I see the wording has changed to distinguish the difference between tradable and not tradable items

I thank you for considering my opinion on how the wording was not clear

the wording now clearly gives a person a choice between the 2 catagorys.

the first question answers the question do we want them in the first place.

the second question answers if some of the items be tradable

which is really the most important questions

as tosh.o says... for that we thank you

Number 8. have them appear as very rare drops when skilling, that gives every player in the 07 community a chance to get a rare without the more greedy players getting multiple rares at a time and hoarding them all at once.

Clues could have a new reward like a ticket that you turn into Django who gives you a random item during big holidays ex: Easter, Halloween, Christmas. (week before/week after the holiday)

Easy clues can be very quick to get/do. (1 out of 750 to get a ticket) -level 1 clues give a ticket(1) that picks from a list of less wanted rares ex: purple phat, green hween, pumpkin, disk of returning, easter egg.

Gaurds/low level slayer monsters.(1-500 drop rate) -Level 2 clues give a ticket(2) that give a chance at higher tier rares. ex: yellow phat, green phat, blue hween, red hween, santa or a random rare from the level 1 list.

Higher requirements/ a lot more rewards you could possibly get.(1-250 drop rate)-level 3 clues give a ticket(3) that gives a chance of the more desireable rares such as: blue, white, red phat, cracker, half full jug of wine or any random item from the level 1 or 2 list.

For the untradeables I say add them into the game how they were back then. If you did the easter event this year you can collect bunny ears from Django.
You say 07 is here to stay so spread things out so people have something to look forward to. Getting all the untradeables at once would be boring, it's nice to stop training/pking for 30 minutes to go back in time and celebrate a holiday with the community. So when you see the item in your bank or on your character you atleast have the memories of a holiday irl or ingame.

Either way I could live without the tradeable rares but they are fun and look nice so I will vote yes on bringing them in.

"The biggest challenge for us was how to deal with all the “ifs* that were out there, “I would like rares back if….” and we wanted to put out this Dev Blog to show you why the upcoming vote for rare items will be the way it is.

Simply asking if rare items should come back isn’t going to answer the question properly."

--

That quote is from the opening post.

Clearly, the biggest challenge for you IS how to deal with the 'if*' that ARE here, and clearly, you failed to address MANY of those 'ifs' in this devblog.

You state a clear understanding that simply asking if they should come back isn't properly addressing the issue and yet that is the FIRST question you will put on a poll.

You KNOW that many people have said they want rares back IF... whatever their own reasoning is... yet you won't poll those 'ifs' FIRST. WHY?

HOW, they are brought back is as important, if not more so, than IF they are brought back.

Tradeable or NOT, is as important, if not more so, than IF they are brought back.

This is underhanded and deceiptful. You first will insist people vote yes or no to bringing them back.. and you want anyone to believe you have properly addressed ANY of the 'ifs' surrounding this issue?

This could quite easily be where you lose 25 to 50% of the OS players.. and all because you won't properly address the questions in this rares poll.

You're taking away the percentage requirement, for 2 thirds of this poll.

I am.. more than disappointed.. in what JAGEX is going to do to this old game. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

Q: Would you like rare items return in some form?

A: Yes.


Q: If you vote for rare items to return, would you like the currently tradeable rare items to remain tradeable?

A: I want the tradeable rare items.


Q: How would you like rare items return?

A: Through holidays events like it did 'back in the days'.
Distribute them using similar mechanics as you did before (dropping them, holiday events)

What i think would be a good idea would be to make a clue scroll like the elite clue in the eoc runescape except to call it a Clue scroll (rare) instead easy medium hard and have all of the rare items that was listened in it and have it like half as hard to get then a 3rd age item i think this would be pretty cool and the rare items wont be given out to everyone bc look how many years it took for the rares to be worth something on eoc runescape im foshow voting for the cluse scroll one! hope you guys do the same

Question 2 is rigged.

If it hits 75% support.. rares will be tradeable...
