I liked weekly updates and never thought they were silly

the grace of the elves does seem slower to access the rare drop list then first days out.

why is a diamond,((( just one))) on the rare drop list? it is kinda a common item and weird it shows up so frequently along with yew logs, i played through 500 porters and a couple hundred more in my inventory with the grace of the elves and after several hours only made around 2 million gold at the fishing hub place for what is it sail fish i was doing i guess.

I don't know why rune items a single item is on the rare drop list either, it is just common stuff we can make ourselves, nothing rare about it with the infrequent drops from the grace of the elves to get one rune sword or plate body. going to have to be a lot of drops to make up the cost of grace of elves with the chintzy drops the rare drop list is spitting out.

I'm fine with Blackwing's posts and his concerns of us not receiving actual game updates all year long. We are in a war with the way you are programming your game and us interacting within. He has good reasoning and a lot of support. We want adventure, a product that is fun to play. Maybe I've played this game too long, I'm unsure what it is exactly, but I don't seem to have fun anymore playing this game.

Part of it could be on me, as I am not a raids person, the magister, telos, solak, ed1-3.... kinda stopped bossing after regular Nex back in 2012.... Could have something to do that I was never fond of the action bar.

You'd have to be blind not to have noticed the drop in quality and quantity of updates since MTX took over. More MTX seems to make Jagex think mainly MTX updates and XP giveaways will satisfy players, but players don't see it that way, and that is why OSRS with regular game updates and a combat system easy to learn and understand is gaining players, while RS3 with very few game updates and a lot of MTX, XP giveaways, and a hard to understand combat system is not gaining so many players.

Sometimes I wish jagex would forget about MTX and XP giveaways and concentrate on making fun and profitable content where players can earn GP and items that are useful, and interact with the environment more.

Remember when you could search crates and find things in them? Remember when trees could be chopped and not just looked at? Remember when doors could be opened and closed, and ladders climbed? Remember when you could kill NPCs and not just talk to them or look at them? Remember when you actually had to earn your levels and couldn't 'just buy them?

Remember when you could look forward to a new quest at least every couple of months, and when most content wasn't all ridiculously hard and not fun at all boss monsters?

Its a very different game we have today. Hi.

The Gowers brothers made content based on it being fun content they would want to play, not based on how much time it took to make or how expensive it was to make. And somehow they made quality content that was fun on a regular basis without it breaking the budget. Why can't Jagex do that today? Hi.

There must have been a hidden nerf to the proc rates for Grace of the Elves, why not include this in the patch notes??

Excluding things from patch notes just make it extremely annoying for players who have to find this out on their own.

We're already doing enough QA work as it is, please just save people the trouble in the future. Honestly, this is likely just RNG, during the last weekend I was constantly skilling and sometimes I'd get 5-6 spirits in 10 minutes, other times I'd get none in over 2 hours. Doing the same thing, with the same gear, aura, everything. Pure RNG, nothing more, nothing less.

Well, that covers my main complaints at least...the mining/smithing world related reshuffle literally the month before the M&S rework is meant to go live still seems silly to me though.

I really like the patch notes this week ty. I'm still dreaming of that bank in Port Sarim but oh well.

There is one patch that might improve the game in the future: Pls make the trading area around the well in Ardy grief free zone. Currently ppl place banners, clan vex, marker plants etc in the area which makes player to player trading difficult in the already busy space.

Nope, Mod Shauny confirmed its just rng.

From a reddit post asking about it:

I can confirm to you we haven’t touched the drop rate whatsoever

Source: I go over each patch note when writing them and check to see if we’ve missed anything

What you’re seeing is just bad RNG I went 2 hours without a spirit before it just happens :(
