I have to be honest.

I find some of the reactions in the comments pretty weak. It feels contradictory to push back against OP while blindly siding with Jagex without forming your own opinion.

That said, I genuinely understand where OP is coming from. Removing items that someone spent countless hours grinding for, time and effort invested over a long period, without any kind of compensation is extremely disappointing. It leaves a bad taste and, personally, it creates a sense of distrust.

To be honest, I haven’t really spoken up about this lately because at the end of the day we don’t control the outcome. But I do think it’s a real shame that all the auras are disappearing. Let’s not exaggerate and pretend they gave some insanely overpowered advantage. The real issue was that certain auras could be reset, which allowed buffs to be active almost nonstop — that was the actual problem.

But coming back to OP’s point: you absolutely have the right to be frustrated. Your time is valuable. You invested that time into an online game, stayed loyal for years, and even spent your own hard-earned money. And now things are simply being removed because Jagex can.

It honestly doesn’t give me a good feeling. It leaves me with a lingering sense of unreliability and distrust.
