So many players would rejoice if you actually introducted a whole new skilling concept, the likes of Farming (perhaps one of the most succeeded ideas). Both in the past and present so many brilliant suggestions have been made for new skills. Skills that blend in perfectly with existing OldSchool content without reminding us of the failures in RS3 like Dungeoneering (which is actually a minigame) and Divination (which I personally have not tried, but it sounds pretty useless). Personally, I like the idea of a new Sailing skill: the ability to build rafts, boats and ships and travel through rivers and oceans and perhaps a new NPC-race and exotic unexplored islands and lands. That would be truly a skill in its own right! The suggestions for Sailing to be added go back well before 2007!!

Mods, please be a little more creative and start actually looking to the suggestions that have been made! There are so many wonderful ideas that are both viable and realistic and concrete enough to be realized. If not Sailing, I'm sure you can come up with something else to keep the game refreshing and going. Jagex, this is your chance to amend for past mistakes and continue RuneScape as if the whole EOC/RS3 thing never took place. Going back in time and adding updates to the game which you should have implemented in the original 2007 version. Updates you owe to the community!

Adding to this, I must say I like the reasoning behind Artisan. There is a genuine grievance which needs to be addresses and that is the dead content, especially when it comes to higher level content without any purpose and skills that are considered pointless (Firemaking). My suggestion is to critically analyze each skill separately to redesign and tweak it wherever it may be needed. Thay way you will improve the already existing skills and content without the need for Artisan.

I am all for this skill 100%. It adds content that gives players something to do, other than grinding a single skill, or simply grinding skills all day. It mixes things up, and creates a more fun way to skill, and rewards you for it as well. The idea is fantastic, and the way things are going are great as well. I for one would love to see this skill implemented.

For all the people who are complaining about 'their precious OSRS/2007Scape', I think you all need to step back and consider what is really going on. Oldschool Runescape is not just a port to a save file, created out of the demand for 'nostalgia'. Sure, the game is very nostalgic, and sure, a lot of old players (including myself) who have played from Classic, to Rs2, to current times, find a lot of nostalgia in playing. However, I'm not so closed minded that I can't accept (and approve and desire) updates to keep this game alive, and evolve it into something other a simple save file; I want it to be a game, developed by both the community and Jagex, to be something greater than what it was.

People hate Rs3 for various things, mostly the Evolution of Combat update, and I did too. I found it to be a 'lazy' way to attempt to catapult the game into a status the likes of World of Warcraft. I feel like it didn't add anything to the game. If anything, Legacy is a 'throwback' to how the game used to be; so if you want your content from 'back in the day', go play Legacy.

I can't stand how toxic this community is, whether it's out of passion or ignorance; I find it very disrespectful to Jagex, who is trying their best to keep up with the Osrs, to keep us entertained for our money. If you don't like the direction the game is going, stop playing, and move on with your life. The game, and most of us who are adult, and mature enough, to understand that change is a part of life, are going to continue to play and enjoy the hell out of this game, and all future updates.

Thank you, Jagex; and I hope that this poll passes.

This looks well thought-out and all, but honestly from a neutral perspective, I'd rather just not wanna have this unnecessary hassle in the game instead of you adding it.

I say stop over complicating stuff that already exist and get back to your workbenches and come up with something new for once.

im not a skiller in any way... id rather smash my head on a wall that sit there cutting logs.... however....

THIS artisan seems very well thougt out. and would tempt me to do skills i normally would never do,
one thing i cant stand is doing the same thing over and over on the same dam tree/ rock etc

this adds VARIETY to skilling ASWELL as small benefits to go with it , without really impacting those who dont. it is the equivalent of slaying for the skillers, great idea

win-win situation

so this will be a YES vote from me

Hopefully enough people remain strong and vote no to send Jagex a message that this is a crap precedent and an even crappier skill.

Given the number of reasons one could oppose this skill, Jagex working to fix those issues (where possible) and repoll seems intelligent to me. This really isn't as simple as a lot of QoL updates like quick banking (which is either ya you like it or nay you don't in my mind). With artisians there's a thousand reasons you may not like it, and them spending forever working with us to fix that probably would have taken...well forever. All of which time we'd rant each time they did fix it (like the community did).

P.s. I hate the entire concept so outside a rework (which isnt happening) I wont be voting yes. No bias here.
