Definitely agree. Spin-off rares is better business for Jagex.


Agree.

Since theyve set a president of not rereleasing old rares, they should stick to it and not falter.


I think this is a very clever and strategic move on Jagex's part. There was a poll in the past about reintroducing holiday items that passed, but no action taken. Reintroducing OG rares would be controversial, but they've effectively reintroduced very similar (albeit unique) items. I imagine they've gained a lot of revenue from the membership and sharp microtransaction activity from these promos.

Says who? You? Rs3 is for those who want to play Rs3. Speak for yourself lol


Says the ppl who voiced against rereleasing rares in the polls and everything else thus far.

Otherwise they would have by now.


The problem with your argument is that it works against you. Do you understand that OSRS has more player base than RS3? And they rerelease rares every now and then? So according to that logic, it would make more sense to rerelease ;)

But I am not making an argument with this as I really could not care less. However, my argument stands and it seems that nobody has a good counter other than "It will hurt my feelings"

It's just not necessary and lacks imagination. This green santa and gphat are a good example of how they should do rares, at least in part. Make new ones that reference the old ones without encroaching on them too much, but also use some imagination and come up with new ones.

Personally I think they should go back to the OG method, drop a pre-determined and finite amount of them around the map and let people go hunting for them

I was always wondering how would that look but it seems like interesting idea. Drop like 5K scythes or whatever in period of few hours and good luck lol
The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.

Anyway, I’m having fun with the new rares. I don’t really mind that Destruction has her cracker wings, and I don’t :( Because I have rubber chicken, which comes with a dance emote. (People wrongly assume it’s lame like rubber Turkey.)

But more seriously, many older players would quit over phats. They might rarely log in but would have kids, bond money, etc.

Something exclusive should remain, otherwise there’s no game.
.

But that is not the game, isn't Trip? RuneScape is not a game for you to come and hoard on rares. If that was the case, only a few selected players were able to play the game unless Jagex keeps rereleasing some of the rares for the newer player base.

"Pepe, but rares are supposed to be exclusives. Not everybody can have them!" Well, that sounds selfish.
Not everyone may have bunny ears.

If phats become too expensive, a very simple fix exists. Make them untradeable.

For most of this game’s existence, pursuing rares has been the game. Some have put in 400, 600, maybe more, days of gameplay. I fear looking at mine. It is unfair to erase the achievement of older players.

If you don’t like their value, make them untradeable. This game is vastly easier than before, vastly faster anyway. Only rares remain to store that value.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

I would personally be happy if rares returned. I could buy all my old rare friends. But the game isn’t about me. It’s unfair to those who’ve held for so many years.
