Plz just please don't do this, for those who spend a lot of hours time and effort a lot of these buffs hurt more than help any. This is a game from my childhood when y'all changed it the last time I quit many many many players quit, this community needs to be heard I'm a pvm player with many hours under my belt hell I pay for a year at a time, the blowpipe debuff is unrealistic I ask and I beg of you to read through all these posts on this form this is going to hurt this game and the community this is not going to help at all, mid-level players will suffer for this including lower and higher. To take away the people's vote and implement these new changes is a bad idea. This is not what the game was founded on and in my opinion and as I read others you're changing the game in the wrong direction, this is a slippery slope with no handles to grab onto on the way down, you're making a mockery of the time and effort of hundreds and hundreds of players. Do I believe that there needs to be a diversity of armors used of weapons used yes I do. But that should be my choice that should be the people's choice not your choice. There's 101 other things that need to be fixed other than what you have proposed such as taking bots out of the game in a more efficient way, do something about the damn hellhounds!!! The crappiest task that cost you and yet one of the most given in the game! How about the scammers let's try taking the scammers out, the gold Farmers how about them? duplication destroying the economy hmmmm..... Etc etc etc. Please for the love of RuneScape please don't destroy this game, it would be the equivalent of destroying lives if you think about it, once time spent cannot be gained back. Oh! How about making free to play more enticing to new players, let's try making it better for the players, not harder for us to see this as a second type of life, as one stated one cannot quit this game only AFK and if AFK for life.... We become dead content, and so does RuneScape You never really quit RuneScape, your only AFK for now. See u soon!

Blk hide update is fine, but leave the blessed hides from clues the same stats, that way clues have significant value

Twisted bow nerf is too little. You're nerfing the only thing close to it by leaps and bounds (blowpipe), making it even more op than it already was. You need to reduce the damage further.

Blowpipe nerf I actually DO prefer you just remove the rapid attack option (replace with a second accurate). What you do to it after is up for debate, but I thinking perhaps slightly buff the str value of darts and slightly nerf the accuracy of the weapon.

Neitiznot faceguard nerf is really pointless given the serp buff you *polled* so I think it's much better to just nerf them both by 1 str if you're going to nerf the neit faceguard.

I think the range attack penalty change on armor isn't far enough and should be even greater penalty.

All the other changes seem good, though the warhammers needing str instead of attack is weird, but has high "flavor" value. Not sure if it should be done, but it sounds nice on paper. Could be problematic later on though.

The stat requirement changes are the ONLY THING out of this entire idea that won’t COMPLETELY RUIN THE GAME for tens of thousands of players. The nerfs and changes to major meta gear is the WORST IDEA you guys have had since the TRADE LIMIT in 08. You physically lost OVER HALF OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PLAYER BASE WITH THAT BAD CALL. I don’t understand how a company valued at over $500 million USD can repeatedly make HORRIBLE decisions like this! You are about to attempt to address real issues in the game by making more issues? This is one of the only game developers that can REPEATEDLY MAKE HORRIBLE DECISIONS AFTER receiving nothing but better recommendations and complete disapproval from the community.

Ps I bet anyone $5 that after this horrible change they raise the price of membership as well lolololol RustLand CC

These are cool changes! I really like the thought that went behind the mace line and lighter armor lines. I think the black d;hide and blowpipe nerfs might be slightly too much consider how expensive the blowpipe is to use, but otherwise I feel like the majority of these changes will be good for the game. I think Black d'hide definitely needed a nerf, but maybe not that extreme. Most of the people commenting are just afraid of change, don't pay too much attention to the people who misread the updates. Good stuff! It might be worth the consideration of tweaking some of the Barrows items and set effects soon, like the Ahrim's set or Torag's Hammers. I like the new requirements for the weapons, I think that's needed. I appreciate that the OSRS team realizes that Scimitars, daggers and Battleaxes have been king for so long, that trying to make variety for the rest of the weapon classes without making anything broken is genius. Please keep up these wonderful, well thought-out and polled updates! :D

This is going to be a big mistake.... Please for the love of god do not do this. Atleast poll this and let the community decide, thats what OSRS is about, not making these abrupt changes and not even letting us, the community, have a say in it. I dont want this to be EOC again with radical changes like this.

"These changes would be considered integrity changes and therefore would not be polled."

You're not polling these changes because you know most of them wouldn't pass. Why not introduce buffs to existing content that's locked behind a quest or something extracurricular?

I thought OSRS was about maintaining a Scape for us all to Rune about, that we all have the opportunity to give input on as we shape it.

Many of these changes seem like they would break current methods greatly, and it seems many of us in the community are creatures of habit. And I'd think a good portion of that playerbase wouldn't stick around to figure it all out again.

Why not try to focus more on the botting issue and the community behind that? Since that's actually adversely affecting the game in a direct way.

@Mod Ash, what are they doing to your game? I thought we were all in this together.

edit: you can never go wrong with increased level requirements, we all know that combat stats are the easiest to gain by all the max cmb accounts out there.

Some of these proposed changes are absolutely devastating and will ruin many aspects of the game. The "power creep" isn't about mid-level items like black d'hide!!!! It's about the ridiculously OP raids items. Stuff that only like .1% of players use and can afford. It's not about basic, everyday items.

I've been playing OSRS for years, and I made my first account in 2004, and this is one of the WORST proposals ever since EOC.

I disagree with the nerfs you have on the blowpipe, I primary use melee but melee isn't an option with some slayer creatures and bosses. Your changes would hurt pvm, slayers, iron men and women the most. If your issue is with pvp than change the stats on pvp worlds only. Changing it would not make the crystal weapons and armor any more popular. The ability to choose your own armor and weapons setups is what makes osrs unique and fun. Trying to make us buy unwanted items would ruin and cheapen our experiences. (As a customer service rep irl) It will hurt the game more than it will help, you cannot force your customers to buy a useless product and expect to keep your current customers....let alone attract new players. I would take a moment to study what items are popular and add new weapons to both f2p and members based off what is clearly preferred by your customers. You should focus on adding to f2p with new content like a ( mock bossing cave) to help low, mid tier players learn to boss . Please reconsider your changes.....it will hurt the community.
