I read a reply to I believe this forum a while back, and it had to do with sailing being able to bring you to something like "new lands". The more i sit and think about it, the more i love the idea of traveling to new lands where things may could be different, like the economy, different weapons, armor, ect.

i will vote no on every poll now until they bring sailing, since im sure a lot of no votes came from bots with 100 accounts, people from EoC, and selfish lazy people who couldnt be bothered to read dev blogs. If selfish is how you all want to be, I can join in too. Or maybe Jagex can man up and just do updates without any polling like they used to, since polling system is easily flawed and rigged.
I'm so bumped it didn't pass. At first I was like sailing seems kind of lame, but after reading the developers blog I thought it was pretty cool. Why say no to new content
