As my fellow clannies have expressed there is a definite need of additions to the PvP community and attributes, which the Dragon Claws would definitely contribute to in various ways, right now the PvP Worlds, and world 18 are slowly dying, it seems like they constantly decrease in population and the majority of players are using the void armours. On the point of overpoweredness, the dragon claws are easily neglected by a Phoenix Necklace, and you have more time to react to the incoming damage and eat for example. Where an AGS 1 tick for example leaves close to no room for reaction, dragon claws are a whole other story. On the subject of rushing, right now there are plenty of Barrage AGS rushers, or for lower combats there are barrage gmaul rushers. So the Dragon Claws will not have any influence on the amount, just the diversity of rushers, which again are easily reacted and/or neglected by a Phoenix necklace.
On the point of item dropping whilst in combat, it completely sucks out the fun of risk fighting and/or catching some off-guard player in the deeper levels of the wilderness, who can just simply drop it before the run out of food and teleport back to pick it up. There should be no reason whatsoever to drop items and/or cash whilst in combat with another player.
Last but not least I think it's great that the Old-School team is engaged with the player base and community but I don't think it's fair to Poll for example Dragon Claws or mainly PvP updates to the entirety of the community. When they majority of the PvP playerbase (85%+) think there needs to be certain updates and you give the option to vote to a player that has never been engaged in PvP except for being killed whilst doing a clue scroll they most likely will vote for no to PvP updates so it's not a representable to what the actual community wants.
