Looks like I'm quitting. I don't want to play a game that's going on the same path like the other game did.

Goodbye.

Good we don't need people who can't read or don't want a harmless update. Tell me if there was no update since OSRS conception nobody would be playing. Remember OSRS had 100k+ players in the beginning and if it wasn't for GWD, Rooftops, NMZ, etc. We wouldn't be playing this game. But you are entitled to your belief.

Harmless? No, it's the problem that people can AFK all they want now and won't be interrupted.

Before you try to say I voted ''no'' on everything, I voted yes on almost every update, but making randoms like this is something I can't accept, so it's time to leave.

Question: Should the "User has logged in/out" pm notification disappear after 10 seconds?

That is great ! and a option to disable completely will be awesome :O

because the 10 sec is great when you have a small friend list , but when you have a really big friend list it will not really help :|

*Waves at Heritage* See ya!

Now I can teleport without being TERRIFIED of getting nailed by randoms. I can actually teleport to where I want to go! I shouldn't have to feel anxious just clicking teleport, OK!!!!!

I wish I could describe how many times I've been hit with randoms while just trying to teleport-it really would irritate me!
I HATED IT!
<if you need any convincing about the level of my anger. I want to teleport to falador, but instead have to do molly or the maze, I just wanted to scream!

If it takes having a player leave the game, so that I can
simply teleport
in peace to where I want-then let me show you the door! *slams door shut*.



However, some of the aggressive randoms actually were fun. Evil chicken, Tree spirit, and Golem were pretty good (they needed better rewards tho). My wife recently told me that the evil chicken was something she actually liked-because it scared her to death the first time she saw it-so the game was exciting and felt dangerous.

The long randoms had to go, however. She often could not complete the maze without my help. I'm so glad they will be optional (from how the poll is currently going).

I think people are failing to see that OSRS is not at all a high interaction game. The idea of watching the same frames happening for hours on end just to grind your skills up is not fun, Jagex knows this and made RS3, which is a lot more interactive, rather than point-click-watch. The old-school team understands this and that is why randoms are being redone. With the change in randoms people assume the game is ruined. No, those who bot will still bot, those who AFK grind will still do so, and the few who watch every minute will continue to do so. At this point randoms only affect the AFK players, disturbing them with a minor inconvenience every so often. Those who auto click do so at Pest control anyways where there are no randoms, and if I'm correct, the barrows graves also have no randoms.

So the change they are implementing with randoms really is a small quality of life change to those who afk grind and wish to fill their time in with other stuff as well, because spending 100 hours woodcutting to the same 3 frames of animation does get tedious (as I do, playing another game with my sounds from runescape going so I know when I'm no longer woodcutting, to make a quit tab in and out, or doing some paperwork and occasionally checking back).

People complain about everything no matter what it is. Do understand that a good portion of the community that actually plays are doing a bit of AFK grind to make it easier, removing them will get you 90% bots, and a 10% active community. There is no point in punishing those who play this way because you think they are as bad as bots.

I like the proposed random change, but I don't mind if the randoms stay as they are either, like I said earlier, it's only a slight inconvenience that randoms exist but will not change the way I play the game. I manage to complete most randoms but I'll still get sniped by the occasional Ent breaking my axe. Oh well spend 30 seconds fixing it. Back to woodcutting.
