Ahhhh Artisan doesn't sound like a skill. Seems like a task system. Slayer sort of makes sense because you get more experienced regarding how to kill unusual creatures. If you're 99 wc, you should know all about wood.

Personally I don't think any of these ideas are worth the development time :x Geomancy looks alright though because it involves some archaeology. Can you post more suggestions?

Summoning would make a lot more sense to add in than any of these skills. It adds in more money making methods for the lower levels, it also adds in more use for slayer/combat. For people saying it would take too long to gather the supplies, isn't that what we wanted old school for? Because Rs3 was too fast paced xp gains?

I wanted to quote a thread I saw earlier but I can't find it now. Basically Artisans would just make an abundance of useless items that no one would be able to sell, it would make a huge gap in the market.

As I said right at the beginning, when a new skill was spoken about, we don't want or need any new skills added to Old School.
Having read everyone's comments on this thread, I think most people will vote NO to getting a new skill. That's how I will be voting anyway.

I voted Forestry.

I saw no interest in Artisan because its just another task system. I never liked slayer. I don't see anything new in this at all.

I
WOULD
like a new skill, but I want something new like
Sailing
. I don't want something that everyone already knows about, like Summoning or Dungeoneering.

And those of you complaining about how lame these ideas are, just try to understand how much work the people who came up with the idea put into it. Why don't you try to come up with something better?

I really believe this is a very unfair poll and needs to be re-polled and presented a entirely different way... I noticed the "winning" percentages are in the exact list of how they are presented on the forum for the players to read. That's not a coincidence... It's because these proposals are pretty lengthy. I believe the majority of players that have voted in this poll read thoroughly through the top maybe two. Following the small attention spans of many Runescape players (no offence fellas<3) may be causing the proposals at the bottom list to get a quick skim over ... at best. In my opinion Artisan is NOT creative for it just simply stole the Slayer task system which is obviously already implemented. It's CERTAINLY NOT original by any means what so ever... Honestly it shouldn't even be considered a skill. We need to figure out a more fair way to present these proposals and get a re-poll in action long before any final decisions are made on any of these skills. Guy's/Gal's if you agree don't just read and skim over this, make your self heard! Get involved in the politics "2007" Runescape has become...

I thought this game was called Oldschool RuneScape?

Why are we adding so much new content? This isn't the game I remember playing. I personally think we're going to far in depth with all these updates, and the game should be left as is. You all can complain about how the player base is dieing and what not, but we'll always still have a core group of players who want to play what was introduced. OLDSCHOOL.

If you don't like the game, there's a real simple solution. Don't play the game.

Instead of ruining it for everyone else and voting 'yes' for these updates that make Oldschool NOT Oldschool, perhaps go on to create a new game that appeal to all the children who weren't around the first time when you tried to pull updates like this and your game ended up dieing. Young and dumb.

I began playing this game again because it was Oldschool. What you're doing is going to upset just as many people as it makes it happy and you're going to end up losing more players than gaining new ones. Do you really think a new skill will appeal to players who don't play the game already? I don't understand the logic, I really really don't.

Why not instead of new content you fix current problems.
