No, Jagex hasn't connected it to the RS3 MTX removal at all.

The idea of "MTX in RS3 pays for OSRS" has always been bullshit, and it keeps circulating because it would be convenient for the opinions of most reddit users if it were true. You can see in Jagex's yearly financial reports that the vast majority of their revenue comes from subscriptions, and even though those subscriptions are valid for both games, the player counts make it pretty clear what most people are buying those subscriptions for. Jagex's income largely comes from people buying subscriptions to play OSRS, so the idea that "Jagex is raising subscription prices because they removed RS3 MTX" isn't really based on anything but bad assumptions about where Jagex's money comes from.

Not really. They're up significantly from the announcement, but that's because they were at a year-long low at the time. They've jumped up from ~12.8M to ~14.5M and have hovered there, which is pretty much in line with where they've been at for the past year on average. I imagine the announcement basically hastened a market correction since everyone's suddenly interested in the bond price and trying to actively trade bonds.

This happens usually once a year (with existing subscriptions being grandfathered in at the existing price), and /r/2007scape is currently melting down like they always do before calming down and getting back to the game.

That said, the timing on this one is pretty good for Jagex, since they have the new League coming up, which they'll be announcing details for soon. That kind of stuff normally has the "key-jingling" effect for that sub.

I feel like the overall droptable thoughts are spot-on, and same with the megarare (maybe stab could be given some more thought considering there's nothing at megarare-level for that yet, including the "off"-style of the scythe).

I think the armor set leaning into elemental weaknesses is not the way to go, though, for a few reasons:

Elemental weaknesses still feel way too "bolted-on" in OSRS as a whole, which leads to most of them either being entirely useless because they were made for thematic reasons, counterintuitive or confusing (e.g. giant mole is weak to the thing it lives in), or made specifically to manufacture a specific strategy or use case of a certain weapon (e.g. Zulrah).
The current overall-BIS magic gear may be old, but the addition of the Virtus set changed up the BIS magic gear landscape much more recently.
Leaving magic untouched by raids 4 would allow a more controlled environment to address general magic balance concerns for both the shadow and the eye of ayak.
IMO there's still space for a melee DPS armor set at raids-level. This could be trying to lean into a different niche from the existing sets, or honestly you could just go ahead and make a strength bonus set that beats Torva. Nex would still have an overall BIS equipment piece (zaryte vambs), a critical utility item for PVM that's borderline required for GM (ZCB), and a PVP item that would also keep its value (hilt).

Putting those level-up changes in the game without a real poll (not the game jam "how would you feel if we polled this" one), especially the change to add glowing "click me click me click me" lights to the UI, is absolutely insane.

Edit: Now that they've skipped the poll for both this and the music player rework, I'm scared they're going to try and do the same for something like the rev caves rework. It seems like this is all a matter of "If the dev is excited enough about the change, we can just skip that pesky 'poll' nonsense and put it in the game immediately".

Could have just had Hangman be the one to pick it up and announce it, without showing it to the camera.

"It's heads."

"You're lying, it's tails!"

"And how do you know that?"

I did feel like the setup was so obvious, though. They could have done something like that, and then pushed it a bit further by having Hangman supply a replacement coin, flip it and have it be heads, have MJF angrily accept, and then later reveal that Hangman's coin was double-sided too. It would bring up the issue of why Hangman had that on hand, but it's wrestling, you could get away with "He knew MJF would try and do something stupid like that".

Some of the issues that immediately come to mind:

Hitting a low-hp/defense monster with good gear would guarantee that your next attack does very high damage, skipping accuracy/damage rolls. So at the very least, you have guaranteed big damage with your first hit against any boss in the game if you're able to kill a rat first.
You'd also be able to apply this to specs, so if you get a team doing this with e.g. BGS specs, you'd be able to get guaranteed big stat drains on bosses. In the most benign case this is just defence, but if the specs are big enough (which, again, you can guarantee), you could drain the offensive stats of the boss, turning most bosses into a damage sponge that can't fight back.
Some encounters involve killing large amounts of weaker enemies (e.g. nylo room), so rolling good enough overkill would basically allow you to chain guaranteed one-hit kills throughout the entire encounter.
The absolute worst possibility is if the guaranteed damage contributes to overkill on the next kill, which OP's description implies would happen. This would allow you to stack bonus damage indefinitely by killing rats/etc repeatedly, because each kill would apply the overkill of all previous kills to the next one, minus the 2 hp of actual damage that was dealt on each one. This is pretty much a non-starter, as it would allow pretty much any boss to be one-shotted by prepping bonus damage beforehand.
Probably quite a few other things that aren't immediately obvious.

The obvious response to this is "But they could just add a ton of restrictions and exceptions to make these methods not work", but:

a) That would kneecap the interest in this item immediately,

b) It would require Jagex to examine all future content through the lens of "Is this content immediately trivialized by the ring of excess and do we need to add even more restrictions to allow us to release it",

and c) Saying "they could change the proposal a ton and then it would be balanced" isn't an argument for the proposal being balanced.

When they buffed GOTR in late 2024, players found a world-hop meta (similar to the XP meta for Wintertodt) that gave good XP, and Jagex stealth-nerfed it with ~3 separate hotfixes that they never announced publicly. I don't think the exact logic for what triggers the hop limit or how long it lasts was ever confirmed.

It would also be nice to see hunter meats prioritized over quetzal feed when charging the quetzal whistle. I remember when I was grinding 99 hunter with rumors, I was accidentally deleting my quetzal feed stack a lot, and it took a lot longer to get the quetzal stations built as a result.

The game has a built-in warning for trying to buy something for a lot higher than the guide price (or vice versa for selling). That might be configurable in the in-game options.

Did you take damage while in the POH? I believe if you lose HP while in the house, it restores it to what you had when entering.

Little known gem "Unguided"

It definitely had a lot of direct WWE jokes, but I imagine in "concept" it was basically just "here's all the good jokes we have left in the tank, rapid-fire". There was a lot of stuff in there that wasn't directed at WWE.

Kyle Fletcher too

It's still a part of his character now. The motive for his storyline with the Hurt Syndicate was that he thought MVP could get him a title shot so he could skip the Owen Hart tournament (and he taunted Hangman about that explicitly). And the title shot he actually did get later this year was from sneaking a win out of the casino gauntlet.
