Man why are people always so negative.

Good job jagex, you have valid arguments and obvious put more effort in doign good than all the negative people out here. Don't lsiten to them and jsut keep doign a great job like always.

Lot's of people focus way to much on a negative way of living!

Keep positive y'll! BLESS!

UPDATE.

So I kept testing it for longer it is really bad said previously. Its not just that you nerfed Onyx bolt drops, you nerfed rune ore/bar ; battlestaff and many other drops. It is fine to reduce how often you get something worthy, which you already did, but besides that you cut the average drop value by 50%! when maybe a 25% would have been more optimal. (at the current state drops should be increased by 1,5 times)

The rev caves are pretty much empty now, and its mostly people who used to kill for the last few days, once they come there, they want to leave as its simply not worth your time anymore. There is also much less PKERS as there used to be.

Please adjust your hotfix, as the current version is really far from the "SWEET SPOT"

Why don't you just remove all the resource drops and instead add drops unique to Revenants? Many players have suggested ideas, and it seems a bit illogical to keep making bosses and high-level NPCs drop all the same resources/items.

Let's make things clear:

Top profit in rev caves would be 99 range with blowpipe+dragon darts and cannon. The loot would be a consistent 5-6m hour.

For the regular joe (Without any cannon), GS/Elder Maul/Blowpipe, the loot would be somewhere near the 2-3m hour.

For the plebs (not maxed/not using top tier weapons), the loot would be somewhere near the 1m-1.5m hour.

Now, and making a reference to what you said on the original update post (" On average, we estimate a typical player would have been earning anywhere from 1.40m to 2.04m per hour whilst at the Revenant caves. " ), i wonder why didn't you tried ( YES, INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AT GRAPHS AND DATA, PUT SOME HANDS ON AND SEE WHAT IS WRONG THERE! ) to remove the cannon first? With this, 99% of your identified problems would be solved.

Plus, this is the only PvM content in where you couldn't bot. The money was made by real players.

For me, i was in both sides: PK and PvM. And, gosh... I had fun like i never had in a long time.

played so much rs b4 EOC. started playing again after much haste in that i spent so much of my life for accounts now useless (RS3).. now have a mid level on OSRS and let me say - rev caves was the most fun i have had in so long, fun i hadnt had since pre EOC. I pvm'd there (blowpipe rune darts at 96 range getting plenty of kills) and also pk'd there. WHAT A BLAST, seriously was on for hours and enjoyed every death while pvming lol. welp, that's my two cents, sad to see it nerfed, i wont be playing nearly as much, GZ

not happy the way you hotfixed it . personally would have like to see some different changes like removing some drops from the table as bolt tips and making resources drops a lower amount. Now you get often nothing or coins also could have made the respawn timer longer and the cnanon fix shoudl have been done in the first place. I feel like changing the amount of a item dropped being lowered would have done better than rebalancing the odds on loot.
Getting alot of nothing an coins was the whole reason revs died out in the first place. Hope yall come to terms and change some shit along the way.
