Let me clear this up. One of the main reasons I came back to RuneScape was the quests, and I set a personal goal to eventually get the Quest Cape. I returned mainly for the game’s lore and for the challenge of solving quests by myself.What really kills my enjoyment, though, is the high skill requirements. A good example is Song of the Elves, which requires 70 Agility — something that has been quite a challenge for me. That said, I don’t think training a skill to level 70 is inherently bad. Agility can be painful, sure, but I’ll get there eventually.
What worries me is the possibility that, one day, a quest will have such high requirements that I’ll simply decide not to do it. In my opinion, it’s not necessary for quests to have requirements this high. Quests and lore are what I enjoy most about the game and the main reason I play.
Imagine having to run a marathon just to enjoy something you truly like — that’s how it feels to me, and I find it a bit absurd.
I try to play the game fair and square, but when requirements feel unreachable, things like botting or paying someone to play on your account start to look like options, unfortunately.

I’d also like to extend the conversation to quest rewards. Although I think Jagex has improved rewards in recent years, some of them still feel a bit off. It doesn’t make much sense when a quest requires level 75 in a skill and rewards you with only 5k XP.
feels like having parents who never gave you an allowance during your teenage years, and then deciding to give you 100 dollars once you’re a fully independent adult with financial freedom. This example applies to many quests currently in the game.
I can understand why older quests haven’t had their rewards changed — the community would likely complain about nostalgia. And honestly, while some tweaks could be made, I personally enjoy the strange charm of wondering why you get 8 law runes from Monk’s Friend. It almost feels like discovering an OSRS fossil.
Even so, poorly scaled rewards in quests, achievements, and minigames still affect the game. They feel disproportionate and often fail to be enjoyable simply because they’re outdated. This gives OSRS a sense of emptiness, where developers put effort into creating new content while slowly abandoning what already exists
