Equipment Rebalancing
Quick find code: 380-381-687-66199347
Rebalancing is one thing but absolutely trashing items is another. Taking the blowpipe for instance... reducing attack bonus by 50% and ranged strength by 37.5% is a tremendous nerf.
if you must nerf it a 10-15% nerf for either strength or attack bonus or even both would be somewhat more palatable. I feel if you go so crazy on one item you haven't rebalanced but instead just destroyed the use of this one item. The consumables e.g. zulrah scales make it deserve some strength/accuracy
One example is: In games of soul wars there are loads of players that run around in max gear with overpowered weapons and armour. If you nerf the cheaper/more accessible weapons you ruin the game for the casual player and makes OSRS a game for those that reach endgame content only. In your suggested rebalancing post you have literally left all the overpowered weapons untouched and increased the level requirements which literally does nothing as most players using these weapons have 99s in all the requirement stats. At the same time you have destroyed other items E.g. the blowpipe and to an extent the Bulwark
In short destroying certain cheaper items with high consumable cost is not the way to do things. Moreso you should be polling such ideas before even contemplating (i.e. poll questions like: Would you support rebalancing weapons? What level of nerfing is acceptable e.g. 5%, 10%, 15% etc for items)
While you are at it you might as well buff the salamanders so that they can hit on other players in soul wars
