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,


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.

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, .

no mtx buying xp ruined this game. its why so many are on osrs not rs3. personally i have never paid for xp and never will

but if you are happy to buy xp. then why not buy bonds for the gp?

id disagree, the grind is what makes this game. this game is literally a grind fest, you have been grinding for 20 years.... and you havent realised thats what this game is?
the grind right now today is less than ever. surely looking back 20 years ago to now you see that right?

IMO they are doing a lot to make it better. New content has limited requirements. You can make GP from a lot of skills rather than lose it. Necromancy of course, but it's hard to know what that will be like.

I can't really figure out why they made the adjustments to animate dead though. Especially when they knew they were making a different combat system. They knew it for a long time.

If it was to slow down AFK users, THEY are the ones who will just move on to the next best thing. It really doesn't matter.

The whole magic skill is built on trickery, which is fitting for the name. They aren't slowing those players down either, so who was the target exactly?

Hopefully the answer isn't "everyone else."

They could have just sat on it, but they put in SO MUCH effort. A beta? Polls, who knows what else. In the end, it's just a math problem so they were correct with the original proposal. How could they not be? It's all numbers. What was the point of any of it?

Dude. It's RuneScape. The game has always been as grind. That was the reputation RS had.

In 2011ish I quit for World of Warcraft. When I started WoW I became rich almost instantly / controlled entire markets on my server and I was the first on my realm with several expensive mounts and I was usually the #1 or #2 player of my class on my server. When other players asked me how I did it my response was always "I used to play RuneScape". The response was always "Oh." Even the toughest grinds in other games pale in comparison with the average grinds on RS (at least at the time I quit). Grinding is sort of RS' identity lol.

I have since quit WoW and returned to RS3. Ironically I find Jagex has a better lore writing team and cares significantly more about their players and community than Blizzard. That's beside the point, though. If you don't like grinding I'd think you'd have figured out by now that RS isn't the game for you. Sadly RS3 has no new players...the majority of the people you see online on RS3 have played for about as long as you have and have to problem with the grinding. I only know a handful who haven't hit the 15 year mark yet and I'm not sure I have met anyone since my return who hasn't hit 10. We have people who are maxing out multiple accounts lol

Isn't it nice that a game you like has so much play time in it?

I have played MMOs where I was maxed after two weeks, and there was nothing left to do. Be grateful that RuneScape is a game you can play for 20 years.

Personally I think there is area for improvement with certain skills, so I can sympathize with you. Jagex has been doing a good job in recent years (on OSRS at least) with releasing content that I consider a refresh.

I still think they need to significantly revamp content for some skills to make them more fun and interactive, but I think it'll come gradually.
