What "damage" when a lot of people want skilling outfits from playing the game, especially with no MTX involved?
The damage that we can now easily obtain outfits from minigames without playing the minigames. If minigame weren't already dead, they surely are now. I will never play pyramid plunder or stealing creation again, because now I have the outfits.

I know what people want, but that is not necessarily good for the game. I bet that people also want a free lamp in each skill that instantly gives them level 120. Would that be a good idea too then? Sadly it will probably come to that at some point.

Who care about minigames? If you really care, all the minigames, Spotlights, Thalers and whatnots are still here, and will still be here after DXP. Players, especially new players who come after this DXP Live event, can still enjoy the old minigames and Spotlights and such. Besides, Spotlights and Thaler and such have far more rewards than skilling outfits and can always add more, and DXP Token Store don't sell completion of achievements (like Comp, Trimed Comp, MQC requirements) minigames can offer.

My Coin of Enchantment is made useful again as we can now get Oil of Enchantment to recharge it. Essentially we can keep converting dummies and proteans we keep getting daily from playing RS3 to Oils now.

Pretty cool.

You don't have a clue.

It damages the game when rewards from minigames can be had without playing the minigames. I do not care about thalers or any other stupid ways of obtaining those outfits. They are just as damaging. Minigame rewards should be obtainable only from playing the minigames. These alternative ways are stupid. Just as stupid as leveling up with lamps and stars instead of playing the game.

I hate it when someone makes a game where you are rewarded for doing something, and then later on says "hey, if you don't want to play as intended, then you can get the same rewards in another way", thereby ruining the gameplay they made in the first place.

You absolutely don't have a clue. If minigames were only designed to have their rewards obtainable solely from playing those specific minigames, how come plenty of minigames rewards were tradeable?

TYVM for showing the counter example of leveling up with lamps. If skills were designed to be only levelled up by training that specific skill, how come Jagex put lamps in quest rewards and some minigames for over 15 years?

Being able to convert unused or useless protean items and dummies to a vast variety of useful items is also a great update. Now even master maxed or all-200-mil xp players can get cosmetics among other items, as well as turning saving up for new skills and expansion of existing skills over level 99 and such.
