People need to stop saying "pkers and pvmers don't vote no! This is for skillers!"

Well, I love pvm. But I'm also a skiller - and this skill would ruin the game on so many fronts. This isn't just a skill to boost your total level, people. There's a lot of game changing content we'll have to face later on. Stop thinking you're so high and mighty because you're finally getting an update. The killing side, in my opinion, does NOT need to be changed. As soon as it is it'll be easier and that takes away from the accomplishments we've already done.

I agree that this skill destroy the game . So what do you think the game should be called because it is not Runescape 07 any more . Maybe runescape half 07 + stupid updates . Just update the other 1 not runescape partly 07.

This is why I stopped calling it 07 scape and started calling it old school, but a lot of updates, such as this new skill, the new continent, bounty hunter, don't feel as old school but I'm glad that the bigger ones such as this new skill have a large opposition and probably won't come in and ruin the game, It's just a shame we have to go through such a long process to get the devs to understand we don't want it RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

Too meta level content.

When RuneScape started... One of the things that was different those days:
Developers had to justify meta content with "Magic" or some other careful explanation.
Nowadays you collect Achievement Points or something, a meta system within the meta system of Experience Points. I'm sure it works psychologically to keep players in a flow state and addicted, but it's not too beautiful to be honest.

Sometimes I wish NPC's had more story than acting as a missing GUI component.
Sometimes I wish skills were logical like Strength or Woodcutting. Now you take a design of flawed content (Slayer) and before release, you already have planned fixes for the problem that wouldn't have to be there in the first place (problem of blocking skills).
Why would that Master Artisan not assign people skills of a certain tasks? Some things make sense, like certain weapons make more damage and certain rocks take longer to mine. But nowadays you got all kinds artifacts that just do some random stuff, more in line with the game mechanics than the actual imaginary world.
Things like teleporting from chat, prospector and lumberjack outfits, leprechauns, etc...

I HOPE this does not pass at all. It will ruin the purpose of oldschool. I don't want new player to come in and ruin a game worshipped by old veterans.

So you hope not to see OSRS grow and new players being able to experience why OSRS is such a damn good game? Cmon people, if jagex didn't have an osrs team it would be completely stale and less people would play. Adding artisan into osrs would definitely bring new players or veterans to OSRS.

Basically artisan is a variation of slayer but for skillers. It does nothing to hinder what we currently have in osrs. The rewards are sightly debatable, but content wise it is nothing new compared to what we currently have. Besides, adding new contents such as quartz rocks, elm trees, 2h crossbows, etc would be great additions to the current game.

Stop being such a sour puss and vote YES !

In my opinion, it's too early to release a new skill even if it's not game-breaking. I know this is business and Jagex want to attract more people from the RS3 community, but keep in mind that most of the players in the OSRS community are veteran players. We came back to OSRS, because most of us didn't like the mechanics of EOC or wanted to experience the old days again. Everything was better in the old days, just ask your grandparents. :P

What i would like to see is balanced improvements of content and skills that has already been released. We don't want anything game-breaking and that is why we THE players are picky on big updates like this.

Thank you for consulting us before releasing updates, Jagex. This wasn't the case back in the old days.

How is it possible that you have not learned from your previous mistakes? Leave OSRS alone. Someone really needs to consult these guys and pull their heads out of their rear ends. At the end of the day the only thing that really matters is money, and if you guys keep messing with OSRS you will continue to lose even more subs than you already have. Add the new skill to that pile of trash you call EOC or RS3, leave OSRS ALONE!
