This is a joke right? THESE are double drops? We need 1000? The problem I have is you fundamentally broke all promos when you released the free keys. You made the specials too rare and you continually require more of them. You damage the bond market with ironman, and it's obvious.... now you gotta increases mems rate.

Tis the season...to capitalize on players buying buying buying spins, buying spins, buying spins!

Osrs doesn't have anything like this-I love that game. It seems to care about positive player experiences/content, rather than in rs3, where content is always guided by how much $$$$ you can extort/manipulate/milk out of players.


I HATE PROMO-SCAPE.

But I love osrs, runescape is back!


You shouldn't even call rs3 'runescape' at all. Call it

Ironman mode in rs3 does actually feel more like 'runescape' since you can't just buy your way to 99's.

Notice how 5+ people now have *all 200m* skills. That shows how easy the game has become. There's double experience EVERYWHERE!

And once again it will be impossible to get enough for these by skilling only. The only realistic way to get any of these will be to buy keys :/ So I'll not bother trying this time.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I find it very ironic that there are people ranting about this while wearing santa hats and party hats. The old rares were able to be picked up by anyone who was online during the events, now you need to do something to acquire them. I don't understand what's the point here, are you just envious for someone as you haven't yet got any of them? if so, should everyone be envious for those who were playing RS when for example Santa hats were dropped? This is what I meant it being ironical to rant about his and be wearing a santa hat.

If you don't get any rares, why cry about it? If you buy a lottery ticket and don't win, do you rant about it or just buy another ticket? Also please note that there's no way playing lottery without buying a ticket while you CAN get a lot of snowballs for free...

its not being ironic because the situation is not even remotely the same. jagex is literally selling rares to people, during the christmas event of all times.
ive spoken with people who have gotten the scythe and they straight up admitted that they bought keys just to get a rare. in absolutely no way is that similar to having them spawn on the ground for everyone to pick up.

my concern is not in that only some people will get them, but rather that the only realistic way to get them is by forking over money to jagex or spins. connoisseur of memes and carbohydrates

First you give some players 200 - 450 Treasure Hunter keys for free. Then a day later you add Christmas rares, that are rewarded by collecting enchanted snow, which is obtained from skilling, PvM, and mostly from Treasure Hunter . And the amount of winnable rares is limited. Bravo Jagex, Bravo. :|

Not only are the chances to win so insanely rigged, but the "consultation prize" you get, the damn lamp doesn't even give you 1k xp. Seriously Jagex, this is just down-right sickening. You lot have honestly become the Grinch(es) that stole Christmas from us.
