Kind of annoyed all the cosmetics have been moved from oddments to yak coins?

This new yak trak is pure garbage for non-premium players by the way, there is not a single cosmetic on the "free" side, it's all combat dummies and proteans (useless junk).

The coins can only be obtained from the premium side, and cosmetics which were previously purchasable with oddments are now only purchasable with Yak coins?
So basically we have to pay for this crap now.

oh and the Yak coins go away after the trail ends, HILARIOUS.

What you gonna take away next lmao.

This only hurts people who were saving oddments to buy cosmetics, and benefits greedy jagex by forcing people to buy bonds and grind out this crappy yak trash event.

its almost like jagex wants to make money off the game it owns?

but yes its pretty awful, sadly there isnt much the players can do about it.
yak track is something we choose to do as players not something were forced to do. pssst....we know who you are. Hail Sithis!

ive noticed this last season when they only implemented 2-3 cosmetics for the free track, usually it was 1 out of every 5-10 tasks. i suspected this is what they were planning to do this season because of the turn they took last season. with the exception of the coins this time ofcourse. unfortunately players with low income will be forced to miss out or save enough gp to buy bonds that have gone up in price on the grand exchange astronomically since yak track was released.

First, a lot of Oddments Store cosmetics are still there, and can't be obtained without Oddments.

Unused Yak Coins may be discarded at the end of a Yak Track, but I'll think the shop remains there and we can obtain Yak Coins again in the future Yak Tracks. It is similar to the Seasonal Event shops.

That's not the problem.

The issue is the cosmetics which were previously buyable with oddments, are now ONLY buyable with Yak coins.

Yak coins are a lot more expensive and difficult to get ahold of, you can only get them by buying bonds. Which is bullshit, they offer no cosmetics to players without premium.

I was saving oddments and then they randomly make this change.
it's worse for me in every possible way.

Not true at all. Yak Coins come easily just by doing Yak Tracks for free, especially every task after the 50th guarantees us one. Essentially we can get hundreds of free Yak Coins and far more than buy out all new cosmetic every Yak Track.

There is a big advantage for players who want to play to earn the cosmetics instead of paying for Oddments.

you are factually incorrect. You cannot get Yak coins for free

you have to pay for premium / bonds. they aren't free.

The free side of the yak trak contains no yak coins in the rewards.

That's what I meant. Once when we unlock the Premier track, we can earn hundreds of Yak Coins just by playing the game. There is no such option with Oddments.

Ohh Dear-Always the Jagex "world Guardian" and loyal defender.
This yak track event is the worse one yet. I fear worse ones are still to come. For the most part I just skill/kill. The "free" rewards are just to sad. It's not about jagex making money-it's about jagex going in the direction of P2W
