One of the biggest problems with RS3 that has caused me to quit after nearly 10 years of playing is how Jagex decided to make earning xp/gp as easy as possible for players. In general, this is a BAD thing. A game that just seems to throw everything at you gets old very fast and takes the sense of accomplishment out of everything.

This is why I highly oppose items like the bonecrusher. If you want to make prayer easier to train without spending absurd amounts of money, this is not the way to do it. Maybe give the xp gained from burying bones a slight increase, but do make the players manually bury them.

The same general idea goes for the idea of making clue scrolls purchasable. Players should have to get clue scrolls as drops, not reliably through a store. I'd also guess that this would increase the quantity of clue rewards entering the economy. This will probably create a lot of extra inflation. Please Jagex, don't make the same mistakes you made with RS3 over again.

Regarding the purchasing of bandages, that would be fine as long as they don't heal enough to compete with food that players produce from fishing, etc. Another huge problem with RS3, in my opinion, is that many skills are useless due to the plethora of alternate methods for obtaining the same items or of alternate items to those produced by skills. For instance, Aviansies have a common drop of 4 noted adamant bars. This means there is a huge supply of adamant bars entering the economy that do not come from mining/smithing. This kind of thing makes skilling obsolete in favor of combat. That is not a good direction for the game. Unfortunately, it is the direction RS3 took. So, back to the bandages, as long as a player would not want to choose to buy bandages over, say, a swordfish gathered by another player, this would be fine.

I'm all in favor of all the cosmetic updates though.

BARBARIAN ASSAULT FEEDBACK


Barbarian Assault legs stats: Rune + 2 strength bonuses.

I believe the price to buy penance items should be halved, but make them destroyed on death.

The biggest flaw with Barbarian Assault is people NOT leveling up their roles, because they want to run in quick to get their torso and leave. The most hated role is Defender because people don't level it which makes luring penance runners difficult because of the luring range.

My proposal is to introduce an additional system in which you still gain "experience" towards leveling up roles which will make it "easier" to do certain roles without annoying the rest of the team.

Many people are also confused between the EAR and the MOUTH graphics, so they many times choose the wrong option resulting in a wrong call which frustrates the team. Perhaps change the system to be less confusing and maybe even move them apart a bit so it's less confusing.


TROUBLE BREWING FEEDBACK


People don't play this minigame because the rewards are nearly useless and cosmetic on top of that high requirements in terms of tedious quests and skills.

I believe there should be a cooking outfit which lowers burn rates that stacks with cooking gauntlets, a small box that contains 25-50 grapes, pre-made raw various pies, etc.

Some of those rewards would attract the attention of many people, it is a cooking minigame after all.



PEST CONTROL FEEDBACK


With three boats and a small community, we are segregated heavily which makes it harder to fill each boat at a maximum capacity at all times. Bring back 1 boat, change the experience rates back to normal inside the minigame but keep the experience from the points the same. Mix a variety of pest monsters from all three boats making it easier for low levels to hit on them.

Remove the cap for points, let us collect unlimited or a larger x-amount.

i really don't understand how barbarian assault legs is even a possibility

do that, and it will be possible for people to run around in fighter helm/torso/legs/ags/fire cape/etc. while only risking a strength amulet

and ofc the fact that there's nowhere decent to pk outside single won't help

The ONLY reason that I don't play minigames is 1: There are no hiscores for them :( On RS3 I used to play so much Barb Assault to compete in Hiscores. It was my passion to compete with players in Hiscores. I really would love to see that happen in old school then I would definitly without a doubt play minigames. Please Jagex :)
