I am alsooooo extreeeeemely Upset with the clear and obvious signs of an impeding rapid downward spiral that is going to occur if these updates continue being thought of for no reason and proposed for no reason... And than voted for No Reason except that it will bring "Excitement"

This is what happened back than, and history repeats itself as we are seeing right now its happening again right now omg omg ^_^

I Understand that most people are voting for these updates on so they should be released. I would agree except for one thing.

I know for sure that most of the people voting for these updates which keep being proposed - (for what reason I dont know) - are not the same people that I play with now and also played with than, back in 2007. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, WE REMEMBER RS LOSING THE RS FEEL... terrible feeling!

Since we went through it we can stop it, we know the signs, I am one of those people and this is a huge warning sign. RED FLAGS :(
The reason the main game died is because they did everything without the players consent. Every update to OSRS is polled, so "history won't repeat itself."

Just because something passes a poll doesn't mean it's for the better of the game. There is a big chunk of players here who don't even read dev blogs or details of poll questions, they just vote yes to mostly everything not considering the implications of the updates.

Also, Jagex is at least partly responsible for what is even polled, since they enable the questions to be decided on by the community. If something is OP or unbalances the game they should be responsible enough to not even poll it.

Not to mention, in cases like these, since the poll questions are vague and don't explain what the item is (without referring the voter to the forums for more details), they're misrepresenting the significance of the update. We're talking about the most powerful single handed melee weapon in the game being released, and the poll question doesn't even hint at that whatsoever.

I've done my research... EXTENSIVE RESEARCH


I've proved that in the many many postings I've made to attest this fact in recent polls. - Please check them out and give your support!


The reason that it is not true what you said, is that whenever you see a poll lose with something resembling 60% - 40% or 70 - 30% loss or anything at all for that matter... Whenever a majority vote is within reach of a rejection that regards a major changes to Oldschool Runescape the only reason it loses it because of Newer players who do not have the knowledge that I and many of you have regarding how quickly updates change and even ruin a game, and the memory that what I just said ALREADY HAPPENED in the past. That is why these updates are voted in. Inexperience. That's all.



- I'm really getting tired of arguing non - stop on these latest 2 polls, literally NON STOP :@ , with stupid noobs who shouldnt have voting power because they do not know what updates can do to RS because they did not play in the past like I/We did.

yet I truly don't feel that I have been wrong a single time in any of my suggestions in any of the 20+ posts I've made throughout yesterday and today. It's really annoying because I do know what is best for this game, I truly do. I've proven that, So go and read what I've said and if you still have questions or disbeliefs than do post about it.


I lold...

Ive played since pretty much the release and im down for any update pretty much...

To me, osrs isnt for the nostalgia-hungry players...Its for the players that couldnt stand where jagex took the main game...They released a combat system that was utter garbage and made players like my self quit...

I was perfectly fine with the way the game was heading until they released EoC.


To me, i know whats best for the game and ive voted yes to almost every update...Just because i have a different opinion then another player doesnt mean they dont know whats best.

Let me show you the front page of Old School RuneScape:

In February 2013, members voted to bring back an 'Old School' RuneScape service
for nostalgia-hungry players
.


Yes, this game was brought back for nostalgia hungry players. Before the server was released there were a significant amount of players (including myself) lobbying Jagex for an "RS Classic" version of RS2, in fact, most of the people wanted 2006Scape, not even 2007, but 2007 was the latest backup they had available.

Anyways, to many Old School players the game was long gone way before EoC. RuneScape from mid 2007 (GWD & GE) onwards had turned into a fundamentally different game than the RuneScape of 2004-2006. 2010-2012 was a completely different game, and for all intents and purposes may as well have been named Rs3 back then. For those who continued playing, EoC was simply the nail in the coffin. So while you may be perfectly fine with 2012 RS right before EoC, many veterans of the game, and the people who lobbied Jagex for OSRS in the first place would disagree.

Now i'm not saying that we should not have ANY updates whatsoever (although I certainly wouldn't mind that), I think we should avoid changes that significantly effect the Old School vibe of the game. One single change might not do that, but many over time will.

Nobody cares about your whining, go play runescape classic and leave us alone.
P.S. This tread is focusing on slayer drops ideas.

LOL @ these people... The only reason they released OSRS is because the main game was dying. Yeah people wanted it for a long time, but isn't it weird how they release it shortly after they lost 75% of their playerbase?

I don't play OSRS because of nostalgia. I play it because its the only GOOD MMORPG on the market to date.


Agreed! =) -> due to its freedom, since the trades aren't controlled by anything and, most importantly, due to its freedom in PVP, either in PVP worlds or wilderness, since you can pk anywhere with all the items you want and you can get all the items from the people you kill !
