Question: Should we introduce a time trial slayer mode which will reward players with additional XP if they complete their task within an allotted time period?
This allows people to use cannons and other faster methods to gain too much XP if it's scaled to speed completed - when they already gain more XP for less time anyway, favouring the richer players.
Perhaps just more slayer points and REDUCED XP to normal (to balance it)?
Question: Should your character automatically kill gargoyles, rock slugs, desert lizards and zygomites when they reach 0 health and you have the correct item in your inventory?
This should be a nice reward, but only unlockable by spending slayer points.
In general, I think things in Old School should have to be worked for and benefits should come with a balancing detriment or limit where sensible.
I like to work to gain and not be given things for nothing. Generally, convenience has reduced challenge in modern games and Old School games are meant to be challenging. It's why I like Old School RuneScape.

Most of the ideas sound awesome! I like the slayer ones, except that the new slayer monsters are ONLY for high-level slayers ( I've been busy and i'm nowhere near 80+ or 90 slayer, yet i'd love to smash my cb up and try them out.)
I also like someone's idea of adding anti-fire ability to imbued masks.
Black santa hats? C'mon.. White would be A LOT better, cuz it's a christmas relevant item afterall, not *'ween.
Rainbow phats... would be better if you don't get 6 rainbow phats by combining, because they will be way too common. 1-2 max would do the trick.
Also DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BIG WHINERS COMPLAINING ABOUT NO FREE PARTYHATS!. They are not the majority of this community and are just part of human race that want everything for free and don't think of the consequenses.
But yeah, Good Job with the poll, just don't let your imagination fly too far
It's still 2007scape, afterall.

I like the idea of bringing back the old event! I do however, think rainbow partyhats and black santa hats is a bit of a bad idea as it will crash certain items and just cause a bit of a mess. I think that everything else sounds great, but the gwd pets sounds like youre getting a bit ahead of yourselves! its still ment to be 2007 scape! thanks for updates

Not to keen about not getting p hats from event either. I think you should handle it the same way you did with halloween; 2 of each tradeable 1 of each untradeable + a new reward.
Really looking forward to the slayer update! Kind of sad to see it can take 3 months
I know it's just an estimate, but maybe you can release the update in batches. Like slayer points first month, dungeon second, etc.
Of course it all depends on how many things pass the poll.
Thanks for the blog

I agree with this
