I'm having trouble understanding why recent updates from RS3 are going to potentially make OSRS. I played OSRS because it isn't like pre-eoc or RS3. I've never even heard of co-op slayer and I thought we weren't going to go down the bonus experience route. All the bonus experience for completing task faster will do is reward those who already gain fast experience because they have enough money to train efficiently.

Because it's what "the players want" aka the twenty people on the forums everyday that ask for curses and overloads, along with summoning.

This question may be common knowledge to others, but I'm curious, is every holiday event going to reward players with "rares"?
I remember someone telling me that JaGeX doesn't want rares to be a part of OSRS.
Is this true? If so, can anyone tell me why?

Wow - this is a lot of content. I like the idea of re-designing the slayer helm, as MANY hardcore slayers do not like the RS3 helm. I support the idea of knowing how many of which slayer monsters you've killed, and also the cooperative slaying. I would be okay with strykewyrms being added as long as they do not have a new item dropped.

BROAD BOLTS: these are a very big concern to me. If they are released and usable for any monster, that will heavily devalue mith ores, mith bars, addy ores, addy bars, coal, and of course mith/addy bolts. PLEASE ONLY MAKE BROAD BOLTS USABLE FOR KURASKS AND TUROTHS! You made the smart decision of removing noted bar drops from Aviansies to avoid obliterating the prices of addy bars and bolts, so please continue to protect the value of said items by making broad bolts limited to task-specific use.

TWO NEW SLAYER MONSTERS: I'm all for them IF they don't drop more combat related gear. In the past 2 months there's been more than enough new combat items introduced. A skill-related item would be awesome. A quick idea would be something similar to the water tiara that can act as water skins in the desert.

TIMED SLAYER TASKS: Yes, but why an xp reward? Why not 1.5x the points instead? Slayer isn't meant to be easy.

AUTO-KILL GARGOYLES, ROCK SLUGS, ETC. : Yes.

SLAYER HELM IMBUE OPTION: Yes obviously. Please make sure it's possible to create a slayer helm with an already imbued black mask, as spending another 1.2M NZ points would be unnecessary and a huge nuisance.

GOD WARS PETS: NO. This makes absolutely no sense within RS-lore. Why would there be a baby pet of Graar'dor? It's lame. Please vote no to this...

I like the options you're giving us, but this is a hell of a lot all at once. Thanks for the work you're all putting in though.

Another thing about all these updates is there are rewards without any requirements. I'm not totally against the whole point system, but I think it should be earned. We also haven't seen a new quest in a very long time. I just hope the rewards aren't going to be as easily accessible as they have become in the recent few updates. Give players something to work for or towards, don't just give us everything.

Also, unrelated but I don't know where to turn:

My main account, Jordxx is permanently banned from the RSOF and I don't know why. I have checked my offences and there is nothing there, and I have sent a query to Jagex a month ago with no reply... what can I do? :(
