Interesting newspost.

Personally, the ddos attacks don't bother me a great deal. I'm aware that they are frustrating for many people, but they are ultimately a transient phenomenon. They won't last forever, and soon enough, things will return to normal in regards to network stability. In the meantime, I believe it is prudent to avoid engaging in particularly dangerous activities.

NMZ is complex. While I have no problem with the minigame itself, I take issue with the fact that players can AFK it for 6 hours at a time. This kind of mechanic has never been safe in the past (due to random events + it was against the rules) and by allowing it in OSRS, we greatly accelerate the path to max combat/200M melees for players. Long-term, I believe that this will be detrimental to the game and should be addressed sooner rather than later.

Mod Weath does an excellent job with the bots, but I'm glad that the OSRS team is considering hiring an additional staff member to deal with them. I have seen some bots with thousands of hours of game time and believe that it is in our best interests for them to be eradicated as thoroughly as possible. This is to reduce their impact on the game economy and game integrity as a whole.

But Wyverns are harder to kill than other slayer monsters. Look at Abyssal demons and Wyverns. I'd say Wyverns are harder to kill, they got tougher defense and can hit through armour. The reason why they buffed drop table and why it is balanced now is because people now kill them as before nobody killed them because they were to hard for zero good drops. Zulrah I can't say never killed it but I am going to believe their word. My Clan

They may have more health and do more damage than most Slayer monsters, but they also have a relatively low Slayer requirement. The wyvern drop table wouldn't have been overpowered in my opinion if they had required 85+ Slayer to kill.

I think its great to look into all of the things suggested, in my opinion zulrah is good, although the fact that people with just high mage and range can kill it makes it too overpowered, i suggest maybe putting a high slayer requirement on it to stop the amount of it being farmed.

Runecraft 93, flame-baiting is not welcome in these forums. As such, your post on page two has been removed.

Please stay on topic.

Flame baiting? I don't even remember what I wrote. But I can tell you I wasn't flame baiting. You do realize I can be witty and sarcastic at time. Why bother its like talking to a robot, I am just kidding, see there goes my blabber mouth again. In all seriousness, I can assure you my posts never to flame. Since I don't know what I said since you hidden it I can't confirm what I ever I said it was not what you think. My Clan

The final issue we want to cover is Zulrah and the skeletal wyverns. We have seen that some of you think these two pieces of content are too generous with their drop tables. Our studies tell us that these are about right from a balancing perspective, however we are more than happy to question ourselves. So, once the work outputting the game data to the data warehouse has been done by Ian (as mentioned earlier on in the post) we’ll be asking the Analytics Team to see how many items are coming into the game from Zulrah and the skeletal wyverns compared to other areas and make any changes based on that

- are u guys serious about this? ~25-30% of the money/items cooming in to the game is thru zulrah, the drops needs a
MAYOR
nerf and that to be done
ASAP
! And the boss needs to be a challenge , wich it isnt at the moment since iwe seen multiple cb lvl 75's with the pet. I thought you stated Zulrah to be a challenging boss even for the high lvl'd players?

People can (and commonly do) rebuild their bank from 5m to 150m within 10 days of doing a bit of Zulrah.

- That's it for me.

25% 35% can you prove those numbers for us. Remember they have the numbers. If it were damaging they would have nerfed it many moons ago. Wyverns were never killed due to their shear difficulty, it wasn't worth their petty drops. Now they are, so what is the big deal, I have killed them and they drop good drops but I'd rather runecraft I make more money and its safer to a degree. The dungeon is crowded for the most part its hard to AFK it when they start aggro. Its perfectly balanced in my opinion, and until their data says otherwise and you prove that 25% and 35% figure it will be impossible. My Clan
