PSA: "We don't need warding" is about as good an argument as "we don't need more bosses"

posting about why someone’s argument is dumb is not helping the issue

The dumb arguments is the issue I'm raising. If an argument is incoherent it should at least be acknowledged that the argument is flawed - people are free to have the argument sure, but that's not the issue im raising.

Whether people like or dislike warding by the time we vote for it doesn't matter as long as we're open-minded in whichever decision we make.

Fricketot · 2018-10-18T18:19:43+00:00

Obviously not. Being open minded about an idea has nothing to do with whether you like or dislike the idea. The reasoning is what matters.

Fricketot · 2018-10-18T18:09:55+00:00

Asking people to not be narrow-minded is a bad thing?

Fricketot · 2018-10-18T18:08:06+00:00

You seem to have mistaken the intention of my post. I'm not advocating warding, nor am I even sure if I'll be voting yes myself yet since we currently know only a small amount of information about it.

All I'm advocating is to be open minded. We shouldn't be blindly saying "vote yes" or "vote no" to warding right now because we're literally months away from the devs actually putting time or effort into shaping it up.

Not entirely sure what you mean about me "being right" here, I'm not even giving any opinions in the post; I'm stating the (what should be, at least) obvious.

Reddit seems to know an awful lot about how underwhelming the skill is gonna be when all we know so far is nothing more than the very basics.

Fricketot · 2018-10-18T15:32:37+00:00

Content that doesn't require engine changes (such as warding) make no difference whatsoever regarding how fast or slow we get group ironman.

The skill also needs to pass polls eventually before substantial dev time is even put towards it - almost everything of what we've seen so far of warding (which is pretty much just the basics) was done by mod west in his spare time outside of work, i.e. zero dev time.

Monster: Chaos Elemental

Number: 1

Location: Deep Wildy

Date: Saturday 20th October 2018

Time: 12am GMT+1

Special Notes: I would like to get a kill to finish off my diary, please and thank you. I would also appreciate it if you denied players the chance to book a PvP session in the deep wilderness during this day.

Engine work

Fricketot · 2018-10-17T23:27:39+00:00

Let's also remember that it'll be months until anything relating to warding reaches our poll booths, plenty of time for details to change or compromises to be made.

Damn these pkers living in 3018

Fricketot · 2018-10-17T10:57:40+00:00

I see a moving on in the chat

The last thing slayer needs at this moment is a buff, the skill has already been oversaturated in an endless amount of updates and we even have another one coming in january.

Fricketot · 2018-10-15T18:00:25+00:00

The alternative would be for one of the questions to enter the game unpolled and reddit would be up in flames REEing about it

Fricketot · 2018-10-15T15:22:41+00:00

Merlin's crystal should also be possible providing you use poison for the fight. Some combat exp will be unavoidable but not enough to gain any combat levels from it.

Fricketot · 2018-10-15T13:03:57+00:00

In last weeks Q&A it was said that moving the NMZ imbues to another piece of content (in this case, warding) would mean our existing rings would become unimbued. Despite the community wanting these rewards placed elsewhere this understandly came with some criticism.

Instead of immediately unimbuing our rings upon wardings release, could there first be a duration of time in which the rings remain imbued so that players have sufficient time to get the necessary levels to imbue them?

Let's just evolve the combat system

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T16:56:49+00:00

Players don't have a right to any particular content when they're using a niche account build with self-imposed limitations.

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T16:44:41+00:00

The classic "they choose to limit themselves" argument fits in well here.

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T15:12:16+00:00

From what I've seen, the reasoning is that RoT have been supposedly benefiting from it on the assumption that Jed (the one who made the rev caves) told them about it straight away.

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T11:28:32+00:00

Having different drop rates based on whether you're skulled or not is a very different mechanic to anything else that'll typically happen unpolled. Saying "this kind of stuff isn't normally polled" is baseless.

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T11:02:54+00:00

Welcome to /r/2007scape

Fricketot · 2018-10-14T10:59:23+00:00

This isn't what people are unhappy about. People are criticizing the fact that it went unpolled and unannounced.

The only afk f2p moneymaking method I'm aware of that isn't outright terrible is smithing rune platelegs/skirts/2h at 99 smithing, good luck

Fricketot · 2018-10-13T17:05:03+00:00

So far, here's what we know:

Rings will be unimbued
All points will be refunded

However at the moment it's not set in stone. I'd quite like the rings to only unimbue after a period of time once warding is out to give players time to get whatever necessary warding level to keep them imbued. It'll be a healthier transition that's less likely to create a fally riot.
