I have over 10 20+ yr pure accounts that I'd like to actually play.

I have been playing longer than a lot of mods.

I started in beta.

Why is it that since Mod Mark ruined Rs3, and introduced EoC, nothing has been done to encourage pure playstyles or reasonable quest requirements when it was such a huge part of classic?

It may be a niche playstyle, but the majority of runescape players literally went over to OSRS because they think the Mods made bad choices for Pures and PK/wildy.

Why do you think OSRS has more than double the players of RS3?

Can you, MODS, please make the game better and also make it a game for pures, instead of trying to force me to quit because I am unhappy?

TLDR: Mods aren't doing enough for pure players, instead trying to force them to quit and play OSRS.

PS: Not interested in OSRS, but also hard to play RS3 with so many nerfs to pures.

I also ran a pure clan with 30 + members and we ran wildy every day, so there is a market for it.

RS3 has come a long way, and it HAS become MORE pure friendly, BUT it could be improved, a lot, easily, meaning the mods are not trying to cater to a good portion of their population.

For example:

The requirement to use Obsidian armor is 60 defense, because it was nerfed, originally T80.

However, the requirement to use it is still 80 defense because of the quest requirements for
Brink of Extinction.

Right, so you are requiring 80 defense for T60 armor, for no reason. This directly affects pures trying to get their igneous cape/kiln cape.

Also, you require 75 magic for Elder Kiln, why not just make the requirements the challenge of defeating the minigame? For a power cape, the Igneous capes are BiS, but they are behind a wall of challenges already.

A low level pure will not be able to beat fight kiln/Zuk anyways. I should be able to access and attempt these challenges as a mid level pure (WITHOUT COMPROMISING COMBAT SKILL LEVELS), and if I successfully beat it, I should be rewarded. This is great content, especially for streamers.

This is a very bad approach/philosophy.

There is content walling (blocking content behind skill levels)

And, then there is individual skill walls. (you hit a skill ceiling as a player)

Playing a pure optimally should allow for opportunities to test your build to it's fullest, you should not be forced to miss out on opportunities to do this (such as entering the fight kiln) just because of an unrelated combat skill (especially if you're a melee pure)

TLDR: I have the combat stats to take on fight kiln, you are restricting challenging gameplay and in turn, not allowing me the same buffs as a maxed character, making pures even weaker in pvp.

If your gameplay is restricted by skills it should be a (user ceiling) not an arbitrary number from quest requirements.

.

Yeah, but this is an obvious oversight, they changed the quest rewards, and tier of the rewards.

And, kept the requirements at 80, which means, you still need 80 defense for a t60 set.

This is plainly, poor design, and implementation from people who are supposed to be 20 + year veterans of the game. It was nerfed not long after release. Someone needs to learn how to design and balance correctly.

I understand you want power creep walls and skill requirements serve that purpose, but half of these are unwarranted.

It's a wonder why RS3 is dying.

ohhh another thread saying rs is dying

you are like what 16 years late on that. been seeing it for that long atleast



I can't be late when I was a beta tester who started before you.
You're the one who is late.

RS3 has 50k active subs/ave daily. About 10-20k are bots.
Ever wonder why there is only 500 - 700 people in NA on world 2 playing early morning?
The statistics don't lie.

You can live in your delusional fantasy until they take the servers down and all your left with is OSRS.

If you think 50k with 10k + bots is a healthy MMO pop, especially when Runescape USED TO BE the BIGGEST MMO to date, then you would make a terrible Mod.
