No to the random event change, its one of the reasons I came back. I missed the pickaxe breaking and etc.

Yes to Barbarian Assault changes.

I'm not sure about the Veracs I like the randomness of it but I think it would be nice to have a new animation. I'm leaning towards no however.

I'll be voting NO to removing dangerous Randoms and removing the gameplay of dealing and handling Randoms as they are part of the unique Old School RS experience.

A better option would be a simple toggle so that players can choose when and if they want to play with Randoms on or not - rather than removing some and changing the game to safe-mode without a choice. This would also ensure that new/returning players that haven't experienced Old School would still be able to get that fun in the future, while allowing those who are jaded with Randoms to turn them off.

Perhaps with a level requirement to ensure new bots to the market have to be programmed to deal with them still and make the entry rate of new bot designs lower.

When Randoms were removed in RS3 within a month or two there was a dramatic increase in bots. It just makes it so much easier for anyone to write a simple script that doesn't need to bother dealing with Randoms any more and thus, all the players will suffer from a greater amount of auto-clickers, bots, etc. that aren't caught by other means.

Hi,

If the vote fails on altering the randoms, I won't cry one little bit as I totally enjoy them. Tho, I'm not a big fan of the maze. Most of the proposal is a great idea, but if it passes I will miss the aggressive randoms if they retire entirely. I for one love getting to kill thm. Its taken me a while to figure just how to do each one without getting killed myself.

I felt a real sense of doing something the first time I took on and beat the river troll using my Dremen Staff as my weapon, while fish on Karajama.

So I will be voting no, not because I don't want things to change, but because I enjoy the randoms.

Perhaps there could be a toggle added to the settings that could allow or not allow the player to get any of them so WE the players could decided each time we start gaming if we want random events or not. And if we forget that the randoms are turned off, then there are np real surprises.

Just a thought as a compromise between those of us who enjoy the randoms and those who don't.
