Voting no to most all of the list. It seems to be just a laundry list of unimportant changes. I think it would be best to not change at all instead of just tweaking inconsequential and isolated facets of the game.
1) Skilling pets: Sucks for people who have 99. I don't like it when skills are updated like this. A person who goes from 1-99 will most probably get these pets, but someone who is already 99 WC will have to pour in 100+ hours just for the pet. If they had waited to get 99 AFTER this update, then they would have the pet already. Same with RS3's Aquarium.
The pet needs to be easier to get at 99 than 1-99.
2) "excluding those unlocked through quests." - why? If I complete the quests, can't the spell show it?
"Please note: We will soon be making a change that will prevent third-party clients from telling you the status of your farming patches remotely. The outcome of this question will not impact whether or not this change is made."
THANK GOD I hate how you are bending over for OSBuddy. It's like they get special treatment because they were in bed with Reach??
3) "Question: Should the smoke battlestaff provide a 10% increase in accuracy when used to cast spells from the normal spellbook?" - why does this staff get the buff but not Lava or Steam? They are ALL the same combo staff basically. I know you want to make the staff worth more but it needs to make lore sense.
If the pets are given by chances do people at 200,000,000 XP in the skills (such as Evil Oak) have to do the skills even though they're 200M to contain a pet?
Yeah exactly it is unfair to people who have already finished their WCing by getting 99/200m/etc before the update. Don't make players who have grinded 1000 hours of WC already have to grind 1000 more for the pet, when someone who is Level 1 WC can grind 1000 hours of WC AND get the pet at the same time.

skilling pets yes. not everywhere has to kill monsters just to get a pet. skillers should be given a chance to have pets to. ofc i want it to be like 1/100k drop rate just so you can go to 99 and have the pet, this would prevent people with lvl 10 skill to have it. but ofc that there are lucky people that would have it before 50 etc.
Looking forward to new pets, something different for people skilling to achieve.
Shame the Sailing skill isnt going to pass, but then its what we all expected, close but not quite.
I noticed that generally speaking 10% ish of those that voted no don't really know a lot about the possible content involved... my suggestion would be to add requirements to major polls like this, where the account needs to have viewed at least 3/5 forms of information provided before voting.
Not that I'm wanting to misuse this thread, just came to mind. Also, private chat edit looks good too! can't wait to get voting.

Pretty much a waste of time and resources.
.... That's what the "No" button is for laddy- you can use it when you don't want an update!

stop wanting to do updates that do not matter. you guys have to make updates to the runescape players really are waiting examples : dragon claws , turmoil , 2009 gameplay, revs , pvp armours , runescape hd 2009

I really don't know what to say to this.
The few 200m xp people in these four skills, in my opinion should automatically get them, as they have reached the cap already. 99 people shouldn't automatically get them at all, they have plenty of xp room to gain if they wish to go after the new pets!
