"we could introduce additional magic or ranging equipment to counterbalance the melee focus of the dungeon. "

Are you joking? So basically more overpowered weapons to counter overpowered weapons? Isn't that how we got to the mess that is RS3 and why everyone wanted OSRS? We don't need ANY overpowred weapons introduced to start with, if GWD is coming back then completely nerf the specs, make them all 100% energy and lower the AGS max hit. Will be voting no anyways though, this isn't even Old School anymore. It's just a bunch of new kids from 2k12 who don't like eoc and want this to be as recent as possible before eoc.


OR just make them not useable in the wilderness.

Post above me is the prime example as to why GWD can't come out. It fundamentally changed the game in so many ways by introducing weapons that are so blatantly overpowered.



Just because something is new and better than previous weapons or armour, that does not mean it is overpowered.

I'm tired of that lame excuse.


That's the logic that basically ruined RS. Everyone keeps wanting newer and more powerful armor/weapons until they get to the point where you're basically 1 hitting each other. The current armor/weapons are already as powerful as they should be, and yes, GWD items are overpowered - when you get to the point that kids with terrible stats can run around and spec people 60's and 70's it becomes a problem.

What's next, dragon claws, spirit shields, chaotics? And I don't say that sarcastically either, there are actually players who want to basically ruin this game all over again with these items using your same logic - they're not overpowered, just better than previous items, right? You have to draw the line somewhere or you start to defeat the purpose of having an OLD SCHOOL runescape and you start to ruin the game for everyone else who actually came back for this

Also, next people will complain about the lack of coinshare/lootshare and we'll have a GE. This is just a slippery slope for the worst.

It's pretty disappointing for the actual Old School players who quit years ago and came back for this too, it seems like we're reliving things all over again. Mod MMG was right when he said August 10, 2007 was a "sweet spot" as it lacked GE and GWD.

why are the two questions the same? in that priority poll

We want to know your favourite two updates.
The poll system doesn't support multi-choice questions where you get to pick two answers.

So we run the same question twice, and you get to give two answers.
If you only like one of the updates, you get to vote for it twice.
