Thank you for removing yourself from our discussion then. Meanwhile I can commune with the ones who actually know being pures is voluntary. Jagex has no obligation to cater to a small group of players and ignore the vast majority who want much better content with variety.


No one has claimed Jagex is obligated to do anything. RS3 has already set the precedent with the conversion of xp rewards to xp lamps during quests, specifically catering to pures. You know, pures, the ones that want to refuse certain xp. See, this change is absolutely worthless to normal accounts because they wouldn't refuse xp. So it's specifically catering to pures.

So, establishing the precedent that specifically caters to pures, RS3 has continued to do so for quests. Jagex has also specifically catered to pures in RS3 by specifically catering to them with stat resets. Normal accounts have no need to reset a stat for any reason, so once again we have specifically catered to pures.

Now that Jagex has specifically catered to pures in RS3 for some years now, what other content should be specifically catered to pures to make the game more enjoyable to them without compromising the game elsewhere?


They didn't do it for just for pures. That's for anybody who don't want certain xp. They don't have to be pures as the reward lamps aren't specific for skills not wanted by pures. This is variety and diversity I talked about. RS3 have a lot of such content with flexibilities for different kinds of players. You want to be level 50 in every skill, you can do that too. RS3 doesn't tailor male or force you into standardized builds. It is all our choices. They give us flexibilities, variety and diversity.
So do you have any ideas to actually enhance that flexibility as per the subject of this thread?

I already answered the question, and you did too perhaps you just don't realize. All the content is fine, including the pre-RS3 Obsidian armors. RS3 isn't likely to try to create official custom builds for pures or whatnots. They aren't likely to go back to old content and change them specifically for pures. They are moving forward with new content while giving us the flexibility to choose whether to receive xp on any lamps/stars. We also get an xp reset character.

Literally nothing new needs to be added as going forward, everybody can choose to get or not get xp in whatever skill, including pures and weird personal builds like level 50 of every skill.

Except that's exactly what they've been doing by turning quest xp rewards into lamps. They didn't have to do that. They went back to old content and changed them specifically for pures.

You can't praise Jagex for providing an avenue for unique and diverse account builds while simultaneously advocating that they should instead refrain from providing said avenue for unique and diverse account builds.

Again, they did that not just for pures. Anybody can choose to make any specific builds of their very own preference. If they wanted to do something just for pures, they wouldn't have to move the mountain to Mohamad when they could just easily have us talk to an NPC and reset our skills to a preset pure build.

Whatever you think but I am pretty sure most pures won't say level 50 of every skill is "pure" to them. Yet, we can do that if we wish with the current xp lamp/star from quests.

So why are you bringing up fictional account builds in a thread about pures?

What fictional account builds? They weren't fictional in OSRS only that they got voted down by their community. That's to rebut OP's failed attempt to direct players to OSRS.

Ahhhh....this thread brings back my happy memories at rock crabs in 2005-2007 when I would bet pures they couldn't kill a rock crab with a bronze spear. They ALWAYS proved me wrong :D Oddly enough they were never happy about it.

As others have said, you choose to limit yourself and RS3 has legacy and revo. Pvp in RS3 is honestly dead which was the main reason most people played a pure to begin with. If you just enjoy using a single combat style I would argue RS3 has gotten much better for that. Back in the day you would use melee for nearly everything. Magic at high levels was too expensive to be worth it unless the monsters required mage, and range was okay but still inferior to melee for most pvming. Now, even playing only legacy mode, I find myself using magic or ranged for almost everything, and even if you don't use the ideal style for most monsters it's rare you are held back too significantly for your preference.

This thread has been moved to the Game Content Suggestions Forum.

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


^ The above is the topic for this thread. I suggest the arguing over what has or has not happened in OSRS cease, as that is off-topic. Posts should be about whether or not you agree with the OP that more should be done with pures in mind, and why, and possibly make specific suggestions about what type of improvements you'd like to see.
