bttw, if you want a developer's response, post on reddit.
jmods don't really look here

I don't really like using reddit or twitter to ask the mods, I mean I understand why they might like that more but I think they should be encouraged to use their own forums I mean have you seen how dead the forums have become? If Mods committed the same time to the forums that they did to twitter and reddit and ran the forums themselves instead of appointing trigger happy pmods the forums would be an invaluable resource for themselves and the players but that is probably a discussion meant to take elsewhere.

But you're right, the lack of factional influence is kinda taking the fun out of it.

Something tells me they'll come back saying " *blah* *blah* development time for multi paths" and that feedback on the factional system isn't too good, so we're toning it down some.

As to your post above this one too, I agree I mean we can't even inform our god factions of what is going on.

Factions brought life into questing and the game itself, I think its honestly a way they could revive PvP as well. It is almost relatable to other MMOs they all have player factions that bring a life essence to them Runescape never really had that for the longest time and we kind of saw it in the Battle of Lumbridge and while it made things kind of toxic at least it was really lively and people were into the game.

Now we kind of have this one major umbrella and it is those born from Mah and now we have lesser characters of Zarosian or Zamorakian faction that have more content and development then gods like Saradomin or Armadyl who are supposed to be their own factions.

It's a big let down for me too how the icyene are put way behind the priority list. They could shed so much lore on Sara just from their culture alone. I feel similarly for the aviansie but at least they get a bit more than the icyene currently.

It really is I'd love more Icyene lore, at least with Aviansie Mod Raven is really cool about answering a ton of questions and giving hints and commentary about Armadyl and the birdies.
Its a pity jagex doesn't bother to make other races interesting, so much potential lost tbh, they seem to only care about mah related creatures, the icyene would be entertained if explored correctly, the aviansie too, even ourgs had lot of potential, and they are wasting it.

It also doesn't helps they focus on some factions more than others, for example I was interested in the godless faction and see how they would develop on rs story yet they never get actual content, and when they appear in game they get undermined, tbh I don't think they have intentions on making godless content and the same could be said about armadylians........ in my case I rather see the godless removed as a faction instead of them just standing there wasting potential.

The way I see it is we are the World Guardian. The Mahjarrat are a part of this world now and Mah was a far greater threat. In fact it was critical to get rid of Mah. Even with all her faults Seren was worth saving, and at least now the other Mahjarrat should take into account, without our help they'd have been heading for extinction fast.

As for Saradomin, if he thinks genocide is the way to go, then I'd be very disappointed in him. I'd go as far as calling it a red line that must not be crossed. Or else. At the end of the DoC series I expect the scales to be balanced, we'd have helped them both. The Saradominist philosophy would also lean to toward helping. It is only the rivaly between Zimzam and Sara that creates such tension. So yes you can be Saradominist and help the Mahjarrat.

The Mahjarrat are one of the major pillars of RS lore. It is just their time to shine and for their story in the race against extinction to come to a close. There will be more stories to tell once that is out of the way. Who knows, maybe now we can get new Mahjarrbrats, and who is to say they'd stick with their birth faction?

As for the Godless, I think they will get involved in the god wars properly at some point. A thread of mine, The Gauntlet, in one idea on how that could happen, defence of a major artefact. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,

Boo hoo. I was forced to help Saradomin on over a hundred occassions in the fifth age. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

We're the World Guardian, not the biased "I pick and choose who I'll help-Guardian"

Wait till Endgame if you want to make your side count, not complain that you had to help a Race escape extinction because of petty religious tensions. The Mahjarrat are a great bunch if you actually talked to them.

We can't often pick who we help. This is a game. We have limited choices

People sometimes have to do things they don't want to do. NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

I got a feeling like our Saradominist friends aren't gonna have a very good endgame :^(

And I'll be streaming the quest live for exactly that reason. "Your god's dead next time he's in a world event. "

That is why when the Queen of Ashes comes Saradomin and his followers whom are downtrodden would be the first allies she has. The downtrodden of Gielinor right now whom are getting persecuted the most are Saradomin and his followers, players trying to kill him off.
