i have 144M TOTAL xp and only 2 99s, neither of which is much beyond 99 itself, and all but one of my other skills are 80+, so in theory i should love this idea and i just don't:
> i have no desire at all to go chasing zezima or suomi
> while the thought of seeing 200M xp players out there mixing with us plebs is a nice one i shudder at the thought of crowds of idiots shouting "give me a billion coz i gotz hacked" and similar - and you know it would happen
> anyone with over 99 in any skill pretty much has to be at least wealthy, making it far easier for them to do it again, so poor noobs are going to be struggling even more than now AND
> that means that they are more likely to buy bonds or spins, which is good for jagex. but while it may take certain resources out of the game it adds gp, and does so by increasing the supply of bonds and decreasing their price. which is really, really bad for jagex because as the price of bonds fall they'll be losing that most precious of commodities, *subscribing* members
> while this is a "quick win" and doesn't affect existing plans, that doesn't mean that fixes like this should be used as an excuse not to make *extra* effort to improve existing content. jagex made a lot of money last year and yet they've been firing people
> it may be optional to jagex but having a 99+1prestige or whatever won't be so optional in peer groups, and that much grind Just Isn't Healthy
before anyone says i don't understand, have you read more than 200 of the 400ish pages on this subject?? i have, and skimmed the rest too. things change. games change. most games end.
