Hi There,

I know that I am only one person and probably this is just going to fall on deaf ears, but I am hoping and wishing that you keep the Hero's Pass. I love this update and love doing the different missions.

At the moment I am level 110 in the Hero's Pass and I love the pets that come with the higher levels.

Please can you keep the Hero's Pass for those of us who love doing it, I dont like the normal dailies and prefer the Hero Missions.

I hope you all change your minds about discontinuing it in December, that would be a very sad time for me if you discontinue it.

Ebano Lobo.

I never did mind the daily challenges - I did (and do) them, though what I prefer is the Hero Pass (as it is currently as well) to the Yak Track. Maybe it's an illusion, but Hero Pass progression seems to feel less tedious than Yak Track did - if that makes sense?

*shrugs*

Personally, I thought the major issues with Hero Pass were (for the most part) mitigated almost immediately when the skill buffs and purchases were disabled and that it could continue to run in the future just still without anything like that. Reading over the Hero Pass - Player Feedback Update #4 news article, I do understand the point made that:
Original message details are unavailable.
Hero Pass doesn't feel "RuneScapey" - it breaks my immersion and doesn't feel part of the world.

It feels like something 'bolted-on' to the game - but, then again, so does the Daily Challenge system since it was reworked 16 December 2019 and no longer required visiting a Challenge Mistress - not immersive. Yak Track wasn't immersive.

Further, on the points:
Original message details are unavailable.
This new reward system has a prominent presence in my day to day, and since it has paid features, it makes me feel I can't choose to ignore it if I want to.

Original message details are unavailable.
We would also ensure this new reward system has no paid disparity, through types of Membership or otherwise

The Yak Track did exactly those things (Premier Track) which, yes, could be enabled for anyone through the use of Bonds but someone still paid for those Bonds - they didn't just materialize.

At the end of the day, yes - Hero Pass is done after this iteration. Hopefully whatever the replacement is will prove to be a decent compromise to the good qualities that both Yak Track had and Hero Pass has to offer but without the things they both got wrong.

I'm glad I found this, I thought I was the only one who was enjoying Hero Pass.

I don't like MTX, never have and I didn't enjoy getting the points when the next levels were only for premier members. It seems to me that there should be a p2p and f2p streams and that's it.

However, I'm now on higher than level 120 so I get the emblem reward for every level and it feels more rewarding.

I'm not that bothered about cosmetics but I do like it that I have some objective every day and that it gives me some reward.
