We need free death events more frequently.

with how cheap death costs are now thats pretty much all the time.
Cheap? Look at the streamers who have to pay 5m+ for dying with all the switches necessary to speed kill the bosses they do. We weren't given enough of a death cost reduction. We need a second death rework to cut the current death costs by 75%, then death would actually be cheap. I wince when I have to pay the cost of my deaths and I don't even use switches I just camp 1 weapon and 1 gear.

you are talking about people with 20b+ gear. 5m death cost. thats a huge reduction

thats really effecting the people that want to start to pvming. cause they have all that gear already.

full crypto + fsoa. already bis for most places is less than 1m death cost.


yes its cheap

Runescape's combat is too glitchy for boss fighting to be appealing to me

whats glitchy for you? there are many players i guess able to come the "glitchy" side of it and do incredibly well

Tons of delay for abilities, prayer engagement, eating, etc.
Not to mention glitchy or outright missing animations for things.
Obviously players can individually anticipate these glitches and overcome them, but I'm personally not interested in trying to master a broken system.

Bossing requires prolonged periods of intense concentration. That's not what I think of as recreation, so it isn't something I want to do in game.

All of them really? I can usually not even get the ability system to function. The abilities simply don't fire when I click them. No messages in the chatbox either about what I'm doing wrong. Same with several spells like Vulnerability. Also farcasting bugs, like if you Ice Barrage melee targets and they can still melee you from like 7 tiles away or just start moving around everywhere while the bound icon is still displayed on their bar. It's glitchy as fuck. Bob

The last thing we need is another death cost reduction after the mess the first one left us with. It only made the economy worse and the way they went about adding the tax to compensate for it was BS. Deaths are supposed to come with risks. Bossing is supposed to be a risk. Not having to pay for lost gear just because it's inconvenient would break the economy and so would everyone getting their income from bossing.

No single area of gameplay should be the sole optimal moneymaking method or the thing every player should be doing. If a lot of players don't feel like bossing, that's ok and normal. There's no need to break the game trying to get them to boss. Some people just don't like that type of gameplay for various reasons that don't necessarily need to be "fixed". Instead, there should be a variety of playstyles available for different players to favour and the whole thing should balance out. We need community engagement like updated minigames and updates to other major areas of content such as outdated skills. How to block a forum user

there is a cooldown for when you can use them. so this isnt glitchy, its understanding when you can and cannot use them

I'm pretty sure it's not cooldown when I can't even use the first ability to initiate a cooldown in the first place... Cooldown explanation also makes absolutely no sense for the farcasting glitches. Bob

I speak for me and me alone. The RNG system does not make it fun.

I buy gear and supplies for boss.

I do boss X amount of times.

I get no worthwhile drops if im lucky i get enough gold to pay for my food/pots.

I go again and again and again and again and maybe get something worth 10m if im lucky.

woo i just wasted 30+ hours of my life.

Thats why i dont boss its a waste of my damn time. sometimes its fun im small doses but no i have a life.
