Why not just tweak the bar drop rates. I find it's going to make GWD useless for non-PVMers.

The main way that Aviansies campers would heal was with B2P tabs, or the spell. This would encourage people to do MTA, make tabs, get runes etc so anyone saying it's pure profit is wrong.

Sure, 20% drop rate is too high, so why not make it 10% or even 5%?

Ash.. is this:

''A popular and simple suggestion is to make the adamant bars drop as items instead of banknotes; this is what we will implement if the God Wars Dungeon passes its poll.''

'etched in stone' so to speak?

It seems unlikely that people will stop whining about it, unless it's absolutely 'confirmed' that this IS what will be implemented if GWD passes the poll. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

I really don't think changing dragon boot drops to "dragon material" is necessary.
Various people expressed concern about devaluing rune boots in the feedback threads we were running during recent weeks. This change was designed to address the concern with very little impact to the rest of the game, and without ruining the monopoly that level 83 Slayers have on dragon boots. It's not a big deal either way.

Yeah it might devalue rune boots a little, but wouldn't it make spiritual mages less profitable? You'd just be getting an add on, instead of the final product, so I'd assume the "dragon material" would be worth less than actual dragon boots.

It might make them slightly less profitable then they were, but not much. Your still getting the +4 strength bonus instead of +2 and so the people should still want it. The difference is that the material now competes with its other component. Ofc anyone that does slayer still gets nech tasks, you those rune boots will still be valuable too. Those who just camp spirit mages...well I never did like campers of slayer monsters, so I dont feel much pity.

Most of this sounds great EXCEPT that you didn't add any new magic robes to the question AND you are going to just re-release the staff of light rather than introducing a new staff or updating the steam staff. Also there are issues giving armadyl another huge drop with this amulet of the damned.

1.Staff of light's special attack ruined staking (i have not ever staked but it's not fair to them) and bringing an item from rs3 into osrs is pointless. What's wrong with making the steam staff better or bringing in a zamorakian staff?

2.Why are there no magic robes being offered in this poll, just as strongly as people have wanted a new magic staff people have wanted new magic armor to go along with it. Don't let the zamorak boss become dead content.

3. There is no need to give armadyl the rights to drop this amulet of the damned if it is to pass, it's already the most profitable boss in runescape. I suggest giving this drop to saradomin or zamorak if it passes. I do NOT agree with anything being added to old school which would have the ability to "absorb" damage dealt to the player. Elysian and divine shields were like this and they ruined bossing and gameplay forever. Nothing should ever be added with hitsplat-absorbing properties, that's too uncreative and game-breaking. Why not just allow this amulet another bonus to full barrows sets such as an increase in defensive stats or something else that isn't game-changing.

Other than that I like what I see.

Can i please get a response from you mod ash or someone else from jagex, I think these are important issues that need to be discussed and I'd like to see the arguments from "both sides of the screen" so to speak.

Sounds like its one big question with "do you want god wars" meaning if those ppl are so adamant about not having adamant bars changed they need to say NO to god wars. That however would seem silly since no god wars means no adamant bars either.:o (ofc if they get close I suppose Ash might try again with revisions?)

P.s. Pun intended. "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero"

Perhaps I'm confused but...why not just turn off specials?

addy bars drops shouldn't be nerfed

It won't bring inflation, people won't smith the addy bars into high alchable items, infact it will cost too much (LOL!), for people to profit from addy bars their price would be under 1770 (addy pl8 alch/5 - 225 nature price (shop)) and the guy needs to be 89 smithing! and it would bring 1gp per addy pl8 smithed LOL!
What I said above is delusional...Addy bars will mainly be used for normal bolts, ruby bolts and diamond bolts, those items disappear after used for a while...


as for bots, I don't believe I have seen any bots at gwd until like 2012, I don't think those bots will appear on osrs again (I may be wrong)
BUT why punish players because of bots? :( On rs3, before EOC, I did a lot of aviansies killing as a pure (1defence and 41+ pray needed) going with pray pots and praying range all the time, it would cost me ton of pray pots but I gained a bit of pocked change at the end...
And again if there are bots, Jagex please do your job and ban them, I saw Mod Mat K the other day using the "rotten potato" on some green dragon bot, I don't know what he exactly did but he banned the bot...
So please instead of harming real players, tackle your bot problems and don't change addy drops.


Thanks for reading my awful spelling and grammer
Peace.

DDS/Whip staking is a pretty common type of staking where people use the special attack of the dds and then switch to the whip, staff of light's special attack is better than using the dds in the end, but I don't feel like this is what the SoL's special attack original intent was to replace the dds in whip staking.
