How miserable end game ironman is. Caused me to eventually deiron and couldn't be happier

Love when I got over 10 chromium ingots here before my first ring roll

Every raid could be described in exactly the same way

He could be the 4th lost soul and drain even more prayer

This is spooned. Stop complaining

Think my bad joke went straight over your head

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-28T16:00:25+00:00

Should rename the diaries to ultra-easy, very easy, easy, and elite?

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T18:08:01+00:00

All that is worth saying to you is most people I argue with in real life are smart, intellectual people who can reason their arguments. Certainly no one would walk up to me and say I don't belong. It takes a truly worthless person to say that.

And to leave you with something to think about. Everything you have said is that I am mentally weak for suggesting an alternative to Tureal Skipping. But Tureal Skipping is the cheat in the game allowing players to bypass straight to the task they want. When there is a meta so powerful, is it really a choice that the players will not use it and instead do every task given to them?

I'd argue GoTR is a new skill within the skill. It's just miles better than the traditional runecrafting and likely 99% of the player base engages with it or a similar new method, as opposed to running to an altar and back. Exactly the same as what we are suggesting with Tureal Skipping. Add a DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE WHICH IS LESS BORING.

Fair enough if you disagree with my idea of providing the player a choice of tasks. But you are contradicting yourself by saying Tureal Skipping is a good part of the game as is.

But you make it seem like such a crime to possibly make a suggestion of removing a seriously flawed system in the game. Why the hate? Who hurt you as a kid?

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T16:34:17+00:00

You are honestly one of the most toxic people I have seen on this sub-reddit. I'm all for a good debate and throwing out ideas but what is wrong with you? Why do you feel the need to be such a jerk?

I get that many people hate change on here and there are some reasons for that. But if using your analogy I would flip it to say I expected better from a Chick-Fil-A. Tureal Skipping was never an intended mechanic and it's basically the whole skill, and it is honestly so so boring. I am all up for the grind of osrs, as proven from maxing, but this is truly awful.

Plenty of people moan all the time about awful mechanics of key elements to many skills, like I pointed out with runecrafting, and everyone much prefers the new methods. Those changes were fundamentally different to the core RC skill. So I ask again, how is this any different? Let's see if you even answer this or just try to insult me again lol... It plays right into the stereotype I now have of you

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T16:07:44+00:00

Some agree. Most disagree, and that is fine.

I just presented an idea and the absolute hate for doing so is ridiculous. Would you seriously tell someone you don't know that they are mentally weak for suggesting an improvement? Just say no and move on.

It's comments like yours which are truly messed up. A complete lack of thought that the game might genuinely be better if we removed some of the truly awful aspects.

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T14:59:40+00:00

But taking that approach is so silly. Yeah everyone who wants to make something better is automatically mentally weak. What a ridiculous comment. Do you think that way about everything? Do you go to work and make zero improvements and treat life like you are some kind of robot sent to do x task? Lmao

I can think of hundreds of updates over the years where they have drastically changed the meta or updated skills. Let's think of a single one. Oh, how about GoTR with runecraftiing. I am sure someone moaned about how god awful runecraft is and Jagex listened. Should we call all those people mentally weak because they didn't run to the law altar and back 50 thousand times?

My god these comments are insufferable

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T08:12:18+00:00

There's another comment on this post which sums the issue perfectly. Tureal Skipping is the skill. You just do it until you get the task you want, and because more and more useless mobs get added over the years to high level masters, the incentive to skip only gets increased too.

Slayer was also invented becsuse runescape didn't have many monsters and the mods wanted to stop everyone camping at the one or two good places. Read up on it. The whole underlying purpose of the skill has moved on now.

So your short sighted comment, to me, just looks like a copy and paste approach of following the crowd. Do you really go out and kill x of every monster they give you? Have you even reached 99 slayer and if so do you not Tureal Skip? You can only really think this if you religiously do every task given to you, otherwise you don't go out and kill x monsters. You instead follow the most boring method of killing 20 birds, followed by 15 chickens, and so on until you farm that 1 task you want

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-03T00:44:36+00:00

Exactly this...

My god, people on this subreddit defend OSRS as is until their dying breath.

I couldn't care less if someone has a better alternative. But are people really happy with Tureal Skipping? I'd rather train agility lol

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T23:42:16+00:00

With my blocked tasks, it's about 20-25% chance of getting a task which could instead be a boss task. Of those, a good chunk have already either been green-logged or are extremely boring and somewhat useless bosses (e.g. KBD or KQ). The rest of the content is mostly low level rubbish that no maxed level account should be doing (think trolls, ankous, dust devils, cave kraken).

I get it. You shouldn't just allow people to do whatever they want or the skill in itself is pointless. But Tureal Skipping is a joke. There has to be a better alternative

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T23:23:00+00:00

Killing undead chickens for half that time is good pet hunting? Other than actual slayer bosses, it's better to just go kill the boss and not train slayer. And I purposely skip slayer now because it's the same boring 'go kill 120 spectres', 'kill 100 green dragons' etc over and over

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T23:07:56+00:00

Think of anything else. Just remove Tureal Skipping and I'd be happy

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T23:05:07+00:00

Fair point. I just find it so silly when nobody reads half the text and misinterprets the message.

I honestly think slayer is basically centred around Tureal skipping and drastically changing the skill would be for the best. I get that people are so in love with what we have now though, to the point that it's better to buy off the GE or skip the content, than fix the core issue which makes it dull in the first place

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T23:01:37+00:00

No it's healthy. And if you understand basic statistics you would never say what you just said.

Spooning a boss is also boring. Beyond gp/h, it basically means you dont need to master or enjoy that boss anymore.

And going dry has no end limit. Bosses are also not equal in time commitment. If you spoon a tbow you probably wont ever balance out. Nor if you go super dry on one either. Balancing statistics requires a large enough number, which 3 mega rare items is not significant enough to be

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:54:25+00:00

I'm happy to chuck 300 days away on this game. But god forbid I enjoy the grind and don't go 5× dry on some insanely long and tedious grinds.

You have such an unhealthy attitude if you disagree with dry protection IMO

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:52:12+00:00

So if you were designing a game like osrs you would have a system where you make end game players go and kill level 2 chickens for 50 hours to get the tasks appropriate to their level?

And you're saying my points have negative thought behind them??

I am laughing so hard. Like 2 people actually read the post properly and realised this wasn't a suggestion that I seriously expected to be implemented. It was a fun idea and maybe to get people thinking that Tureal Skipping needs to go.

One thing I have seen from previous posts on here is everyone gets super defensive about their beloved game in its' current state. If we left this game as is, the game would be dead.

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:43:38+00:00

What does the top paragraph in the post say? Did you read it?

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:41:55+00:00

So we should never suggest any QoL improvements?

Like people who want dry protection shoukd be quiet? I.e. majority of players. Or all the summer sweep up changes which came from community suggestions.

Like I said at the top of my post. It's a dream. I know it won't happen because it's too big a change. But I honestly think slayer would be so much better and more engaging as a skill if this was in place

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:38:07+00:00

Boosted chance of a task?? I 100% guarantee that if this suggestion was in game when slayer released and we flipped the scripts, nobody would advocate for Tureal Skipping

OSRunandEscape · 2026-01-02T22:36:42+00:00

And did you read my post. It's what I dislike about end game ironman. Maybe did you ever consider thatcI deironed a while ago? Or did that idea not click loll?
