I believe they dont even care and read this at all. So why bother.
I extended my membership once more, just with the hope they will do something and re-tweak revs. If they wont, its up to them.

I am sure if they check the stats, they will see a rise in online and activity during such an update, which is just a matter of time, once people will stop playing once more.

I did quit when u nerfed Zulrah. Then I came back when you made revenants worth to kill. (said last logged in like 350 days ago or so)
Now you nerf the one thing I came back for.

And you say hotfix.
This is not a hotfix. You are nerfing without a poll. Without the community's permission to do so. You are cheating the rules.


Meh.

Just a couple of notes/ideas that may help:
1. I think the bigger issue is that osrs needs more money sinks in the game. I can see where you are coming from in the fact that revs is introducing a load of wealth into the game. However, people have excellent points when they bring up the fact that people can kills NPCs anywhere else in the game risking millions to billions in gear with no risk, only reward. To address this (and potentially create a money sink), if armor/gear is lost during PVM, make it become damaged and need to be repaired to use it again (maybe at a fixed percentage of what the item is worth; for example: if you die with a 20 mil item, it will break and require 2 mil to repair to be able to use again).
2. As others have said, great call on removing cannons.
3. But along with what they said on the other hand, maybe buff the rev drops a little more to meet half-way in between where they are now and where they were before the hot fix. This may draw more attraction again.
On a side note, people need to stop flipping out and swearing on the post replies, it isn't going to get anything accomplished.
Thanks for the consideration!

just to throw it out there even removing cannons was silly lol


Put it back to exactly how it just was. If you want to nerf it nerf it 20% or take out onyx bolts. I wouldnt nerf it at all tbh 5m was for max players regardless what you nerf it too they will get higher as they get the kills. FOr average joe i was getting 1m per hour maybe 1.5 thats perfect and i thought i could finally start saving for construction

Yeah its dead content again. Its funny becuase after playing runescape for over 10 years I never even tried Pking until revs came out. The week that it was live was seriously the most fun Ive ever had in runescape. I couldnt get enough, and Im not just saying that becuase I made a ton of money. I hardly even broke even with the amount of times I died trying to Pk. That didnt matter though, because I had FUN.

You wanted to rejuvenate the wild, and you did it. So many people who would have never bothered ever going into the wild except for the occasional clue, wildy slayer, or diary tasks actually had a real insentive to go out there.

By your own admission the drops werent too strong. The team just had a knee jerk reaction to all the whining cry babies on Reddit. As if they didnt abuse Zulrah pre nerf, Guthans NMZ, 6hr Splashing, or even Karamja shops. The list goes on and on.

Be confident in the updates you release, and dont listen to the minority pretending to be the majority. It may be anecdoteal but everyone Ive spoken to loved the buff and hated the nerf. Hell, even everyone on this fourm seems to unanimously dislike the hotfix. Removing cannon was a good call, but no cannon and huge nerf means more dead content, more wasted dev time, and more doubt being shead on Jagex and their abilty to run the game. We finally had a really good Pking update and it was ruined by shear fear mongering.

You had it right the first time. Please Rebuff.

I just want to tell a little story about my progress since revs were released.

On initial release I was really hyped - i did revs for awhile and constantly got pked, but still made some money and enjoyed it. As a mid-level account, I figured that getting up my total level to 1250 would be really beneficial, as there'd probably be less pkers my level. So I did exactly that. I grinded 200+ levels and finally hit 1250. I even got 70+ agility for some of the escapes in the cave.

I was getting pked alot less and was having a great time.

Then the buff rolled around and I figured, hey this is awesome. But there were still quite a few pkers around so i thought, why not go for 1500 total? So I grinded 250 more skilling levels, and was even considering getting 84 agility (+ summer pie, of course) for the southern agility escape.

After all this work, I'm a few levels from 1500, and hey what do you know? A hot-fix has been applied. No warning, no poll, just a hot-fix.

After spending tons of hours and GP you can see what this update might upset me a little.

That being said, I feel like after the first buff, you guys accomplished so much of what you were going for. You had pkers and PvMers flooding the caves. It was fun and engaging. I was personally doing things I would have NEVER done in RS, with the goal of hitting 1500 total level so I'd have a tiny bit of an edge in the caves. I trained many different things, all for the benefit of one goal. It feels like I made it to the top of a hill then got pushed off.

I'm glad I didn't grind to 84 agility because that would have all been for nothing, as the caves are mostly dry of pkers now.

But the point being; I was way more engaged in the game - skilling, pvming, and pking-wise. I feel like you guys had something so good.. and aside from feeling screwed over personally, I think a lot of people have similar feelings. Anyway, I hope things are improved.

I agree ^

Jagex look at the population drop in the caves since the hotfix.
Honestly, I'm going to pull both of my memberships until something is worth coming back to.

It was clear this was bringing players into PVP and risk PVM. Now its just dead content like most of the map/Zeah.

Bring back the fun!

Please

Revs should absolutely be buffed again asap, the loot there right now isn't that bad actually. It's just that with the recent nerf, everyone treated it like it was the end of the world. Which dramatically decreased the recent boost of PvP in the wilderness that came with the initial buff. That being said, from a person who is for anything that will boost the wildy PvP scene, i truly believe rev caves should be re-adressed.
