(Cont. from post on previous page)

4) No consideration of player opinions
You never, ever, take the player opinions into account.
You always use two excuses:
a) You say that we're in the minority and that there's a silent majority supporting everything you do.
b) You say that what your doing is for the good of the game.
First, if you cared what happened to your country, would you vote?
Yes.
Are the opinions of people who DON'T vote taken into account?
No.
Forget the silent people, or find a way to get their opinions, for example, a polls page of the website or something.
You guys do it with Old School...
Second, let me inform you what "For the good of the game" means.
A game is good if people are happy with it.
People are unhappy with what you did, and usually it's always a large amount of players.
Therefore, what you keep doing is NOT for the good of the game; listening to the players is.
The only time you ever listen to the players is when they are glorifying your microtransactions or when you do some contest, and that contest generally only decides one small thing.
"Year of the player" my tail...

5) Oversimplifying, devaluing, and lack of difficulty
Easyscape is a term that comes to mind.
You keep implementing overpowered content such as runespan, lodestones, and the toolbelt making many items or content useless.
There is also no danger in the game world; you keep removing the aggressiveness of monsters because people keep afk training on them.
Did you ever consider that it's not the fault of aggressiveness, it's the fault of you for giving people the ability to afk combat with, you know, Momentum?
Well, it's your fault, and momentum's to blame, not aggressiveness.
Monsters should get their aggressiveness back, and many more monsters deserve aggressiveness.
Last on this topic, gravestones.
Nerf them.
Nobody is going to lose items from death so long as they last as long as they do.


I voted for League of Legends. You guys don't deserve any votes.

If they actually released frequent high quality updates I'd consider it. RS3 was a huge letdown considering all that happened was a new interface system (which I have mixed feelings about although overall positive) and a "battle" which was really just a passive grindfest. It used to be if you quit rs for a few months and came back you'd be struggling to keep up with all the new content there was. Now I recently quit for a couple months and came back, only difference I saw was runespan 2.0 which takes 5mins to master, and legalized RWT.

In past years I sure as heck would've voted for you no questions asked no hesitation etc.

Now that you've lost 80% + of your previous population you wonder why. Let's take a look shall we!!!
(Imagine what I say like a song, it'll be interesting... Just u wait!!!

Starting with the EOC 100k people quit in the first week
Then more people quit, PvP has no xp
You could've at least made some xp awards!!!
Now clan wars is dead, the only popular minigame
Theres no point going out to the towers, there's never a person there!
Lots of dumb glitches
You never listen to player feed back.
Stop making new crappy stuff
Just update the old!!!
Remember when you had to be careful, while doing quests,
Or even running by draynor
Holy *HI+ look out it's a jail guard!!
Now noobs got it easy
The game just isn't fun
Theres nothing to do except bol,
Which is boring as f'K!!!!
LOOK AT THE WILDY!!!
THERES NOT 3 PEOPLE YOUR LEVEL ANYMORE!!!
What's the point of this dumb game
When all the good things are gone!!!


(The songs over now)
But, although jagex you've done some horrible stuff.. You still get my vote because I haven't played any other online game, I was to busy looking for leftover GOOD things in this game.

Why're so many people logging onto the forums just to say "Oho, I WOULD have voted for you, but no!" Just... don't vote. I'm almost certain that I'm not the only one who rolled my eyes at most of the smug, sarky, "We told you so" folks on this thread...


You've also logged in, just to say you're rolling your eyes at those posts..

So no big difference since you're also complaining.

Well, considering Runescape is now Pay2Win.....


I will vote for you guys if you give me 2b ingame gp pls. Or when the new promotion comes out that has "Golden Joystick Armor!!!" on the SGS and maybe even a Golden Joystick held item on the SoF, I'd appreciate an unlimited amount of Runecoins and a lot of spins.


No, but in all honesty, there's no way I'd vote for Runescape to win this, because in the past year and a half, Jagex has done nothing but ruin the game. The fact you think you guys have a chance at winning is actually comical, at best.

Maybe if you actually removed all the micro-transactions and P2W elements and listened to players, you'd have a chance at winning.

You don't deserve it one bit.

The gameplay, along with skills and the economy is broken. For example smithing, spend hundreds of millions for 99, make rune plate. Tier 50/99 armour after achieving skill mastery. There is a similar story with other skills, you never took the effort to overhaul and keep them in line with all the stuff you kept releasing.


Then there are the trust issues with your community.

Sorry but you need to stop milking this game and just go away. 2013 has been a very bad year, and only the veteran players understand this.


Well I'm a veteran, and 2013 has NOT been a bad year. In my opinion, 2012 was a real disaster. All they've done for 2013 is release a massive war(In truth it WAS a group grind fest...), epic quests, a new skill, and better sounds and graphics. Instead of complaining about what ISN'T updated, go stick those in the suggestions forum to try and rally support for those issues, which in turn could get you that smithing overhaul, or some other overhaul. Quit being so narrow-minded and immature about every update Jagex releases. Try to make a change instead of sitting there complaining. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to make a suggestion about the smithing thing. Been meaning to do that myself for a while.

EDIT: Ditch banking pets and SOF. Banking pets are a buyable in-game advantage, and SOF is just "Get your daily advantages here." There's people who train legit, and nubs who buy their XP.
Looking at my post history in 2022 has made me realize I may have had a very minor case of serious brain damage as a kid.
