After playing this game for legitimately 20+ years and reaching end game, I can confirm that this game is the absolute worst for grind. It's atrocious, not only the countless years it took me to get to max which was only fast tracked thanks to MTX, so that grind was already one of the worst I had ever experienced as a gamer. Now reaching the end game the grind is even worse, some items take literal years to get, and they hide under the "It's an MMO" argument, no, that is total and complete bollocks, yes there is a need for grind, but when you add up all the content and it turns out the grind is anywhere from 3-10 years worth of grind, that's where players need to draw the line, it's what overall makes this game boring.

Because the content isn't even that fun, and the content that is fun becomes increasingly boring after having grinded it for only a week, now imagine having to grind that content for years, if it gets boring after a week of 4 hour grinds, 8 hour grinds, 12 hour grinds, just imagine how boring it's going to be after a years worth of those grinds. It's quite honestly the dumbest thing any game development company could do, make the grind so horrible that it just makes people outright quit, most people don't even post anymore they just log off permanently and that's lost revenue for not only Jagex but Shareholders also.

This company needs to do better with customer relations because as of right now customers aren't happy, they haven't been happy for a very long time and it's because we've seen what the devs have been doing to the game, as we've watched countless devs do the same thing to various other games and ruin them completely, Runescape is no different other than the fact it actually had a community that cared deeply about the game it played, that had no effect on devs decisions to ruin this game and for me this game is in ruins, there are next to no players who aren't alts, meaning whales run the show, go figure it happened again, what a joke.

grinds for 20 years. complains about the grind....????? it took you this long to find out you dont like it?

I thought once I got to the end that it would be a little easier to make money and make the grind a little better but it only became much worse, I get having 1-5 items that take awhile to get, but there is no need to have 100+ items in that category.


Y'all can make as many excuses as you want, but the bottom line is, your strategy hasn't been keeping players around, it's been forcing them away, if that's your goal then you're doing great, but nobody is going to sit there for decades to complete your boring highly repetitive content, some of us did, most of us left, I'm one of the last to leave, I'm just letting future players know that if you're thinking that the grind is going to get better once you've maxed your stats and completed your quest cape, you're wrong, you can literally sit here for weeks months and years without ever getting a single good drop, and a single good drop in todays market just to clarify is anywhere from a 2b-5b GP drop, if you get a 250m drop it's just like a droplet in the water bucket considering how many miniscule upgrades there are that are way overpriced because once again, whales run show, you've failed your player base so you can make a quick buck off MTX, good job, now suffer the consequences of your actions.

it definitely got easier for me to make money, when i was originally doing 200m all, i never had max cash during that grind it all just went on xp. even though doing 200m all cost a fortune especially for when i did it.

since getting 200m all (2019) i went from under 1b cash stack and mediocre gear, to now bis in everything, and phats.

idk how you find things harder after the grind. the grind stops so one huge thing to not worry about.

All these players were loyal until you gouged them not only for money, but for their time as well, they won't come back even if you do any meaningful updates, just like Necromancy, it's meant to feel like a meaningful update but it doesn't, it feels like an empty void, it feels just like any other combat style, only more complicated and less effective than the current ones in place, it's actually so bad that they had to go and nerf Mage abilities/weapons just so it could "compete" all the people who helped keep this game alive went to OSRS and even those people are leaving and complaining en mass, this is solely because RS player relations is horrid and they give zero flips about what players actually want, they don't care if 30,000 subs cancel due to a nerf or due to grind, any sane developer would have fixed those issues to keep those memberships, but not these devs no sir, they said let them leave, and leave we did, RS3 is suffering dearly for that and you can tell with the quality of updates we get versus the quality of updates OSRS gets, because they have the larger player base, the only reason they're giving anything to RS3 is to milk the whales, have fun being the richest guys amongst a near zero populous.

This game literally feels like one of those old private servers I use to play back in the day lmao just without the increased drop rates, those private servers had too good of drop rates, but I'd rather have that then grinding for literal decades lmfao

Just getting items to drop is a grind in and of itself forget XP, XP itself was a horrible grind we all remember until MTX came along which made things better, but that's the point I'm trying to get at, grind is and has always been the downfall to this game, one person can only grind for so long before they decide it's a literal waste of time, games aren't meant to be fun, grinding for weeks, months and years isn't fun, might be fun for whales who have and endless supply of money to spend like yourself, but for real grinders, it's too much.
