When OSRS and RS3 split the reasons were not only due to the differences in combat.
We were losing many players that had worked hard to earn their levels that thought that things like the shooting star and other quick level shortcuts devalued the hard work that others had done. All of a sudden people could use these quick level shortcuts to climb to the top of the highscore lists without having earned their levels in the same way.
I am concerned that adding the shooting star back will be a return to this "easy way out" type of thinking, and result in a loss of players.
Right now OSRS has a strong membership base. We do not want it's membership declining like RS3 experienced. Please do not vote for this or other quick levelling choices that will make OSRS into a clone of RS3.
