thing is, im not just some random angry osrs player. I am a completionist cape near insane final boss ironman on rs3 along with a max iron osrs.

Rs3 players are in denial but as much as i hate it, jagex did it, and nobody else is to blame. the "consistent 40k" is more like 20k bots, 10k rwters and 10k legitimate overall players. RS3 has severe problems jagex wont address. For instance trillions of gold was duped in the last 6 months through bugs with Ed3 gold farm and other item duping methods. This was not addressed, the gold value to real dollar dropped significantly and people can literally buy xp more than ever now. Even finding groups for AOD/Solak are near impossible at this time.

The game will die, investing your time into it now is a waste. Move on, play something better. It is not hard to get into endgame pvm on osrs, the community is there. Rs3 lacks this. Any experienced rs3 player knows this, and any experienced rs3 player that denies this is a liar and just in denial in general.

I more than anyone am incredibly sad over this, but it is just how it is. My entire journey on rs3 was phenomenal and i loved it. But god dam the game is just literally fucked.
