The took the stats off comp and made it "passive" making kiln cape bis, now one giant reason for maxing other than getting all skills to 99, was the max guild. Now that War's retreat is out, it's got everything the max guild has and more, so why even bother getting either of the capes/achievements? They've been devalued beyond belief, this is really frustrating.

How is being maxed to pvm properly a good thing? It takes a long ass time to get to certain bosses without a boss portal.

Don't worry though, the ambiance isn't that fitting in War's Retreat, so max guild will still remain the ed8 guild.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

That's a good thing; 'locking' PvM behind comp was (almost) the most idiotic thing ever

...and the cape, and title, and ... clout? If you don't want to grind for max then don't max.

...then don't max, it's simple as.

No. Nothing has been 'devalued', it's been reappropriated (I know it's 6 syllables which is probably hard, but it's a good word to know; google it) which has been needed for the longest time - the changes made to comp were probably the the best (or only, barring M&S rework) real updates from 2019. @Chee__RS

Max guild is still the better bank tele because you land ~60% closer and it has ge access. It also has a potion decanter/crystal singer. Not to mention it retains its boss portal so maxing brings one's total portals to 3 and distance from bank to altar and portal are shorter.

That said, during the recent stream they mentioned now that the guild has lost some of it's uniqueness some added skilling oriented functionality are being considered, which imo would be appreciated. Look in the spoiler.
Why are you taking orders from a signature?

Whilst I agree that being able to PvM properly should not be locked behind being maxed, War's retreat has been implemented way too late.

For 5 years people have been maxing to be able to enjoy the leisure of being able to PvM freely, and obviously maxing is a grind. To all of a sudden just give that ability to any old donk with level 60 combat is fucking stupid.

It means that there is a huge inrush of people flooding bosses which will crash the price of items (very notably Khopesh's because Magister was very very annoying to camp without the portal.)

What they should have done instead is locked the ability to use PvM portals [except maybe the reaper and highlight (but certainly the choose your own)] behind
Final Boss
. The reason for this is that, much like maxing, it is a very grindy acheivement to get, but it actually relates to PvM. So now people have two choices, one holistic, and one PvM related (both of which take around the same time) to unlock PvM portal(s).

This way it wouldn't have devalued the time and effort put in by those who have maxed for the convenience thus far, while giving people who just want to PvM an option, rather than just skilling.
