Dear Jaqex,

Please leave the game as it is. Why reduce the power of range? Why change the game to make it EOC? Took me a year to build my account on this current game. Now you are changing it. For what reason......

I feel scammed, and I am experiencing the same issue I had before when EOC came and I stopped playing Runescape. To be honest, I am blaming myself for coming back to this.

Jaqex please if you still insist on your updates please provide a server for that alone like rs4 or something leave the current game as it please.

As someone who is just about to reach lvl 75 attack I feel ripped off by these changes. Why can't you just leave existing items alone and develop new ones to fill the gap as required. I was looking forward to access to things and now you have shifted the goalposts. So unfair.

I agree with all Updates and Nerfs, BUT NOT WITH THE BLOWPIPE!!!!

Ur putting the bp on the same lvl as a Crystal Bow or a Karil Xbow.

Im playing Ironman and got both items really early this Game. It is so easy to get!
But Blowpipe? damn Guys, im working over a Year to get the Trident and just started grinding Zulrah and now ur nerfing Blowpipe to this cheap silly Items???

Increase the Range requirement of Blowpipe to 90, it fucking doesnt matter me at ALL! But DONT nerf it!!!

In the End Blowpipe is just that good as the Players are. Example at Vorkath: Blowpipe is not the Best Item, if u cant do the wooxwalk...

God Damt!!

How about you kill off bots to re=balance things? too hard I suppose. They infest the party room nowadays. I can report them everyday and every day they are still there. Rather screw the game for legitimate players?

Overall, decent changes, but there's some issues.

If dragonhide is to be nerfed, there should be alternatives, since it is pretty much the only thing you can wear between snakeskin and Karil's leather armour. (not counting stuff from treasure trails) Proposal: a new set (coif, body, chaps, boots) at level 55 Defence/Ranged. It would be purchased from Reldak in Dorgesh-Kaan by bringing him money, fine cloth from Mort'ton and some blurite bars (since it's rather malleable but still metallic). The resulting armour has relatively high melee and magic defence as a result of the ingredients, but slightly lower ranged attack bonuses than dragonhide. This would make it a good ranged armour at mid-level for when defence is really important but you still need some attack bonus (since chainmails etc. give none).

Then, mage robes. Currently, their distribution across levels is odd. At 20, you have Xeric's robes, which is fine. Then at 40, mystic and some treasure trail stuff. Suggestion: buff splitbark to 45 or something and slightly increase its magic attack. Its defence is good but you'd still never use it because mystic has vastly superior offensive bonuses. Also add some minor ranged defences.

Skeletal armour should be moved from 40 to 50 and similarly buffed. Its magic attack bonus is risible, and its ranged defence detrimental. Currently, it focusses on melee defence like splitbark. To differentiate the two, I would suggest giving it a slight magic strength bonus (perhaps 5% for the whole set), and upping its magic attack and defence whilst reducing its melee defence somewhat. Mystic would still be an alternative with the highest magic offence but pretty much no defence, whilst splitbark would be better for melee and ranged defence.

Finally, infinity robes. They are quite hard to obtain but not worth it. Make the requirement 60 Magic and buff the magic offence bonus. Add some minor melee defence bonuses [continued] Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

that are still inferior to splitbark or skeletal. Since they are associated to runecrafting and rune guardians, perhaps a small prayer bonus? Finally, I'd suggest a set effect when using elemental spells (not Ancients). No concrete suggestions here, but the robes are sufficiently difficult to obtain to warrant this.
