After days of asking Mo finally gives me a Hard clue lol.
The reward I get will determine whether I start asking for elites or not.
E: Bandos d hide top and rune stuff, not bad considering it was literally 3/4 steps.

I came here to throw in my 2 cents about OSRS. I'm not going back, not unless they threaten to close down new accounts for good, then I might make one just for the heck of it.
I had a lot of emotional trauma leveling up in OSRS. The community was absolutely terrible. While it still is today, it's definately not as bad as it was back then, or maybe even before OSRS, depending on how far back you want to go. People are scamming left and right for your stuff; like any other noob, I fell victim for it, mainly ones that involved luring. Although I didn't realize it at the time, botters were everywhere, desperate to either make a pretty penny or try to overcome the overwhelming task of gaining levels due to the xp curve. What personally got to me was that there are so many illegitimate accounts that hit 99 or has some sort of 'rare' feature/item/whatever that I stopped considering it an accomplishment. Why work super-hard for those things when you can just bot and do whatever else you want in the day? And people were gullible about it then as they are today. This is no exaggeration, mind you, I know stats were released in the past by Jagex in which a alarming number of accounts partook in illegal gold buying.
Anyways, the community in RS2 was very bad. It was so bad I would have quit for good if there wasn't content designed in mind for single-player content to take part in. The final push to become a member was in due part to a real-life friend I knew, and unfortunately, he...is no longer with us. Being a member was a good choice because it opened up a whole world of content for me to explore. It was a good diversion from the rotten excuse of a community there was and most importantly, it was fun, despite the frustration of some content. I sometimes wonder when RS2 really stopped and RS3 began.
In the end though, regardless of if you liked RS2 or not, in part or in whole, I think real vets play RSC. I should know, I do.
