So many people saying "I voted no because:
* I don't want it to turn into rs3
* I don't want new, OP items
* I don't want faster training methods

If people actually read the dev. blog, they'd know that none of the reasons above are going to be a reality if they vote yes. A separate poll will be made for any major changes that will affect xp rates for other skills. And to those who say they want summoning or any other skill... yeah, it's def. not going to make it more like RS3 /facepalm.

Would it be possible to release a new poll where it's required for people to actually read the dev blog before voting? Possible a mini-quiz where people will have to read the whole dev blog to be able to answer the questions. Right now, there are too many people who just "assume" that the skill will be something entirely else than it is.

UNBELIEVABLE. PEOPLE READ THE DEV BLOG FIRST PLEASE.

Come to the realization that OLDSCHOOL is it's own game, and without changes being made, it's gonna blow.

TO THE
OLDSCHOOL TEAM


Please Re-Poll this and make some changes. Make it so the Dev blogs have to be read before voting. It is unfair that the majority of the poll is passing, but the kids who group up and get their buddies to vote no just to be trolls are just pathetic. REPOLL with tweaks made.

I played runescape during 2007, and it was an awesome time.

So let me say it AGAIN.



Part of the the experience at that time was being excited about the next new skill!

I want that feeling again. I want something NEW and be able to EXPLORE! I voted yes to sailing.


Since sailing probably won't pass, can we at least have a new landmass, new dungeons, and new creatures. It was fun when first starting runescape, having no idea what was coming, and suddenly having to defend yourself.

Sailing is more then just a skill, It's a platform for which players can reach new areas, new bosses, new everything. I really want this skill to happen and feel like as long as Jagex polls and makes sure the community is okay with it, it will come out as a very expansive skill with a lot of good implications. I still have my doubts though (Don't think I forgot about what you did to Ace of Spades Jagex :( ) but a lot of people are seeing it as a new skill and forgetting that it's really just a way of organically adding new areas and new content

I want to have my own ship and maybe even a fleet if ships.

Maybe Jagex can re-poll Sailing after clearing up some of the misconceptions some players seem to have for why they voted no.

Maybe less emphasis on new weapons which were not guaranteed as a part of Sailing but would have been polled separately.

And maybe make it clear voting no to sailing will not make it so Summoning or Dungeoneering would be added instead.

This poll makes me feel the polling system needs to be changed so the minority doesn't have the power to prevent updates the majority wants in the game. Hi.
