Councils? No. Like others have said it will be a popularity contest and streamers already "run" this game by promoting poor behavior in the community, don't want them having anymore power.

New skill? Could be fun if done right but I think it should be more of a back burner type update done when you have nothing else to work on. Hoping that Apprentice skill mentioned in another thread gets fleshed out and wins.

Still hoping ZMI and Stealing Creation and a few other things get some attention but it doesn't seem likely with all of these huge updates taking priority, oh well :x RS3 Main: Queen Noob ; RS3 Ironman: Verrakai ; OSRS Main: Paksenarrion

Really hope the player-base gets behind the Uber Quest, it sounds absolutely amazing. Literally the perfect update for me, along with the clue scroll expansion.

As far as a new skill goes i'm not so sure about that. I think there are several existing skills that could do with some love before thinking about an entirely new one. Firemaking and construction i'm looking at you!

It's pretty clear the player council isn't sitting to well either, and i'd agree, doesn't really seem necessary.

The player council sounds like an extremely bad idea. At the very least it should be put into a poll.

1. It's completely unnecessary. The os mods have done a perfectly good job of attending to what the players want.
2. As others have mentioned, it will be a popularity contest. People who have no knowledge about the game could easily be voted to the council, which would be a bad thing.
3. A big problem - what if the people voted into this council care more about what they want than what the majority of osrs players want?

This sounds terrible to me. I'll do anything I can to make sure this player council doesn't happen.

Yeahhhh... Sounds like you guys are planning to really put some work in and I appreciate that type of effort but:

I don't think there needs to be a new skill for now. Unless it literally only gives experience in the new skill and unlocks like underwater areas without much reward or something. We don't need new items or better experience.

Also, please please please, really consider that there is a fairly large portion of the runescape community who would like updates to slow down. I am not saying ignore the majority and never update if the majority wants updates, I am just saying please at least hear the other players too.

Just slow down the updates a little bit. Runescape has so many enjoyable activities. I mean hell, I have played for 10 years, I plan on playing for much more than that, take your time releasing things. There is no rush. Runescape is not like a FPS game where a new version is required yearly.

Give the updates some time in between. Please consider the players who want it to slow down. We are not unreasonable. Consider us.

And once again, thanks for all your dedication to OSRS, mods.

Could you please enhance the gameplay window for osrs. I'm not asking for fullout resizeable windows with enhanced graphics yet i speak for many who have astigmatism due to the unbelievably crappy size of the fixed 07 window. all this content wasted for so many, another reason more and more quit and play other games either for (much needed) eye breaks or a more immersive gameplay experience. when in reality all they want is bigger screen. just a little bit bigger please

I really dislike the idea of a new skill.

Sorry, I just don't see the point.

I don't feel that there is any content in the form of a skill we can add that will actually be useful and worth the development time.
Most ideas such as Dungeoneering and Summoning similar skills are highly disliked and viewed as overpowered by many.

I'd rather we vote on the development of other content.

I agree, I would prefer no new skill for now. We already have had over 20 skills to train in just 1 year so far.

I wish we could think of some more unique content, rather than just 'skill, boss, minigame/activity', though this is a bit iffy due to game engine limitations.
