While i generally agree with most of the idea's the osrs j mods have...

I'm just blown away by how stupid a player council sounds, one players voice should not count for more than one player's voice, even if those players are 'voted for' ( based on what info ? )

If you absolutely must make such a council, at least have the decency to pick players on general knowledge, activity, attitude, sense of direction where the game should be headed.

Surely you don't suggest letting popularity be the judging factor here?

Edit: Let us vote on whether or not we should have such a council to begin with, please.

A mixed bag for me. I'm looking forward to bank tabs, a real necessity for me, I also look forward to the clue update as well. The new quest with 50% added landmass sounds extreme, I certainly wasn't expecting an update of this magnitude, I'll have to learn more of it before making a judgement.

As for the new skill, I don't think its needed at this stage. Many people still have skills at low levels, I think we're fine for now.

I don't have much faith in how people vote in RS, which is why I'm also unsure about player councils.

Okay, I don't post in the forums very often but I've had just about enough.

I am an 11 year veteran of RuneScape. I am 2424 total level in RuneScape 3, and 1449 in Old School RuneScape. I quit RuneScape 3 for a reason. I play OLD SCHOOL for a reason. I hate your new updates. Old School was perfect upon release aside from a few technical errors that you have done great with. PLEASE for the love of the veterans of RS can you stop making new content for Old School? Increasing the map by 50%? A new skill? New quests? Ridiculously good mining exp that you can AFK with this new mining update? Skill updates in general? Nightmare zone with ridiculously afk/good melee exp? With all this new content, and more to come, I'm bound to quit RuneScape for good. I don't want the game to be easy like RuneScape 3. I'm nearly 95 strength and I've barely even looked at my screen. Come on guys, lets smarten up a bit.

You must realize that a good portion of the community are new players. For whatever reason they joined Old School, and they're expecting content updates, and you know what I have to say to those people? GO PLAY RUNESCAPE 3.

You do realize that the majority of players currently playing OSRS are considered Veterans too?

Nothing gets put into game without 75% of the community wanting it. I am sorry you do not fall into that portion but this game honestly NEEDS content to survive. Instead of making us go play a broken game (RS3), how about you deal with the updates or go play elsewhere? You are the minority. Sorry.

No player council, terrible idea. As someone stated earlier, it will be a popularity contest.

I also don't want any new skills, unless they so happen to fix the dead skills in the game. 99 smithing lets you smith 40 def rune armor and you are supposedly a master. Very few train firemaking past 50 because they only train it for desert treasure. Construction has little to none high level incentives (I'm sure my thread provides enough incentives to motivate more players to train construction).

I'm indifferent to BH, but if it brings players in the game or makes it more fun for them, I'll vote for it.

I'm so glad a new quest is finally coming. Have you already decided which questlines to end? If not, I HIGHLY suggest ending the Temple knight questline. Salt in the wound was the absolute worst way to end a quest series which had so much potential. I was also hoping for a decent reward like acolyte armor (next rank armor for white knights) for completing salt in the wound but no. Kind odd ironic thet chose that name for the quest. I know Ash is great at making quests so im relieved he will be ending multiple questlines at once. This is your chance to end that questline how it should have been finished.

Also, please release acolyte armor if you do decide on ending the Temple knight series and give it +1 prayer on each piece.

Then release partisan armor (Best white knight rank armor) with completing Falador achievement diaries with rune defence bonuses. There should also be white knight ranger and mage armor.
Just a suggestion if you do decide on Temple Knight series.
