You are right man!, it hurts the community, they should focus on bringing new items and polishing old content... they should also make the game more attractive to new players as well as taking care of old players.

create new items, quests, adding value to the game

Great ideas and well needed. The majority of the times listed are either completely useless or overpowered meaning the changes are justified. I would also suggest the Dragonhide shield could use a downgrade with their magic defense, as it is way way too high as well. Seeing noobs with all the best items is kinda embarrassing, and all the pures wrecking everyone due to low requirements demonstrate you're right on. I'm surprised it took so long to change the pipe, it's been broken the day it came out...

Great ideas, keep um coming!

Oh... making the bone crusher necklace amazingly awesome makes no sense, it has a lot of good uses already...

Especially liked the Mace and warhammer upgrade, much much needed... and the crystal armour was a great idea too... It was worse than D-hide before which always confused me...

You need to keep SOME penalty with the meds and square shield, but yes, lower them and increase the full helm and kite penalties.

This will help everyone in the long run... Moo

I agree with ALL changes, but the blowpipe. I'm okay with a small nurf, but It can be a strong grind to get and i feel these changes will completely gut the item.

A lot of players have a consensus of the blowpipe being nerfed too hard. I both agree and disagree. The Blowpipe is by far the overall best ranged weapon in the game and doesn't have that many requirements to obtain if one is an iron, but even less if one can simply buy it from the Grand Exchange. Given that it was intended to have a speed of 3 and an oversight led it to what it is, I agree with the hard nerf proposed to the accuracy (fast weapons SHOULD be inaccurate) but less of a strength nerf in my opinion would keep it balanced.


Outside of believing modifications to the Black Dragonhide in a crafting aspect - if the stats are to be lowered I think the crafting requirement to make it should , I agree with the modifications you've made in the post at least in a theoretical sense.

As one player brought up, black D'hide would also be my go-to if I were ever to go into the wilderness for something besides a clue scroll. I think if the changes to D'hide are implemented, the wilderness should be looked at removed from certain worlds and people doing the vast amounts of clue scrolls that now require frequent wilderness trips (especially irons) would be a lot safer. An idea for the inevitable wilderness updated...
- wilderness pvp but ONLY in certain worlds. It would let pvp'ers enjoy the competition while simultaneously reducing the people in it who do not want to engage in pvp
- move the anxiety altar (wilderness prayer training altar) and skilling from worlds that have non-pvp wilderness elsewhere, perhaps a new area in future updates?

this would not only balance wilderness pvp but also make the wilderness accessible to many more players, and could open up possibilities for wilderness bosses to not require safespots to kill, quests, or even lore for introducing new updates (eg a wilderness obelisk can teleport you to a new area)

I also think that all players should have been invited to the survey changes proposal.
Respectfully,

Calleigh/iCalleigh

At least poll the changes, keep the results divided between ironmen and normies.

If you want accurate results do a mandatory poll for everyone who logs in. 2 minutes of their time is better than them quitting as the expensive gear is only worth having, which takes over hundreds of hours of game play to achieve which a lot of players don't really have. Look how long I've played and I don't have any end game equipment, nor have I used them :(

played since release, and when they created EOC, unsure why it says 2020?

I have a feeling this rebalance numbers they are showing us are to make us cry to jagex. then jagex will look good only nerfing them a little bit and say look we didn't go to far we listened. but if they showed us stats half of what this nerf would do you would see same outcry.

Hi guys, fifth time here.

Imagine imagining the imagination of playing this game for the nostalgia, and then having that same nostalgia ripped out of you with these "integrity re-balances".

Tackling power creep does not mean nerfing current items.
it means adding medium tier items to bridge the gap between blowpipe and t bow.
between ahrims and encestral.
d hide and armadyl.

you guys are gonna break the game.
please what was in the coffee this morning?
