Hmm, Looking forward to the goblin raids, didn't get around to doing them last year.

Bit iffy on the player council but we'll just have to see how it goes.

and yay clan wars :D

What's wrong with that? Lol... Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

The Player Council is a great idea, and I hope that those selected are those who care about the health and integrity of the game as a whole. Those who are interested in forwarding a specific, harmful agenda (eg. Wanting updates they know are harmful, but make it more convenient such as GE, or making the game more "fun" by adding Dragon Claws) need to be excluded. Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.

My thoughts for the new skill

Sailing - seriously

- Merged with explorable new dungeons with groups of friends

- New resources

- Bunch of islands with new monsters and maybe new farming patches

- Exotic items

- Pirate themed

I like the sailing idea.

Some other ideas for the skill:

- Pvp where you can have ship battles where you have to man your ship kind of like the ship battle from Cabin Fever but more advanced.

- Transportation around Runescape

- New ways to train other skills such as deep sea fishing as an example (these wouldn't be better exp than current methods, just new ways to train, I'm against increasing exp rates in current skills)

- Give other skills more uses that are tied in with sailing especially less useful skills such as firemaking. An example could be you need 80 firemaking to create a light on your ship that would allow you to get through a certain low visibility area in the sea to get to a new island.

Wild Rejuvenation - Nice idea, but mostly DOA content. Resource area gives little incentive compared to skilling outside of the wild, literally nobody is ever in there. You let the drop chin question be voted on even though it shouldn't have been so obviously skillers wont let it pass, Boss drops are mediocre, activity died after the first 2 weeks. People gave Mat K pages of actual good ideas on his Zybz thread and he took very few
What do you mean by DOA content? I do agree that a lot of the wildy content has quickly become obsolete. Here is how I'd improve it:

- Ecumenical keys drop rate significantly increased
- Black chins CANNOT be dropped/released while in the wilderness
- Lava dragons need their defense bonus lowered by a significant amount
- Wilderness bosses need much better rewards and they need unique rewards specific to each boss
- Ankous should have better drops
- Ents need to give better xp
- Elder druids need to drop more runes (especially combination runes)
- Mammoths need to be made weaker and given better drops
- Resource area needs to give 50% more xp

The player council seems like a good idea in theory, but I think most of us understand that this is basically just favouritism and letting a few elite players (you guys would probably suggest to us that E-Famers/YouTubers should be on this council) control what suggestions you listen to.

The system is fine as it is, what's the problem? All you have to do is play the game on your personal account, or view the forums. You will see how typical players of the community play yourselves.

Player Council is a bad idea. It'll just consist of 'first-page streamers' who aren't the best folks to represent the game in terms of the integrity of gameplay. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.
