Over the course of these updates blogs , you've backed off the nerfs that negatively impact normal players, but have kept the nerf that destroys ironmen. RIP blowpipe. I guess we'll just use a rune crossbow or msb (tier 50weapons) forever.

How tf am I supposed to get rune darts before endgame?
And dragon darts... is there even a way to farm these? Konar slayer keys and hope for rng? I'm almost 90 slayer and probably have only 400 in the bank.

Also, I'm insulted that you've backed off the PB reset yet are still using the term "integrity update". Almost every PB that is worth showing off uses blowpipe. Nothing integrity about this.

Finally, if you want the crystal armour to fill this range gap, then consider making crystal shards buyable from a priff NPC (yet still untradable). It would be a gold sink.

I don't understand why you're catering the game towards maxed players (who have frankly already benefitted from the blowpipe to get where they are). If you're so worried about blowpipe meta on certain bosses, just make it ineffective. "Your measly darts cannot penetrate this monster's armour/hide".

Getting better. D'hide and Bulwark still gets nurfed waay too much, when taken into account that there are multiple non pvp activities in the wilderness. Either relocate all clue steps all bosses and ecumenical key drops to a non wildy spot, implement new armor that is more or less equally cheap/good as current black d'hide, or don't nurf what has been in the game for 17 years(or 4 in case of the shield).

Blowpipe still seems to be nurfed just a tad too much. It's still mind boggling how an item can have been in the game for 6 years, and only now recieve a nurf, and such a big one at that.

Also, in the future, please ffs: Do something about the bots, in this case what would mean much less blowpipes in the ecconomy, which would drive up the price for the blowpipe itself, but also the cost of using it, and therefore less available for players. And also, either think stuff through, OR fix an issue after a week or two. Not 6 years later.

Lastly, I understand that sometimes decisions has to be made where the majority just don't have a say in the matter. So that being said, why not on extremely rare occationins, such as this one, make polls that won't need 75% of all votes to pass, but only 50%? We still have a say in the matter, but are less likely to "win" against you devs.

I hope you lose a significant amount of revenue from subscriptions for retroactively screwing the game over.

The more you go down this path of ignoring the masses of players the closer you get to another mass exodus like free trade/wildy removal and eventually eoc.
You jmods ought to focus on making good updates before pushing out a lot of garbage ones.
Quality > quantity.
We love this game but you're starting to ruin it by not giving the players a voice.
I signed the petition for this game years ago because we were promised polls and voting on content/updates. It seems you have lost sight of the reality WE players created.
Your jobs as OSRS mods only exist because of us, and you're forgetting why you exist in that role.

This is the beginning of the end. I'm just glad I maxed before you ruin the game.

the poll for blessed d'hide on 1 def was worded in such a way that led voters to believe pures would have access to the blessed d'hide bodies as well. Blessed chaps/vambs for 1 def is the definition of a harmless update that benefits restricted accounts. If anything it's fashionscape for them, now with a d'hide nerf it's an actual statistic difference

err BP nerf does affect normal players too and by that I mean casuals like me. Anyways I already cancelled but was hopeful they would reconsider. Based on this recent blogpost they are taking the wait (see how many people quit) approach

So many other ways they could have gone about it like removing spec/poison. They straight up gut the BP which I'm guessing is because they think it's hurting the bond revenue that the TBow brings (They for sure know what bond purchasers are spending their GP on)

How you can metaphorically look us in the face then try to justify doing this without a poll is beyond belief.

I certainly will not renew members on my 2 main accounts or my hcim.

I strongly disagree with the dhide change but had it passed a poll vote i would have accepted it without a complaint.

The damage you are doing to your credibility and to the game by forcing this unpolled change onto us far outweighs any long term benefits you think your going to achieve.

You dont seem to have learned anything from what happened when you forced the EOC changes onto us .

Lets face it i remember a finacial warning being on the cards after all the revenue that was lost from that bad decision and it was only all the revenue from OSRS that got the company back onto its feet.

poll it stop trying to force this just forcing it without a poll this will make ppl lose any trust that was left if this does not get polled that means it's time to move on from osrs seeing as if you will force this you will likely pull more of this crap maybe next time you will bring loot boxes how about fix something that needs fixing bots dead minigames

Is it possible to allow the blowpipes stats to increase to their old stats when entering the inferno considering it's an instance? IMO the inferno is one of the biggest pieces of content that BP really is useful and almost necessary and with this nerf, the content that's already hard for people who can complete it, becomes nearly impossible for people who have not yet had the chance to build their account to attempt it. I'm not sure if this is feasible but I am hoping it's something that can be considered being that inferno is an instance and maybe that instance can trigger the stat increase of the BP to its original stats allowing everyone the fair chance at inferno that people have had to date.
