DON'T START CATERING TO SWEATY REDDIT PARAGRAPH WRITERS WHO OVERANALYZE "INTEGRITY" OF ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR 5+ YEARS. Don't turn this into another EOC/RS3. Don't sacrifice mid-level players for some false, post-endgame players' understanding of "integrity"

Please dont do this nerf,

WHY THE HELL dont you poll this type of things like you promised us?

Especially these type of things need to go through the players themselves.

Im not saying i disagree with a lot of changes but not all of these should be done IMO.

Please discuss it and POLL THESE DECISIONS. Please dont let this game turn out like RS3 especially the EOC crap

Deal with the Zulrah bots, rather than nerf the BP so drastically... after it's been released for half a decade... "longevity" yet the community has continued to grow despite this allegedly gamebreaking item...

Please at least poll this in game, dont force it upon players like EOC. The poll you have in your main article seems to be based on the input of like 10k players. This update destroys maxed med level accounts or any special accounts that are balanced around the meta (or PvPing) that has been in the game for years. It doesn't even define what power creep is in jagex's language so it's vague what the problem actually is that this update is trying to address. Please consider not all accounts are maxed mains and the game shouldn't only be balanced for the end game players. Instead of tweaking existing content for end game players you can always add newer content with higher stats or special effects.

On another note the idea of tweaking early game and med level item stats is a good one to add variety, but it should also be polled as well....

I think the faceguard SHOULD be nerfed because it lacks negative ranged/mage bonuses. It’s actually more OP in these endgame situations than you think, because it can free up 2 inventory spaces while providing great defensive bonuses.

The bulwark IS problematic, it just hasn’t been focused on because we don’t have high-scale pvp situations (until soul wars).

Blowpipe-yeah, it comes from a high level boss, but it doesn’t “open” up COX or GWD. I’ve done these bosses very recently without the toxic blowpipe and I still kill these monsters, it just takes forever. And it’s disheartening to see that getting the blowpipe speeds up kills like crazy when it shouldn’t be (which also means less supplies and other things used...ultimately not fair).

And no, not all high end players use bonds to pay for their membership. You might be thinking of just stakers (well even then...probably not).

Considering this game is super old, I’m sure most of its players are

This is such a dissociated, pretentious perspective, and decidedly the sweaty reddit perspective that led to this proposal. People like this represent such a small group of post-endgame perspectives. Most of us normal, mid-level players will never have this mindset. Stop pandering to these overanalytical, post-endgame perspectives.

The way to balance the game isn't through nerfs for equipment, it's through new monsters/bosses/raids that DO NOT RELY ON CURRENT EQUIPMENT (Render the blowpipe useless at new monsters). What you're doing would render some items useless, it would also severely affect the ironman community; all they have is the blowpipe for majority of the game, they can't just go buy something. This is quite literally how EOC almost killed RS, had it not been for OSRS, game would be dead. Don't fix what's not broken. I've never seen someone complain about any of these items. To get them you need to do ALOT. and TBH, it feels quite good getting something powerful on an iron as it takes years basically. These proposed changes render zulrah useless, may as well use ibans rcbow from now on. Game is super fun as is, dont ruin it.
