Its gonna be a hate post, so buckle up and be calm :O.

Dont get me started on this sailing mechanic that plays like a game in 2005 in free website gaming, no one would play it in 2025....... And i rather just sail in sailing games where its way better then osrs.

The methods are so bad, other then Barracuda trail, and Barracuda trail is so boring after 4-5 times, and there were way more diffrent races in a 2004 sailing games. the box shipping is so weird, so clunky and not fun.... Clicking on the flag on inventory to sail a bit faster and get xp, honestly the most boring mechanic out there.

How do people think its good? I feel like its the same people who just vote yes for everything :(

Well finished my rage ;), what about good things about sailing? I guess content.....

Even if it's super fun (I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know) it's not what I want from OSRS. I want my nostalgia, that's most of the reason I play, and changing the core list of skills while skills like smithing is still imbalanced as hell and fire making is about lighting logs makes no sense.

I unironically now wish there was an old school old school taken in like 2023 before things really started to get out of hand

And I realize I'm in the minority here. I've just stopped playing at this point

yep, i only play osrs (but quitted 1 year ago) for the variety, you dont wanan combat? tons other skills waiting for progression, dont wanna play? just go to star mining and get that dopamine!

but now they just fucos on combat mostly, and its just zzzzzzz, i rather just play some other combat games ngl

They nerfed skills when they released Zulrah and the other bosses. No need to fish if big snake drops fish

So now the only reason people fish is for quest requirements and 99

Looks like shit and I’m almost positive it was something that would be forced on us because they spent too much time on it to walk it back. Even going back to the original interest poll it was clearly the most refined concept

yep! and with 10 setence, how hard to explain sailing vs shamanism and taming? xD, it was so bad wrote concept, and even then, shamanish was 0.4% away from winning.....

sailing was also on the top, which makes people have easyer time to just chose the first option, and i know alot of people just vote the first thing they see....................

sailing should never won, but i guess polls are just manipulated as hell.

It looks and feels like old school to me. People keep saying it’s boring… but it isn’t even out yet? All that was released was an alpha test for the basic mechanics. It’s already a more fleshed out skill than many of the other skills.

It sounds like you just don’t like the game, which is fine. Why waste energy on something you don’t like?
