wasting so much time on something that will be voted down..


That's precisely the reason we are working on it. In the Update Priority poll, the third most important thing the community voted for was a new skill. We have a responsibility to the community to try and deliver what they want. If something isn't what the community wants, we should make it what the community wants and that's what makes Old School great.


Obviously the community wasn't sure what that meant/involved at the time of putting their tick in the box, as they now during the last weeks have become more familiar with the idea of a new skill and what it involves. They seem to me to have changed their mind drastically. Which I think should be taken into consideration. Keeping in mind the community had back then no idea of how this new skill would look like, that it even would be made by a player. Also being 3rd in that poll with all those alternatives, as far as i remember, doesn't necessarily mean it will even get 75%
In my view for polls to mean anything at all, the polled should have a clear idea of what they are voting for. This is fortunately now the case with artisan, people can read the blog and vote.

But nevertheless if you are confident that this new skill will be pleasing the community, a new poll shouldn't be a problem. Because Artisan would then be voted for, no?

I feel like Jagex is pushing this Artisan more than they should, and I dislike it.
I might be wrong though, as you by now probably have guessed I'm against the new skill.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day.

I still don't feel like a gloried task system should be a skill. Don't get me wrong, task system itself would be fine, but not as a skill. Make it a non skill task system and I'm down for the yes vote, make it a skill and its a no. I am not interested in bouncing between skills, not my style at all.

I can see where you are coming from, but they did promise this being polled and tweaked a bit so I'm not sure what you expect to happen. Like do you think they will just drop it and not do what they said?

Anyways, I hope that when this skill does fail Jagex don't focus on a new skill any more. Time to let the idea die off I think, the amount of negativity surrounding new skills now is insane.

Personally I'd rather they focused on other more important things like in game poll system, etc.

After reading this dev blog, im happier about the rewards/tasks..

Two things that do bother me though.

1. "resource area" I hated the idea in the wildly, and I still hate the idea now. No point in crapping a whole bunch of skills in one room. There are alternatives, like a house with a dung in it (for mining) and have trees outside of the house (wc)

2. Profit. Obviously slayer is pure profit, I'm wanting to hear more about the "new items" because with a new skill coming out prices will change, and those new items should be profitable. (as much as slayer is)

No resource area, and make it profitable.

Dude, I don't think you realize how many bots they've nuked... that 250-350k "players" weren't actual live players. Many of them were in fact BOTS.

@Mod Mat K
Why wasn't there an option on the voting poll "NONE OF THE ABOVE" I honestly think that would've won the poll...
When you asked the community in the poll for importance of future updates "NEW SKILL" (won 3rd place) Why didn't you simply put that summoning, dg, etc. will not be considered whatsoever?!?
Not to sound like a buzz kill and just smash on all your hard work, but I hope to the Runescape GODS that this skill will be denied and never again come up in future polls. Only way I would ever agree to this being implemented into this fine game is if it were not a skill, but skill revamps (ONLY WAY)

If this is what the people want and this does win, will you please change the name of the game. "Old School" isn't very fitting anymore...

I agree with what Mist says about how it shouldn't be a skill. I appreciate all the work but it is going to complicate things that are relatively simple to do now. I also think adding a task system would be nice, but not some popup menu thing that slaps you in the face like rs3 does. In my opinion, a new skill idea would be something like summoning. Honestly summoning was great, it basically helped you do everything you normally do in rs. This update seems to me like it's going to add more stuff that is really just going to fall to the side if that makes sense. Anyway, thanks!!

It might not be to you, but some players have goals of obtaining max stats. Of course, that's all their choice, but a new school would force them to train it so they can get their goal.
Personally, I'm not too big of a fan for Artisan.
Combination runes would crash prices of other runes and in turn, devalues the purpose of Rune crafting.
idunno, I think there are better things the osrs dev team can focus on instead of a new skill.

Werd mayne!

But seriously.....

Jagex, are you honestly serious about continuing with your heads down, determined to just push out a skill (artisans) that has already been made out to be not wanted by a large amount of the community?


I think you should start delving back into ideas for the new skill, and if none are better than that.......Then just don't release a new skill lol

I don't see how so many people are closed minded. It's like a slayer for skillers maybe you don't want to do it, but that doesn't mean it won't benefit other people. I think this would be great maybe it's not fun and exciting, but slayer really isn't either. The other skills need the revamp that artisan will bring. And it gives skillers something new to do
