Jeeeeesus fucking christ are you kidding me?

"Hmm. Changing things that have been fundamental to combat for over five years basically nuked our player base last time we tried it, and then we had to reset the game to get a bunch of people to come back. This time let's try it again, but we'll also change things from waaaay earlier, even from before the date we reset to in the first place. Best of all, we've been polling these types of changes for eight years now, but we'll just ram it in instead'

Actually how in the hell does this happen. Leave it alone, we're fine.

why are you guys not polling this? You polled to ask us the opinions about even changing these, but not polling for the changes themselves? Everything seems acceptable other than the dhide and bp. rather than nerfing both why not change the defense requirement for the dhide and rather than almost halving the accuracy and damage on the bp just reduce it by a smaller margin. If these are just implemented rather than a poll being done, there is going to be major blowback. Take it slow guys, why buff and nerf everything in one go....feel it out with the players dont just shove it upon us and say enjoy.

lmao @ everyone complaining about it turning into EOC or something. why wouldn't you want more weapon diversity especially since the only good crushing or stabbing weapons are the high endgame gear? i for one would love to be able to use maces or warhammers or spears especially as a PvM player while leveling up to the endgame. using a scimitar only gets old real fast.

I never go out of my to make comments on updates and such, but after reading this proposed update I have to speak up on this. I have played this game my whole life. I was there when you ruined your game the first time. Changing things like the blowpipe and attack speeds on certain weapons that have been this way for DECADES. Let me remind you of something. This is "Old School" Runescape. These are the players that you scared away the first time by making all of these major changes to your game. I am all about new content but at the same times I enjoy logging in and having the same game I fell in love with before you ruined RS2. Honestly, that is why this game mode exists. STOP TRYING TO RUIN YOUR OWN GAME.

Forcing through such drastic changes while on the same poll asking if people want an ability be able to "Search" for items on a completion log... We wanted polling for a reason, so WE control how the game WE play GOES! Don't ruin Runescape, POLL ALL CHANGES!

If there are concerns with power creep a better approach would be having bosses be weak to a specific combat style and attack style. This would allow a lot of niche items to be created in the future. As an example if melee is intended to be used at Bandos it would be much easier to just increase its ranged defence and make it weak to stab as an example and create new gear that excels in stab accuracy and damage. Dihn's bulwark and black d'hide being nerfed just sounds like an attempt to appease the pvp community which admittedly do need more attention in certain regards. The way to handle this is to encourage more pvp activities instead of a never ending cat and mouse game between pvmers and pvpers. The wildy should still have risk that is the bread and butter of the game but making pvmers defenseless against clans does not solve the issue but rather creates further divide in the community. Lastly, the elephant in the room the toxic blowpipe. While the item is clearly overpowered in many unintended areas it would be a much better idea to simply make bosses immune to it than complete nerf it to the point of obsoleteness. A huge personal concern of mine is the inferno as I have gotten to zuk 6 times in a row now and am currently learning the healer part. The waves already take around 2 hours and without a blowpipe they would take much longer. The inferno should remain extremely difficult but not having a blow pipe for the healer phase and killing the rangers at zuk would make it much much harder. A nerf to the blowpipe would therefore be completely unfair to people who are pet hunting or still going after their first cape. Lastly, while I understand not needing a poll to fix things like bugs that are found within the game this is different. The players are the customers that know their product and it should be up to them to make decisions regarding game content instead of assuming it is for the best of the game. That same assumption was made with EOC.

I never take time to reply to updates because we Poll them! if you do this your making the same kind of mistake you made with EOC < killed the game for a long time and it's just now recovering. I agree with level requirement changes but you can't just go around nerfing our gear that has been the same for ages. i've been a player for 15 years! this is a mistake!
