IMHO,
Remove TH. Keeping it makes RS3 just another P2W game that people play and spend thousands to get to max levels. When a new player can join up, pay a ton of money for keys to get lamps, high value items and stars etc, it can honestly take a few months to get your first 99 skill.
I've given up on RS3 cause all the new bonus XP and whatnot has taken the fun of the grind away. The whole fun of Runescape came from spending hours skilling and killing, so that you could compete and show off to your friends. If you were one of those players with a skill cape, you were the envy of many players. Now the game is pretty much handing players skill capes like they were dropped from a highway man. Get rid of TH, add new content, and bring it back to actually working for max skills.
RS3 has actually seen a decrease in players just because of TH itself and it's OPness in skilling and money making. A lot have quit RS altogether, and a lot have all moved down to OSRS, even more with OSRS being F2P and Member accessible. Plus with mobile OSRS a few weeks out, even more people might leave the main game to play here.
Just looking at the main page of RS3 and OSRS, the players online are around the same amount, give or take a few thousand players. This is all just my opinion, no one has to take it to heart. Me being nostalgic, 07' was imo the best time for Runescape. Back when it was skilling, playing with friends, PVPing and minigames with thousands of players for the simple fun that stole hours upon hours of our lives.
With TH, there's too much gold being put into the game, which kills player based markets like the ge with inflated prices. 2.1b for Phat? ridiculous lol. And too much bonus xp to boot. When skilling, bonus XP becomes pretty much XP doubling. I have enough bonus in some skills to get from 1-99 in half the time it would normally take. Mining itself I have enough to half the needed xp from 83 to 200m xp.
TH will imo, be the eventual death of RS3.
