Will Capitalist Horing Be Jagex's Downfall?
I think it mentioned about me having to write an article or posting my real life picture for others to view my profile.
Don't know what's the deal, but I'll check it out later.
As for the lamps, I would of done the exact same thing as your friend did.
Monsters that are considered 'bosses' like the King Black Dragon, Tormented demons, General Graardor, and Nex should be a challenge to beat. They should be tough like Nomad is in Nomad's Requiem, if not tougher. Instead, I hear of maxed players who have little to no problem in beating the King Black Dragon. Tormented demons and General Graardor fall under the same category. Even the Spirit Beast isn't all too difficult for some players. Which leaves only Nex.
There's other areas of the game that have been made easier besides the boss fights (although the boss fights are more of a result of players gaining weaponry like Chaotics and supplies like potion flasks). The skills themselves have been made too easy.
Look at Choking Ivy, Bonfires and Runespan for instance. They made the skills they are geared towards to be made too easy and too AFKable.
Especially for Runecrafting, which was once one of the most tedious and longest 99s to obtain. Now it can be done like Fletching.
Now Jagex has made it to where a certain number of cosmetics and other 'fancy' items only obtainable through the game card promotions. I think this whole problem started with Wintumber trees, but it started to become apparent with Ornate Katanas. Now you got 'Flaming Skulls', 'Fish Masks' and all these other items that can no longer be obtained.
You miss out on them, tough luck.
Somewhere along the line, Jagex changed the game from a 'win with in game effort' to a 'pay to win formula', while offering items only made available through promotions. It's a terrible way to force members to pay a certain method while other members miss out.
Those who pay by credit cards can't get some of these offers. Those who pay by game card get the extra rewards. How can anyone justify this as being fair?
