Devblog: First content poll
Quick find code: 380-381-46-65435538
I thought i'd give my opinion on some of the possible future content updates..
DON'T DO IT!
I strongly disagree with bringing out the GWD, as the whole idea of old school Runescape is keeping it old school, and sorry, GWD wasn't old school! Also, i don't think i will be happy if new weapons stronger then the whip came out as it would also ruin the whole old school runescape idea. Back when i use to play 2007, the biggest thing i was afraid of in the wilderness was someone strolling along with a whip! GWD would take this away from us.
Aside from GWD, any more content release will start to change the game too much and bring it that little bit closer to the current and modern Runescape and away from the thing that you bought back in the first place, old school runescape.
Sorry for the rant lol! Hope others agree

Mist, that's an interesting idea (about having the don't care vote option), but what would happen if 'I don't care' got the majority 75% vote, would the update not happen I assume?

Anyways, looking forward to the next poll. Sounds great.
As for future content, I'd prefer if GWD was left out. The introduction of godswords in particular mark a turning point in RS history. Their presence altered PvP greatly, and not in a good way, imo. Also, activity shifted away from skills, to just camping bosses. That said, I'll just be skilling regardless so it wouldn't effect me personally too much. But, it isn't about just me, it is about the game as a whole, and I feel GWD would do more harm than good. But, all I can really say is that it should be thought about very carefully by all voters, and by Jagex as the decision can and likely will impact all aspects of the game more than would be expected at first glance. All angles of this proposal need to be recognised and considered (perhaps a thread could be made especially for discussion of this when the time comes, and all sides of the issue could be presented so that voters will be educated on the subject).
Also, ZMI will dramatically increase RC xp rates. Whether or not this is good or bad, personally I've yet to decide.
At the end of the day, such content updates run a very high risk of corrupting the very reasons 07 was brought back. While updates may sound nice on paper, I hope things don't change too much, as it is a slippery slope and may end up with a game unlike what 07 is meant to be. But, I trust that things will work out fine in the end.
RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.
