Why We Should Be Concerned About OSRS's Future

Two items straight off the bat. This post will probably be extended. My apologies, please try to  RS gold keep with me. Although this post is highly critical of recent modifications to RuneScape -- actual and proposed -- I wish to stress that I am thankful for all of the hard work Jagex staff have set into RuneScape. I love attempts and your passion. However, Jagex work does not obviate certain concerns I have for the near future of RuneScape. As a community we should be concerned with the slayer update that is proposed. Not just because of the upgrade itself, but what it implies to development decisions.

I believe we are at a harmful crosswords -- (a few of) the warning signals: meta-shifting Slayer updates, Ezscape, and unpolled, substantial PvP upgrades --which reflect a disconnect about where Jagex sees the future of RuneScape, and in which the gamers need RuneScape to proceed. I worry Jagex has lost sight of what OSRS is; that is about from the business that gave EOC to us. There's been backlash against the proposed Slayer upgrade Since the Reddit community knows. Criticisms have focused on a myriad of problems, but maybe the largest is that applying the 15% damage/accurate bonus of the Slayer Helmet to a boss-only Slayer Master, would be incredibly overpowered and would forcefully shift the whole PvM meta.

Rather than address this foundational issue -- that this update is too big, too meta-shifting, too much of a buff -- Jagex, at a tone-deaf reply, has concentrated on smaller"concessions" (more on this later). Jagex's approach is not malicious by any stretch, but it's an example of"dropping the forest for the trees" This update can't and should not be regarded as a collection of proposals to be viewed in vacuum.

Well, let us think foundationally: what is OSRS? OSRS is more popular than RS3, as most know. There are a lot of reasons for this, however, most fundamentally, it comes to nostalgia (for youth ); and a string of extremely unpopular changes in RS3. The latter changes include, most notably EOC, trade removals and wilderness, as well as a push towards Microtransactions, EzScape, and DailyScape. To put it differently, OSRS's achievement could be viewed as a backlash against RS3: and, more especially, a backlash against changes.

It's unsurprising, then, that at OSRS Jagex has polled lots of the alterations that are in-game that are most significant. They wish to avoid. Given the backdrop of RS3's failures, I write to remind we want updates, which do not fundamentally change RuneScape. Mind you, that doesn't mean"no new upgrades." New content is required to keep RuneScape new and individuals coming back. At the same time, people are weary of new content that lacks an old-school sense: content that is overly meta-shifting and  runescape gold 2007 overpowered. The Slayer update ventures.
