This feels like a giant FU to ironmen. Why are they changing everything that only benefits people with access to the ge. It is going to be an across-the-board nerf to everything I depend on. I play ironman to avoid external factors of the economy on my game satisfaction. They they come in and change the meta in the most painful way. Just slightly nerf and buff each item respectively. Don't just completely kill items

It is cute listening to all these little girls whining about changes that will marginally change the game like it is an EOC type change. Just stop lol, let these people make the changes that is going to help the long-term health of the game.

No one gives a damn your 75 attack med or pure is going to be ruined. Get better.

Lol Mr Asian Guy, you do realize that this was the exact rationalizing for the EOC changes, too?

Long-term health of the game isn't very relevant if the it wont survive in the long term. Listening to its player base has always been the crux of Runescape iterations surviving long term. This is a tough decision for them, but I personally would rather slow and steady updates to avoid power creep rather than buffing items decades old. I don't need constant new metas/equipment/updates. And if we look at the past, it seems the community doesn't last "long-term" when constant updates are the focus.

Jagex, you should POLL EVERY ONE of these changes, before forcing them through. We (the subscribed players) pay to play this game that we all love for years. Why in earth would you want to force an update through, of which you know that there is very little support for in the first place. You said it yourself, that is the reason for not polling it. Why would you want to upset the player base that pays for your game? Just to bring some new Raids 3 into the game? With even more new OP BIS items that will be unreachable for 95% of the playerbase?

If you really want to ‘fix’ this game, go fix the real issues! The tons of bot farms, the inflation, duel arena gambling, real world trading, account security, gold farmers, etc. That is where the focus should be instead of introducing more endgame content that will be unreachable for most players. I understand that “New Raids 3 out” look better in an advertisement then “We fixed bot farms in our game”. But believe me, the majority of the player base would rather like to see these ‘real issues’ being fixed.

I really think that Jagex has done a good job in the past introducing and maintaining OSRS. It has brought back so many players (including myself), new content was polled to see if it would fit into this game and the community has always had their saying in the evolution of the game. All together it has led to the game we all love today, so please don’t make the mistake (again) by forcing through an update that YOU THINK is necessary. The player base makes this game, please listen to your customers before the game dies down like rs2! I would be really sad to see that happening again.

I want to reiterate that the reason we returned to the game, and the reason RS3 numbers are so low, is because this version listens to its players. Even if that seems to attack the "integrity," it is how y'all have survived this long. Y'all only speeding the inevitable demise.

Imagine nerfing a T75 ranged weapon that degrades, requires ammunition, and is blocked behind high level PvM and not touching a T70, non degradable, better overall DPS weapon in the whip. Maybe focus on the abhorrent botting problem encompassing Zulrah and its rewards? This nerf would remove all ranged relevance to slayer and PvM. Meleescape prevails

^this

quit blaming the low cost on an ease of access: bp is not easy to get for the vast majority of players (indeed, the bulk of your income). blame the bot and gold farmer issue and spend this time (which I can tell y'all have thought very analytically and critically about all this, and I do see that and appreciate that) thinking so analytically and critically about that issue.

I feel the blowpipe nerf was needed however it's too severe of a nerf and it affects ironmen disproportionately more than regular accounts. My Zulrah kills are over a minute longer now and even with rune darts it's barely outperforming a karils crossbow. I'm pretty crestfallen that after all this time I finally grinded up a blowpipe and now it's this bad. Sure on targets with low defense I hear it's still not too bad but it should still be very viable on bosses like Zulrah.

I think I'm gonna go play something else now. Unpolled changes that disproportionately affect your populations is pretty messed up.

Blow pipe is working just fine. It is exactly how they said it would be. under combat 150 it's good. People talking about their ironmans... What are you guys talking about??? Do you just blowpipe everything including bosses??? Hints the equipment rebalance lmao... blow pipe was way op, jagex stepped in and replaced the bossing potential to a new item that needed to be revamped and it deserved to be... go farm for the crystal set, it's not that hard and it will give you more content and a reason to go explore the crystal area's of the game. The crystal bow essentially replaced the blowpipe for higher level monster killing and it finally gave the crystal bow life which it is well deserving of. It has the highest requirements in the game to wield literally but you want the blow pipe to be the op weapon.... This update is a really nice update honestly. And just because 29% of you are whining about the blow pipe being nerfed, look at the fact that they gave us a revamped gear set and weapon that is actually usable and efficient. I still use blow pipe and don't notice a difference at all, just use it how it is supposed to be used, 150 combat and under and go farm for the crystal bow and armor because IT IS OBTAINABLE.... You all literally sound like 5 year olds and comparing this to EOC... I was there for eoc and this is not eoc at all, they are legit reviving dead content and balancing out the weapon system hints "weapon rebalancing".
