2- Community:
PvP RSC and RSB clans, the community that are formed around multiplayer PvP have lost a lot over the years with Jagex turning a blind eye on the wilderness. Everyone at Jagex HQ knows this. They tried to fix this issue with failed content such as the Crucible and now they're trying again with War Bands. It is a lost cause. The PvP community has lost interest in EoCScape. The damage is done. It can't be repaired. OSRS is the last refuge PvP clans have before they get annihilated completely from Runescape. PvP clans need a healthy and highly rewarding wilderness to thrive. PvM can take that away easily.

3- Overpowered Weapons:
Overpowered godswords, armours, etc are what started the PvM spree and power lust of wanting more and more of everything. The weapons due to their high stats, compared to the low healing food and hit point levels in the game, were over powered and rendered the wilderness unbalanced. 1-itemers with no risk at all rushing and killing fully armoured pkers that actually risked something is what tipped the balance of the wilderness. The items need to be heavily nerfed to gain even a hint of approval from real old players.

4- Slippery Slope:
As I said before, PvMscape and PvPscape cannot co-exist. Once PvMscape starts, it will not end there. PvM'ers will want something more powerful once they have their prized GWD items in abundance. Itemhoarding will be in full swing and it will end up with players wanting the Corporeal Beast. Divine shields will be the next stop. It will not stop there, people will want curses and summoning next to make it easy for them to Corp. My question is, where do you draw the line? Only Jagex can answer that. I'd rather stop this nonsense by voting No from the start instead of waiting to see an uncertain future.

These are the four main
non negotiable
issues I have with GWD. I will vote
No

Ok so off topic I know but, I reported a bug about 5 days into 07 and it's not yet fixed.

The fishing spot that appears on the south side of the river, furthest west (west of the bridge) in Shilo Village is blocked by a vine you can't walk on.

How long do these type of bugs take to fix? Also reposting it here incase it got missed. :P

someone said with gwd added( godswords) it would make melee over-power mage and leave it in the dust...first of all ice barrage would wreck people

and of course bandos, armadyl is higher power its a next step up from rune
(bandos was mostly equal in stats with dragon)
though it would be nice for mage to get a good armour set


i would really like to see gwd added

i don't know if you ever actually used ice barrage back when gwd was added, but yes...it does over power mage a lot the issue is melee has no penalty while wearing range armor and strength boosting items, you then find you cant out hit your opponent at all let alone freeze him and far cast.

basically goes like this:
mage: splash, splash, splash, 25, splash, 18, splash, 20, 30(lucky), splash.
melee: 20, miss, 40, miss, miss, 50+(spec), 30, 35, miss, 72(lucky), 38.

gear:
melee: some cheap d hide, climbing boots, helm(zerker in most cases), glory.
mage: mystic(pricier) or infinity(expensive) or ahrims(expensive) and a glory.

melee allready has the advantage with dps, not need to make it worse imo

n top of that, we didn't want to make any changes without a poll agreeing to it so we weren't simply going to add it in anyway.

But not adding it in IS the change because 2007 HAD F2P-themed worlds!!

Well, you're partially right. It did have F2P worlds, but not F2P worlds that required you to have an active membership subscription. I agree with you though, it wouldn't hurt to add them and I don't even pk myself. It's strange that there has to be a poll about it as I can't see how it'd effect the game in a negative way.

It is odd that there has to be a second poll about it. Personally, I voted in favour of f2p gear worlds, but apparently quite a few people are against the idea. Are we going to have several GWD polls too, until one of them is accepted?

I think GWD would require more than one poll, considering how much the community is split on it.

First poll on it would be taking the most favoured ideas and pitting them against each other to see which one is most popular.

Second poll would be to see if the most popular idea gets the 75% approval of the community.

Just my 2 cents.

If I may, I'd like to direct you to my topic, QFC: 317-318-347-64647002

Basically, as it's already been stated and proved by the first poll that F2P is not possible, at least for the time being, with OSRS, then I think what would make the most sense is to strive to change the game the least amount possible from 2007, and the reality of it is that no F2P-restricted worlds AND no F2P players is a bigger change than just no F2P players.
