The whole point of Old School Runescape is for it to be OLD SCHOOL. If you want new content and new combat skills go to the new version and ruin it some more. Please leave this version as it is suppose to be.
If the new builds setup becomes a thing, i'll be in favour of a one time only -exp lamp (about -500 xp or less, xp gained from quest not included) to reset my 2 def, as it is not from a quest but misclick.
"While our initial proposal aimed to open up more of the game and give a wider appreciation (and hopefully encourage wider participation) towards restricted builds, members of the 10 HP community and wider community alike pointed out that our proposal would effectively reduce the unique progression of these accounts to whacking Sand Crabs and eating a little more often.
I do agree that having 10hp accounts be able to just smack low level mobs for XP would take away from the "prestige" of these accounts. However, you can currently get high rates of combat xp in any combat stat and it scales with levels. You can get 360+ zeals/hr from soul wars without having to get any XP. in a relatively chill way.
If the game were still in the state of pre-zeah gangs and pre-soul wars. Then I can understand this. However we already got content into the game that has broken the XP barrier wide open.
To unlock normal combat to these accounts will simply turn it from an Active to a slower AFK training method. However you will unlock a lot of cool new unique endgame content.

In addition to this, we've seen concerns that massively improving the ease of creating such accounts could have knock-on effects in PvP scenarios, especially at lower combat brackets. Where currently the only way to make a 'reliable' 10 HP Pure for PvP is to make an Iron, gated behind thousands of hours of progress, our proposal would knock this number down into the hundreds and could prove damaging to PvP at lower levels - something we're especially cautious of with Bounty Hunter on the horizon."
This is probably the most idiotic reason to not allow for official 10hp accounts.
1. Ironmen that participate in PvP cannot get any Loot/Reward. And has no reason to do it outside of "Fun".
2. Knocking a 1000+ hr journey into a few hundred is not a bad thing when the only point is to PvP with said account. You will still have the 1000+ journey on ironman accounts, and that will still be prestigious. Just how a Maxed UIM/HCIM/IM is more prestigious than a Maxed normal account.
3. It will not hurt the lower bracket of PvP.
A 10hp account has 15hp to play with and will easily be one shotted by anything that hits them. They will risk all their gear on a single auto attack and cannot stay within the wilderness at any point outside of when they pounce. If they use a special attack during their rush, they will be blocked from teleporting and die.
4. It will bring back enjoyable early game builds that does not require a stupid amount of investment for a couple of hours of fun before the xp gained has ruined the account.
5. The PvP community will adapt to these new glasscannon builds. Vengance and recoils will end their life. (Rework typeless damage to give kill credit thanks.).
6. 10hp accounts is a true Pure account. It embodies the pure essence of a full offensive account, and it is a terrible shame that such a build can never be used in PvP or PvE scenarios because it gets ruined after dealing 154 damage.

I just want the ability to do some diaries on my 1 DEF 1 PRAYER pure. If you trace back the long length of requirements for some quests or diaries, it all falls back on having prayer/prayer quests. Teleporting to the falador cabbage patch for my herb run is impossible, because it requires Fairy Tales quests.
Great IDEA ~ Foraging ~ to earn xp you'd have to search fields/forests/mountains/beaches for various herbs,foods,minerals,etc etc. Herbs can tie into making new potions, minerals for new jewelry, foods/berries for pies or somethin idk, Thoughts?
