@Dilbert
I have all skills at 99 and I have like 15 skills at 120, I'm not training them either, and I shouldn't be expected to train past 120 since there is no reward.
The old daily system let you opt out of skills that you maxed out.
I want to focus on firemaking, since it's not 120. Why is it giving me fishing challenges?
It's railroading me to play a certain way, when the previous daily challenge system let me block out stuff I didn't want to do.
and it's also giving me less reward (lamps and TH keys) for playing every day. it's bullshit.
This is a weird update to defend Jagex on, when the entire community is pretty much unified in their hatred of it.

Two concerns about the recent "HERO PASS - PLAYER FEEDBACK UPDATE #1" post from today:
1) A Moderate player can achieve 99 levels with normal play time. So, that's a minimum of 250 mins (4 hours, 10 mins) of game time a day. Now that doesn't include banking, switching skills, traveling time, etc. So, it's likely closer to at least 4.5 hours (and god forbid you're chatting in game and forget to click to keep skilling or whatever -- those minutes due to inattention also add up).
And, what if you miss a day? Then you have to spread those 4+ hours over other days, or 8+ if you miss 2 days, etc. I find it difficult to believe that many will be able to achieve level 99 with a moderate amount of play (although perhaps we define moderate differently). Many Runescapers are actually adults with families and responsibilities. What a slap in the face these requirements are, tbh. And it falls far short of work/play/balance that I believe you mention from time to time.
2) You spoke a fair bit about the "rewarding" Hero points. Yet with what are we being rewarded? A few buffs? Yes, some of them are nice, IF they apply to how you play the game. But the costume overrides? Why do we need so many ugly armour overrides in this game (that all look fairly similar, frankly)? I realize people mock "fashionscape" but given how few people I see running around in full, ugly armour overrides, do people really like them? I see a lot of overrides being used but most of them are cute or quirky or fun, or people showing off high level armour to flex (and fairplay to them).
So no, a good many of those "rewards" aren't actually very rewarding. What about cute pets? Teleport overrides? Actually cute/fun/quirky costume overrides? Seriously, you need new creative staff if you can only keep coming up with the same things (unless they're doing what they're asked to do so players will spend real life money for the cute/quirky/fun stuff).
Please do better next time.
