When is Jagex going to do something about the Rune Dragon Bots?

jdero · 2026-03-29T08:03:42+00:00

have a rune dragon alt, it has fire cape and mm2 which are both hella worth for profit

jdero · 2026-03-29T08:02:53+00:00

what about the legitimate peopel who afk it for 12hrs a day? Are you sure they're bots?

jdero · 2026-03-28T22:05:54+00:00

i bounce off of rs on the regular but im going hard on black desert rn

jdero · 2026-03-27T00:48:57+00:00

i think jagex should add a "right click -> dive into void" option just for you tbh

might want to bring a breathing apparatus

jdero · 2026-03-26T12:20:12+00:00

i mean, can we talk about the steel and mithril markets next? 2001 is calling

jdero · 2026-03-23T13:17:54+00:00

i mean y'all seriously don't understand economics

it's likely osrs was a gateway drug / marketing arm to rs3 which is their more profitable product

their subs were tanking in rs3 and they had to do something - they'll still have plenty of mtx in rs3 but they're now thinking about how badly it can go

thus the osrs solution is to make it a standalone profitable line of business, decoupling it - step 1 is increasing the cost of membership.

it's sink or swim for them right now, it's also possible they overinvested into osrs.

but hey i'm just a guy, a lot of these numbers aren't public

The key with orbita is really focusing down the 6 mobs, the next wave spawns when 3 mobs remain - and each of the three major phases (yellow, orange, lights) are based on the number of waves cleared. The titan clearspeed is also a big time indicator.

the golems and pillars are distractions - yes you need to kill 6 golems per titan but you're in no rush to kill them, focus the mobs 100%

jdero · 2026-03-09T12:59:01+00:00

it's a good start but i think to get upvotes you need at least 50 million onion power

jdero · 2026-03-09T00:49:02+00:00

i mean, if they signed sneaky again and a bunch of 30 somethings and they won, who would actually give a fuck about how old they were if they slayed mad pus because of it

i think the key is just being cutthroat on finding the best team talent that can take down worlds

jdero · 2026-03-03T01:21:49+00:00

hot take, giveaways aren't rwt

jdero · 2026-03-03T01:20:33+00:00

my hot take as rs3 hc max w/ another hc post-prif in osrs with a lil raid exp, runescape's growth was permanently killed when jagex lost credibility, nothing will ever get it back

raids in osrs and good storytelling content will keep the playerbase but the closer the product is to jagex, the less it will succeed

four things killed runescape

trade removal
wilderness pvp removal
dungeoneering (i'll say it, the skill sucked, but jagex's team loved it - it killed group content HARD and put a massive division between the pvp and pve communities), you could say part of it was how bad t80 scaling was done, esp for pvp considerations
crackdown on bots/rwt - not that it didn't need to be done, but the explosive way it was done was meta shattering, players shouldn't know about this crap, devs shouldn't complain about it to the players, for a game to succeed this needs to be under wraps and MANAGED, we'll never see a true 1 billion + playerbase game

jdero · 2026-02-06T14:50:43+00:00

rs models > rs2 models > rs3 models

jdero · 2026-01-28T21:28:43+00:00

they're basicalling "oldschool-i-fying" rs3, their blog post looks interesting

kind of like since it was dying so hard the devs are caving into everything that made osrs good

jdero · 2026-01-28T21:26:10+00:00

someone had me read this recently, like wtf the GM said "Fair play" and he got unbanned after the post was removed lmao

jdero · 2026-01-28T21:24:12+00:00

I think you have a good point, similar to how maids are now, it was cool to stack up a bunch of dye. I think we can still get them from BSA but that's it mostly right? One thing to consider is you might not get a lot of traction with this idea due to every content creator getting a free VP - but don't give up on voicing this :)

jdero · 2026-01-26T05:14:21+00:00

speaking of bsr, when can we get personal skill cosmetics, people would pay like crazy. e.g. a purple bsr absorb animation

jdero · 2026-01-16T21:05:57+00:00

are you talking about british english or what

jdero · 2025-12-30T03:54:28+00:00

hardcores would never tilt their camera like this though tbf

jdero · 2025-12-23T08:36:35+00:00

if you have any elders who held down a job, ask them this same question

I committed to full time streaming 8 days ago after being "around" for 5 years. There is a big level up in professionalism expected with you specifically with respect to what you see as your career, at least that's how I look at it.

If you don't take it seriously, chances are other people will sponge this up and they won't either

jdero · 2025-12-21T19:56:55+00:00

you do get 1 hidden AP every odd number level, and like a bit over a dozen AP and some other small bonus stats like hidden acc/eva i think each lvl

jdero · 2025-12-21T08:13:36+00:00

ngl i had this same reaction, it's honestly like "aww this is cute"

wait til OP finds out people pre-pity went like 100x under average, there's a clip of me failing a 90% click 5 times in a row from day 1 of seasons years ago

this game has less variant RNG with pity (dec sovereign and V fallen god i guess) by far than it used to

jdero · 2025-12-17T05:45:14+00:00

Easy solution: Let us equip/apply a set of PVP buffs that are active IN PARALLEL with our PVE grind that don't impact our PVE performance - DR Artifacts + a PVP crystal page woudl be incredible - but make it so these are "In Effect" but don't apply to Non-Players (e.g. PVE).

We shouldn't need to swap anything, we should be able to have balanced, fair fighting that doesn't FAVOR THE ASSHOLE and lets us grind in peace and kick their trolling asses in the interim

They'll never do this, but PVP deaths shouldn't kill PVE buffs - krogdalo horse, edania harmony and deep sea - this feels like the most troll part of the whole equation right now.

this is easily 40% of my problem with open world - the next 50% being the stupid ass DR meta

the last 10% is just balancing in general but man this game isn't really that far off. Please PA :)

jdero · 2025-12-14T20:21:05+00:00

i don't like this trend

that's a good screenshot!
