I never post on this forum, but I do feel compelled to join my fellow runescapers' voices here. I love this game, but this hero pass update feels like a slap on the face. Not only does it feel like predatory MTX, but it also removed something that I thoroughly enjoyed about this game. I try not to play too much so I loved to just do dailies and reaper task in the morning.

Now we get this system that is confusing, predatory, unnecessary, poorly designed, unwanted and quite frankly insulting.

Like many others, I am thinking of finally moving on from Runescape as a whole after this. Please, do not kill this game, I like it.

Well, i guess us doing the 3 challenges a day was 3 free keys and by god they wont let us have that. i mean 3x 30 days is 90 keys a month!!!

Remember, Jagex gets cheaper and cheaper just like everything else in this world. Chips have less flavoring, price of meats and veggies go up by the pound. And Jagex already raised the monthly sub fee. SO, they must find a way. I personally wont buy keys. i was getting the daily ones and challenges and sometimes i would buy the 10 a day for oddments.

But real life money ... i dont do keys!! i do sometimes buy runecoins but havent did that in a while. i just buy bonds off ge and buy runecoins that way.
The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

Hero Pass certainly is not a great update, I won't be unsubbing, but I am no longer interacting with the Hero Pass interface. I'm not sure if that even matters though, because Jagex is going whaling with this update. Not sure how we as players can discourage whales to whale

maybe they can make another version of Runescape like Oldschool.

Runescape 2023 with Necromancy, without Hero pass.

and then FOMO/MTX aw much as you like in Runescape 4.

The interface says it ends at level 120, but to unlock all cosmetics in the hero store it's more like level 160. Unlike the last yak track, I might not be able to fully unlock everything. They really need to give a proper response today addressing the insane grind. The average player won't be able to complete the first hero pass.

I dont get why none off the complaints include the fact this is gonna happen over and over...

Four times per year is the planning....

I cant wrap my head arround the fact I wont be playing Runescape as it was,
but ill pay to work in the Jagex sweat shop.

Ive bought ZERO keys after they changed the oddments system, (no more 75% off med stars)

What i liked about RS is that you can set your own goals, and take multipe ways to get there,
I dont want a game telling me what to do for ever and ever and ever....

So its gonan take weeks to fix the return of dailys, this is a choice, Jagex takes weeks so the community will cool down...

If they wanted to fix it, they could just do it, There must be a back up from before Hero pass, just merge that with the player statics, you allready did something like that after the major login-lockout,, or after the Freshstart worlds-problem.

If there was only 1 Hero pass per year, i wouldnt be posting all this crap. ( i dont mean a pass that runs the whole year, just 3 months, i could force myself to do that, and have 9 months of Peace and Quiet)

Greetings,

Lemon

ps bringing back dailys wont remove the FOMO of the ''+4 hoer points'' every minute,
dont backstand or do quests, or do anything that doesnt give exp(opening geodes from mining), or your missing out.
