I think it was pretty obvious they were using us for free beta testing for the skill as it is anyway. I don't think they staff anywhere near the man power required to properly test these huge updates so meh!

Or they just lack testers that think like us. Perhaps hiring players is their best course of action. Stuff like this never gets found because they don't have testers that really push the content to its limits like the players do. We do need testers who "think efficiency" because usually that's how players come across issues (trying to find the fastest way to get something done). Jagex honestly seem like the type of people who do outdated methods. Like training Slayer by cannoning Daggs under the lighthouse.

They generally do nooby methods, they are "noob" players after all. Until we get testers who love efficiency, nothing will change. Why are players so good at breaking content? Because they're trying to be as efficient as possible, so test out a ton of things to see how far they can go. It's what happened with Invention - their team would never be capable of finding what the players did, and I think they know that. :s

I'm not sure what their thinking process is when trying to break their content, but it's definitely not the right one if we constantly feel like we're just beta testers for their content. .

To be fair, balancing things around the maximum potential of players isn't exactly a good way of going about things either. Theres definitely more players who take a casual approach to playing the game, so balancing things around maximum potential becomes a turn off for a majority of the game.

But either way, they certainly need to do a better job dealing with the gap between maximum efficiency and casual/intended methods.

I wonder how many Jmod personal accounts are over 2500 total

I know one two for certain but that's pretty much it lol Considering they struggle to do pvm without resorting to Jmod powers makes me think that they aren't even 2k total.
