Most of these updates are good and I look forward to them, though I think many of them are so petty that it's a waste of time to even poll them in place of more pressing updates. I also have a couple of concerns.

The proposed DKS updates seem good, although I am concerned about the impact it will have on the already pitiful prices of most of the drops - most notably the dragon axe which really does need some sort of item sink sooner or later. I also hope some sort of lore is going to be put behind the Dag king clones appearance, as it would be completely illogical otherwise.

This "buff" to the ring of the gods is utterly ridiculous. A negligible buff at best, the ring was never the real problem in the first place. Yes, it's underpowered for the difficulty of obtaining (and still will be if this passes), but
the REAL problem is the difficulty of Vetion itself.


Months ago now, it was pointed out by Jmods that Vetion is killed far less than the other two and required a nerf, but this was forgotten about. Vene and Callisto are far easier and more efficient to kill and have more or less the same value drops as Vetion, so his level of difficulty makes no sense. Whether it be removing the second phase, removing the dogs or something else entirely, Vetion needs to be changed so it is at the same difficulty of the other 2 wilderness bosses. The majority of people that seek to kill it are forced to flinch it or use unintended safespotting methods to kill the dogs safely. So, instead of trying to add conservative buffs (that people still scream OP at??) to its ring drop to compensate for it being so overpowered,
just nerf Vetion so more people will actually consider killing it.


As highlighted by many already on this thread, we seriously need to
move away
from adding imbues to nmz. And on that note Jagex, step up and fix overnight Guthans, as it is
eroding the game we all love.

500k for a perm Dag spot? That sort of ruins the whole point of competition! If it is a 500k-per-trip fee then sure. I would hate to see worlds feel empty because everyone is buying their own boss room.

I don't like the direction of some of these questions :( Everything is becoming so ridiculously easy, like you don't even talk to NPCs anymore you just right-click them or use a hotkey....

I get it, people play this game as a meta-game and for the levels/XP, but can't you keep some kind of fantasy world integrity and not just make like office application style, right-click menu gameplay... If RS was a job that you only played because you had to, then I could understand some of these petty things.

There's one vampire that occasionally gets near the farming patch in a land that is supposed to be scary and full of vampires... Come on and sorry for rant :(

Wouldn't be instanced, would simply double the space available rather than your own private boss room. So there would potentially still be a fair amount of competition, though I agree that the competition element should really be kept for the sake of item prices.
