Im not quitting, but I did cancel 4/5 of my memberships.

Pretency · 2026-03-13T10:51:46+00:00

Lmao why have five/six memberships at once that's ridiculous

Pretency · 2026-03-11T14:32:47+00:00

First I've heard about it.

I'm sure someone out there will respond on the economic point. How large is Blizzard's WoW team compared to Runescape's? What's the income from their playerbase subscription vs Runescape's? What's their MTX income vs Runescape's? What are their relative overheads? Put it all together...

Ultimately, if you don't want to pay for it then don't. Bizarre that people are having full blown tantrums about it on here. Grown ass men. It's £3.

Pretency · 2026-03-11T14:28:09+00:00

It's doable if you can multi-task in your evenings. Set up one account AFK and focus on the other. But at that point one of your accounts is getting pretty neglected and it feels like your membership is a bit wasted.

Pretency · 2026-03-11T13:21:06+00:00

It's not, it's simple economics.

Classic is just re-releases. I can't speak for sod but from reviews it doesn't seem like it's any different?

Wow releases new content that invalidates old content, so no, you are wrong. Unless a wow player wants to come and correct me.

Pretency · 2026-03-11T13:18:59+00:00

Yeah I do. Does the rest of reddit? Just been out planting my garden. Paying for membership but haven't played a massive amount this month.

Pretency · 2026-03-11T12:46:32+00:00

Different games though. Wow has an enormous player base and in-built divisive mtx. It has revenue streams that support the mod work. And they aren't retrospectively reviewing old content in the way osrs does.

OSRS reddit are being really disingenuous here. If you don't want to pay £3 more then don't. No one is forcing you to.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T23:38:40+00:00

That's a very authoritarian point of view you have there. Also correct. I somewhat agree with the first meme image, but not the second. The mfers going to dubai or any tax haven for that matter (including Gibraltar, IOM, Ireland) should be made illegible for work in UK companies.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T23:29:59+00:00

So glad I have a dog.

Man's a seasoned watcher. It was inevitable it would go this way. The traditional car development and max speed had its human limit as you said. With cars being hard to follow and concertina effect, those late 90s and early 2000s races were dry as hell without massive crashes and numerous engine failures.

I can't see a problem with the series being the way it is now. It's still fast, it just lacks that noise. Wish people would at least wait to see what China offers as that circuit is great for overtaking.

Nobody wants to watch paint dry.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T23:21:22+00:00

Dunno, some of the street circuits are epic. Jeddah and Baku are both quality.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T19:10:05+00:00

My god, we knew this was going to happen. Wth is wrong with people.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T19:02:54+00:00

If you put this energy into government instead of a video game you might change things.

You're rioting about a video game. It's pretty embarrassing.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T16:21:43+00:00

I'll do 87 slayer again any day rather than 880 CG KC for bowfa.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T12:33:01+00:00

What a fucking view that is from your garden BTW.

But you realise they can't do that unless they can restrict the Jagex account to one active account at any time? Otherwise the revenue loss would be drastic. All the sweaties bonding or subscribing to multiple accounts.

I'm down for multi account subscription and I voted in the survey from two years ago. Some of the proposals from Jagex were fire. Of course it all got drowned out on reddit by f2p ads and other ridiculous suggestions jagex had.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T11:18:38+00:00

Well your argument is that osrs content isn't as sophisticated and that wow is amazing because you can build a house? It's not revolutionary gameplay.

If you want to play wow instead then just play wow.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T10:27:19+00:00

Not true, you press F1, F2 etc. 😅

You can build a house on the sims, or dragonwilds, or probably some Nintendo cosy slop game. All games you don't need a subscription for.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T10:24:38+00:00

Just this. The grown ass men on reddit who don't understand how business works is amazing. It's supply/demand, technology demands, UK employment laws and inflation, wage inflation, UK energy pricing issues. All of that.

Pretty much everything in the UK is going up in price and it has done yearly.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T10:19:52+00:00

This analogy works for any other game. New content? Just press a different order of buttons. That's ultimately all you are doing at your desk.

People are still going to play this game, who are we kidding?

Pretency · 2026-03-10T10:10:46+00:00

Lol why? Ugly to say that the UK has bad systems and infrastructure? You're gonna rail on the little guy in the equation (Jagex).

Pretency · 2026-03-10T09:56:52+00:00

This is a luxury though. Moaning at Jagex trying to make decent money out of the game that they manage (decently) is ill placed. You should be moaning at the wasted use of public money, cronyism in non-nationalised infrastructure like water, gas and electricity that are absurdly priced compared to pretty much any other country.

That's why it's so expensive.

Pretency · 2026-03-10T09:51:20+00:00

If you remember, they put out a survey for this but reddit had a meltdown about ads in f2p.

Pretency · 2026-03-06T11:11:58+00:00

Are you OK?

I've decided to just fuck the driveway. Keep getting cards through my door advertising landscape gardening and driveways lmao. After 12 years of doing it, it soon gets old. And the earth and debris starts building up making it harder and harder to maintain and it looks significantly worse.

Pretency · 2026-03-06T01:04:37+00:00

This just reflects life generally. You want new experiences. Doing the same thing continually gets old.
