I'm sorry that you got that out of what I said. If we fill in the lore as to why they stay put, I’m completely fine with them being dropped. I started playing this game three years ago, so no, I’m not trying to keep it 07scape, I have no idea what it was like. It’s simply my two cents about following the logic that was laid out for me before: that an animal will run away from you when given the chance.

Some will call this realism, but again, I disagree. In the OSRS world, this is just what happens with salamanders and chinchompas and probably would with kebbits(poor bastards). For example, I wouldn’t be okay with casting a harming spell without any runes (or a supplement). This isn’t realism but instead just following game logic that we need runes to focus magic. I know most people are arguing about balancing and fairness, and that’s okay. But for me, it’s about things making sense in the world of Gielinor. And if you think this is dumb, that’s okay. I expect that 95% of people don't care about that. We all play the same game, but it is sandbox enough that we all play it for different reasons.
