The last time Jagex added loadstones, a lot of the game became redundant. Whereas before we got teleports as rewards for playing the game, loadstones made those rewards worthless.
It's not a good thing to make rewards worthless.
These new ones will make more of them worthless.
For example, what good are the house teleports now that they've all been superseded by loadstones? They're no good. Player owned houses are worthless now.
We used to use teletabs made at player owned houses. They're worthless now.
We used to use magic to go teleport. With loadstones, those spells are redundant. The value of leveling up magic is lessened.
Crafting games necklaces and dueling rings. Same thing. The value of the crafting and magic skills are lessened.
Some fairy rings are redundant. The value of completing the quests is lessened.
The slayer ring for teleporting is worth less now. The value of the slayer skill is lessened.
This constant nerfing of the game destroys the value of the game. Skills, quests, and the player owned house lose their worth.
And that lost value diminishes value of the game to its players. The work we put in to build our skills, do quests, and build our PoHs is diminished, and the value of those things to players yet to do them will be less.
Rewards should not come for free. They should come from playing the game.
