To the people saying a new skill removes the "oldschoolness" and they should focus on removing bots...
Okay first, those who would design the skill are not the ones who have the knowledge to program antibot-programs. Other people from Jagex do that. The designers are content developers.
Second, I will definitely vote yes if the skill is implemented well. Games that aren´t updated will die, no matter how "oldschool" and nostalgic they are. Just look at RS classic. No updates, 100 players, 80% bots. The introduction of GWD however had a very positive effect both on high level pvm and pvp.
Also, no one forces you to train it. But the ones who wish to do so have fun and new goals in Runescape. In my opinion, voting no just because it wasn´t there in 2007 is selfish since you basically take away the fun others might have.
However, I do understand if you don´t want it to change the game. For example, adding new, (too) strong weapons or bringing to many items in the game would have a negative impact. And that´s why we poll it.
So, guys, please think for the future of the game we love and don´t be selfish. A new skill will definitely keep us playing and if done right, there will be no or few bad sides.
I am very open for good counter arguments, but please don´t just say
"OMG this will ruin the game I have no idea what the skill will be like but it just sucks and so does jagex because it wasn´t there in 2007".
