    Anyways:

    You suggested glacors and their boot drops... you realize that the boots cerb drops are the same boots with a different name, right?

    You suggested staff of light being added... you realize the staff of the dead is the same item but with a different name, right?

    You suggested arcane stream necklace, and chaotic maul/staff/c'bow... you realize occult necklace, elder maul/staff and armadyl c'bow are essentially the alternatives of those items, right? The other stuff like rapier and longsword didn't get added to OSRS because they weren't balanced weapons.

    You listed handcannon... you realize ballista is like an alternative version of that item, right?

    Are you beginning to see a pattern yet?

    Rest of the stuff you listed, e.g korasi - was balanced terribly and was overpowered during pre-eoc... and probably why it hasn't been added OSRS.

    tl;dr The sooner normal mode is reset, the better for the health of the mode
    Which is exactly my point? To add more content without adding different items with different stats?

    Most of the items that are the OSRS variant of the pre-eoc item have the same exact bonuses and the same requirements to wield.

    If you add the same exact item with a different name, and the stats of the new items are changed to be higher than what's currently available, that will make them the new BiS (best in slot) items, and nobody will use the old items.

    Conversely, if you do the opposite and add them with lowered stats, the BiS items won't change and the addition of the new items will be meaningless because people will continue to use the BiS items.
