Im going to use this last one to suggest areas to look into next
-Pickpocketing / Thieving: Please, just make it so the NPC's that are meant to be pickpocketed are just left-click pickpocket-able by default. There is no point to talk to the HAM members when you're not doing the quests, they are mechanically only relevant to thieving. at the very least, in the interest of reducing the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome, just make pickpocketing left-click default on many of the "pickpocket NPC's"
-Bigger change, but look into reworking Ironman in-game shops as a whole. The shop griefing being polled is an issue that by default extends to every in-game shop for Ironman accounts. An entire money making method for Ironmen forces people to pointlessly switch worlds every 10-20 seconds, and similarly trying to buy mass amounts of things (ie. runes) relies on this problem as well. by making it so that Ironmen shops, or even shops as a whole, are "instanced," it eliminates the pointless barriers that make the simple act of Buying and Selling impossible for a very significant portion of the playerbase, and the fact that these shops can always be griefed means that not only is moneymaking effected, but the entire game is effected (what happens when you cant buy a piece of armor since its sold out in every world? why spend two hours buying soda ash across every server OSRS hosts just to get a level in crafting when you could just eliminate that barrier entirely (world hopping is effectively just creating an "infinite stock shop" for ironmen, so its not like this change would create any large imbalance)). Not only that, but by eliminating the need to "world hop," server stability and hosting performance would improve, as the already-strained osrs servers would no longer need to handle shopping/moneymaking world hopping (while it would still need to handle everyone else world hopping for every other reason out there, it cant hurt).
