I was looking forward to this update as I have 2 other friends that were going to group up with me. What is now putting us off is the fact there will be no group banking and only certain things possibly being allowed to be traded between members of the group. We had already discussed assigning specific roles within the group and then trading those resources to one another. For example I would concentrate on farming, herblore, mining, slayer and other gathering skills, while another member would then turn those commodities into items for Invention disassembly, high alchemy, cooked food, potions, summoning pouches etc, while the last person would concentrate on the bossing side of things for weapons and armour. As this update doesn't sound like it's going in that direction we will not bother creating new accounts. If things do change then count us in. I just hope OSRS doesn't come out with this mode with the ability as I've mentioned when they release group ironman or we will be doing it on there instead. RS3 doesn't need to lose more players to OS because they cater better towards what the players want.


So you only want the good this for yourself is what your saying here. I understand where your coming from but people from OSRS might also like to play this. And just like you said OS caters better towards what players want. So if the people in OSRS want group Ironman why shouldn't the devs give it to them?

Group Ironman is dead and with TAPP being cancelled too it's unlikely any free Devs would be able try to push the project.

I figured I'd share it for anyone who hasn't gotten the news yet, Mod Poerkie confirmed it in this Reddit thread.

Listen you guys have destroyed runescape culture over and over again making us all adapt constantly over the past 10+ years. Please do not ruin and discredit the ironman gameplay by making this gamemode. Why would you play an ironman if you could share banks and trade amongst each other?! Just play a normal account if you want that garbage. This idea is so silly. If anything implement a system like the slayer partner system, where ironmen/woman can temperarily join for dungeoneering/bossing and other activities. Please leave this one alone jagex developers for the love of Runescape Gods. The definition and dignity of being an ironman is to not be able to trade or interact with other players by taking the easy way out. You get the full gameplay experience this way. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for thinking about messing with the most legitamate gameplay this game has. Kill or be Killed
