Question 1
Would you like tradeable rare items to only be available for a limited period after their introduction?
Yes 64% (22289 votes)
No 36% (12469 votes)

From rare Item Poll #2, April 2013

Players clearly want them discontinued, not every year.

i hate to say it but i agree with dave or david rs07 or i cant remember his name lol but i kind of agree with him that the slayer time trial update will forever destroy this game. You guys 100% said that you'd never give us xp hand outs.. and now what are you doing?? your giving us xp handouts. I would like this question of slayer to be removed and tooken out and away from the game this is not how old shool works.

Your slayer level is one, there's a difference between "giving out exp" and earning it. We aren't getting spins or anything, just a couple of monsters and a slayer helm which would make things like potions/cannonballs and certain armours rise. It's not like we are going from runecrafting in the abyss to runespan.

So based upon feedback, it seems there is a mutual agreement that not getting two of every partyhat alongside two of all the other tradeable Christmas items is not the prefered idea.

So instead, we've gone back to the original drawing board plan and are ofeering two of every partyhat, an untradeable rainbow partyhat AND an untradeable Black partyhat. We'll throw the rainbow one in for good measure but you will not need to cut up any partyhats to make it and neither will it retain any street value, it'll just become another untradeable vanity 'rare'.

We've also looked at some of the slayer feedback and there's been some concern over the introduction of additional XP when completing a task quickly through time trial slayer. Instead, we'll go down the route of offering additional points and leave the XP rates exactly as they are.

We've also taken extra feedback on board and are adding the slayer gem to the slayer mask allowing you to right click the helmet to see how many kills you have left giving the helm the same options as the gem. This will be inclusive when building the helmet.

How does that sound?

Sounds like a plan, maybe not additional exp for times slayer tasks, maybe just more points instead.

Reach what about the slayer challenges, for example Kuradal would give a 280 tzhaar creatures task and if you killed jad you would get 25k bonus slayer xp.

Also why is there no question about adding a new slayer master? Add a new slayer master which requires 75 slayer
