1. reddit is corrupt. "family is everything." paid gamers op reddit with a swarm of bought high karma clones to upvote themselves.

2. youtube/google are corrupt. make some video "trying to scam high levels" or something, and have swarm of dummies hit, watch, etc; and then google itself will find those more and more relevant in search results.

3. rsof is 20 years old and groaning under band aids put on old UBB, and probably only has 1 guy who remembers how to do any admin work here. Nonetheless rsof is moderated, pruned, and yet... has always had the implied threat of penalties to your game account, and that can be a very risky thing... for example when someone gets 200m inv in a day right above a jagex employee in the top 20. that deserved scrutiny, and a better publicized audit than we got.

next week's wildy flash mobs will again reveal that no one is taking james runeshark's place. I remember doing kk in mob with hundreds of players who joined him, and it was stupid fun all day.

the current crop of paid gamers... so many of them I do really like... they're also wrong about what the silent majority of players and/or new players want.

FSW is clearly a forced beta test for players and meant for us to float up what changes would be best for retention of new players... and...

the #1 most important change that NEEDS to happen yesterday, and not one paid gamer will agree... is that the defaults for combat need to be simplified thus:

all bind swap: no style
all hot key: none
auto-populate bars: off

repeat: defaults. for new players. the furor and the schism that drove people to bigotscape... its caused by exactly that. they felt baffled by dynamic ability bars. those should have been static, manual, WYSWYG, by default, when you start... since ALWAYS

I dont know why combat academy left lumbridge, and if the intention was to move it to a courtyard of the warrior guild... um... where'd it go?

Of course picking that stuff up later is worth the time, but why not weave that into a quest? Give it a story?

This is really the most important thing affecting your ability to retain new players. They feel bad at pvm... and that chorus... ugh...

idk if HLF knows this, but... " I'm not very good at pvm " is a dogwhistle for high level macro users and overlay enthusiasts.

so we need to rarify that sentiment. Instead... paid gamers make racket with mobs at reddit and have changes made to ed4 so fast our heads still spinning to gatekeep newer players from... a willingness to play.

2 different kinds of paid art players

1. the etsy types: usually those are great, like the girl making the light up fsoa, lengs; or the lady who made the nature sentinel outfit.

oh. please. ask them what they like about playing runescape.

they do way more work than they could ever be paid for, and that makes their feedback usually more pure.

2. the tracing artist ones who USED TO WORK IN ADVERTISING are not as valuable for feedback. there are a LOT of those, and their hack scratch pin up meme art should not also become a shortcut to surveying the shared aesthetic desires of majority of players.

I think this type goes so wrong so fast because theyre so mercenary, and they do have opinions that can be bought.

I am asking for a change in filters. Where to collect the MORE valuable feedback, and its corollary to the rs official news post about community recently...

there are discord servers for these groups, right?

visit them and look up and down at the players online.
are they "now playing runescape" or "now playing runelite?"
ta da!
there you go.

pay more attention to servers where the members are PLAYING RUNESCAPE, and not some overlay crap. Its IMMEDIATELY obvious which server has the better players.

I'm not wrong. The future of the game depends on RECRUITING new players, not bleeding the older players like us. I do not know where this game is advertised, or how to bring more than a few real life friends to it, but invariably... they choke on the default settings.

Paid gamers doing blindfolded, no food, soloduo, or whatever feats of daring do... thats not really helping! Thats material viewed by phone players on crystal harps... SO THAT THEY DONT HAVE TO.

ed4 p7 is macro ready bullshit, and its been defended so quickly it stinks of interested parties mobbing to make it happen. I continue to want to believe the slots of the infernal puzzle box will make it better, but... we now have hint that they might not be. All it does is provide vanity items (dye blg) to those yoked, and held hostage at AOD, so its not me (ecb forever), and I barely care... but I got half the log and kinda wanted the rest. Im not specifically complaining about this, but moreso...

why, why, why did that get changed first, and its NOT going to cause a schism? no one was going to quit if bad luck mitigation at 99% enrage left in place.

players might quit if auto populate procs and chain winds up inside their ability bar revolution, and provokes a mob of low level slayer creatures to attack all at once. thats the REAL problem, and it should have been fixed sooo long ago its absurd Im still asking for it.

change the default combat settings for new players. soon. its important.

you new? they never write back to us here, but they do read this.

I'm writing to them, and inviting snipers like you to prompt me, and sometimes correct me, so they get to kinda spy on how we talk about stuff.

riko and chee correct me regularly.

reddit looks busier, but like I said... its corrupted with equal parts paid gamer, and game enthusiast really bad at math who wants to get a 2 year meat grinder CM job in gaming. they shill like mad at reddit. there is more authentic feedback content about rs at rsof than will ever be at reddit.
