OSRS Team @ Jagex.

You guys need to be fired and replaced with a team that gets the job done right. Why bring content into the game only to make it obsolete in a few weeks?

We need a team that isn't flip flopping on releases like the rev caves. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND QA PROPERLY BEFORE YOU GO-LIVE WITH NEW CONTENT!

Horrible "Hotfix"!

Shame on you morons!

Whyyyy? Revs were actually fun and worth while killing/ pking. The community was actually enjoying the content and it brought all players into the wild. Well this was the most fun I'd had in years, no more fun now :( Should at least poll this.

What the actual hell are you doing jagex? As stated in the first poll, you wanted the average player to earn around 2M/h, yet in the news post, you state that was roughly what people were earning. THE POINT OF AN AVERAGE IS THAT SOME PEOPLE EARN MORE AND SOME PEOPLE EARN LESS.

What you should have done is just remove cannons, that would of fixed the apparent problem you thought existed.

Stop listening to reddit memers, you wanted wilderness rejuvenation, you got it with the buff to revs, now you nerf them and the wilderness is going to be dead and boring again.

Whoever thought of this fix should be fired, useless.

If rev caves are as nerfed as im reading then i just wasted my entire week, getting 1750 total and building wildy oblisk + getting all stats for wilderness hards on my lvl 83 max pure.

Honestly if you wanna nerf revs, remove the stupid ass gp statues and leave the ancient crystal as the key reward or rare drop. the small drops more than enough make going there without the need for the stupid ass gp items.

Revert this update to the nerfed drop table.
Remove cannons
Remove the relic effigy statue ect.

There now revs are balanced with a high risk high reward ontop of having rewards that you lose on death, or just make the relics ect lost on death always making it good idea to look for people turning them in for profit or just to pile some lucky dude who got 1 there while you was just chilling.

Hello guys, I feel like this update was a very poor choice in all respects aside from the cannon part of the update. From my experiences, PVP content was extremely dead to me and i had no want in doing it as well. My character was focused on getting to a point where I can boss for 9 hours and hope for a good drop that is not even guaranteed . Truthfully, this update pulled me to play the game all day long as I've never had so much fun with it until today seeing the huge drop in players at revs.

I've joined 7 different discord communities, my friends list went from 7 people to around 35 that I would communicate with frequently and play along side the game. This brought several people together and I dont see why you would pull such a fine part of the game away so severely. PVMing was the biggest money maker here as I myself made more money doing so than the times i went PKing, which is why I suggest cannoning being the only change.

For 25 minutes straight, I was involved in a 4 HUGE clan war there, over 200 people fighting with great communication (I'm sure in all discords/teamspeaks) and for playing this game for a year I would have never expected to do so. I strongly believe the developers behind this update should consider revising it to make PKing viable again. I'm positive the "graphs" will show this too along side with an increase of people going to the Sand Casino since its again the only fun thing for people with wealth to do again!

Surprised there's so many people complaining here. Have anyone noticed what's happened to resource prices ever since revs update? Law runes? Coal? Yews? Too much gold getting introduced into the game aside, and too much resources are too.

The game's already combat oriented enough. If such a large portion of the playerbase already prefer to do combat over skilling, do you really need to give them even more incentive to do those activities by giving them much higher profits per hour and dropping resources so you don't even need to skill to obtain them?

I've read a few posts above and I see people going, where's my 3m/hr? Nerfed too hard and dead content, etc. You are treading on a dangerous road here. A few years ago 3m/hr would've been unthinkable. Now people won't do the content for any less because of raids, Vorkath, Zulrah, and the like exist. Meanwhile, the highest level requirement skilling activities reward you for half of that for comparable effort (blast furnace, non-Zeah runecrafting). The balance is just completely messed up and I think this is a step in the right direction. I don't know if law runes, coal, etc. will return to their original prices or if the damage has already been done though.

So many entitled people here....

Jagex's data showed that revs were being killed far quicker than they intended....so they nerfed them to compensate for that.

They will be buffed again if any of the uniques pass in March. Hopefully, they will keep polling uniques until some pass, just as they done with raids.

Believe magic to only be for support? Think again. It's just as valid of a Pking style as melee and range is.
