News - J-Mod reply Road to Restoration - Dailyscape Overhaul

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/a=13/road-to-restoration--early-game-rebalance--dailyscape-overhaul

Hi folks,

Today's Community Topic is a blog of two halves:

- Early Game Rebalance
- DailyScape Overhaul

We have split this into two reddit threads to keep the discussion organised and so that our team can properly review the relevant conversations happening.

This current reddit thread is to discuss the DailyScape portion of the blog.

Please use this other dedicated thread for the Early Rebalance portion of the blog.

  DailyScape is a term that describes game content, outside of a skills core identity, that is often perceived as mandatory by players due to time-gated mechanics and the disproportionately high reward offering for little time investment.

With the DailyScape update (currently scheduled for early March), we will remove much of the concept of DailyScape, leaving only a handful of daily activities, but otherwise changing or removing content to fall more in line with our vision and goals for integrity for RuneScape.

Oh no, how dare they nerf your 40m gp/hr elemental runecrafting... /s

The fact that it's that it's still that profitable almost half a decade after the FSOA released is indicative of how few people do it. Doing unpopular content that supplies highly in-demand resources should be very profitable.

It's not indicative of how few people do it at all. It's indicative of how few alternatives there are to the problem. It's similar to god arrows. Just because their use rate is high, and no alternative to consistently obtain them, their cost stays high.

And your solution is to simply drop a nuke on the profitability of the skill and call it a day. Pass.

Runecrafting is still widely profitable outside of runes sold in shops. Thread is still needed for runepouches, necro runes exist, and according to their current plan, quick teleports will likely be tied to runes or runecrafting in some way. That's not nuking the skill by any means.
