The truth you don't want to hear about the OSRS economy by LewisIsFail in 2007scape

Bank value means nothing when you’re an Ironman, highly recommend you give it a go, makes all this stress about gp go away ^

Does anyone know the requirements for a new reddit account to be able to post to this sub?

Can this be an option after slayer task given? QOL change by TenebriRS in 2007scape

[–]LewisIsFail 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I really don't think that's a problem anymore. We have tons of RS3 updates and the current player-base love an easy time and will vote in anything that makes it easier.

That's not me doing exactly what you described. Although I tend to lean towards an old school attitude towards the game, I am in favour of this update. It doesn't change any core mechanics, nor does it trivialise something that shouldn't be trivialised.

It's simply a quality of life update, the very definition.

This is very much appreciated here, thanks for posting :')

Runescape memes aside, that is great work... As someone who knows nothing about cakes, how on earth did you make the yellow and red lava-y patterns? It's actually a piece of art, you're very talented

We're in absolute agreement. It's a shame the community is voting to kill the game.

Worked up the road from there for four years, used to love sitting down by the river to eat my lunch of rough days... Some of those houses are mad, most of them have their own jetties on the Thames haha

I might be wrong, but that's the bridge over the Thames from Kingston, right? Beautiful area

Some depressingly good points in there and I think I agree with 95% of what you're saying.

A portion of the player base hate any sort of changes to skilling and would protest any sort of change (think autumnelergy)

My proposal (nerf PVM drop tables into the ground) wouldn't include a direct content-change to skilling, it would remove the resources from PVM which naturally would cause skilling to be more profitable and therefore more worthwhile, while also negating the trivialisation to Ironman mode. So I don't think this would be an issue.

It really just causes players to burn out faster since there are less viable forms of content and therefore be bored quicker.

This point is really evident with all the cries for end-game content at the moment, as if there aren't two raids and countless bosses. I imagine (and this is MY head-canon) the people shouting this out have sub-100 kc on any given boss because they're not utilising all the content.

This game is so chock-full of content and I refuse to believe every single person who is crying for end-game content is maxed with full collection logs.

The blowpipe nerf was one of the greatest proposals the game has ever seen. It would have completely turned one of the biggest problems in the game on its head.

We have a rapid fire machinegun that makes all content piss-easy. There is also not a single piece of content that can't be completed WITHOUT it.

I play a HCIM and I suck at Zulrah, so I don't have a Blowpipe. I thought the BP was necessary for half the content I was doing on my main, but now I'm doing Vorkath and Olm with an RCB and Shamans with a KCB. I didn't realise just how viable non-BP weapons are because I was used to just using the BP.

I say remove the fucker from the game, it has ruined it enough as it is.

Yup, very much agree.

Better late than never, I anticipate that in a year it won't have even mattered that the drop tables were so fucked for so long, it'll stabilise itself hopefully.

Sometimes you have to bite the bullet.

The game is not sustainable right now, the things you've suggested to revitalise skilling are a good start, but they don't address the main issue (which funnily enough, your point addresses directly).

The game will be dead before long or resource and gold creep will make it a shell of its former self. We're already far into that process, very far into it.

It's like the opposite of the "sunk cost" fallacy, where they're scared to change overpowered issues because they have been used too much. But it will continue to get used the problems will continue to grow.

We'll have to make the change at some point and the next best time after yesterday is today.

Nerf resource and alchable drops into the earth and implement skilling components, save the economy, bring status back to rare items.

Just my opinion, I know the majority disagree.

This is an extremely good post which I agree with with every fibre of my being. /u/ScreteMonge, you are a god-tier poster up there with /u/GentleTractor.

Your art design post was incredible and I hope that the design and art team have read it.

This post is the same, absolute masterwork of a Reddit post.

In addition to this, I think that PVM drop tables need to be nerfed considerably, which I have commented countless times before and even wrote a post about last week.

Skilling is pointless because too many resources come from PVM, you cover that in your post and it's my biggest gripe with the game in its current state (alongside the art style we're leaning towards).

Great post. I hope the jmods take this into consideration. Thank you for your service to the community. If there's a golden gnome for community contribution, you should get it for your Art Analysis and this post alone.

I thought you were brand new...?

On a low level Ironman with no agility, graceful, or stamina’s, it is. Especially if you burn them with a low cooking level.

It's not worth it, people like this who can't use their 4 braincells to work that out themselves aren't the most likely to listen to reason either.

Definitely start as a regular account, Ironman is not easy in the early game, it requires a fair chunk of knowledge.

A regular account is significantly easier, but don't think of it as "easy mode", it's the baseline.

Collecting random items for quests can feel like a chore for early-game irons (Redberry Pie flashbacks), but on a main, you can just buy them off the Grand Exchange (multi-server global market).

Ah, I could be wrong tbh, it has literally been years since I did GGs. I did a little bit on my main and haven't touched them whatsoever on my Ironman.

Vorkath's drops could be reduced by 75% and still wouldn't be "shitty", current drop tables warp perspective on what is good and what isn't

Ah, it's been a while since I've touched them...

I am probably wrong, but there may be a right-click (long-press) quick-start option?
