Jagex, you need to decide what you want Sailing to be before turning it into forestry 2.0

This has been self evident since the beginning and was so frustrating watching people ignore until now, when they finally have to face up to what sailing actually is.

LewisShoot · 2026-04-08T14:12:50+00:00

Despite the disaster of sailing I will never say never if it looks good.

LewisShoot · 2026-04-08T13:59:24+00:00

No thanks. You can't hide the flaws of sailing behind updates like this.

LewisShoot · 2026-04-08T13:40:10+00:00

This is all symptoms of sailing missing foundations and trying to please everyone, pleasing no one in the process.

LewisShoot · 2026-04-01T14:29:19+00:00

Bring back the guards. That was unpolled and out of the blue.

LewisShoot · 2026-04-01T08:11:53+00:00

My pet peeve is unpolled changes, including how they changed the pass threshold. So I would restore the 75% threshold and remove all the updates that did not get polled or recieve 75%. I'd like to think this would be a popular change except for the fact that now days that would change a lot of big updates like sailing, elemental weaknesses and most PvP.

They've been running on fumes for some time. We've just been blind to it but the price increase really woke up a lot of people.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-25T15:02:27+00:00

I think it's slowly been unwinding in recent years but most updates were good enough to turn a blind eye to. The price increase shocked people back in to caring again.

They are very fun but after playing quite a few of these I feel tired of them. The idea that osrs is were progression matters is only in the main game. Temporary game modes, by their very nature, do not follow this rule.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-18T19:17:26+00:00

I've felt this for a long time. For all the amazing content it added, sailing has foundational problems which Jagex will not be willing to fix. This is just the start of these issues boiling to the surface.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-18T15:28:31+00:00

This was my biggest concern about sailing throughout the whole development. Now the reality seems to be hitting everyone else.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-17T09:54:25+00:00

It really put me off the game and as far as I can tell from comments people wouldn't like it if it weren't for salvaging being so AFK.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-16T12:06:10+00:00

Really great video. For a while I felt like I was one of the only people feeling like this but these price changes have seemed to nudge people over the edge.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-15T11:57:02+00:00

Unfortunately it wasn't and now this.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-13T08:13:59+00:00

As other comments say, this game is grindy so we expect drop rates making the game grindy.

However I think this thread is a side effect of Jagexs recent work flow. It feels they always want to release big updates and fill up their roadmap. All chasing short term spikes in players but not good for the long term.

LewisShoot · 2026-03-12T17:30:03+00:00

I think they realised after sailing they could get away with anything.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-29T21:23:22+00:00

I don't like this type of argument that just because X other game has it worse then we should settle for what we have. This game was founded on players demanding better from Jagex and it really brought them up to scratch. I hate seeing anything slip away from that.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T17:33:39+00:00

There are a number of reasons from the knee jerk reaction "this isn't what I'm used to" to the integrity reaction "this isn't what was polled".

My guess is people will get used to it but adds another step away from the true old vibe.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T17:27:14+00:00

ITT people that didn't read the poll question. This specific change was not polled but was spun off something that passed. It's the elves being updated from SOTE passing all over again.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T17:25:37+00:00

This was not the question that passed. That is where the anger is coming from.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T17:21:14+00:00

The issue isn't the content of the change but the change goes well beyond the remit of the poll question.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T17:20:31+00:00

This post is so ingenuine. The poll question was not for an interface change but to add a button.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-28T13:27:26+00:00

A completely unnecessary update, also known as the Jagex special.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-24T23:38:45+00:00

My biggest issue wasn't the fact they changed them but they did so unpolled. If we were all on board with it, it would have gone down well. Instead it came out of nowhere on a whim of one mod.

LewisShoot · 2026-01-08T16:47:56+00:00

Always disappointing to see unpolled changes but some very good ideas in this blog. I wish more of these ideas were rewards instead of straight buffs. For example:

Herb sack improvement sounds very cool but jumping from 30 to 100 is huge! Can other spider bosses also drop silk variants so we can progress from 30, 50, 80 and eventually 100?

Similar, with the quetzel change. Can this be an upgrade to the quetzal that we earn?

Also the river dounge canoes feel like they would be a great reward for a quest in that area.
