The comp/comp(t) capes are the history of the game. What is being attempted is, why should history even matter? Why not just give everyone access to the comp cape? Does it matter at all that RuneScape is the longest running mmorpg?

I wonder how many people are against Treasure Hunter and for the Comp rework? It's the same thing, except the rework would be free.

The thing about the rework is, it needs to respect history and the dedication individuals have given to the entire game - not just combat.

This rework is seems to enforce the idea that RuneScape will become CombatScape, and appeal to short-term players... Yeah, I login, bought some keys, did the current boss, and left to do something else. I'm maxed in combat, have 90 quest points, other skills are lvl 30, and idk where or what varrock is, and I got enough bonds to have t92 weapons and armour. Yes, these people should be allowed to play and welcomed into the game - do they deserve best in slot though? My Threads:

"Again, the time investment is so much smaller. Grinding a mini-game for 24 hours is nothing compared to the grind that is comp."

here is a list of some of the things i found going through my presets for pvm

combo potions (supreme ovls, replenishments etc)
augments
ring of vigour
asylum surgeon ring
curses
blood essences
max guild teleport
tiranwn quiver
elite enhanced excalibur
lunar spells
livid farm spells
ancient spells
seren spells
jas boost
superior scrimshaws
sunshine/deaths swiftness/natural instinct
dreadnips
dominion mines
ingenuity of the humans
guthix staff
illuminated god books
mutated dazing shot
bladed dive
seers diary bolt boost

you need most of the quests done, post quest content completed, 99+ in all skills, 500 vyrewatch cremated, seers and elf diaries done, 24 hours of livid farm, 500 bosses killed in dominion tower, very far into ports, 114 invention, wildy mage arena done and ~110 floors in shattered worlds.

Almost none of that is combat related, and you're expected to have most if not all of that if you want to kill bosses on a decent team. this is easily hundreds of hours unlocking content. What's more, most of this stuff is things you pick up on the way to comp anyway.

Nuking the completionist cape's usefulness because "
you shouldn’t feel compelled to play content you don’t want to anymore."
is idiotic and makes me question whether the people at jagex who came up with this have ever actually played their own game. You cannot avoid doing things you don't want to do when most of the game's content is locked behind quests, minigames and skills. there's always going to be things you don't want to do, but have to to unlock a piece of content you need.

Well looking at it from my pov, what appears to have happened is that jagex are listening to the combat team of eoc fanboys and for the reason that they seem to think they can have best in slot cape for doing fuck all while everyone else is forced to do their shitty eoc bosses for every fucking cape., even fucking quest cape, while I might add removing my posts so the trolls can carry on posting shit, just like in the eoc feedback when they stole my ideas for revolution and legacy.

It is because it's supposed to represent completionism, yet it doesn't. It picks and chooses what it wants to make you do. There's inconsistency and the fact you agree it needs more requirements suggests that you feel it's not representing what it should. That's why a rework is taking place: to address its evident problems and try to come up with solutions.
Was earlier leveling in Hall of Memories, when I noticed that you can get achievement/title "the Archivist" there, but funnily enough.. it's not required for either comp nor trimmed comp.

Just a bit baffling when it's called "comp", people keep yapping how it's for people who have "completed" the game, but it's missing quite many things. But if somebody even dares to suggest to remove something bossing related, all hell is loose and apparently you don't deserve it.
