Sailing with how it was pitched is not only a new skill but basically another whole map expansion as well. This will most likely be the single largest expansion in the game and rs as a whole in a very very long time.

Voting against additional content because you dont have the free time to dedicate towards completing said content is such a trash mental I cant even  put it into words

@MrMcbear

I've been playing Runescape since 2003, getting near maxing and i'm ready for more content to osrs. As long as we dont have EOC all over again we'll be ok.

@coyork15

I think the main argument against a new skill isn't "it's more to do", it's that it is disruptive. How is sailing going to impact the Runescape economy? How will it impact core gameplay, sucha s getting 99s in other skills? The impact might be insane - what if, for example, there's a way to get sailng up and access a new chinchompa location. What would that do to chin prices? What would that do to people's ability to get 99 range? What would inflated range levels do to PVMing? etc etc. Runescape is complicated and a new skill is like throwing a big stone into the middle of a pond, it'll have ripples.

I'm "pro sailing" but it has to be done carefully.

@LinkorbGaming

I'm so excited for sailing, I'm going to make a Sailing Only UIM YouTube series

@PurpleDragonSpike

The idea of raiding on a friend's ship or even something insane like a wilderness area for ships (I'm sure that won't happen) seems so fun. I want to have buddies with blinged out ships, hell, even putting some POH stuff on ships. They have so many directions to go in

@razorednight

75% was a ridiculously high vote threshold. I don't know if I'm gonna have enough time to give sailing much attention straight away. But I haven't done any raiding yet, should I have a hissy fit about raiding being included in the game???

@raykhamis933

Dude facts about how addicting this game is. Iv been playing since 06, and have taken like up to year long breaks and always come back with a vengeance its sick.

@G0rkaM0rka42

Jagex should have definitely polled Sailing against Shamanism IMO. The people that voted for Taming deserved to have a say since their skill wasn't going to be added.

@kylegrishen3543

Thank you for the reasonable take on Sailing.  I have a feeling that most people will come around to the skill, it truly has the most potential for future expansion, and integration into the game world and existing skill framework.

@Heromus16

"If u like gathering skills you probably ate glue in elementry" admits voting for  shamanish 😂 no way you did that back in the day kaoz! ❤

@PraetexDesign

Sailing sounds great to me because it rings similar to construction. I like skills that weave into the existing ones and can provide alternative training methods and reasons to do them. Sailing could make rubbish skills like firemaking useful for instance.

Will be fun seeing the hiscore race happen again, who knows who will be the potential new rank 1 player etc

@Berserker_85

What plug in highlights your armor in inventory like yours and makes the boosts and all that look clean on the left corner?

@Onyx408

I don’t mind new skills but they really should be ones that add to the game and gameplay for the players. If you’re not adding something that enhances the fun then it’s not worth it. They really should flush it out and build it up before launch.

@bretthalshaw9419

Anyone else wondering what the loot was? I only came for the CoX run...

@Bigwave3K

I remember seeing a guy on Twitter who had like 30 alt accounts vote no to sailing lmfao

@salmence100

I voted for taming, but I'm truly on team "please just add anything" lol

@zackjoseph9127

I think its going to be like slayer but incorporates or has the potential to incorporate gathering and combat skills. And perhaps crafting, smithing, and construction for the actual shipbuilding

@Jimmyisabot

that is a crazy stat, that 6% of people voted on polls only, thus it makes so much sense to lower it from 75 to 70. Makes you wonder  if they should have a minimum threshold for more important things like new skills, e.g. 10% of the playerbase min votes and 65% positive or something, curious how they first arrived at 75% now

@anthonymodica609

My biggest critique is not the actual skill. I wish Jagex did a separate poll where it was only Sailing vs Shamanism because it was too close to call. Going forward, I won't vote no on everything out of spite because sailing will be coming to the game regardless. I would rather make sure the things I like most get in.
