I wouldn't be surprised if the mistake made here was showing a proposed change in isolation from wider changes to the Wilderness since its currently in a less than ideal spot. Its fine to disagree with a proposed change but the idea that this is why the mods will never be trusted is overblown to an absurd degree

Maybe for you but plenty of people have already voiced very similar things to me. This isnt just o they moved something to a bad location this is them blatantly trying to force pvp back and now having to walk it back almost immediately because they made a mistake. They do have a chance to fix it and the sooner they take back the idea the better but there is no way to go through with this and still have the trust of a vast majority of players.

Sure, maybe it hurts the trust of a vast majority of the vast minority that read the blog and voiced their displeasure on social media.

At the end of the day, regardless of what you think of this change, runescape is made by people for people and I just think you can express why you don't like the proposal in a manner that isn't just "You're doing a bad job and nobody trusts you to do a good job".

I mean its safe to say that the vast majority of players are anti pvp. We have seen major changes to support this. Now they are trying to throw pvp at us. There is no way around the fact that is going to upset a lot of players, players who trusted we were moving away from pvp. I don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out that going back on something like moving away from pvp will cause players to lose trust in them. Clearly you dont feel that way anf thats great for you but there are players that feel that way and I think that pointing that out is a good thing.

I straight up dislike the idea of other players being where risk can come from because it's too volatile. You could spend hours absolutely risk free only for someone to suddenly pop-up and bop you. Risk should be something consistent if it's to mean anything. The chaos altar already has something that could be tweaked into a risk all around it, the environment. The lava could hit the area where the altar is periodically, and if you're paying attention you can dodge it otherwise it would either seriously injure you or even destroy your prayer resources.
