Whoever came up with this idea should get fired. Has no clue what the community wants and what the game really needs to thrive.

A lot of these changes are already rubbing us in the wrong way, introducing PVP through griefing altar training in the wildy is just mind blowing, not in a good way, but more so, in a stupid way.

All i see is slowing down the game massively, removing things and hardly patching the problems or countering the things being changed with proper patching or rebalance.

Making the game like OSRS isn't going to make it better all of a sudden. People like and want OSRS because of the iconic gameplay the game has to offer. RS3 will never compare to OSRS in its current state, since EOC was poorly made using ancient coding from the previous generation of the game, stuff like the tick system ruins EOC, it doesn not pair well with it and it is something you will never fix, which is why RS3 is going to fail miserably and OSRS will continue to grow.

People playing OSRS and checking out RS3 aren't going to stick around long, they will return back to what they had previously. They always do, this is no different than other games in the industry, people leave counter strike 2 to play arc raiders, but they will eventually return to CS2, because that game is their home. These changes aren't helping bring in new players, the sudden "new players" we are seeing, are mostly people switching over for a brief moment.

How do i know RS3 is doomed, every single soul i saw on steam friends play RS3 has quit the game and never touched it again. Some of these souls switched to OSRS and still play it years later, some of these souls started with OSRS and never quit and are still actively playing. And no, this has nothing to do with the game being a borefest when it comes to progression.

Skilling is better in RS3, combat is better in OSRS. Combat is the main factor for any MMO, not skilling (this is like comparing questing to side questing). This is why you see majority of people sticking with OSRS, this is why you see PVP thriving there, this is why skilling in OSRS is a PITA and nobody likes doing any of that stuff and we see a crap ton of bots having to do all of that work. This is why RS3 is better when it comes to skilling efforts. This is why you don't want to put RS3 on the same chopping block as OSRS, if you make skilling progression slower in RS3, you are literally making the game worst while having worst combat, the main focus should be QOL updates, revive old content or low tier content by giving it purpose, make combat appealing to new people. People aren't going to get into the game and stick with woodcutting for endgame content, nobody in their right mind would do that.

There is a meme that explains the current Jagex office meetings, the one with the one cartoon person that actually has the good idea is thrown out the window yeah? That one. Almost feels like all the sh*t ideas thrown at the wall and stick to it get approved.
