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…

What you think about sailing?

    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

        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

          Imagining osrs not going down this path makes me sad. For as great as OSRS’s last decade has been we could’ve seen a real golden age more alike to the social RuneScape of the 2000s
