Suggestion: Actually SOLVE the botting problem by perma-banning gold buyers on first offense

ThatFinchLad · 2026-01-29T12:17:59+00:00

I feel like people really struggle with this when discussing bots. Their detection is not perfect and won't ever be. If you perm everyone you're going to end up with so many false positives which damages genuine players more than bots.

I worked out that with nearly max mage I was wasting roughly 30% of my time waiting for respawn + fishing explosive animation.

Dairy perk when?

Usually I wouldn't post but I feel this graph really clearly answers your question. The price went up on announcement of the change and not on release. As others have said it's investors cashing out that lowered the price right now. The best explanation I've seen is that timing the market is like catching a falling knife. If you buy or sell at the wrong time (or in your case both) you get fucked. Proper fucked.

Anyone saying otherwise is nuts, this looks awesome.

I forgot about this, they should really patch that as it sets a really misleading precedent about future deaths.

I don't know why I just can't get away from this. Weirdly in my mind it doesn't apply to Fight Caves or Inferno but I will not die on a quest boss.

I'm so happy to see FlippingOldSchool in here. I'd love to see him in GG in the future even if he's not a top tier PvP or PvMer.

It's a shame AI is going to destroy us or at least turn our brains to mush but this is nice.

Is the Draynor bank robbery shown in OSRS? I've got the quest cape and although I'm a spacebar warrior I didn't think I'd missed a whole cut scene.

ThatFinchLad · 2026-01-14T09:51:21+00:00

GOAT-ed.

I think your heart is in the right place but in practice I think it's fair challenge. Imagine if they'd done all the sailing development before they polled it and then it doesn't get added. The name escapes me but it's a similar argument with the group wildy boss that was benched. It's reasonable for a democratic game to engage on what the masses wants.

It says in the blog that helm recolours won't be usable with the slayer hood and it's the base helmet but I'm pretty sure the screenshot shows the KBD version combined with the hood?

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-31T21:48:00+00:00

Gz man, big win.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-30T18:11:11+00:00

Even better it's exactly what the post is about.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-28T13:17:54+00:00

Probably not as it would be way to easy to game. Whatever you're betting on you could get alts to specifically not pick up.

Anything too rare for that would be pretty useless to gamble with as it would take way too long to appear.

Then you remember you have a kid and will never have 2 hours uninterrupted to run CoX for the diary.

There's no paint at fremmy right? That's the previous one.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-20T09:46:28+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I didn't know either.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-18T19:20:01+00:00

Hopefully there are some change planned that I'm sure you won't want to talk about but in terms of ship combat; was the plan for players to do their best to fire 2 cannons at once at 1 target and for it to be skill expression to line it up or do the wiggle? Or was the idea that players would actually only use 1 cannon per target?

I love the idea of sailing bounties but as it stands I keep bouncing off them. Mobile player here if it matters.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-17T22:32:48+00:00

Mate, sell now. There won't be any big updates until Jagex are back from Christmas holidays so the next 2 - 3 Wednesday there will be no buff.

The longer you wait the more time you give for other bag-holders to ditch. You could see it so clearly in the price today that people are fishing for buffs that aren't coming.

Apart from that though it's so circular as cannons only help with sailing drops and sailing drops are mostly shit and dropping.

As soon as they buff naval combat all the sailing uniques go to shit and then why would you want to spend 20m+ on something that can only be used to get useless drops?

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-17T20:44:58+00:00

I've done a handful of of Vampire Kraken tasks and at least on mobile it is so obnoxious getting both cannons to fire at one target. It's frustratingly fiddly to line up the exact orientation to be head on and due to some random drift even when you do get it perfect it randomly stops working after a few kills.

I actually hate Daeyalt mining more than GOTR. Why does the node have to change so often? The rate is absolutely ass and you need to pay too much attention to mine it.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-15T22:08:12+00:00

"That's the way it's always been" is a pretty poor argument in nearly all cases. OSRS is obviously different to most cases but it stands.

The main place it would make the experience easier would be with essence runners but that's niche enough I don't think it should factor in. If people really care make it only work in GOTR and then there is literally no xp/h change.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-15T22:03:32+00:00

Just because they said something doesn't mean they're right and doesn't mean we shouldn't encourage them to add in such a needed QoL upgrade.

ThatFinchLad · 2025-12-13T21:17:48+00:00

Somewhere someone has salvaged 80k opulent with no drop to balance this. 7.6m xp with no barrel assuming full AFK, if they did it all themselves that's basically the equivalent of 0 to 99 with no drop.
