A reason for me to train rcing for Fally and Karamja elite diaries. Great update, people can still craft nats for money or make lavas for fast xp.

Although I seem to recall Phoenix Odin did get higher xp rates than posted.

However, comparing casual vs ehp addicts xp rates must be quite the challenge for devs.

I feel that average xp rates should be the data represented, and the data decisions should be based off of. Min/maxers will always strive to get superior rates of experience. The average (see also: majority) of players should not be screwed over to cater to the minority of min/maxers. I originally had the name Llama. It was stolen from me.

I disagree with this potential update. This altar will heavily devalue the appreciation of the RC cape.

No it won't. The only real effects will be felt on the egos of those with high levels who feel that others should have to do EXACTLY what they did to get their own cape.

Rezombified said :
My point is the devalued respect of the RC cape with this addition. Nothing more.
The RC cape would still be respected as a display of someone who has spent an immense amount of time training the Runecraft skill. Even at the ZMI altar, it will still take over an hour per level beginning as early as level 65, with levels 70 and above still taking MULTIPLE HOURS per level. This update will not make everyone level 99 overnight. It will still take HUNDREDS OF HOURS to reach level 99 Runecrafting via the ZMI altar! "The Best XP" (apparently Lava runes) will see you taking a little under 200 hours to reach 99 from the level 23.

The game is gradually getting easier over time (Wintertodt) even though we play osrs for the challenging aspect. Why would we want this game to be made easier? If I wanted to play RS3 I would.

A small increase in the variety of RC training and potential xp rates for ONE AND ONLY ONE method of training that ONE skill does not RS3 make.
And can you honestly say you preferred training firemaking by making lines of fires from Varrock fountain to the west bank? Cause that's the fastest way without subduing the Wintertodt.

People saying no to this because "omg rs3" are literally retarded. It's an update from 2007. :l


Gotta love that bandwagon, eh? Jump on now or suffer the agonizing pain of having your own opinion! *shudder* I originally had the name Llama. It was stolen from me.

If the xp rates remain as what is shown in the topic then i would vote for that. However I don't see people doing this over Zeah.
Plus, it wont take much dev time as it is already "completed" as Mod Kieran said before.
