As for the 'pures' controversy, I think we have to keep in mind what 'pures' are in this context.
Pures are a self-imposed challenge. These are players who deliberately avoid training certain combat skills, mostly because of some perceived pvp challenge, or something like that.
I've never entirely understood this myself, since I like to make my characters' attack, strength, and defense equal, and train all of those at once when I can. But different players like to play differently, and we musn't begrudge them.
So I basically have no opinion either way on whether 'pures' should be allowed to bypass Daero's XP rewards for the original Monkey Madness quest. But I suppose if they want to, it's okay -- though I DO wonder if boss battles with NPC antagonists might be more difficult for pures. If, for example, they don't train defense, they might end up using up more food and prayer than those who have a good defense level.
But what do I know? As I said, I'm not someone who goes for this sort of self-imposed challenge.
