Whilst I was earlier leveling-up with portables, there was some people trollin'* with high amount of fires, and other group intentionally cluttering screen with their drakes.

*Intentionally placing fires as soon as portable(s) ran out, in attempts to prevent new ones being placed.

So, if this can get rid of one group, drakes, I'm all for it.

And then what? Do you really think this accomplishes something positive long term? If your would-be solution to trolling is to try and "decommission" their trolling "tools", all you end up doing is punishing the innocent players, because the trolls will find more ways to troll people with. In fact, some of the trolls are hoping that their actions influence Jagex to do certain changes to the game, as it gives them the satisfaction that they were important enough to warrant said changes. Know what that means, right? Even if you don't care about whether they win like that or not, they'll keep doing it to get even further satisfaction.

If you actually want to make a dent in that trolling, ban them and ignore them. Disruptive behavior is against the rules, is it not? No need to devalue the drakes for those who don't troll with them, nor to make a bigger mess of the game's settings, just focus on those individuals. :P

Well, it'd be nice if some action would be taken, but seeing how during my few days of portable skilling, same scammer logged daily there with her normal "advertisements" , I kind of find it hard to believe that they'd do something against minor offenders.

Most of the time people don't even seem to have their Drakes, nor any smaller pets out, but somehow it's necessary to summon them just there. With some people intentionally getting their Drakes stuck in such position that it'd block bank chest as much as possible.

Yes, Blackwing, it does leave a positive long term effect.

Drakes, primarily, and all other pets, can no longer be the cause of a person's gameplay being disrupted by lag. It's not a negative consequence to any Drake or pet owner, because it does nothing to take away from the owner.

If you want us to make a dent in trolling, you want us to ban the trolls? You want to ban people for having a drake out? Why? None of us do, we offered a solution that's positive for those being bothered that DOESN'T ban players.

If it satisfies the trolls to say there was a toggle made just to make their trolling stop, let them be satisfied, along with us being satisfied that they can't troll us anymore.

Oh, and about your 'disruptive behavior is against the rules' don't think people have tried that? You do realize that rule is meant for spamming the chat box, right? You are also aware almost nobody ever gets in trouble for that rule, let alone banned from it, especially if they use it for you having a drake out.. You really didn't think that through... did you?

If you turn off familiar options, you can still click on chest.
So this brings up an interesting point.

Look guys, Draco pointed out that there exists a toggle that stops one method of trolling caused by pets. People use them to block the bank chests, so Draco tells us to use A TOGGLE that let's us click through them. Now we may click the chest!

Isn't it great when toggles are there to make individual people's lives better?

It wouldn't make anybody angry. Just like turning off pet options doesn't bother anybody.

Point is, it literally only affects the user of the toggle and there is nothing changed about anybody else. So you need to get over yourself and stop forcing your pet on everybody around you.

Just that ppl who want this "toggle" are the ones angry as they for some reason don't like drakes.

Also the only one forcing you to do anything is yourself so I don't get where you think anyone else plays a role in that?

Those reasons have been clearly stated throughout the thread.

Forcing is meant to be done by those players who disagree with ability to toggle off certain pets by other players which do not want to see them, as they are for given reasons unpleasant to them.

Exactly, those drake fans would not even know who blocks their cosmetic followers.
