Jagex has a failing approach to this game and how to make it become mainstream, you need some super OP items at the end game to keep people enticed, a goal to work towards, because as it stands now, there is no possible way you can tell me that watching Youtubers for countless 12 hour streams grinding and never getting anything is fun, it isn't fun, it's extremely boring watching that and even more boring if you're the one actually grinding it.
If you had some weapons like FSoA and BOLG that were super versions of themselves effectively making end game mode easy mode, or some armor like Cryptbloom and Animate Undead but on steroids, this would give everyone a goal to work towards, it would honestly be fantastic, it would certainly keep me buying membership.
But currently how it stands, the money required for membership, the long hours spent playing with virtually no drops, I've been playing years with virtually no good drops, I get the odd one but that isn't good enough in my opinion considering the vast amount of upgrades which are increasing in price every single day, I could literally play this game until I'm 60 and still not be done, that's another 30 years of grinding, it's crazy, as well as new upgrades added into the game, whilst also juggling with bank spaces as new items are constantly added into the game without the proper bank space to store them trying to push people into spending bonds on bank boosters, the fact that when new items/abilities do come out, they get nerfed, with all this in mind, I have made the decision to quit.
I do believe this was a good game, there is a lot of content to offer, but due to the grind which renders 99% of content extremely boring as well as the other things listed above, weighing my options, I do believe there is a better way to spend my time and my money so it is with a sad heart that I must say goodbye to Runescape once and for all, the childhood game I grew up with is now dead to me, good luck everyone, take care!!
