I just did a quick "ctrl + f" and on every page and searched for the word 'council.' I did not see a single optimistic post about the idea. The fact that you guys said yourselves that we will be picking the council positions makes it nothing more than a popularity contest like mentioned earlier.

I do not think this idea should be polled and I'd like to see it thrown out the window because the current system is working great and it really isn't necessary. Plus once the council is elected the "regular players" such as myself will have a smaller voice than when there was no council.

Finally, we will be launching a new initiative in June, the Player Council. You will have the opportunity to vote for players to fill council positions who will become responsible for representing the community in the area they have been elected to. We see this as a great step forward in building even stronger relationships with the community and giving you an even stronger voice.

This doesn't sound good to me. Who's the kind of person to be "elected" for these positions? Famous people from twitch? Seems like it's bound to just be a popularity contest more than anything.

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.

Yeah. I'm very much against a new skill. I can tolerate other updates (even if I don't like them), but a new skill is one of those things that just goes too far. I'm getting pretty annoyed that Jagex is still calling this Old School RS when they're basically going down the same path as the normal RS went just at an accelerated pace.

There's nothing really "old school" about this game anymore except the graphics and combat system.

This. Thank you, you spoke my mind. I'd like to see Oldschool stay Oldschool and I think a whole new skill will just completely drive away from that idea. Your (above) average zerker

No to the conical. As already said it will be nothing but a popularity contest.

As great as new skill sounds I much rather rework the old ones first. What benefits does firemaking give you? besides burning money.

Everything else looks great though.

Quick fixes and quality of life updates are fine. Game changers like new skills completely goes against what makes the game old school. The only thing old school I see about the game in a year is the terrible graphics. Other than that it's just a different version of pre-eoc runescape.
