I used to hate bosses like you mentioned; that's why I always sat at GWD during my OTG days rather than at Corp. The consistency was nice.

That being said, I really enjoy QBD now. Knowing you can go for 30 mins and you'll still make the same gp/hr is pretty nice, but on the flip side, Nex is pretty fun in that respect too; the drops are worth something, however she is still pretty fun to poke as her drops are not that rare. The same applied to GWD (pre-EoC where you didn't kill 900 per hour)/

I guess ultimately I wish armor had reason to be valuable. Paying 10m (well I guess its more now) for the best armor in the game (meaning t90 power armor) seems...... really bad. Im sure its not solely degrade to dust's fault, but it plays a role. Psychologically I don't think people really want to use degrade to dust gear, they like the feeling of ownership of their items (Even if the total cost/hr is about the same as Nex gear lol). So this just turns the high end gear market into a sloppy mess of little demand. Combined with the fact that most of the content in the game is doable in much lesser armor (Hello void!) and you end up with very undesirable end game armor.

TBH, I hate d2d gear. I would pay a good bit for t90 dps gear that degraded to broken and was repairable. As it is though, I use them only rarely as a crutch or where I really need the extra little boost. But even then, my augmented nex gear has likely surpassed unaugmented t90.

Or maybe the robots Forum mods are getting rebellious? I can see it now: In a world where Jagex has been overthrown and Forum and Player mods rule the world with an iron fist. Planet Of The Mods coming summer 2016.

Bit of an unfair fight since we literally can't augment the t90 stuff, but yeah augmented t80 is definitely better. I ended up just using malevolent and tectonic because the cost/hr of using them was pretty much the same as Torva and Virtus was, so I opted for the better stuff. Sirenic was always a bit more expensive (Go figure, the one thing people can't specifically camp for being the more expensive armor) and I don't range too many things so I didn't use it a whole lot.

But yeah, people have shown time and time again they're not willing to pay high prices for d2d gear. I bet if armor pieces were 1/500 from Vorago (so 1/100 per kill) a whole set would be worth over 100m still currently. Same could be said for RotS.

In hindsight, I really have no clue why Jagex moved to the d2d system. I can't think of anything its done positive that a decent rarity system for unique drops couldn't of done as well. Oh well :s. My conspiracy theory has always told me they wanted all of this end game gear to be more accessible for a lot of people, and having Nex gear and Spirit shields being so unaccessible was a huge negative in their eyes.

The most amusing part is that specific thread really had nothing to do with HLF. Like, low levels could have answered that question just as well as any maxed person could have. There were no pictures, there was really no room for much discussion of anything, it was just kinda... there.

I think point 3 would have some merit but you never know how it'll go until it happens lol
