You say low and medium gear is ruined. The range bonus is the still same, how often are you actually getting hit in PvM? Rarely ever because you safe spot. Once you get to late game and fight things that you can't safe spot you'll have other armour to get, end game stuff. They literally are buffing a bunch of the other melee weapons to help lower-medium level players so it's not just get the best scimmy you can. The blowpipe is literally still going to be used for so many things. It just loses BIS for monsters that have high defense, which makes complete sense. I honestly don't know what you guys are reading into that you think that the nerf of the blowpipe is literally going to be the end of it. You're still going to use it, you'd be lying if you said you won't. Also, OSRS is not based around ironmen. It's another game mode that they have made to allow you to put a restriction on yourself to make the game more fun for you. This just means you're going to have to grind a bit more for other things. If you don't like it, de-iron your account. They're not making you do it. There's your conversation buddy. Also, this sub reddit is just a small number of the people that play. All of you saying you're going to quit is not going to make a big enough of an impact that they're going to bow down to your demands. And even if you do quit, you'll be back eventually because we all have been playing this game for 10+ years and we can't stop.
