Let's say you smashed 250 pumpkins in 2 days or 125 in one day, you will be getting 125 x 25 = 3,125 H'oddment per day going forward just from smashing pumpkins.
That's all well and good if all you do is play RuneScape every waking moment of every day.
Some of us actually have lives. Some of us.
Totally wrong, as I spent 5 minutes doing the Smashing Pumpkin Party event every hour for a few times a day. A total of like 30 minutes actual play time per day got me close to 100 pumpkins or 2.5k H'Oddments already.
Make no mistakes, we are not talking about spending 16 hours a day for two months for a competition or just a chance to win an exclusive prizes in RS3. There is no competition, and no exclusive prizes for grinding long hours in this causal event.
Thank you for admitting your highly inflated pumpkin smash count comes from participating in the Smashing Pumpkin Parties. OF COURSE you are going to be given large numbers of pumpkins to smash in a very short amount of time. High reward for little effort is what you pay for.
These parties are not available to free players. We quite literally are not invited to the parties.
Since these parties are the primary source of pumpkins, your estimations of time cost and pumpkin yield are optimistic to the point of absurdity for free players.
I can promise you, no casual F2P is going to be smashing 125 pumpkins every day. Not even close. Any free player approaching such totals most likely plays this game too damn much.
Can the event be played casually? Sure. The rewards for doing so, even after the h'oddment buff, are not exactly impressive, though. I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

Please don't put words in my mouth. I absolutely didn't admit the "highly inflated" pumpkin smash count. I actually gave an average of 10, but the highest I got was 17.
Eww. I put nothing in your mouth. Apparently, you do not enjoy the taste of your own medicine.

Clearly, you said you received h'oddments by smashing pumpkins at Smashing Pumpkin Parties - far more h'oddments than any free player could hope to gain in a comparable period of time. Thus, the numbers in P2P are in fact highly inflated (in other words, much greater) when compared to F2P. I was not saying you made up your numbers. On the contrary, they are most likely typical - for a member. They are just unrealistic for a free player.
Original message details are unavailable.
I also gave everything the method how to get to the pumpkins easily without searching for them. I just do the parties in a higher population world and look for the gathering of white dots on my minimap and I just go there and smash. It works at least 80% of the time. We have 5 minutes for each hourly party. It is pretty easy to get 10 if you have a decent size party. If you play in a Legacy Only World, perhaps you only get 3 pumpkins per event if you have to search for them yourselves.
Again, there are no such parties in F2P. Come visit us if you do not believe me.
Edit: Fixed a quote to clearly show it is a quote. I've been putting out fire with gasoline!

What does it mean to all the players. I didn't write specifically for F2P regarding parties. Please don't deflect your originally topic I replied to - "highly inflated" pumpkin smash count. If you are F2P and can't find a party, why do you even care about pumpkin smash count?

Of course you did not mention free players. You showed absolutely no consideration to F2P at all, much like Jagex all too often. At least you realize that.
It is odd you still appear to struggle with the reality that the number of pumpkins available to smash in P2P is in fact much greater - or highly inflated - when compared to what is available to free players. There are no pumpkin parties in F2P. It is not a matter of being unable to find a party. One cannot find that which does not exist.
Why can you not understand? Are you deliberately being obtuse, or are you just slow? I've been putting out fire with gasoline!
