Xp boosts should not be implemented, the more i think about it, the more i disagree with it.

Pkers should be given incentives, if anything, to kill pkers, not harmless skillers

Skilling on PvP worlds is already the best by far, as there is no competition from bots

Brawling gloves will do nothing but devalue skills, although i stopped caring about that myself, it shouln't be added

The whole premise of killing people to get gloves and pvp equipment is absolutely terrible, as there is no doubt, at all that it wont be manipulated, just like every other time something similar has been made, this WILL be abused

If you ABSOLUTELY must add those pvp armor/weapons, do it from a highly expensive shop instead, that would make a large money drain and actually benefit the economy instead, and is not open to abuse.

Also, the items were meant to be occassionally obtained or highly expensively bought, not to be cost effective at all, the only way it could be cost effective is insanely high end stakes.

No...just please please no to this "brawling gloves" idea.

An item that increase your xp by even just 15% means to stay competitive for xp, you will have to PK which is my least favourite thing to do in runescape.

The reason I am playing Old School is with the certainty that xp rates won't be messed with and boosted every few months like this.

Also then you remove the use of things like Penance gloves, cooking gauntlets, goldsmith gauntlets - *power you need to work for* - @ModAsh remember your post saying things like Torso/firecape/rune defender have to be earned? These gloves just scream Squeal of Fortune to me.....Really object to xp rate changes, don't devalue the time I have spent so far on here,

No! No XP multipliers!
There are some things in this game that you can and cannot alter. XP rates and Economic wealth (gold, items, etc) are up on the tip top of list of things NOT to change!

I understand that you, Jagex, need to push incentive for people to play this new content, but this is the wrong way to tackle it! You're forgetting the fundamental purpose of this game! First, and most importantly, LET THE PLAYERS DECIDE! We don't care if you think it's the coolest idea ever. Nothing should be added didn't pass (let alone didn't show up) on the polls. Second, this is Old School Runescape!

Just ask yourselves. What would the old Jagex team think of this? What would Andrew Gower and his friends of such an update? I guarantee you that the XP rate would be scrapped, and I think you know the reason why. Do not implement it or the Runescape will fall. Again. It won't be runescape anymore. It'll be another corporate scheme that'll end in microtransactions and microrewards because you are too lazy to put in real content and take the easy way out by tinkering with the rewards system. That is not what game developers do. Game developers create new content. Do not think like businessmen and try to rake in profit by taking shortcuts. It will harm the game.

Please don't make it so that skillers and xp-competitors have to PK to be competitive at their favourite activity - skilling. PKers do not have to skill to PK (a bit for quests but be honest it's not a lot of levels compared to several 99's).

Forcing people to grind out rewards for their favourite activity *by doing something completely different* has never pleased anybody in Runescape. Things like Mobilising armies for imbued rings etc.

Once again, I'll say please don't devalue my time already spent on runescape by boosting the xp rates, let alone boosting it with PK rewards. I have never seen anyone complain about the speed of xp in Old School. It is perfect right now for skilling.

Why are you making the bank interface more cumbersome?

Would it not make more sence to streamline it instead?


'In RS3, the order of the bank options is:

Withdraw-1
Withdraw-5
Withdraw-10
Withdraw-? (the last number you typed for Withdraw-X)
Withdraw-X
Withdraw-All
Withdraw-All-but-one

In Old School RuneScape, the order of the bank options is:

Withdraw-1
Withdraw-5
Withdraw-10
Withdraw-All
Withdraw-X
Withdraw-? (the last number you typed for Withdraw-X)'

Now, the withdraw 1 option is completely redundant, I can withdraw 1 of something by left clicking on it.
Withdraw 5 and withdraw 10 are pretty much useless because we seldom need those amounts and the withdraw x/ withdraw (last entry for X) feature in large part replaces the need of them

'Withdraw all but one' is not needed at this time because our bank remembers where things were, we just take all and put one back.

Should our banks forget how to do this as they did after the tabbed bank up date then that 'withdraw all but one' would be needed.

So here is what a streamlined OSRS right click bank options list should look like:

Withdraw-X
Withdraw-? (the last number you typed for Withdraw-X)
Withdraw-All
*Withdraw all but one* ( if needed because of tabbed banking)

Just a thought, sometimes simpler IS better.

Also as an unrelated note, what I would like to see in OSRS is skilling content rather than constant combat updates. What the OSRS team has released so far were only small tweaks to skilling instead of new content like ZMI altar, or Advanced agility courses.
First off there were skill updates so we're not being ignored.. 2ndly a zmi alter lol? advance agility course? these updates would increase the rates of training methods and pretty much make previous top training methods dead content....... i do not want to see that happen. Besides having dead content i also dont want to see boosted xp training methods................ thats what ruined the game and in the end is one of the biggest things that destroyed the main game the game kept getting easier and easier faster and faster update after update.. and in the end thats what destroyed skilling I am 100% against any skilling updates that increase training methods if its small or large as there wouldnt be a reason to skill anymore if they were to release crazy updates like zmi and advanced agility courses.. and alot of ppl would agree with me and a lot did come to this game for the challenge.. they didnt come to this game to expect it to get easier and easier faster and faster over time they came here for the challenge..
