You simply cannot call this balancing as a excuse to not poll this update. :|

zulrah, void, shop are here since the beginning.

call that balancing after all this time you should be ashamed of yourselves.

These updates just favor the ones that already abused it in the past (higher then average lvls),

also not everyone likes to do raids and that is why you did these updates,

you want people to get invested in this game grind allot of stats, and do raids, after all you

worked and hyped so hard about it, well yeah it's your job.

Don't nerf stuff that has been around for so long becouse your raids update doesn't

have enough nerds playing it and is close to dead content from the start.

if it wasn't for old content (claws, augury, rigour) that you put as rewards for raids, it was

dead content from the start but for the people that felt invested in runescape and had

nothing left to do then go to raids or get 200M mining xp, maybe 5/1000 players that play

this game actually benefited from this update. Believe it or not I checked my date reading this

news if it was 1 april, it wasnt your for real and peace out. Gooooodbye

I'd like for the world map to have a toggle off feature. I play in fixed mode and don't find it very useful. I often miss-click it when clicking on the mini map. (Also, I know this isn't the place for this but I would love it if you weren't able to drag items while holding shift) Much appreciated!

As a long term player, starting back in early 2006 and seeing this game in its prime, then seeing the drastic crash and the attempt to pick up the pieces, the only thing that pisses me off about this update is the fact that you did not poll it. Something you said you would do when you released osrs, is power to the players. We pay, we Say right? You took the power from our hands and did this update of your own accord, regardless of the content.

Who's to stop you from doing to this game what you did to RS3? Poll your fucking updates

Also are these getting polled because clearly they are not QoL updates.
No, balancing fixes and game integrity updates are not subject to polls. We've tried polling fixes like that before, but it doesn't serve the game's long-term health (and doesn't even much please players either).

So the democracy of Runescape dies with the loop-hole of making game-changing updates and calling them "integrity updates." Nerfing void because it's overpowered when people have designed their entire account around void, meanwhile the twisted bow drops bosses like flies and your "nerf" of it was to put a TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY % cap on it?

n 1 March 2013 or so don't quote me on date
http://services.runescape.com/m=poll/rs2007-server
Quote: "Starting in a few weeks, we’ll have regular polls for the Old School community to decide which changes they do or don’t want made, short listed from your discussions on the Old School Feedback forum."

I'm struggling to understand how these tweaks not came under the requirement to be polled. Its not a bug which has to be fixed, its not a new content which just came out and has to be tweaked, this content been here for a while now and one day Jagex decided to change it. Oh sorry it was mentioned that:
Quote: "The community has always strongly leaned towards the idea of fixing existing problems" who did represented the community's opinion in this matter? I haven't elected anyone to represent my opinion and I never had a chance to express my opinion in poling it either. Are we having some kind a elite who can talk on behalf of a whole community?

In regards to certain items loosing their value Jagex should do more to fight bots, cuz bots are reason no.1 in crushing game's economy. And if there are some OP drops from mobs they should be looked in to when released not after almost two years if that's the case they should be poled like any other change.
IRL I'm happy to live in a society were majority is given a chance to decides its further path. Sometimes it doesn't go in a way I wanted, but that's how "Democracy" works. To have this in online community is something astonishing. And us all as a community, we should all be proud of. Are you serious?

Pretty crazt updates in terms of no poll. Although I loved the easy no fuss gp per hour from Zulrah I think a nerf was the right option. However by 30% seems to not add up if rune ore is only 2 now from its 10. I wonder if the maths actually adds up and its not completely ruined. Its not a hard boss but it does require full attention to mantain a steady gp per hour margin. Therefore hopefully it is at least up there with doubling nature runes per hour for a pvn alternative.

While you nerfed the armours I feel as though elsyain shield dsereves a boost. Ever since raids its use is fairly unimportant for most content apart from soloing armadyl or bandos/zammy. I know there was an update for it but perhaps it needs to be either on par defensively to the twisted bows offensive stats, or at least some boss tweaks to make defence a more integral part of the game.

Not everyone wants the mechanics to just be to down a boss as quick as possible. Defence is fun too.

Over all thanks for the updates and read. Clan Defy -

How this update fix serpentine helm being now useless? Chance to venom npc attacked by melee attacks? Serp helm had only use in gwd bossing. And now with that nerf is useless. All bosses are immu to venom, arma boss is range only sara for solo players also, zammy boss slayer helm is better, bandos is immu to venom serp can only poison him but that's what abyssal tentcle dose, and no one will Ignore the boss and attack the minions to venom them. Thats make serp dead content, only People killing zulrah might find it useful but after 60% loot nerf they won't do zulrah anymore cuz raids are 2-3 Times better gp/h zulrah should be buff with now phases more damage to make it harder not f*cking up the drop table. And sharks even with 100% catch boost are still to slow and takes to much time to the People who dont play all day everyday. That update only buffett fishing bots and mess up every new ironmans or hardcores how running to sawmil with logs is better for the game than killing boss like zulrah? Keep ignoring players and yours customers. That will rly make the game better. And remove that annoying sound from magic tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
