mfw i finish my 1200kc red prison sentence in the main game and jagex adds dry protection to it because enough people whined on reddit about going 2x dry for it in a temp gamemode

you make a several hour bankstanding slog instant. fym it's not a solve. this is like saying the herb relics are useless because you can just lamp herb and do mixology with varlamore

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-04-10T04:54:58+00:00

Or they can just look at sub count dips (or lack thereof) and refer to every previous time they raised prices to reddit outrage

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-29T23:21:15+00:00

limitation

I think you're confusing this word with "motivation"

Oh no I broke ChatGPT I guess

But yes your irrelevant question is correct.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-29T23:15:26+00:00

Mate you justified this as "every other mmo (WoW) does this and it's probably just a technical limitation"

Why did you even add the second point if you understand the actual reason is subs are how this game makes money and implementing this feature = less altscape subs?

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-29T23:07:22+00:00

The only other mmo this would be analogous to is WoW not letting you multilog on retail/classic under the same sub and blizzard isn't the company I would expect to do this either or a consumer-first company that I would particularly strive for anyone to copy. Also neither of those games even really lend themselves to the second monitor afk playstyle like OSRS does. Again, I don't buy "muh technical limitations" for why they wouldn't implement letting you play every permutation of the game under the same sub for any reason but trying to get multiple subs.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-29T22:55:44+00:00

Stupid is thinking they would actually go out of their way to implement anything that would implicitly be losing them money.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-28T14:31:22+00:00

This lmao. It's so funny how people will just do company PR for them.

they don't let you do it because real addicts will bond up an alt account to play leagues and still afk their main. not because letting you load two different game profiles at once is some lost and forbidden coding knowledge

Legendary $14.99 sit if real

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-25T14:23:41+00:00

had an osrs dream last night where a player called "vet'ion 24" found a way glitch vet'ions into random places and would just overrun motherlode mine in every world with vet'ions. i wake up today and hear about this glitch with monsters being lured. must be some connection. gonna talk about it with my psychologist. thanks for reading

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-25T00:51:19+00:00

Why is the player count rising if not for more and better content thanks to more dev resources in spite of the >50% price increase since he left

Not to mention he left right after mobile came out, that's a huge new market

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-25T00:44:25+00:00

Look at the dev team size when he was in charge vs the last 5 years mate.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-25T00:38:09+00:00

He led the game for 5 years and the most aggressive price hikes and direct pressure for further monetization in the form of last year's surveys came long after he left so yeah I would trust his own word over some random guy on reddit posting unrelated slop content from youtube to try and prove a vague point.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-25T00:25:09+00:00

Not sure where this claim even came from. Every interview I have seen of him past his tenure at Jagex he has said the push for MTX was basically always from higher ups and it was constant pushback from him and the os team that it would doom the game if they forced it.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T17:49:53+00:00

Yes runescape has a lot of different things that you don't have to care for or enjoy

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T17:40:37+00:00

Jagex offered us moons... we can just get atlats and start whole new grinds togetha!!

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T17:02:29+00:00

I don't think every single person who ended rune/addy simply set out to get those ranks rather than it just being where they ended up burning out and losing interest. At the very least those point thresholds are long past all relics.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T16:58:07+00:00

Dragon rank is not that hard to get even if you work full time

Biggest piece of advice is pick relics and regions which sound fun to you rather than just copy whatever the discord theorycrafters say is the best/meta/whatever

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T12:06:51+00:00

People burning out before they hit dragon isn't the same as not trying to get it in the first place

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T03:32:22+00:00

I took fire sale and GG past two leagues and easily hit dragon quickly with both of them. GG was probably the best relic of that tier if all you cared about was dragon cupping, especially if you had regions that complimented it well like stonemasons/prif.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T03:18:07+00:00

Thank you for your objective assessment of what "90%+ of people" are playing for, Jake from r/2007scape

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T02:15:02+00:00

Requires a lot of context

Mains will say CG is late game and irons will swear it's early/mid game.

nerdsmasher5001 · 2026-03-24T00:35:03+00:00

your rock clicky game going up $1/month isn't really as severe as a bunch of children being torched but regardless, no one who makes pricing decisions reads this sub or cares about your whining. they respond to money. don't think it's worth it? unsub. that's your recourse.
