Hi Everyone,

My Lady and all my friends really love doing the yak tasks, but now it's getting to be too much.

Four times a year was hard enough at doing 50 tasks, but now you have upped it to 70 tasks.

In my opinion, if you are going to up it to 70 tasks, then drop the 4 times a year to 2 times a year. 70 tasks for 4 times a year is just too much.

Plus, I have noticed that the rewards are getting less and less, one of the reasons we love doing them is for the pets and overides, its fun to get them.

Please don't spoil one of the fun things to do in RS. If you are going to keep it 70 tasks then please lower the 4 times a year to 2 times.

I hope that the powers that be, will rethink the Yak Tasks.

Have a great day/night,

Ebano Lobo

you dont have to do them.

personally i never do them, they just get completed for naturally playing how i play. and i will randomly collect the rewards when they are done

i do not like yak trak at all. thats why i do not do it.

however this type of content is amazing! for new players. it keeps them wanting to play, and it shows them new parts of the game they may not of seen of before. or would have known about otherwise.

not all content that is released is for us. it can also be for new players. and that is was yak trak is for.

so if for you its getting too much, then dont worry about it, you dont need to worry about it.

This: " you dont have to do them.

so if for you its getting too much, then dont worry about it, you dont need to worry about it. " misses the entire point of the OP.

Also, I'm glad that your gameplay lets you hit the Yak Trak goals, but not everyone can spend 8+ hours a day, 40h a week on the game, and with the recent changes to the game, that's what you need to do to "skill and kill" your way to the top of the Yak Trak instead of doing the arbitrary goals. I'd also argue (as a new-ish player) the goals are seriously difficult to attain without considerable gp outlay and consequently become daunting and unmanageable. They don't encourage me to "come back and want to play more". And before you say, "Then just don't play it", we know that is an option. Why suggest that? The statement shows a fundamental lack of understanding and empathy. Do you not have any part of the game that you *want* to do, yet wish was tweaked in a way that made it more enjoyable?

So I agree with the OP that a new re-evaluation should be done on the Yak Trak requirements. I doubt I'll hit the 70 levels in time without using up a significant amount of my skip tickets.

I dont mind them giving us 70 tasks. They added time to it for that reason.

But, i do agree 100 percent the rewards are getting less and less. The first task
always gave one of the outfits until last couple times.

Plus just less items.

I do enjoy them though The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

thats definitely not true, because i dont spend 40h a week on runescape i spend much less time.
but you have also missed the point of my post. because you are still under impression i want the rewards. i do not. thats the point im making, if yak trak is too much dont care for it. otherwise you will just be constantly chasing something, and you arent enjoying the game.

you dont have to do every piece of content in the game. including time gated events

I know I don't have to do them, but I like doing them and have completed each one since they started. All I am saying if the developers are going to make us do 70 tasks, then please lower the amount from 4 times a year to 3 times or twice a year.

One of my friends has said that he doesn't enjoy doing them anymore, that it's too much like hard work and he is right.

I've been playing for over 15 years and it's a game I am addicted to, and the Yak Tasks have been my one of my favourite parts of the game.

Developers can you please lower the amount of tasks we have to do, thats all I'm asking.
