dragon equipment has lore, fairys being one of the only sources of dragon to gielinor.

Areas like dorg/ape have storys surrounding them.

An open city like Ardy has neither.

Just add a check or starting obstacle that checks for 20 defence or something.

This here goes to show your ONLY purpose is to exclude pures/lvl 3s.
I seriously am not seeing why there is so much hatred for them when after all it's just a game that we should all be able to play the way we want.

Sure we are restricted, that makes it more entertaining... but we are restricted from combat updates, combat anything... not skills that we already train.

No one hates pure skillers this is high content that needs some kind of requirement to join and use it.. and your restricted to a lot more then combat rofl.. explain how you can only do wildy course as a skiller for best xp but nothing better?? The whole point to lv 3 skiller is to challenge yourself and know and understand you'll have these restrictions.. adding a strength combat requirement to get on the roofs would make more sense then defence as dont agility shortcuts you need a certain agility/ranged/or strength lv to use the shortcut???? ranged to grapple, agility for obvious reasons, and str so your strong enough to get over the obstacle i think a strength lv requirement would be nesecarry to use the new agility courses i hope jagex puts something into consideration because a good update isnt just the update itself a good update is something that is well planned out thought out and how its updated into the game.. If they dont add it into the game with some kind of requirement even if the requirement is small then this will be such a sloppy update to be honest and it will upset more people then satisfy to have something sloppy updated into the game.

Ye it should check for atleast 1 def and maybe 1 att and or 1 str or maybe 10 hp and 1 prayer too

NO WAY! They should at least check for 99 all combat stats.. not to mention all skills to 99 too.

That should keep the NOOBS out!

Hmm those requirements seem kinda low tho. I'd say they need to have atleast 200m Slayer xp. We don't want just ANY level getting in on the fun

Rs3 J mods may be sloppy. But to call our 07 Jmods sloppy is completely ignorant! They bend over backwards to try and make every game update gr8! You can hate on skillers all you want but DO NOT CALL OUR JMODS SLOPPY!

LOL Devaluing a lvl 3's 99 agility. Im sorry but adding 10-20k more xp per hr wont devalue it asmuch as RS3 has devalued ALL 99's. If you think skill updates wont come to 07 that will devalue skills, then you as sadly mistaken. Agility is just the first, so sit back and enjoy the ride

actually adding 10k-20k is a massive devalue and it will devalue it just like rs3.. agility is many of the skills that will slightly be devalued no one wants the rest of the skills devalued.. if you think the skills will be devalued your pretty dumb. If there is no players left no one can sit back and enjoy the ride

Plenty of ppl will enjoy the ride. If you think new skill updates wont devalue any skills, then stop playing RS and get some FRESH AIR. ANY new skill update to 07 has a chance to devalue the skills. Live with it and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Personally, I feel Old School should retain the style of game play with restrictions imposed for content. It's what gives value to it. To need to play other parts of the game enough to unlock the specific quests and rewards for doing that.

So, adding quest requirements to similar or better courses than existing ones makes sense.

The Old School game formula shouldn't be strayed from. Near everything should have requirements, just like near everything does in Old School. That's what makes Old School so rewarding to play and keeps people going!

There are considerable goals to achieve and they aren't short-term or just doing one thing, but require many requirements in many skills and multiple quests quite often to unlock higher level content. Ape Atoll agility course is a prime example to follow - it requires a very difficult quest to unlock, so should these higher XP giving courses.

The current XP rates seem pretty fair and the clothing good too. I look forward to trying for grace marks, though for future ideas, a little more variety on temporary rewards purchasable by them might be interesting...(For example: a few minutes worth of no-fail for X grace marks).

completely right if they dont start adding requirements if newer content ever does keep coming it will upset so much people and make them unhappy the game might go in a backwards state even more if they dont realise anything needs restrictions and requirements to know and understand that thats something that makes old school runescape old school. Its all about the achievements and how hard nice they are thats keeping this game here still. I hope they do realise this :/.

Perhaps you could add a tax to use these courses? So perhaps you have to pay like 50k to use a course for an hour; you could scale this up for higher leveled courses. The quest requirements could be an alternative so that completing a quest such as the Freminick Trials gives a discount or free entry. This allows level 3s to use the content but as they wish to hinder their own gameplay they are still not receiving the most efficient gameplay simply because they don't have the discount/free entry.
(+ this too would act like a goldsink and for those who are thrifty, they would still have access to the existing courses and therefore this wouldn't make pre-existing content meaningless)

Adding requirments is not really the issue. It's requirments that exclude certain players.

Here is an idea.
ADD a TOTAL LVL requirement. One that will allow skillers access with enough skill lvls.
I've said this a few times now but no one wants to accept anything that gives lvl 3s a chance at new content.

Not a bad idea. Lvl 3's would lose more gp but gain more xp. A rather fair trade tbh.
