Dragon Claws - NO. I think the idea is bad, id rather see abyssal claws and a 70 or 75 attack req.

Ancestral Robes - Yes. It makes sense to have a mage equivalent of bandos/armadyl.

Twisted Bow - NO, I have 99 range but this sounds like a horrible idea. A higher magic level should not equal you take more range damage. That is stupid.

Twisted Buckler - YES YES YES, this is an amazing edition to bis range gear.

Dinh's Bulwark - I like the idea, but for the block mode, more than 20% damage reduction would be necessary to make it a valid option with zero dps. Perhaps a recoil effect when in block mode as well?

Dragon Hunter Crossbow - HELL NO. It devalues armadyl crossbow and the reqs are way too low on it. Range already destroys dragons at high levels, dragons have never meant to be an easy kill.

Elder Armour, Kodai Robes, Twisted armour - YES! YES! YES! 70%+ of players want these top tier armors in the game. But why does it degrade? Im pretty sure the majority vote was non-degradable? Without these high-end armors many high-level pvmers will lose interest (including myself). And I suggest making the reqs higher to keep the game balanced. Why can a lvl 100 compete with a 126? makes no sense from any point of view. Levels get harder and harder to get towards 99, why shouldn't there be good incentive?

This is OLDSCHOOL. I play this game because I enjoy the older items a lot. I don't want there to be items better than them.

I'm sorry but it may be called Oldschool but thats not what it is. What we have now is what *majority* of the players wanted but then EOC happened and Squeel of Fortune etc. Like i said not all, but most, want the game to move forward in this way which is what would have happened had not the previously mentioned updates happened.

I love everything in this dev blog except... yup, d claws. Don't get me wrong, claws could work out. There are plenty of other things that could be used as OP spec weapons. It's just that it's a replica of Other Runescape, and not original content (GE and QOL things are an exception). I am all for the abyssal claws rework or whatever else, just as long as it's different. Maybe even a different spec?

Theres some things im for and others im against.
I think d claws would be a great addition( currently there is no variety in pking) and they are NOT OP
As for the 2H shield.... NO... it will ruin single pking(literally makes it impossible to die on a TB) and devalues the elysian completely.

Dragon Claws : Yes. Please. I used to LOVE carrying these around as a spec weapon while i did slayer or killed things for money. Perhaps increase spec to 55% of bar or nerf it against player targets? I personally don't care.. but pvp'ers do.

Ancestral Robes : All of my yes. Bout time. LOVE that this doesn't degrade. THANK YOU. Magic is already way too expensive to use.

Twisted Bow : Yes. YES. YES. HOWEVER: I think this effect should be reduced or removed entirely in PvP scenarios. Nobody wants to feel penalized for training their character.

Twisted Buckler - Why not? But seems like a weak upgrade for the rarity/cost. Only the super rich will ever use this i assume. But yeah. sure.

Dinh's Bulwark - Love the concept, block mode is underpowered. Honestly trading 100% damage output for 20% less damage taken seems really bad. Even tanking a boss, that extra dps will save you that damage taken in all but the most extreme cases.

Dragon Hunter Crossbow - Yes. Sounds cool, probably won't be worth what it costs. Will this work on wyverns? This is a big deal for the future of the armadyl crossbow and kree'arra bossing in general.

Degradable Sets - I've said this before about RS3 and I'll say it again here: High rate of degradation of high-end equipment makes it impractical for anything but bossing. This is singlehandedly why I quit playing RS3 many years ago.

The high end gear can't be used for anything fun without that nagging voice in the back of your mind "But you'll have to go grind gold for every second you wear this stuff". There are better ways to gold sink the economy than penalizing people for enjoying their spoils of war.

100k per hour isn't that bad, I'd still use it, but this is a really slippery slope to start walking. I always ask myself one thing "If I took this armor into a minigame, would I feel good wearing it? Or would I be unable to stop think about all the money I'm losing?"

Voting no on the 2h shield because it is way to op in deep wildy singles pking and at bandos.

I really like the idea of the ancestral robes, giving it use in some circumstances but ahrims being better in others. I will vote no to claws especially with a 60 attack requirement. The problem with tournament worlds is that in realistic pvp situations, people aren't going to be in maxed gear so it would be more powerful than people expect imo. The dragon hunter crossbow is a great idea, anything for specific monsters is better than a rapid power creep and ranged needed that more than any of the 3 combat styles imo, because hasta works pretty well on metal dragons and so does magic while ranged is far less accurate. Its also refreshing to have other combat styles getting some love for a change lol. I like the idea of the 2 handed shield as well. The rest I'm mehish, I don't want to see elder armor in the game specifically because of how many times it failed the poll. This idea of constantly repolling is annoying imo because in the future it can be used to force content on us.
