. I do feel sailing would be 100% right for RS3 instead.

The fact that the minority, such a low percentage to boot, is going to get their way with a large content poll such as this is what spells disaster for OSRS. There is no reason for this to still be how things are done. I agree with polling, but letting the players that advocate no updates, the very thing that would see the game die, have their way over such a close vote is absolutely ridiculous. The majority of players should not be penalized in favor of the minority. It's just nonsensical. Punished the whole class for one student's behavior.

a quick question, are the resources you discover scaled to your current levels? Or are you going to find runite and adamant rocks all over the place while your mining level is 45 or something?

i have read your entire message and you are wrong at a few points, with dungeoneering you can level the skill equally fast on different floor sizes, i have gotten the same amount of exp for 1 medium dungeon as for 3small ones, 1 medium taking about 15 minutes and 3 smalls taking about 5 minutes each. I have solo'ed all the way to lvl 90 dungeoneering so i know what I'm talking about when it comes to solo DG. If you don't have that much time you can always complete some solo floors in a few minutes and time/exp rate is nearly the same for small/medium/large floors. Also what you said about groups kind of bothers me. You accuse jagex for making the skill unfair because groups could get faster exp than solo people. Guess what, in the dev blog and videos they mentioned that dungeoneering was intended to be a group skill. A skill that is better to train in groups. And jagex is not forcing you to play their way by making you go into mini game dungeons or whatever you were talking about. There are other ways to gain exp in sailing.

Jagex is not forcing any of us to play their way, they are the developers and if you don't like certain content, don't play that piece of content. No one is going to come to your room and force you to do sailing. The choice is always yours.
Stop crying and give skillers a nice start of the year with this new skill. There were enough new bosses that came out for you slayerscapers. Now there is finally a new skill coming out and everyone is crying because they can't kill and loot.
