I'm quite upset about the whole adamant bar drop being un-noted, this use to be my main source of income and range exp pre-eoc. All i'm seeing is a sad way to deal with those bots that use to farm them. Not trying to be rude but for the people that don't just sit and farm bosses all day this use to be a great way to make money and the only reason i would have voted yes. not to mention adamant bars as i remember didn't crash all that much before the bots knew about this location. Fix your bot problem before implementing a game changing update.

GWD was fine the way it was upon it's original release, Jagex you cater to the whiners too much.

i like all of these ideas, except for one. The armadyl crossbow is only 10 in power better then the runecrossbow... i think it should be quite alot more powerful, other than that i think this will be awesome

Trust me, I've PvP'ed before soaking too. I'm just not seeing a relevant argument to make me say "no" to AotD. All people have been answering my question of "how" is with a "what" explanation. It has no relevance to the question I am asking.

Also, people are complaining about Barrows being "devalued", but something that would help Barrows not be mitigated, and people complain about it? Backwards thinking in my opinion. Personally, I think the Bandos/Barrows talk is hogwash because Bandos is basically glorified Dragon, but still.

Ok, im sorry but youre going to have to expand on the first paragraph, maybe its that i just woke up, but it made absolutely no sense to me, im not sure what your'e referring to bye the "how" part of AotD.

In regards to the second paragraph, i could go back over the last 10-15 pages+several other threads where ive stated that barrows are fine as is, and don't need an increase in combat ability. There releasing bandos, and people are reacting to it like its torva or something, its not, im perfectly happy with the way barrows/bandos relationship is at the moment unchanged.

Basically- "How will this occur" as compared to "What may occur". Both have 2 completely different answer sets, if that helps any.

I really think you guys should poll the adamant bar concept. I honestly think you should keep it the way it was. Sure you could debate about a botting problem, but the main thing I liked about the bars was that it was a consistent way to make money/pay off for GWD supplies.

-If people can camp spiritual mages for dragon boots or the spike things, what's the difference if somebody camps aviansies?

-Perhaps you can add more variety of decent valued drops that can add up over time, or something like that.

-What I loved about God Wars was the variety. You could either make consistent money from aviansies, get dragon boots on your slayer task, or get lucky from a boss and earn what I'd expect to be a lot of money for something like an AGS or armour drop.

Recap: Please give us a poll for the adamant bars. I'd expect a lot of people will lean towards saying no to this update because of that. Just saying that you think it would be a bad idea for all of the bars coming into the game doesn't mean that it should happen. After all, didn't you say we would decide the fate of the game?

Well, my rant is over. I thank you for reading and hope you give it a chance.

Very good updates, but no to the addy bars being unnoted. They should remain to be noted, this is still fair. It will not matter either way, they will be alched. This is just a stubborn inconvenience to appease complaints.

Please do not change the AGS to 60% special as well. It should have two specs and have its stats remain the same. It will be a weapon that is over 150mil. There are no others like this in the game, it quadruples any other item for the highest price. People pay out for this item, because of how rewarding it is. Do not change it.

Thank you so much for GWD! It will bring so much activity and wealth into the game! Bank options too!

From Page 38, Post 4

''Adamant bars:

Quite simply, we think it'd be bad for the game if we introduce such a big source of the bars. It's not okay to be able to camp there all day and return with a massive stack of adamant bars; miners ought to have a reasonable chance to find a market for the adamantite and the coal required to smelt it. So, if you vote to bring back the GWD, you're voting for it with a nerfed version of that feature.''

In case anybody actually missed that...

''So, if you vote to bring back the GWD, you're voting for it with a nerfed version of that feature.''

We don't vote on whether or not botwatch gets used either.

Seriously though.. y'all wanted GWD because it's 'end game content' not because of noted addy bars.. right? lol "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

I really like the ideas you guys are coming up with :D

The only question I have, why is the Armadyl Crossbow being dropped from Zilyana? I know that Armadyl cannot drop it, as it will be dropping the AGS. Is there another name you could come up with, regarding Saradomin?

So much for the old school feel. Oh well, had a good run while it lasted. Welcome to 2008 without trade restrictions. Now, on to business...

I like the dragon boots idea. Rune boots would still have some value(Not combat-wise), and people have to put some effort into getting the boots.

I can't say I'm too fond of godswords however. I don't want to watch the DDS die all over again. And even if the 60% thing goes, there are ways around that, if I remember correctly. I think purple sweets restored either special energy or run energy, can't remember which, but it was by either 5% or 10%. If it is special energy, then that 60% won't mean crap to pkers. Just pointing that out.

But other than that, go nuts. My vote is 'no' though. I want to stay in the 07 I remember a bit longer.

Restoring 10% RUN ENERGY actually. ROLF

Read. I said I couldn't remember which. Thanks for clarifying though :D Looking at my post history in 2022 has made me realize I may have had a very minor case of serious brain damage as a kid.
