It makes no sense to poll an obviously imbalanced game mechanic, instead of simply repairing the bugged mechanism to bring it back in balance.

It makes no sense wanting to ruin a better way to train.

So long as it's balanced, fine...high exp rate = costs gp....low exp rate = makes gp. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

AFKing was NEVER a bug. Where are you getting this from?

No, but going around the 5 minute and 6 hours logout mechanism is.

Thank you forum for the miniscule bump to my post count :| 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

An bugged game mechanic imbalance needn't be polled.

Ofc it is a bug. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

All polls are at 75%. If that were to change we'd require a poll.
In the end you have to trust in the community to make the decision on this one.


...which is like trusting your 5 year old not to eat all the halloween candy at once.

A bugged game mechanic imbalance needn't be polled.

If that is what the community want to do, that is what will happen. We feel the community are able to make these decisions for themselves.

Your logic is flawed. That "balance" is your opinion.

That balance is a fundamental basis of Oldschool RS.
You want fast exp? Fine, pay for it.
Want to make $ at your skill? Fine, you won't get as fast exp then.

Want to make money at your skill fast?
NMZ to the rescue!
Completely imbalanced with the rest of the game.

And the fact is, it should never have been implemented if this was intentional....given this imbalanced condition, I know I and a lot of others, would not have voted for it.

So to poll balancing it...when it wasn't intended as it exists, is ridiculous. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

I agree with you Mat, but the 5 minute logout should be fixed alongside the 6 hours one. Why poll one of them? Its clearly a bug!
