My takeaway from all the comments: the number of people who apparently came to see Zulrah as an indispensable way to get resources and money just shows why nerfing it was so important. The beauty of Runescape, to me, is having to master multiple avenues to amass resources and gain experience/skill, and it sounds like Zulrah had become almost a one stop shop for advancing in the game.
Have you even seen raids drop table? Zulrah was slowing down for money anyway.

As others have said, I literally feel that the motivation to play this game has gone with this single update.

I don't really care about the Zulrah nerf, I never did Zulrah myself however I had no problem with people making 3M an hour grinding it. You can go to the duel arena and make billions an hour if you have luck.

For me the issue lies with nerfing both the serpentine helm and void.

I have 2 accounts, I don't get to play as often as I used to as I have commitments in life such as a job and university. I have been grinding every bit of my free time on this account because the only thing I enjoy in this game is PvP, and I feel as though it's now going to be pointless me pking.

Void isn't OP in itself, the other stuff you introduce alongside it is. Rigour and heavy ballista.

My combat level is 81, when I go pking there are 3 different types of account build;

- Void
- Pures
- Zerkers.

Voiders are strong, don't get me wrong, however, they also have to risk a minimum of 180k just from void.

Pures are strong and risk nothing. They can pk with a magic shortbow and a single weapon such as a granite maul or AGS, you kill a pure and you end up spending more money on supplies than you pk. Heavy ballista can max around 60 at my combat (I don't even have it unlocked yet, I have grinded slayer for days and days just to get it but now it's pointless), I can get hit with a MSB to AGS combo for more damage than that, let alone being able to use a G MAUL as an instant combo.

Zerkers are also very strong, you give melee so many different bonuses such as defenders, fire capes, boots, gloves, torso, amulets and yet the only bonus rangers had was void.

The fact that people can combo-eat food to max health is stupid, I used to play back in 2004 where the only food you'd have for pking was Shark and the only strength bonus you'd have was your amulet and weapon.

You said you wanted to make zulrah less profitable.
You made it slightly less profitable, but

You nerfed it way too hard for ironmen!

Please sit down and take another look at the drop table, and this time keep ironmen in mind.

as a player killer in void, with rigour 90 def 99 range at 103 cmbt, i get spec'd out by ags constantly in void? so you make it weaker? idm. but it feels like a bias apporach to this
claw g maul rusher spec tab? unballenced?
barrage ags tab,?
spec tab....
g maul rush 3 hit,
all pvp seems overpowerd, the fact is void isnt great at level say 60-75
because pures, 3 hit g maul them? now there even more weaker lol
the zulhar nerf abit late i guess?
so is elite void debuffed? been grinding for it for so long. i been on a break recently, guess see when i saw the (runescape has been updated) i was like sick!! new stuff, turns out they just nerfed a whole communitys builds and left the others alone? like double spec ags isnt op or claw to ags lol? gf voiders, idc tho im pretty done with this now. exuses the terrible spelling. not really instrested in trying to do the right thing.

Original message details are unavailable.
Sorry to join in but you can't say someone that builds an account for one purpose is cancer! all the different pure that are built just for pking, all the lvl 3 skilling accounts. are they cancer?
if someone builds an account to do something they like cause the rest of the game doesn't interest them has just the same right to play the game they are paying for!


Well, since you seem to be defending purely their rights to make an account, and play as they see fit, i will give you my insight at this.

The problem isnt how they chose to play the game, and as much as i feel sad for them, its enterily up to them.

My point is. If you just completely "shut down" for any updates that doesnt fit your gameplay, and start complaning about it, without even measuring how beneficial they will be in the future of your own community, you ARE being a cancer, and a very selfish one.

Many of those here that support this update also like bossing (even though i dont), and are being "handicaped" by this update as much as they are, but they can actually see the "big picture" and put their interests aside for the well being of the game as a whole, this is how a healthy community works.

I myself play as an ironman in my alt account, and even though i will really feel that this changes will be an obstacle for me, its for the greater good.

I am sorry, but the way i see it is no other than of childish people whinning selfishly about something that they didnt like
