It seems Jagex does everything in it's power to make it's player base hate them, from extraordinary grind to bots and taxes and everything else in between like nerfing the Oddments you receive for double prizes and removing the 50% off oddment items, most of this was done out of corporate greed to further add salt to the wound.
So having massive grind for simple items or even complex items that aren't tradable leaves people grinding for weeks and months, like the Sceptre of the Gods which recently got a bad luck mitigation change for the better is a great example of Jagex actually doing something that benefits the players, unlike the Hero pass drama.
I recently brought up the fact that the automatic potion sipper (Potion Reservoir) is another item that is locked behind way too much grind, someone replied saying that its' really over powered and I disagree, it allows end game users only to use what is the most simplistic item in the game in my opinion other than maybe logs or a fish, all it does is allow you to not have to constantly click every 6 minutes for potions and instead allow you to click once every 9 minutes so you don't log out.
There is nothing OP about that, as a matter of fact I think it's stupid to increase the logout timer if I'm still going to have to click every 5-6 minutes to renew my potion, it defeats the entire purpose of having an increased logout timer, it's things like this that makes players question why we even play this game, 99% of games out there just let you afk 100% of the time, I actually enjoy this game and wish simplistic items like the Potion Reservoir wasn't locked behind mass grind, 80 levels in Crafting, Divination and Smithing IS ENOUGH for such a simplistic item, having another 112 levels of grind on top of that is very discouraging to players who don't wish to have such a click intensive experience especially when playing on multiple accounts, again it defeats the 10 minute logout timer completely and should be adjusted.
