I'm all for the idea of new agility courses, but the exp rates shouldn't be any higher then current courses have now, this would be unfair to the many dedicated people who have already gotten 99 agility. A very good friend of mine has gotten 99 agility at combat level 3, which the maximum exp per hour he could get was 30k. It's not right to ruin peoples' dedication to a skill and to ruin their accomplishments by making crazy exp rates with some new updates, as this could lead down a road similar to runespan, which upset many who achieved the highest skill level before the update.

This is OSRS, not RS3!
Us oldschool players like the slower exp rates, or else we wouldn't be playing it in the first place :) so please keep oldschool, OLDSCHOOL !

I'm sorry, but Wilderness Course can get up to the high 40k's in Xp/hr with energies or low 40k's without energies. Your friend is mistaken on the Xp rate.

I'm not really fond of the to-my-eyes overpowered rewards for completing these courses. The whole set together make your weight so much lower than how it actually was in 2007. It makes your weight -25(!), while the lowest weight back in 2007 was only -13 (penance gloves, boots of lightness and spottier cape). I think the xp-gain for doing the agility courses is already fine as a reward, an additional outfit like this isn't needful.

I don't have any complaints about the courses but in general I don't think it's needed to spend so much time on new game content for OSRS. I'm especially against content that makes the game easier; now it's an agility suit that makes your lowest weight almost double of how it used to be (-25 weight compared to -13), and next time perhaps a variant of woodcutting ivy's would be added, who knows. if this trend continues it will no longer feel as the nostalgic 2007 game; it would become another EasyScape under the name "2007" or "Old School".

Negative weight provides no additional benefit with run over 0 kg. -25kg is just as useless as -13 kg. All it means is that you can carry a few more items without consequence, items you generally won't even need in the first place.

Well I was just thinking, is it really fair to add an update to the game when it didn't even get 4k votes. You always say if you don't like then don't vote but what if we don't vote and most people don't, but you still add it to the game. Then it gives support to the people who say the polls are rigged.

You always need to have an option on polls that says I don't like these ideas.

This is getting polled again today. The last poll was just to determine which idea would then get polled again to determine if 75% want it.

You can't see people that are on a different plane in the game, whether above or below you. So obviously no, you wouldn't be able to see anyone on the roofs.

I voted for this only to avoid Storm Atronach. Had the cat quest had any chances to win, I would have voted for it instead.

So, now I'm voting no to this. The idea seems actually better than I initially thought, but 9 new courses at one update? No thanks.

so your voting no becuase of the time frame it would take to update this?

i'm at a lost for words...
