(As a result there are now over 70,000 200m skills with that number growing daily. A few years from now that number will likely be over 200k. )


And???? I dont see a problem there! People are just achieving theire 200 mil exp goals. No to this suggestion. 200 mill grind for all skills takes a lot of years enyways.

He did, in like the 2nd sentence of his opening post...

And its not really his job to anyways, since he's not claiming that his suggestion will impact a significant amount of players. °l||l° Modest Skillers T7 Citadel | Skilling clan recruiting players. °l||l°

I agree xp cap needs to increase, 200ms are much easier to get nowadays, they are also totally meaningless, i personally don't skill much now as i know once i 5.6b id likely phase out and quit runescape.

Also increasing xp cap would do the following benefits IMO

- Gold sink for the game due to high level players skilling/buyables, which in turn would make money making methods for lower level players and drop the prices of overpriced rares.

- Players with maxed skills can regain xp and do skills they enjoy once more, which would also likely bring more players back to runescape, especially those 5.6 that have quit due to boredom.

a couple of things

i also thought id leave rs after getting 200m all that happened 2 years ago now. but im still here, theres plenty to do apart from xp

-gold sink - there will be no gold sink the gp from people getting the increased 200m xp the wealth is not disappearing its just being dispersed to other players. so no actual gold sink at all. item sink yes

- im maxed skills, i still do the skills i enjoy, ive reset my slayer counter 4 times and it now says 105m xp (905m total xp in slayer) just because im 200m doesnt mean i physically cant still do it and enjoy it. you still can nothing is stopping you from still doing the skills you enjoy

Great discussion!

And yeah this thread is here to discuss the idea and look at the xp table. All opinions welcome.

I expect to max xp in 3-4 years. After that there will be plenty of things to do that don't involve xp. Bossing, achievements, etc.

But 10-15 years from now, I hope that skills xp cap in increased instead of adding several more new skills. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Instead of increasing the XP cap, why don't we decrease all XP rates down to 10% of what they are currently?

This would do the same job as increasing the cap, whilst not requiring to rewrite the entire code the game is based on.

As i understand what you are saying here, first to 200m wins 1st place, second place and so on and when you do finally make it there your going to be rank 200k.

So there is a way around this and that's with introducing a daily, monthly leader board.

So for capped players they cannot gain any more xp in the total xp field but they could gain a secondary xp in daily and monthly fields up to the cap of 200m.

By doing this Jagex could award the top 5 daily/monthly players with a bond allowing the xp race and also allowing every player the chance to be at the top if they decide to put the effort in.
