Line fire building and safe cracking are/were already in game, so pretty underwhelming really.
Also, didn't we already rebuild Lumbridge a few years back?
Another pet. Uh, yeah. Great.

*sigh*

Line firemaking is in-game, but it's a highly inefficient way to firemake currently.
This update adds a bit of possible profit for high level firemakers as well as giving players the option of fast xp and attentive gameplay versus lower xp and afk. They're adding tons of this in lately, and it's good that they're finally realizing that not all of us want to pair RuneScape with a Netflix marathon.

Safe Cracking is in-game too, but not to this degree. The current safes are only in the Thieves Guild for XP or under the Burthorpe Pub for meager GP and XP rates, plus a handful of gems.
This is a new method of thieving is slow-ish to gather but allows a good profit margin (seeing how they're comparing it to Elder Trees).



We're not rebuilding Lumbridge, we're rebuilding Edgeville. You know, the one on the other end of the River Lum? Where the Dragonkin roasted everybody and it's been trashed for years now?


Lastly, yes.
Another pet.
For some reason.

Don't care, boring, boring, don't care.

Pretty sure April is just going to be packed to the brim with MTX though. Gotta make that fast cash and disregard actual player enjoyment. Mods love to abuse their power!

'item that allows thieving from elf clans that are suspicious of you.'

This in line with the crystal mask spell and light form with the camo TH outfit completely breaks thieving... now it'll be even more broken. Hope there's some sort of limit on that =\

yea pets are a little unnecessary atleast until they revamp pets and do that pet arena thing they talked about i would also like the menagerie reworked to where it could house all pets and just run a randomization algorithm to decide which ones show up when you visit your house so that you can more easily show off all your pets

And let’s not forget that Tribute to Guthix and the Spring Fayre continue to run through the month. If you’ve visited the Fayre, you’ll know that it has been rebalanced and no longer requires any entry tokens to enjoy its quite wonderful activities. Anyone for a spot of Hook-a-duck?

No, I am not up for a "spot of Hook-a-duck," Osbourne. I don't think anyone really is, to be honest. The Spring Fayre has not been "rebalanced," it's been recycled and it's worse than ever. I really don't understand how you can consider having to skill for hours on end to receive anything as being a great "rebalance." It's a beyond disappointing event.

You guys keep claiming that you're "listening" to us, but then you turn around and deliver something like this -- the opposite of what we've been saying. We said we are interested in holiday events that are in the vein of miniquests and offer a small, fun reward. We did not ask for recycled, poorly designed Crater Events, and yet they keep coming.

You guys have really dropped the ball on the Easter event this year by recycling Spring Fayre and not even doing it well. You had one of your CM mods make the statement that tokens were rare to make it more "fair" for casual players so other players wouldn't be getting all rewards in one day. Except that doesn't make it more fair for anyone, especially those casual players because if the grinders can't get anything in 10 hours of grinding, how are those casual players supposed to get anything at all? They're not.

However, that would never have been an issue if you didn't make this a "token" event. Enough of these tokens. Where do you get off thinking that was even necessary? If you want to do an MTX promotion, then use TH and Solomon's Store, but how about you stop trying to turn Holiday Events into MTX promotions? Between the three of them, Beach, Spring Fayre, and Novtumber Fest, I think they all showcase the issues of these Crater Events.
Here, I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret!

The updates this month wouldn't seem so bad

...if it wasn't for the fact that there is no mention of Easter?


But I'm not going to complain yet because it may actually be one of the surprizes you've mentioned at the end. Lets hope.
