I dont think Jagex should add the whip vine.

Jagex are adding the whip vine to 2007. I wouldn't be so bothered by this, but the whip vine here is even stronger than it was on RS2. Also, after 10,000 hits, the abyssal whip crumbles into nothing, which will cause whips to leave the economy and increase the price of them. And of course, the whip vine would be really powerful when combined with a defender.

This is sorta the direction they were going in during the couple of years leading upto the Eoc. Weapons like chaotics which were OP but degradable.

IDK, i just think they shouldn't add the whip vine, the abyssal whip was already the strongest overall melee weapon.

It also really irritates me how jagex give the item some other name (like how they renamed and reskinned the polypore staff and the staff of light) to try and get more people to vote for it.

 

Kind of stupid to buff the already most powerful weapon. Will it change the special attack?

 

I like this update, adds a new slayer / boss + increases the profit for an already good money making task (abby demons)

 

I don't think it's a bad idea. Whips have crashed to just over 1 mil, this should bring their price back up (which is a good thing).

The only part I don't like is degradable, but Jagex LOVE adding degradable content.

 

I agree with the above, the price is just terrible - for one of the best items weapons and most common weapon in game, but such a low price. People get 85 slayer which takes forever to make some realistic profit, so hopefully this is going to make it better.

 

i think its a good addition..seriously though, i personally do slayer and its not very appealing to know by the time i get to 85 slayer whips would be below 1m..i remember i when i got 85 slayer on pre eoc it was during pvp/bh worlds and whips had spiked up to 3-4m* and it was the best thing ever really

 

I don't mind jagex sinking a little bit of whips out of the economy, they have become cheap. But there has to be another way of sinking them from the economy. +90 slash 86 strength is alot for a one handed, fast weapon.
