No! No XP multipliers!
There are some things in this game that you can and cannot alter. XP rates and Economic wealth (gold, items, etc) are up on the tip top of list of things NOT to change!
I understand that you, Jagex, need to push incentive for people to play this new content, but this is the wrong way to tackle it! You're forgetting the fundamental purpose of this game! First, and most importantly, LET THE PLAYERS DECIDE! We don't care if you think it's the coolest idea ever. Nothing should be added didn't pass (let alone didn't show up) on the polls. Second, this is Old School Runescape!
Just ask yourselves. What would the old Jagex team think of this? What would Andrew Gower and his friends of such an update? I guarantee you that the XP rate would be scrapped, and I think you know the reason why. Do not implement it or the Runescape will fall. Again. It won't be runescape anymore. It'll be another corporate scheme that'll end in microtransactions and microrewards because you are too lazy to put in real content and take the easy way out by tinkering with the rewards system. That is not what game developers do. Game developers create new content. Do not think like businessmen and try to rake in profit by taking shortcuts. It will harm the game.
