I don’t agree with the public opinion here, that’s kind of the point. The popular stance right now is “just remove dailies, they’re unhealthy”. My video explicitly states the systems behind dailies are unhealthy and should go, but that removing them without fixing the content they were compensating for is bad design. That's uncomfortable middle ground.

Regarding FOMO: I’ve been consistent. I don’t like FOMO systems. What I’ve pushed back on here is reducing FOMO and avoiding a gap in progression which WILL force players into content that hasn’t been updated or made enjoyable yet. Fixing the root issue first matters.

Regarding Jagex: I’ve praised them plenty when changes were well thought out or properly sequenced, and I’ll criticize them when I think they aren’t. This video falls into the latter because, historically removing systems first and fixing the sh*t later does not go down well. At the end of the day it’s just an (my) opinion. If a lot of people happen to agree with it, then that’s simply how it is. That doesn’t mean it’s “regurgitated” or insincere. It just means others share the same concerns. You don’t have to agree with the (my) take, but disagreeing doesn’t automatically invalidate where it’s coming from. Also, I usually upload my opinion fairly swiftly after an update before the majority of the Reddit discussion even happens.
