What I do not get and cannot understand is this.

They brought back the old rs in the height of popularity in 2007. People are playing oldschool rs because they love the game at its form in 2007, yet people and jagex are trying to update the game right back to where people left the game.

Keep the game how it is and make only very minor updates.

Don't beg for updates to make the game easier. Leave the game how it is, it isn't that hard.

I would very much like to see the GWD come back to light.

Albeit I hope it is a few months down the road, when people have burned out on KQ, DKs, and other boss monsters.

Godwars (pre-GE / summoning) is actually a lot harder than most people remember. Specifically lower levels who didn't do it until Bandos could be camped 24/7.

If godswords have to be removed from PVP so be it, but the viability that GWD released, and the variety of new bosses is essential to our PVM lovers.

PS. To those haters saying GWD is so modern, remember that it was released in August 07.

GWD IS 2007
GWD IS oldschool

You really didnt get my point, did you? When I'm talking about Old School I mean from the beginning to ~2006. Year 2007 was already kinda horrible if you ask me.

The f2p pking was there from the start so no question about it, its Old School - the oldest school. GWD is, for me, new school. I stopped playing soon after it came out and havent really played since that time (ok, ok, made this account when the old wilderness "came back".. still wasnt the same game so I quit again).

But I get it.. there are lots of PvE/PvM guys who would loooove to see every sigle dungeon to come back. But you can do that at EoC, we cant do our thing.

And oh, the GS were REALLY overpowered. You say they are counter to barrows? I see.. you really dont pk? There were only few who had the guts to bring barrows armour and whip to the wilderness. Well sure, ahrims were there but theyr hardly to be considered "defencive armours" (or that expensive). Every single player can bring the GS because of the protective prayer.. That it the main difference.

And hey, you dont have to spam. You will, propably, get your vote. And I will say no.

Well then, your definition of oldschool is different to what JaGex has declared to be oldschool. I am going with the standard convention of Pre 10-Aug-07 = "oldschool"

You don't like GWD, which is fine.
I like GWD, which is also fine.
Now that that is settled, lets talk about the actual knock-on effects to the game, ye?

You cant do your thing in EoC, granted. But nor can I do my thing in EoC...
You see, I do not just enjoy PvM, I enjoy the easy laid back combat mechanism. I 100% resent the fact that humans can now breath fire... like srsly, wtf??
"My thing" also cannot be done in EoC. We're in the same boat, mate.

So we're both here for the same reason - so we can get back to the game we enjoy.
Only you enjoy the PvP side of things, and that needs to be preserved. I enjoy the PvM side of things with THIS combat mechanism, and this also needs to be preserved... We need to find a happy medium that suits us both =)

The GS were not overpowered, compared to the PvM bosses. The only GS that impacted PvP was the AGS when it became abundantly available, which wasn't until summoning and gravestones were introduced.

Also, what I meant when I said it balanced out barrows was this:
Barrows provide a high-defense option for endgame... so why not also have a high dps option for endgame as well?
THIS is what the GWD items balanced out. We had endgame items stacked with def, and GWD balanced this with endgame items stacked with dps.
Sorry for the confusion...

PS.
dps = damage per second.

Also, I think melee is unbalanced in the AoE (Area of Effect) department too... Like, Rangers have red chins, Magers have ice barrage, and Meleers have... well they have nothing... the GodSwords make up for this =D

If AGS really only became a problem after Gravestones and Summoning, then PKers really have nothing to worry about at present. Summoning is beyond the current size of the Dev Team of OSRS, and Gravestones WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Even if Gravestones get put into a poll, I guarantee more than 25% of the vote will be against it. Gravestones really caused a lot of inflation in Modern Day RuneScape, due to the fact that fewer items and gold left the game, while stuff entered the game at around the same rate.

I don't know when the AGS problem first occured, though. I never was a PKer, and I only got my first membership soon before the Petition to Bring Back Free Trade/ Wilderness PKing. It was a Petition, because you could only vote yes. I quit after my 3 months were up because I knew that RWT bots would return en masse.
