That's a start on the Drake update but they're still a blocked task for how long it takes to kill them and how little they reward you without getting the drop for brimstone boots. You still have to dodge the dragon fire or take the extra damage. They have a ton of hp and drop table isn't that great. I make more per hour killing blue dragon or wyrms than drakes. Drakes need a buff to be worth killing and not a blocked task

You really should try going outside.

Honestly..

I hail from Runescape Classic and I don't feel as insanely offended as he seems to be.

Jagex, thanks for the F2P quest though. Gestures like this are always appreciated.

Moving Veos' ship is an awful idea and wasn't polled. MOVE HIM BACK TO PORT SARIM! How this happened without consulting the community is beyond me. It makes absolutely no sense to have a port in a city next to the largest F2P port area in the game. CHANGE IT BACK!

And since the whole concept behind Kourend Favor has now changed and you don't lose favour, I would love a way to get back the favor I lost in Piscarillious House. I hadn't finished it and wanted to use the range at Hosidius house so I worked on getting my favour up in that house, now the certificate I spent on Piscarillious is gone forever just mere weeks before this update? I only had 20% favour, but still!

I personally am not a fan of the mob mentality being displayed here. Boo hoo, one ship was moved to be easier to get to. What a huge deal, this will kill the game! /s

Get over it, they shouldn't have to poll absolutely 100% everything. Most of the time, actual beneficial changes are screwed over for either Slayer or meme updates. I am firmly in the camp that Jagex should push through sections of updates that would be ignored by the large amount of idiots on the game who think "Update = BAD!"

Get over yourselves, people. It's not the end of the world! Oh, I almost forgot.
Oh, I already forgot.

I was so excited for an update for once because the ranged cape combining with vorkath's head passed the poll! All I want is for my skillcape to actually be useful. Instead I got a new quest which is sweet, but MAKE MY SKILLCAPE USEFUL!!!!

You completely changed two iconic locations in Runescape for anyone who has previously played the game. Lumbridge and Draynor village are probably the two most visited cities when you're a noob, and you changed them both without a poll, and when not a single person asked you to.

The pub at least uses the same building, and could have possibly passed a poll if it laid out the reasons behind the change and how it will help new players find their way.

The dock next to the iconic willow trees in Draynor, however, is a huge mistake. It ruins the look of the entire area, and moves the ship over a miniscule amount. Why is there suddenly a ship leaving a brand new port when there is literally a port right next to it that was perfectly fine? Not everything in this game has to be changed so that people will find it easier. Exploration is one of the main points in an MMORPG, and you're slowing killing that off by changing up locations that have been untouched in decades.
Honestly, use your heads and revert it and find another way to help out the newer players, rather than dismantling everything that was nostalgic about the game piece by piece.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall and know who to blame in particular, but this is absolutely ridiculous and the entire team is responsible as far as I'm concerned. Soon you're going to have the people that care about the game no longer caring, because it certainly seems like you're just catering to the mobile players now and in effect ignoring those that have been around forever. If you don't poll things what's the difference between this and how we ended up getting EoC?

THIS. Stop with the unpolled changes you are ruining the nostalgia of the game. This continued behavior and I'm out. Typical Jagex.
