I really like the idea of RAIDS coming to OSRS. Like REALLY EXCITED, the idea is great. But i am completely unsatisfied with these rewards and will be voting no to raids altogether if nothing gets changed. Raids are a brand new feature to osrs, and yet it just seems like another after thought that you guys have had on the burner for awhile and youre finally like, ok lets just do this. This honestly has worse rewards than void outpost and that is just a minigame (1 of the 20 + in game that feel like stale modes that people play for a month or 2 and move on). we seriously need something fresh in this game that sticks to the old school theme but at the same time does not become another forgotten gem like castle wars( IT USED TO BE FUN!) now it is just another part of the used up osrs map that seems like you are just trying to FILL UP. i literally only go to castlewars for a fast banking method. like seriously? instead of coming out with these crap updates that "change the game" in no way whatsoever , how about improve /update some of the current content that used to be part of the game and is now abandoned by the majority of players. Hell, just throw these rewards into the void outpost and it would be more fitting. Raids is a new game mode, i would like to see some new shit added to it. not just recycled material that adds no fresh air into the game.

Here are my thoughts:

Elder maul
- I don't mind it as long as it's not better for PvM than Bludgeon (confirmed in the blog). Would be fun weapon to use in PvP, similar to Chaotic maul.
Elder wand
- Glad you removed the melee bonuses. Seems really useful.
Kodai Robes
- Loving the idea so far. Can choose between Ahrims and Kodai Robes now, all depending on the situation. Maybe make so you'd need to sacrifice Ahrims to get these new robes (would help to increase Barrows activity).
Dragon Platebody
- Was really hyped about this item, too bad it's not a reward anymore. Was reading a Reddit post about Dragon Platebody earlier, found some really interesting ideas what to do with this item.
Dragon Thrownaxe
- I don't see them being that useful.
Dragon Sword
- I don't mind.
Forgotten Prayers
- I'd only vote for Rigour and Augury from Raids.
Preserve : Might be useful in some situations
Rigour : Looking forward to this
Augury : Looking forward to this
Poison absorb , Divine grace , Venom absorb : Useless Prayers in my eyes

Thank you for reading my thoughts. #nohate

Don't really like the idea of Kodai robes being useless just because a few people are overrating Ahrim's. Depending on the price of Kodai, Ahrim's set will still be the go-to set for most people. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it beiing 2nd BiS.

Unfortunately really not impressed with the rewards from a new supposed endgame pvm type combat. honestly if the rewards and such stay as is probably won't even waste much time with raids sadly was really looking forward to it as well.

I'd like to see some melee related prayers besides just magic and ranged. As is range is already very powerful. Also what i would like to see is the prayer scrolls received from raids to be untradable. I don't agree with the fact that someone who has a lot of money can just buy a prayer so easily. Maybe add a quest or put it as a reward for completing a diary to be able to use them.
