Hi

Yes, we are still reading! We are just catching up with the posts made overnight and will be answering more of your questions.

Skill levels and the effect on combat

We do hear your points regarding skill levels and combat. We are working on a few ideas right now to address those points. More to follow on that in the next Og Blog.

f2p Dungeoneering.

We are looking into the issues with fractite and the increase to monster effectiveness. Thanks for your posts regarding this, we have clearly not given f2p dungeoneers the right gear to deal with the bigger NPC's there.

MMG: " so many players seem outright rude or mean to each other and especially hostile to new comers to the community :( It would be awesome if we could simply find a way or encourage people to be nice to each other again! "
------------
Not long ago I was thinking wether the GE is one of the reasons the community changed. Ppl no longer rely on eachother, they can just buy stuff anonymously from the GE. Medium-High level players are less likely to add the low levels to their friendslist from which they periodically bought their resources back in the days.. and the higher of the 2 would help the lower to learn the game.

Right now the community is pretty divived and harsher to eachother. Doesn't really matter now if one is rude or helpfull to the other because they can still buy/sell their items with an impassive interface. Perhaps disabling (search option for) bulk resource items on the GE, will re establish that positive interaction between communities?
As a bonus it'll give the community a way of combating the gold farmers. Thranduil | King of the Elves of the Wood

@Mod Mark;

If you look at Page 42 of the most recent Og Blog, you'll see my suggestion of how to implement a balance between Skill levels and Gear types, good luck on it.

and thanks for fixing F2P DG, I'll be happy when I go on my other account when that gets fixed... This character has been poor since his creation in June 2005.

I want to thank MMG and Mod Mark for doing this. I know i haven't supported many of your decisions but this is something good and I trust Jagex a little more because of it. Please keep it up and do more of these in the future, they really help to boost the communities morale.

Your topic seems encouraging but I think as other disillusioned players have put it; actions will speak louder than words.

Having been an unbroken paying member from 2008-2012, I watched my 7 year old PvP clan die due to EoC, micro transations take a way to greater role in gameplay, botting and gold farming going unchecked, and gambling and RWTing facilicating a market for the gold farming bots - which could be easily stamped out by Jagex with a few swift updates (and no, gambling "it's part of the game", it is the root of a number of your problems and players frustrations).

Even gamblers and hosts will call Jagex hypocrits for your stance on micro-transactions, and use that as a basis to defend what they are doing to your game. Don't allow them.


Moving on, after I quit my main disappointment with the game was a complete lack of recognition of community feedback on updates and new content. No one is going to 100% like EVERY update you release, but ignoring and worse playing down players concerns is a slap in the face of paying vets of the game, and as new people join the community they also see this.

I really hope Jagex can come out with a monthly update just like this, and keep outlining where you are up to in regards to each major issue raised by the wider player base. I think if you were able to do this, and implement changes and show your engauging your playerbase, people will be much more responsive to these announcements.

I may even re-subscribe to members, like others would if you show more community engaugement. Your topic is a step in teh right direction, I hope 2013 has many of them.

I Love Eoc

i think this game need a lot more weapons, it's bad to see people weilding same weapon..should be like 30 + more so everyone can have unique setup )maybe few more abilitys in future)

also remove the bots...and REMOVE every aspect of gambling...flowers..and everything....any dice and this game gonna be more awesome, people wont gamble..they will work for money like before..pvp pvm..skilling......and ban gold farmers, they advertise in every world..... ''RsWalmart''? like 1000 lvl 4 accounts advert for that guy and no1 see that or? O_o

@ Mod Mark,

Will the forums and other often used community sections be getting a loooong overdue overhaul? Alot of us look forward to this as the forums are greatly loved and hugely used by many, some of us spend alot of time here and would really appreciate some basic upgrades, such as view count/likes etc.

Will Slayer be getting a re-boot, perhaps take some time, have some meetings, post up a specific data gathering thread and we can re shuffle which monsters drop which items, updating drop tables and allowing slayer to flourish as a skill again? All the main slayer drops are now at an all time complete low.

Effigies: In the recent eoc update, combat levels were changed and completely lowered in alot of cases, as such the effigy drop rate is much much lower than ever, will there be a rebalance on the drop chance of effigys? Currently theres a 1 in 6.3m defence exp chance of effigy drop from a lvl 166, and it took 14m slayer exp for me to recieve my first effigy drop after eoc. :/

Slayer rewards shop: This needs a revamp, we need more choice here, could add fragments that cost 1k pts and can be added to weapons/armours to add crit when slaying, could add chance to make certain tasks more likely for a week...I know you are all creative people and im sure with a little attention, the slayer shop could be as useful as it has been in recent years.

mod mark remove eoc or bring back Andrew Gower please he was the true owner but with his $680 Million dollar net worth he doesn't really need to come back by the looks of it or get some tips off him on how to run runescape and have over 100k players at a time.
