They aren't polling actually nerfing the gmaul, they are polling making you pay more to use the gmaul with 50% spec. Basically they are trying to make people risk more without saying it. This update will have no effect on combos lol. They are literally trying to re-poll the clamp without calling it the clamp and without the added bonuses. I honestly wish they would just re-poll the clamp and make the gmaul a little stronger, so we get even more savage combos :)

I Really hope that the G maul Nerf doesn't come to a poll. This weapon has an entire subculture in osrs attached to it. Please for the love of god do not go down that road. G.maul pking and combo-ing is an art form.

Are you dumb or just stupid? Look at the scaling of magic armor and melee armor and then compare it to range. Range should be tiered to mystics, but it is currently the same as karils which would be the same as giving mystics the same bonuses of Ahrims. However, if you knew anything about the game mechanics you would know that the success of a magic attack is rolled off of your opponents magic level, not their total magic defense. Therefore, the issue is not black d hides at all, it the fact that magic attack depends on your opponents literal magic level. So no, people not catching freezes has nothing to do with being lazy or not having enough risk, it has to do with poorly designed mage mechanics. Please read understand the basic mechanics of the game before posting on PVP update page, which is clearly not an area of the game you play.

Stop shoving down failed polls down our throats.

If you're going to remove unskulling, make it on BH worlds only. Makes no sense for me to walk around skulled just to do the Death Altar clue steps.

The Proposed Black D hide nerf is ridiculous. How is the difference between +50 magic defense verses +65 magic defense a "slight" increase? Karils magic defense is far superior. It would make sense for the melee bonuses of black d hide to be reduced, but Karils provides FAR more magic defense. People who struggle to catch freezes on hides are either lazy and don't bring enough switches and/or are too cheap and hardly bring any risk. Plenty of people with mystics catch like every freeze on me, people in xeric robes shouldn't be able to do so. If black d'hide is getting nerfed, nerf xeric robes, mystics, the dds and the rune crossbow if you honestly believe cheap items should have no utility. Speaking of the Avernic Defender Hilt ( no issue with the proposed change), while you're at it increase its value because items such as a bulwark protect over it.

make toxic trident usable against players in the wilderness, magic has no real weapons that can be used with vengeance

make snare f2p because a 5 second bind does nothing in f2p

remove the timer halving effect on bind spells when having mage prayer on. Make it like deadman. No need to poll, integrity change.

So Jagex wants more people to vote but then insists on making integrity changes despite poll outcomes. What's the point of voting if you're going to make the decision anyway?

Well, at least the game is still fun for the next few months. Lots of other classic games to move on to after that.

Hello, i'm a long time vet, low-mid level pker ,addressing the bounty hunter issue, i agree a rework is in order.

First and foremost, bots are are the main problem, i regularly see hundreds of them farming emblems, each one having about 20-50 bots scripting while the one or two killing are sometimes active on the account, as soon as a pker comes or a problem arrises they will either modify their script or stop the bots, or even completely ignore them. Many of these people do this to sell runescape currency for real life currency, how do i know them? I have asked them in game and they respond, i click the report, and a few days later they still not banned

Fix: jajex, sometimes gold old fashion instant manual banning is in order, take note that they are clearly breaking two rules seen to the naked eye. While obvious, botting, thought some evidence is needed, and secondly, emblem farming which is also a server offense, which can't be denied by their actions. While it won't stop, each bot banned is 4m coins(bonds) taken out of the economy, and the the same time decreasing the profits gained from the bitter/scriptor emblem farming

Secondly: I completely agree with unable to use traps,boxes, eat in high wildy, before any skillers rage, did is only applied to the BH world, you have 100 others words were you can do it, and it will also decrease the number of bots. The main purpose of anyone joining the bh world is to do bh, other deep wild content can be done in other worlds.

Thirdly: The BH teleport, currently is lvl 85 magic required, its completely useless to pure's or lower levels BH hunters, i would suggest lowing the magic level, or even making it like the home lumbridge teleport, free of experience, but has a cool down time of a few min.

Fourthly: increase the special move teleblock timer, currently, by the time someone rushes and finished their combo, their teleport timer is up and the other player is either dead of healing hp and had time to fight

There are many other improvements and things i can think of to attract people to bounty hunters, as well as possible rewards, but many issues due to bots and abuse of mechanics needs to be fixed first.

I would like to add, the wilderness is suppose to be a dangerous place, where their is high risk of death, hence the death skull sign everyone now ignores. It is not a place to go to if you're not willing to lose your items. It is Bounty Hunters, the winner takes it all, while the loser losses it all.

Suggestion, for cosmetics, make them item with stats equal to currently common used bounty items, or make them be able to add to current popular equipment. To counter any abuse, make them non tradable, only people who truly have earned the bounty hunter reputation should be able to wear them and show them off to inspire others to work to get it. At the same time, the untreatable armor should work live void amor, if you die, then you need to use coins to repair armor and maybe bh points to get it again. As for the killer, they should get a decent amount of the wealth used to repair or buy those untreatable items.

I'm actually going to quit the game if the gmaul update goes through. My account will basically be useless and I don't want to be sent on yet another long rs grind for a bajillion bh points or whatever the slayer option was.

f2p teleblock is awesome

You would quit if the granite maul no longer consumes only 50% of the special attack bar?
You're not the first person I have heard say that, but what a laughable excuse. As if the dragon weapons (dagger, claw, mace, hally, longsword etc) don't exist? As if AGS isn't an option? As if there aren't 20+ other melee weapons available?

What baffles me more is how anyone gets enjoyment from being a level 60 who only ever pks with a msb and granite maul.
