Keep dragon items as drops from monsters or quest reward shops, don't add them to raids. Mainly because it's been possible to get all Dragon items from soloing and this would completely ruin that, as raids require at least 5 people to participate.

Either remove the 5 people minimum for raids or leave Dragon items out of raids. I've been soloing every monster that drops a Dragon item since I originally started playing during the days of RS2 (I got them all until the SoF update when I originally quit the game) and I'm only missing 2 on this (helm and 2h sword).

Besides, there are better ways to introduce the Dragon Platebody, 1 being making 3 monsters drop 1/3 of the plate (each monster drop a different piece) and combining those to the Dragon Chainbody to bring some value back to it. Not only would the Platebody be released, it would require people to remove Chainbodies from the game, making things like the KQ not completely worthless to do aside from the KQ Head for the diary.

Thrown axes could just be a common/uncommon drop from Dragons or some demi-boss and the short sword could've just been released with MM2 or from Skotizo.

I'm fine with the BiS mage robes coming from raids (they need something to make them worthwhile), but instead of putting Dragon items in them, add a one handed staff that can auto-cast Saradomin Strike since, if I remember correctly, that's the only god spell that requires a 2 handed staff to auto-cast (Flames of Zamorak requires Staff of the Dead, Claws of Guthix requires Void Mace and Saradomin Strike requires Ahrim's Staff). Hell, you could even add a reward that shows you how to make a bow from Redwood that could be used to shoot Dragon Arrows at a decent speed with the same special as Magic Short/Longbow to not devalue the Dark Bow.

"Kabe insignia - Defence" + bonus?

The Kabe insignia should give +5 in all defences and allow the player to regenerate health faster when out of combat. (A bit like the "Risutoa insignia" but i'm sure you can come up with a reasonable health regen speed) Stay

I don't like the idea of dragon equipment as rewards for a minigame. These have always come as rare drops from monsters or as quest rewards (dragon long/scimitar), and I think it should stay that way. Kodai robes and the new prayers look fine to me... not so sure about the insignia's though. Might skip that question if it even makes it to the poll.

Dear Jagex,

You and I and the rest of community all know that OSRS is what is keeping you alive financially and reputably. Also I would like to take this opportunity to explain to the simple minded people that think when they go on the RS3 main webpage that the "Players online" is a count of the COMBINATION of OSRS and RS3 players, not just RS3 players; if you do a little simple math and divide that number by two and compare it to the osrs webpage player count, you will always find that osrs has more players online, for obvious reasons, which of course, the development team at RS3 will never admit to but hey who's judging.

You and I both agree that you regret making RS3 updates and allowing more than half of your player base to deviate away from a game that they once knew and loved and is now gone due to the extraordinary imagination of your development team.

Listen, OSRS is the most valuable asset that you have and to a certain extent passes the VRIO attributes (Valuable, Rare, Difficult to imitate, and organized to capture value). Do you really want to add updates that will kill your competitive advantage?

Although some of these updates are ok, but you really want to go back to RS3 and grab some ideas and come throw them at us like that one-slot extra boost whatever it is crap? WE DONT WANT THEM WE DONT NEED THEM we want to play the game normally and not have some op crap on us.

Wake up and smell the coffee for crying out loud.

I think these rewards look awesome. The ancient insignias in particular sound great, I just hope that the raids are very difficult and require a lot of strategy. I feel these rewards should be earned through hard work and not something that everyone should have. Some non-tradeables would be cool to implement if its possible. A leaderboard on the website noting amount of kills and time taken etc

Please don't do this.
I do not often post on the forums but now...

It's the beginning of the next power creep.
It seems like you try to satisfy us by overwhelming us with dragon gear/weapons. we don't need those (now).
New mage gear seems like dagon hai. why try to make it look different by giving it a name which imo even looks like it.. no thanks. (dagon hai marks the new era of rs3 for me).
Why throw in those isignia's?, it's rs3 aura's all over again. we do not need those.
Also, this confuses other people whether or not u are using a 'insignia' because u do not see it.
dragon platebody was the beginning of a very bad rs3 period. even the design was bad. don't give us a bad copy of rs3 is what you always have said. this is exactly that.
Consider this update again, please.

i'll vote no against it.

Bare with us.

Please do not add the prayers or the insignias. We wanted 07 runescape not rs3 with 07 graphics. The dragon additions are fine, but the prayers and pointless insigias are too far.. We don't want rs3 with oldschool combat... We want the oldschool game. Stop with all these updates, these will ruin the game. I would definitely revise these
