sad
all the talk/comments mean nothing.

just leave things alone.
If you feel the "need"
create something new that is useful. [then leave it alone]
you can create a new item if you feel the need.

Ok i like the idea of preventing power creep but the stat changes on the bp are insane. its not even a meta wep like scythe or twisted bow. Can we please reconsider the stat changes for bp? I would recommend 50 or 45 accuracy and 30 range str. and for ironmen this will be a hard blow if the stats are lowered to 30 acc and 25 str. lowering the stats that much would be changing the item too much.

honestly jagex, you have such a great game, but your management of the game is just so awful. please be more creative, make more gp sinks. make the bp drop rate a little harder, add the necessity for gp to recharge the bp (nothing drastic). I think we all want to see small changes rather than large. AND ADD STUFF TO MAKE SKILLING MORE BEARABLE! LIKE DISTRACTIONS AND DIVERSIONS.

just leave the game and items as they are.
If you feel the "need" or something to validate your work -

create something new that is useful.
[then leave it alone]

you can create a new item if you feel the need.
they will be fooled and buy it.

As I've said in a bunch of thread in general chat; THANK YOU for finally nerfing the blowpipe. I think all in all this will be a great update. It's definitely going to be weird not using the blowpipe and black dhide to mow everything down, but on the plus it'll actually be more beneficial to use the army cross and tbow for once on stuff. For the cost, I feel like it should be given the crossbow and tbow should be better. Not just against Cerb, brutals and stuff. But EVERYTHING. I love the blowpipe. Its my go to. But lets be honest, the range accuracy and damage right now are just almost impossible to compete with. And its fairly cheap to use.

Love y'all, keep up the good work.
To the community: Just be patient guys. I'm sure if its a major fail and doesn't work out, countless hours will be spent to fix it.

GOLDEN OPPURTUNITY FOR GOLD SINK AND CRYSTAL WEAPONRY

I've played this game for years and years but sadly never had a real reason to use the crystal bow even though in my opinion its one of the coolest weapons in the game. The crystal bow needing high requirements is in a good position to overtake the blowpipe for highest dps besides end game weaponry at certain places. How cool would it be if the new dps meta at bandos was the crystal bow? Here's my suggestion: increase the price to recharge the crystal bow while giving it a good buff to make worth using in certain places. Maybe it would even require ammo to fire?

Just wondering whether making scales untradeable has been considered as a potential alternative option to these nerfs?? I know some people may disagree with this but to me its seems like a potential solution which could also combat many zulrah bots too, whilst limiting the usage of the blowpipe.

If scales were made untradeable, a new npc could be introduced where scales can be traded in for the current market price to prevent current players losing too much money. Also it would force people to actually farm zulrah for scales rather than just buying them from GE which would make the amount of blowpipe usage a just reward for time and effort spent grinding. I understand this may be a unwanted proposal for iron men, but don't iron men have to grind anway for everything? This would lock the blowpipe behind the zulrah boss in a way, which it already is with the magic fang drop and scales can be accumulated passively!

Would be interested to hear if anyone has any feedback on this idea, whether it be positive or negative!

The poll you put up was skewed the way you wanted it with the wording. This update and others to come will be the way you want it. NOT the way the community wants it. Anything that doesn't pass by the way it was supposed to for you. It will be said its a integrity issue.

I get it you think the game needs this to create more revenue to get new people but honestly. This isnt what the game needs its not what rs3 needed with EOC you seen how that turned out. It's not what the other games like funorb nor game projects you worked on needed to be profitable and to increase the longevity.

What could be done is going to steam like your doing, bringing back content we liked, letting us actually vote with a choice, leaving the things in the game the way they have been.

People like it this way its why we play the game, the people who don't are pkers and people who wont stay long. This wont help the long term longevity but instead do the opposite and slowly kill off the game a little at a time while people leave. I and many others like the game. YOU can add stuff that increases the current items without nerfing them even if its just by a little and requiring more levels. Yet, this doenst happen. You want fun, sparkly, and dramatic changes. This again will only leave people left with the same bad taste as eoc.

Add to the existing game dont take away if you cant figure out what to add poll it or get someone that can think of better things than just saying nerf things that have been in the game for a long time. I get it for some reason you cant think of a way to make money without changing the game and i get it might be hard to figure out how to level but if you took more time I'm sure it could be accomplished. If you rush and change and then say its integrity! That only serves to hurt the game and the community so if anything that is a integrity issue on your part. Add to the game dont take away dont make it worse. I am cancelling my membership after this post. RIP OSRS
:D
