grimys were changed to unids the day after 07 was released I had grimy herbs First day, Unids were dropped 2nd day so the actual vote in the first place was stupid , they'd already changed it , just offering us the opportunity to have it changed back. Perhaps that vote would have gone differently if they started with grimy's like they were when 07 was released then offered us Unids instead. And u tell me im *misinformed*

Grimys were actually originally introduced sept 07, same time as this.

Voting 'yes' to tradeable Rares and how they were originally distributed. Rares are a major part of Runescape History and were a huge part of 2007. It should remain the way it was as this server is technically a 'snapshot' of what the game was at this particular time. Tradeable Rares were apart of this particular time.

I want the rares to be untradable so that theres less encouragement for bots to continue botting and less greed in the community

Keep it a innocent fun item like chicken suit.

Yes to Tradeable Rares

BUT
-No to rare drop from monsters or clue scroll reward. This isn't fair for level 3 skillers or players that cant do clue scroll or high level enough to kill a certain levels of monsters.


THE BEST SOLUTION:

-Distribute the tradeable rares back in form of how it was done back in 2001-2004

Exactly. The unfair part was the fact that they had released the game with grimy in the first place. Took a lot of complaining for them to even revert them back to unids, and took way longer than a day, as you say. Once they did the right thing, and reverted it back, they then gave us a vote, and unids won, simple as that. The point is, it was supposed to be released with unids, so it shouldn't have been the other way either way.

Also, the 07 servers are from August, not September, grimy entered the game on the 10th of September.

Yes alot of complaining.. my point .. this is just gonna lead e1 to complain till they all get what they want and this will end up another eoc but without the sof / combat.

In another year we'll be able to see what else the complainers got. for now i'll enjoy the old school.

1. yes
2. remain tradeable
3. I think the only way to be fair with everybody would be to randomly put 1 tradable rare item in every account bank. This way, they will remain discontinued and with the time they will increase in value. The fact that everybody got one from the start mean the economy won't be affected and everybody skiller/pmer/pvper/new to the game will have the chance to get one and trade it if they want to.

Putting them in holiday event would also work but the next holiday event is in more then 6 month and the sooner the better. And now that people know that those will worth they will get load during event and they wont worth anything because everybody will have a load of them. which is why one rare per account would be the best solution to keep them rare!

Putting them in treasure trail advantage pvmers,
Putting themrare loot from skill advantage skillers,
putting them buyable from shop advantage BOTTERS,


I also want to say that if you want 75% concensus for this vote to pass it will never happen with so many options and differents opinions.
