While I don't think the death mechanics are generally bad. I do think it's needs a more mainstreamlined system where there aren't 2131 rules.

But what I can't stand is that, or unless I'm being a pretty big idiot and misunderstood the newpost, you nerfed the sepulchre AGAIN? That's just a big no. You should've given it some love and increase the non-afk, intensive, steep learning curve xp-rates.

This week's update downgraded the game.

Listen to the community, use your polling system.

Jagex, I believe we should not be forcing the censorship. We have the reporting function as our tool and that will be used for people using offensive language which includes racism.

The gravestone is a fantastic update although, if it is not claimed and the gravestone crumbles it should sit on the floor for everyone to see at a timer of 1 minute. After that, then it can be sold to Death.

Can we please have the Death animation using his Scythe when someone dies while pking? I really loved that concept and it was sad that it came only in Halloween!

Because I'm generally pretty easy going about what has been released and I enjoy most of the updates I never feel the need to post here but this one is a step too far. I have played the game for many years on various accounts and I have never seen an update as detrimental to the old school game as this one. What is the reasoning? I would love to know. To provide an item and gp sink to the game? ~90% of the wealth in the game belongs to stakers. No one who isn't gambling will ever have enough to even compare (and those are the ones that will be paying into the sink). I agree with what everyone else has said about this marking a new era of old school runescape and one I am not proud to be a part of. A poll is not really a poll when all of the options provided are equally detrimental to the game and the community is forced to choose one.

Difference working on Zulrah first kill yesterday to today. Post update my trident now is emptied out so you are collecting the runes and no gp so cannot reload the staff right there but have to bank. Just mentioning it because pre update you received the staff back still charged. Bit of an annoyance.

First of, thank you for the hard filter. It irks the shit out of me when I see people spamming "N****R". And I appreciate Jagex standing up for the black community. I also appreciate the GP sink in new death mechanics, as that will drive more revenue to the game.

But that's where it stops. Instead of listening to regular players about the hallowed sepulchre, you've decided to side with the sweaty tick perfect players saying it's "OP". We should have been looking SOLELY at an XP buff to looting, and MAYBE a redistribution from floor 5 down.

Instead you decreased overall XP for EVERYONE, looters and non-looters alike. I am again extremely disappointed. Please please please, listen to your regular players. NOT the streamers, NOT the heavy sweaters. This is not roof-tops. This requires much more attention and should be rewarded as such.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you can fix this issue going forward.

Even untradable is stored in the grave so like people doing sire which use dramen staff to get to the place they would need to have 2 dramen staff of lumbridge elite or wait for 15 min to collect from reaper. Quite a bad update imo making boss which can easily stack player out extremely hard (eg, cerb, sire) as one misclick you need to find ways to get back.

Secondly most player die because they are at bare min gear. So Advising them going with cheaper gear is so....

I guess my criticism of why I decided to stop my subscription is not so much about the movement that you decided to support, but rather that you decided to support a political movement.
I am tired of my escapist activities being polluted by people who think of their arbitrary causes as some form moral supperiority. However, I can block them. I cannot block the company creating the game itself.
Now, I have decided to block a minor flow of currency to a legal entity that uses this resource for political gain as this is my only viable option as a consumer. This is unfortunate, as I quite like the game.

You know, it's funny, I was just talking about how great Jagex is for keeping an open platform for dialogue across so many countries. I've played this game for 15-16 years. Basically grew up in this community. I've been involved in and witnessed so many conversations across borders that would never happen otherwise if it wasn't for this game we all know and love and have in common. I've met people in real life that I first met in this game. What you have (or I suppose I should say had ) is the perfect platform to express one's self with pure freedom within a SOCIETY. We speak among the PUBLIC, and the PUBLIC makes it very clear if what you're saying is socially acceptable or not. This community as a whole is not toxic. So why go down the slippery slope of censorship? Why do you feel you have to decide what words or phrases I'm allowed to see?

Everyone that plays this goofy game is an adult and is fully capable of using the IGNORE LIST that you implemented for the use of SELF CENSORSHIP. I should be the only person deciding what I say and what I read. If someone says something nasty and I don't like it? It's 2 clicks away and I NEVER SEE THAT PERSON AGAIN. I choose who talks to me! Amazing!

But no that's not good enough. Jagex has to hold our hand and shield our eyes when we're scared.

Since we're here anyway,

HOW ABOUT WE START BY CENSORING BOT ADVERTISEMENTS CLUTTERING EVERY WORLD?
