Dilbert2001,
As usual, you simply don’t get it. This has gone way beyond quantifying why apples are better than oranges (or vice versa).
Semantics aside, the update was bad (which I don’t need to prove to you because Jagex admitted they messed up!!) because it was rushed through half baked, without any player consent or involvement. There is an emotional level of anger and betrayal by many in the community, which just because you may not understand, does not mean that it doesn’t exist.
What should have happened before the changes went down, was Jagex should have left dailies alone to begin with, and consulted the community about the retirement of the Yak Track system and replacement with the Hero Pass system. There could have been dialogs about what parts were working and what parts weren’t, there could have been polls as to what cosmetics the community would like to see, it could have even been monetized by featuring a promotion for new first-time Premier subscribers (possibly as a bonus offer for Amazon Prime members?) tied in with the Hero Pass to encourage people to get the most out of the latest and greatest that Runescape has to offer.
If you simply can’t understand the update was bad because:
-It removed longstanding features of the game without any consent/consultation
-It did not consider the differing gameplay styles of their different customers leading certain players to feel alienated and devalued as members of the community
-It missed opportunities for player engagement, as well as product placement and promotion
-The Dailies will be brought back but will take WEEKS & players probably won’t get Skips back
-The new system should have been planned, tested and player approved BEFORE it was released!!! Big deal here!
If you just can’t understand why these things made the launch of Hero Pass one of the WORST updates in YEARS then you are simply beyond reason or help.
