"how does this make the game easy? by not forcing quests on someone? there is still the level requirement derp."

How does it not make the game easy... You get access to exp rates you'd normally have to do quests for...

i'm not a level 3 sorry. but i do respect them. they are still palyers you know.

That's not really relevant, my point still stands. And this has nothing to do with respect in regards to lvl 3 skillers, it's about not catering to and making updates AROUND them. Again, choosing to be level 3 is a self imposed restriction. It's like a 1 defence pure demanding that all new armor have no defence requirements so they can wear it.

In my opinion there shouldn't be any updates to skills which give better xphr than current methods, but if there is then there should be fairly significant requirements to access it. i didn't say the update had to cater to them. it would be nice if it didn't have requirements. why do these courses need quests all of a sudden? because it would devalue dorg or ape atoll? do you even realize that those courses have the best xp rates at around 70 for ape atoll and 90 for dorg? plus even with that most skillers go to the wildy course.

why should i be forced to finish legends just so i can go do a course? why give me a realistic reason please. OS Status: Nothing atm.

RS3 Status: 120 Slayer done now onto figuring out what I should do next.

You get access to exp rates you'd normally have to do quests for... yeah and those xp rates you're talking about are only obtainable if you have very high agility. most lvl 3 skillers do the wildy course. and idk the best xp possible but i think it's around 40k or 50k. so again how does that make the game easy?

So from what I read in order to obtain the full outfit it's about sixty hours, except the Ardougne course. Wouldn't it be better if the Marks of Grace had a better chance of spawning as your agility level goes up/the better course you use?

I've already stated my reasons. And ape atoll requires a quest btw. A pretty hard one at that. Why shouldn't ones that give MORE xp\hr have one too?

Why shouldn't ones that give MORE xphr have one too? think of it like this. they are not in quest related areas. like the other two. well except canifis. i think a level requirement is more fair. plus i don't think mod ash or reach is willing to make quests a mandatory requirement to use the courses.

Right, easy is the wrong word. Should be 'easier'.

]think of it like this. they are not in quest related areas. like the other two. well except canifis. i think a level requirement is more fair. plus i don't think mod ash or reach is willing to make quests a mandatory requirement to use the courses.

Part of the reason why the other courses are in quest areas is because they're high level courses far superior to those not in the quest related areas. Why would a newer, far superior course be introduced that is easier to access than the lower level ones (apart from agility level)? There should be significant requirements to access high level content.

Making XP progressively easier to gain is a problem RS had in the past and should be avoided at all costs in 2007 or it devalues the time and work people have put into their skills using current methods.
