Last time we took a look at what a veteran player would say on the wrong things about OSRS. Now let’s see how people reacted to his post.
RS 07 Gold: Recap
Let’s recap first what thingsthatarewrong listed in Reddit on things wrong about OSRS:
1) 6 hour afking such as nmz guthans and splashing should be taken out of the game with a 5 minute log out timer. No reason you should be able to max out while you sleep. This is a legal version of botting. This should be taken out without a poll because obviously when the majority of the community abuses it they will want to keep it in the game so they can keep abusing it.
2) A safe minigame like nmz shouldn’t give the best xp in the game. I believe you can get 100k+ melee and range xp per hour in nmz. To fix this make nmz give little to no xp.
3) Minigame teleports should be taken out as they do nothing but give free teleports around the map, even to places normally tedious to reach such as barrows. Normally to get the most runs per hour you would need to do desert treasure to get the canifis teleport then have 50 consruction and put it in your house then would have to do the quests for the shortcut to barrows. However this is completely useless as now you can teleport there free of charge. Also doing the watchtower quest for the watchtower teleport serves no purpose anymore as you can teleport closer to yanille with the nmz minigame teleport.
4) Zulrah, one of the best if not the best money makers in the game shouldn’t be a safe boss.
5) A level 72 slayer monster (skeletal wyverns) shouldn’t be one of the best money makers. Escpecially since you can max out while you sleep, so many people can access this content very easily. However if NMZ was nerfed and 6 hour afking was dealt with Wyverns would only need a slight nerf imo.
RS 2007 Gold: Replies
WeededDragon1 agreed with all of the original poster’s comments about OSRS by replying “I agree with everything, especially minigame teleports. I love the convenience of them, but it takes so much out of the game.” Actually, more people agreed to the thingthatarewrong and the sadder thing about this is they replied something about quitting or have quitted OSRS because of this. Players got really disappointed, much more when pointed out by the original poster.
Busdriverx pointed out something really good with his comment:
“Problem is that too many things are polled and the devs don’t take enough action, for example the fact that they let NMZ AFK stay in the game really is pathetic.
Of course the players will majority vote for it to stay, they are looking at it in the short term, looking for the instant gratification of achieving high stats, e.g 99 melee stats might feel like an accomplishment to some people even if they NMZ it all whilst sleeping, but what they don’t see, and what is invisible to them in the short term is how much better it would have felt to have achieved that under legit circumstances and have the gap between them and people who didn’t have those stats be bigger.
Same principle with just about everything in life, people like it to be easier because that’s just in the nature of humans for them to seek the instant gratification, they don’t want to put the work/time/effort into something because to them it’s not immediately clear how good it would feel to have achieved that under a different framework.”
It’s not too late to comment. What do you think about OSRS and are the people right about this? Let your voice be heard!
