Sadly I don't think forcing people to bring their own runes into the nightmare zone will pass, due to the fact that many people will not want to spend money on magic xp. I hate the fact that the skill I trained most, and within the top 500 ranks is runecrafting, and what I can make from it is limited by people getting free magic xp, which should have never been in the game, due to the nature of magic in this game.

"Question: Should the combat XP you get in Nightmare Zone scale up so you get 100% of the XP if you have unlocked all of the bosses available for that dream?"


First off, this would dramatically reduce the use of this minigame, as after imbuing your items you would have no reason to go there. If using prayer potions you don't earn much money compared to other mini-games.

Second: This would be unfair to the high amount of pures (yes I admit, I too am a pure), which will be totally unable to gain 100% xp from the mini-game. Both because you gain defence xp from some of the required quests, and because many of the quest bosses use different combat styles and will kill you even if you have protection prayers.

Last i'd like to address the fact that all other functioning lvling areas is swarming with bots. Please get rid of bots if you want to make this update reality. The xp rate in NMZ is not especially high, it's just that every area that used to give equal xp rates is packed with bots.. Slayer helmet training can still out-xp nmz.

Overall a good poll, and most of these questions needs to be polled, but the last question really upset me. Because osrs as it is at this very moment is even better than it ever was, and the more super great updates you bring us the more i can enjoy my favourite game.

Check out this totally rad IMGUR link of me getting scammed a sara hilt from my gdw team. /HDWn cMU (*no space)

Can we at least get a simple 100% random lootshare system for the time being? Currently, no one is willing to tank bosses knowing they will not get any drops and the amount of trust between players is nonexistent at best.

It would be awesome if you guys could not only make the wheel rotate the view, but if you could also make the wheel scroll/zoom in and out. Instead of always playing from such a far view of your character, players could zoom in for a more "In game" feeling :D

(Also just some little side ideas) adding a day time/night time and weather to the game would be cool, but make it optional of course.

Good stuff. I'd like to address the NMZ question though. Realistically there's no way 75% of players would vote to Nerf something like that. I think the question should be restated to something like: "Should we keep allowing players in NMZ to get high mage xp per hour using the free runes provided". I feel this would be a more fair poll question on the issue as you don't have to get 75% to vote to nerf, but 75% to vote to keep the current feature that should have never existed and was never voted on in the first place.

"Question: Should we introduce an activity timer which will log you out of the game whether or not you are in combat if you have not interacted with the client for 5 minutes?"

This would cause trouble for bots. If I remember correctly, spinning the arrows keys doesn't count as interacting with the client. The bots would need to click in the screen often to stop being forced to log out. This is a good idea to stop AFKing.

i think that would be awesome i cant wait.

Yeah, but every bot, bot owner and AFKer would vote no to it. This should have been a fix without a poll. I don't see why its even being polled as they have no reason to actually poll it I noticed..

Can Infernal Mages and Bloodveld and Brine Rats drop
MEDIUM
clues? With dark beasts dropping hard clues. I think theres not enough monsters worth killing for medium clues. Currently everything is simply just a waste of time to attempt to get medium clues from. Would think it'd be nicer to have more better options for medium clues.

Edit:

In relation to farming.. WHY NO RIGHT CLICK PAY FARMER OPTION AND WHY NO INCREASED FRUIT STOCK IN CERTAIN STORES TO MAKE BUYING PAYMENTS EASIER.

Would you mind being more specific about exactly what behaviour needs to change, please? RS3's had its PID system changed too in recent months, and I'm not entirely sure what's going on there.

I'm assuming he's talking about "Pid switches" in PvP. It can be frustrating how your hits appear at inconsistent times due to Pid changing constantly. For example, if you are attacking your opponent at the same rate on the same ticks, your hits will never appear at the same time as your opponent's.

Runescape 3 fixed this problem (or at least pre-eoc.) Your melee hits always appeared 1 tick after XP calculations, with the exception of a few weapons such as the anchor. This takes out some randomness from PvP and allows calculated risks rather than relying on 50/50 chance to get kills.

There is also another problem with PvP, the food glitch, which is related to the Pid system delaying hits if you do not have high Pid. Since damage is capped at your opponent's current HP for single hit weapons, this delay gives the defending player a chance to eat food and have a 100% chance of surviving the attack.

Video showing these two points- https://***.youtube.***/watch?v=5bGiHewWA6g

I also submitted a bug report about the food glitch and explained it in more detail.

wtf, ofcourse you should get own runes! runecrafters are spoiled enought with their nature runes making over 1m per hour, dont make it more please. give magic a chance to be a cost efficient skill for once :/ ..... one that double natures is at level 91 - rcing is prob the slowest skills to level up - i been training runecrafting since march and still only 88 rcing ... your playing a minigame - all minigames require you to bring your own items , nmz where you get the best exp in game should def not be an exception , plus you have the opportunity to go out and craft your own runes - magic has always been cost effective if your not to lazy to go craft ~crafting bloods always~
