    Mat K believes that OSRS won't do anything unconventional until the game closes down. It's time we divert from RS3 and return to the Oldschool design that made this game what it is. This is how you revolutionize PvM, skilling, and inflation with a update so simple that it balances itself

    Posted: 18 Feb 2020 08:15 AM PST

    Mat K said, in his q&a with mod shauny, that he believes the game won't do anything groundbreaking or unconventional ever again. OSRS copied RS3's path to short term success by dumping hours of resource drops into minutes of PvM. This is a quite obvious imbalance between the two parts of the game, imagine if you could only use skills like smithing to obtain the best PvM gear.

    The answer is so simple in principle that it balances itself. Remove all resource drops from PvM and then add new unique drops that enable gathering those resources faster. For example a rare shiny fishing lure from kraken that would let you catch anglerfish faster. To combat bots you could make the gathering tool tradeable, then once activated for the player it becomes untradable, so that its a big investment and item sink. You could also dramatically scale up the gathering rate with the players skills, which would weed out the short term bots and reward players for their dedication.

    At first glance you would think that this would completely devalue PvM yet it would actually breath new life into every boss. A blowpipe could be worth 50m if zulrah only dropped its uniques, bringing back the excitement of hoping for a rare drop instead of a mindless grind where every kill is the same. Question, which boss would be the best to farm? Well it would constantly change because the profit isn't based on how many alchables you get, now it would be on the value of the uniques which can always change. If too many people farm zulrah then another boss would be more profitable. Of course skilling would be worth so much more too, resulting in a steady profit that would make it worth doing instead of only a quest or diary requirement. Then think about PvP, why risk all the gear you're wearing to kill a guy for 200k when vorkath is guaranteed to drop 200k in 2 minutes time? PvP would be revived too if bossing wasn't guaranteed millions an hour.

    PvM, skilling, boss drop tables, inflation, it all would just balance itself. Because that's how it used to be.

    Roughest night I’ve had in a very long time

    Posted: 18 Feb 2020 02:48 AM PST

    Hi. I'm liven. I'm a very passionate Ironman that has spent more than I'd like to admit on my account. My account was hacked around 5 hours ago. My password was changed, and I have no way to lock the account. I tried reaching out to as many sources as I could. Discord and reddit were my two main forms of community interaction, both haven't had a good potential. I had authenticator, 2 step verification on my email, and somehow someone still managed to get on my account to change the password. I used to think it was just a meme, but I've had one of the hardest customer service experiences over the past night. Imagine being locked out of your account at 11pm, then trying to reach out and use whatever connections you have until 5am just for a chance to get your account unlocked.

    At this point, I'm tired. I'm upset, and most importantly, I'm disappointed with a community and staff I cared so much about. I hope something changes, but from what I've seen, it is an absolute mess. 5-6 hours later after being hacked, I still don't know if my account has been locked- let alone stripped of anything it has.

    I'm tired and stressed. I need some rest. I'll check back in a few hours. I can provide as much proof as necessary in screenshots or friend vouches, but this is beyond disappointing

    Edit: resolved, thank you @jagexselfie

    Edit 2: they somehow gutted my bank with a bank pin delay.

    Remove/severely reduce skilling drops from bosses

    Posted: 18 Feb 2020 08:23 AM PST

    Make skilling great again. I absolutely love skilling. Or, you know, imagine roleplaying (who does that now on RS these days, anyway?) as some kind of herbalist. Imagine haggling / making special offers since you got your supplies cheaper, so you can make the better offer, but still be rewarded for your work.

    Imagine skilling be profitable. It would make PVP more risky, too, as certain items/foods - even though they aren't worth billions, obviously - would/could be quite increased in price.
