Hi Jagex, I wish I could say it's been a long time old friend, but that would be a lie. I feel we are no longer friends.
I have a different perspective on the hero pass buffs in relation to the rs3 combat system. Keep in mind this view point is admittedly limited to me and I would assume a very small amount of the community.
I have neurological issues that keep me from making accurate muscle movements and reactions. It takes me longer to type than most without messing up, among other things. The issue is combat. Any bossing worth doing involves timing abilities to be able to avoid taking massive damage. Currently the only boss I can do even halfway decent is 5 mechanic arch glacor because I only have to have use one ability for frost cannon (and vindicta because I can click out of the way). Everything else is WAY harder for me because I cannot do even partial manual. I enjoy the weapons and look of rs3 which is why I didn't want to go play osrs, and I haven't made a post about it since its introduction years ago.
But hero pass gave me a bit of hope I could eventually get the damage reduction, and maybe be able to kill a few more bosses than I could other wise. Don't get me wrong, I still dislike it, and wish it had been done in addition to yak track rather than replacing it, but it was the only potentially good thing I saw about it. I wish we could go back to no buyable content aside from bonds/rune metrics.
Maybe update Miscellania to where you have a chance of keys/exp lamps/yak trak stuff/clue caskets instead of supplies since it is dead content, and would act as another gold sink that all members could access.
I get this is mostly a me issue, and I don't expect anything to be done about it (it wouldn't even be fair to others if it was). I just wanted to get it off my chest that current combat and bossing isn't viable for all, and I had hoped the damage reduction would allow me to enjoy more aspects of the game. Thank you for your time. For Guthix.
