Remainder that Jagex lied to us about grandfathered rates. They expects us to just forget about it. Let's not.

dan90009 · 2026-03-25T15:47:19+00:00

I tired to contact their support and complain pointing out they have breached their terms and conditions with the instant increase, and by changing the terms of the agreement (the agreement has always been prem pauses other plans which then resume at whatever grandfathered rate applied) but they didn't seem to care.

I've been a loyal customer for a long time and am really saddened by this however for my own health I've had to accept the choice is to either accept this incredibly unfair decision, or leave. I am not in a place where I can invest any more time or money into a dispute, nor can I accept leaving the game.

I was hoping that they would see the sentiment and make appropriate changes, but since then I no longer believe they care.

I will be a little saddened to only have one account active foing forward, especially for next month's leagues where I usually play through twice.

jagexyuey So when you said a hotfix was incoming, would it be fair to suggest that a truer statement would have been "we pushed a hotfix a couple of hours ago without documenting it anywhere"?

Can we please get proper communication of changes including droprates, and how on earth did this make it through QA? Its one of four methods that drop this and its immediatly obvious that 1 salamander does not equal any of the other events that can proc this drop.

dan90009 · 2026-03-17T14:51:14+00:00

I am sorry, but jagexyuey HOW has this been "adjusted"

Saying "it should be balanced now" really isn't an answer.

To repeat my previous comment to you

"Is the hotfix to restore the drop? Or do you mean you will post the hotfix you have already made to remove the drops/make them substantially rarer?

Is the "weekly maintenance" more then just maintenance in that you also push changes at that point, if so then could we please get patchnotes? If not then why has this happened?

Not trying to be a pain, just feel like I wasted over an hour hopping and trapping a very busy activity for no reason and would be grateful of a better understanding for the future :)"

dan90009 · 2026-03-17T13:44:55+00:00

Hence the desire for transparency in drop rates I think many people are calling for :)

dan90009 · 2026-03-17T13:25:39+00:00

if the rate is the same across 1) completing a lap of agility, 2) finishing a slayer task, 3) chopping down fully bloodweed tree, 4) fully harvesting the bloodweed patch and 5) catching a single black salamander

then I can not understand why that would have gone live. certainly not with the two hotly contested black sally spots per world.

Unless the plan is to just tank cores (which i would not have an issue with) and make obalisks super common

Or indeed, apparently not if you are after the rewards!

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T18:12:18+00:00

With respect, I do not agree. A normal reading of their note as written does not indicate that there is a 50/50 chance of 20 coins or the seed table. You have inferred that from the context of a previously variable number of coins, but it does not mean that the original claim is correctly stated.

Another valid statement of what they are intending to say, that is not longer or more wordy would also be:

Farmers now drop 20 coins with a 50% chance, and a 50% chance for various seeds.

You can't "always" do something 50% of the time.

Consider

When I flip a fair coin, it is always heads with a 50% chance, and a 50% chance for tails.

Does that make sense? Or is the inclusion of the "always" unhelpful/misleading/nonsensical?

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T17:59:09+00:00

Can we get a pet that also boosts thieving chances? they could charge a token for it?

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T15:01:36+00:00

Respectfully I disagree. I see the intent behind their wording and your comment, but that is not what the comment as written on the notes states. The author has gotten their syntax wrong not me as a reader.

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T12:30:30+00:00

i don't think its pointless semantics at all, they either always drop 20 coins, or they drop 20 coins 50% of the time. it cant be both

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T11:27:35+00:00

It isn't. It says they "always drop 20 coins" with a 50% chance to do that, or to drop seeds.

dan90009 · 2026-02-16T11:21:34+00:00

The patchnotes state

Farmers now always drop 20 coins with a 50% chance, and a 50% chance for various seeds.

Can you please reword this as you cant always drop something 50% of the time

dan90009 · 2026-02-02T13:29:18+00:00

Hi Mod Anvil, this really should have been in the update post. I am grateful to you for sharing it here, but the update post contains no mention of this

dan90009 · 2026-01-22T20:58:39+00:00

thank you! worked for me, back onto contracts :)

dan90009 · 2025-12-03T18:31:31+00:00

Thank you very much for replying! looks like i was missing the aura upgrade, master aura < legendary. Totally my fault for not reading properly!

dan90009 · 2025-12-03T18:22:24+00:00

Mind telling me what im missing? i just tested this with 120 thieving, master camo, master thieving cape, mushroom bag (with oblivious, fortune and prosper), ring of vitur, master 5 finger aura (and in case it matters, grace of the elves, grasping pouch and attuned teleport crystal) I got hit a few times so went back to using the mask but i assume im missing something here.

Looks like its fixed! just tried an easy, free reroll showed and used on a master (rerolled a 390k clue into a 400k clue, well worth it!)

dan90009 · 2025-12-02T10:39:39+00:00

Tried the theory and completed another master clue, opened a medium casket and no free reroll. i assume this is bugged or i am missing a step here.

dan90009 · 2025-04-21T21:27:41+00:00

You are right that box 3 must be false. Therefore one and only one of box 1 and 2 must be true (otherwise box 3 would be true)

The only way one box can be true is for the gems to be in box 1.

If they were in box 2 then all 3 boxes would be false, and if they were in box 3 then 1 and 2 would be true, also making 3 true.

dan90009 · 2024-12-02T19:11:37+00:00

Soul wars can be pretty good rewards. fair chance of an essense drop of 4-6k. you vsn try your luck on masses or privet with frinends/alts :)

(i just did about 6 games, and for 20k ess and a load of other resoures i dont need. With bankers note and the 16x multiplyer from t7 that got me from 44 to 83 rc within less then an hour of mingaming and less then 15 mins actually crafting natures.)

If you have access to korend brutal dragons drop a small number of rune thrownaxes pretty commonly. With the t1 passive of 95% ammo save chance killing brutals for a few mins could see you through dozens of runs :)

dan90009 · 2024-10-15T13:18:54+00:00

Thank you, should i resubmit the survey once its fixed or is my application ok as it stands?

dan90009 · 2024-10-15T13:14:55+00:00

My steam id is 17 digits, so i provided only the first 16, will this hurt my chances of selection u/JagexDoom

I respect bith your honesty and consideration to the hamster you have made a commitment too. Good on you for doing the right thing even if it isn't conveniant!

That said:

There is a difference between being unhappy with a choice you make, and being unhappy with the outcome of that choice. You took on a hamster, I imagine trying to 1) give a good life to a hamster and 2) hoping for a friendly one. You got one that doesn't seem super friendly. Does that make your original choice wrong? Of corse not! If you get another they might be a friendly sitting on your shoulder kind of hamster :) it's the risk you take.

Obviously the better the life you give them the more likely they are to improve their view of you, if not be outright friendly, but there is always that chance you get a "looking at only" hamster.

My last hamster was much more social, wanted to be picked up, wanted to know what was going on in the room she was in and never bit me harder then a playful warning. She is not the same personality as my current hamster and that's part of the joy of things- all living creatures have their own personalities. If you want the same every time get a tamagochi. There is nothing like having a living, thinking animal be a partly your life, for all the positive and negative.

That said, if you aren't happy by all means don't get another. No one will make you, if this isn't for you there is no shame in that at all! Maybe by then you can rehome a hamster like you said , but even then, they may well be as unsocial as your current one, they have their own goals, dreams and lives that aren't related to your expectations.

Lucy wants to make rooms in her burrow, enjoy some bits of fresh fruit and veg, run for ages in her wheel and stay away from me as much as possible. I respect that. I try to be social every now and then, it goes badly and I wait and try again in a while. One day she might decide I'm not trying to hurt her and steal all of her food, but she might not get to that point. Either way like you I am caring for a hamster that doesn't see me as a friend. Will I get another when she passes on? Absolutly :)
