untradeable and very high price from pary pete/diango. They will still have their prestige but will also be the source of a huge cash sink, which the game will eventually need (likely right around the time lots of people start getting enough to buy these!)

Everyone refers to them as rares, yet when the item came out it was free for everyone? Why is everyone so dead set on having super high priced items?? If they're going to be tradeable, make them available to everyone, easily, for cheap. Otherwise**** the economy again.

"Give one to every old school player" would be the most ridiculous thing... they wouldn't even be considered rare in that case.
Rewards from Level 3 Clues (Extremely rare, mind you, rarer than 3rd age for phats, Masks and santas) is the best way to go imo.

As for the Pumpkin, easter eggs, disks and half wines.. those should just be super rare from Lvl 2 clues since they really have no other value than basically showing off to someone in a trade or bank video.. lol!

Just my thoughts, the polls will make the real changes. Can't wait!

The same mistakes are about to be made AGAIN .

Bringing rares into the game encourages players without the massive amount of money to buy them or accumulate every single one to BOT or buy gold from goldfarmers.
Rares also contribute to the ego driven aspect, You see some player with puny stats and he/she has a rare and THAT is seen as an accomplishment by many..When the real and true accomplishment in this game should be the accumulation of stats.

Rares also make the newer players feel they will never attain the wherewithal to obtain a rare.
If they absolutely must be released and I feel the majority will want them back.

Then they should only be released via Treasure Trails.

If they are released via monster killing or skill leveling then some will just continue to bot monsters or the certain skills. If done by Treasure Trails at least that makes the person behind the bot have to interact with the game at some point.

Rare Item Poll 1 (To run from midday from 11th April 2013 to midday 18th April)

1. Would you like rare items return in some form?
2. If you vote for rare items to return, would you like the currently tradable rare items to remain tradable?

-------

If more than 75% vote NO for Q1, will you continue with the second set of poll questions?

How will you decide which method of poll #2 goes through if more than two get 75%? The highest?

How about everyone does some kind of random holiday event, whatever jagex has in mind or what the majority of players like, and the rewards would be a random rare for each player.(the tradeable ones).

Then the untradeable holiday items can come as they have before with their events.
