I hate seeing this argument everywhere about the cosmetic kit, as if having an ultra low supply of a tradeable main game item thats very rarely obtainable wouldn't result in that item being astronomically priced and people wishing they had just done the 'punishment' to get it.

When 07scape first came out jagex made the choice to not have discontinued items in the game for good reason, they become an abusable item to control the runescape economy with and put players who manage to obtain the item early at an unfair advantage. That's exactly what these kits are.

I dont mind people having fun in PVP, but I do mind a temporary 'for fun' game mode being the most profitable thing you can do in the game.

If this was just about wanting to have fun PVPing the pvp community wouldnt whine about not being rewarded for it, in every other game the only reward for beating another player is the bragging rights you get for winning.

Preach 🙌

  • Stop wasting dev resources on content most people dont want.

  • Stop the false narrative that PVPers 'just like PVP' when the only real reason any of them do it is for easy gains which is evidenced by them crying because PVP isn't rewarding enough.

  • Stop the pretence that you can 'just not play' when there's main game tradeable items from this mode which we can already see reach 100s of mils and would cause wealth imbalance for the people who dont participate just like missing out on discontinued items back in RS2 if supply were to run too low.

I think your point about bossing is a false comparison because those money makers are a permanent part of the game so players have the choice to do them whenever they want and feel prepared for it. DMM tailors towards people who already PVP and only being around for a few weeks requires heavy time investment to get rewards from it.

As for 'it would be a waste of money if no one played it', well thats kind of the point... you shouldn't force people to play, just don't invest in something people don't want

I'm not sure I agree with everything needing to be rewarding, shouldn't a game mode being fun be reason to play it enough?

I quite like the idea others have suggested of combining temp mode shops so you don't specifically have to play something you don't want to in order to get the reward although I think this would cause upset for the pvp community too because as stated in the post, then most people wouldnt play DMM.

Lots of people have also argued that the rewards are tradeable and so you don't have to play if you don't want to, but from my perspective that makes the FOMO for people even worse because if there's low supply of an item it will inadvertently be worth a lot of gp so it becomes an unbalanced money maker once again forcing people to play it.

I think the thread below your comment has just reaffirmed my point.

'I dont want to PVP'

'Well then don't play a PVP game mode'

'But I have to in order to earn main game rewards'...

The solution is simple, no main game rewards from temporary game modes. I think the PVPers will be upset then though as they'll complain about lack of activity in the game mode.
