RNG is the only model that Runescape is using now.

I play several other mmorpg's and mmo's where the gameplay is based upon how you play and how you interact in the game and even what you buy, get, acquire etc during the gameplay. The rewards are given for winning, not in some rng algorithm, wearing a dumb assed ring or a necklace lmao.

This game has for years now become a case of playing the RNG card only!

Argue a toss all you like, but that is where this game has been driven for many years now because it has become the excuse Jagex use for making money in micro transactions. No real ideas or new directions for so long, with only a financially driven gameplay mode existing now.

My current subscription has been discontinued, leaving me time to complete my game using my daily tasks etc only from now on.

Plenty of mmo's out there where skill and knowledge and gameplay are the norm, and chance and luck do not even come into the equation.

That's where i'm going ... and that's a safe bet!

pretty much one of the main reasons why i have stopped subscription now too.

Jagex! Understand that not being directly answerable and putting muppets instead onto your forums to do your bidding for you has resulted in me discontinuing my membership elite (w52) and annual forever.

YOUR LOSS!

Card cancelled and from now on I count down the last days of my membership remaining.

Your forum trolls and your direct inaction make you around 100 quid a year worse off.

MINIMUM

Enjoy the hard times :)

I think arguing that there's no issue because RNG is just part of MMOs is flawed. Not everything in an MMO is or should be determined randomly, as some degree of consistent values and results are necessary even when RNG is present. You have to balance that or else stuff like levels or equipment wouldn't matter because stats are useless.


Likewise, players are going to feel their time is being wasted and lose interest in playing if they have no idea if it'll take them 1 hour of 40 to get what they're after in every aspect of the game. That's why they had some form of bad luck mitigation on the gold party hat shards so players would average around 3 - 4 hours per shard even if they had a chance to get it sooner. Likewise, the RNG involved in getting fragments for elite outfit pieces only reduce a known quantity of time needed to get all of them rather than leaving it to chance how many you get at all. Using RNG that way is less frustrating because players have a firm upper limit to the time and effort they need to dedicate to their goal rather than perpetual uncertainty. How to block a forum user
