>>743230730
RS3 is if you want to play an actual video game
OSRS just acts as a central judging system for the competition of "which autist can suffer the most high intensity tedium for the longest"
>>
>>743230253
Good, I haven't played RS3 but every new skill since Slayer (included) was a mistake and needs a rework.
>>
>>743230840
RS3 has been really good at reworking content for the better. There's no one on the sidelines going
>you can't adjust the things that invalidates doing X and increase the rewards for doing X, because my Shitter Sharter Tilelocked Ultimate Hardsoftcore Perma-Ultra-Pure Pooperscooperman Account that I pay an additional $15/mo for needs that drop, especially since I already spent 9 months straight grinding Cum Collecting in the Ballbusterlands to avoid needing to get a single pip of XP in that skill
or
>uh, sorry, but you can't actually make the process of leveling up that skill fun and rewarding, because while that method is still ultimately slower than using super optimal sub-tick manip skilling that requires you to click the same spots for 40 hours to get to 99, the fact that it's fun means people will actually want to do it, which makes it ezscape because all that matters is how boring it is
So a ton of the updates really are just about making the entire game viable, fun, and rewarding to do. Really healthy ecosystem overall.

nobody bro even osrs is dead only kept alive by the dev run bots and money laundering and addicts
i hop on for a bond or 3 a year to play for nostalgia but they just keep shitting all over the game
stuff like varlamore was fun tho
worst is dead pvp
ironman pandering and the garbage sweat content like combat tasks and inferno

Nah. The whole thing with treasure hunter is just pearl clutching by OSRS players.

The only reward from MTX that would "spoil" things is the direct XP drops from Lamps, but I swear no one actually looks at the values. With how many fucking bonuses you get in the game, even the biggest lamps often only shave off like a few minutes of skilling at most. You'd have to be constantly swiping your card for hundreds of dollars during the best multi-chest promotions of the year to get anywhere close to a significant amount of XP from Treasure Hunter, only to still end up way behind everyone else because you're not getting the skilling rewards in the progress that help compound your future XP even further.

Really the people complaining about it show a patent misunderstanding for what kind of game RS3 is, what the priority is when you're playing it, and all the different systems at play. Treasure Hunter basically just to be a small login bonus for noobs to help kickstart them along in a pretty soft capacity.

Not to mention Bonds continue to exist and make total frauds of any processing skills + enables a lot of skips with gearing up that also ends up fucking the economy because those membership days go right into a bot farm's pocket, but OSRS players seem juuuuuuuuust fine with that.

I don't think jagex has ever gave a fuck about the first one but it blew my mind when they recently nerfed that mining method because of literally this. Just insane.

Neat. I know RS3 never got the big Construction update Old School got so there was actually less to the skill when I tried the game a while back.

They actually have a page that lists the number of bots that are online in OSRS right now. According to it:

There's about 87,000 bots online

As you can tell I really like dungeoneering.

Main sucks, lol. "Just liquidate every item you get to buy bonds, bro!" Genuinely soulless. You wonder why people play iron? Because random item drops actually mean something. We have no incentive to just turn it into GP instantly. Ironman won.
>>
>>743242597
In fact, I have multiple irons. Iron is so much better than main that I can play it multiple times over.

I can't even stomach main. GIM also sucks.
>>
>>743242597

If you make a new iron in rs3 now you're gonna struggle hell of a lot more with supplies than if you made your account like 5+ years ago and got unlimited supplies from overpowered shit that has since been nerfed/removed

Self imposing bronzeman mode is the funnest shit to me and I think is the bonafide best way to play either RS.
It's like ironman but you're allowed to trade something if you've unlocked it the normal way. So you don't end up needing to spend hours clicking rocks for your processing skill training and you get the satisfaction of working up the gear tree.
>>
I would argue bronzeman is not good in RS3. You will constantly be asking why you aren't playing actual ironman.

Also, the economy is literally so bad in RS3 that in a way ironman is genuinely easier. Like, the RS3 economy is BAAAAD. People never mention how bad it really is. Most shit simply does not buy or sell anymore due to the low playerbase. It's a legitimate issue and at some point iron genuinely becomes the more sensible option.

But if you want to play boring main, be my guest. I just do not find it fun.
>>
To be honest I don't think I like this player owned house rework. I think I'm finally starting to re-learn the appeal of OSRS. Less is more. The more stuff they give us, the more I realize it is usually surface level slop. Like this rework! Who actually wanted to customize their house?

I miss the Gower vision. I'm finna go play 2004scape.

Am I just now realizing that RS3 is actually shit? Jesus christ...maybe it's time to start up OSRS for real this time.

It's cool, but it's also 10+ years late.
Homesteads (group housing) should have been a thing years ago.
Seems like nu-Jagex have been studying GW2 and want to make RS3 more social.
>>
IDK bro it's so fucking complicated. RuneScape 3 ain't bad at all. Prob a solid 7/10 across the board. But Jagex is genuinely such a trash company that you really will question why you even play at all.

Honestly, just let me double log on the same account across RS3 and OSRS and I'd probably never complain again.

People love the RS3 vs OSRS ie RS3 is better than OSRS or OSRS is better than RS3. Truth be told both games are incredibly unique within the MMO-sphere and even just as games that they both have a lot to offer.

In fact, RS is so unique that even preservation servers like 2004scape/Lost City are incredibly unique and probably even worth playing. But IDK if I'd ever play a live private server. You can host it singleplayer and change the XP rates which is probably what I'd do. Imagine engaging in the humiliation ritual known as private server staff.

The way osrs updates cater to irons is actually disgusting, I took a break between 2019-2025 to play rs3 and rs3 just makes helmie life harder with every update, while after going back to osrs to check out what had happened I couldn't fucking believe it

Are you just ignoring the fact that only ~0.1-1% of players actually play RS with complete focus?

>>
>>743252842
Wait until you find out RuneScape is largely singleplayer. Mains are almost irons but they aren't. Irons are.

But seriously ironman is the way I enjoy to play the game. I'm probably one of the few people who actually like going dry on drops. Makes the game more rewarding.
>>
>>743230253
not paying 20$ for this shit
>>
>>743259428
It's like $130 a year, which admittedly is too much. For $130 I'd prob just play OSRS. Membership is shared anyway. For $100 a year it was already too expensive desu.

Now is that really a lot of money per year? No, not really. But you do have to remember you only get ONE character. They don't even throw you a bone by letting you play a 2nd character as a member.

And it's for this reason that most people should probably just be playing a main. You can easily grind bonds as a member on a main and never pay IRL money. And it is feasible to do this if you do raids.

I do think ironman is a better mode overall but you're prob gonna want to pay real cash. Or play a main so much that you can fund an iron with bonds.

Or just pay irl money for all the characters you want but I think only retards give a billion dollar corp hundreds of dollars a year for pixels.
>>
RS3 is so fucking dead. I'll be honest IDK why I've held on for so long. It's always been a dead game and probably always will be. In fact, the player count is at an all time low. You really have to wonder if the game will even be around by 2030.

This is your opportunity to finally understand one of the reasons why GE and auction houses ruin MMOs and why many people are against it.

Since GE allows you to instantly convert everything into coins and instantly get anything with coins, it reduces every single item in the game into their gold value and you stop seeing them as resources, everything is just interchangeable piles of coins. Without GE there is friction to trading, it's not worth trading every trinket you find or immediately buy every item you need, so you'll end up being more strategic about what you buy/sell and when and even what items are worth looting.
>>
>>743264101
I played lost city during p2p release and while the game obviously has no ge, items were still interchangeable with gp and trading was effortless. Guess why? Because lost city has the same kind of quick and intuitive marketplace that zybez had when osrs launched. This isn't 2005 anymore, stop nostalgiafagging and come back to reality (of 13 years ago)
>>
>>743235727
Same. Every time I think of going back to try RS3 I'm just put off by how much baggage the game has. It really needs a fresh start for everyone.
>>
>>743264418
You are absolutely delusional if you think there's no difference between pressing a button in an UI to immediately get your stuff for an optimal price, and going to some third party website to compare prices and look for someone with compatible trade and is online at the same time as you and PMing them about the trade and waiting for them to finish their business and then going to an in-game location to meet them every time you want to trade anything.
>>
>>743264706
So you didn't play osrs at launch (or at least had no wealth to trade) and didn't experience lost city either, gotcha
>>
>>743264760
All I'm hearing is "yes I am delusional and coping".
>>
>>743264863
And all I'm hearing is I'm correct in my assumption, may you seethe in peace dear tourist

Take me back to 2011 runescape. RS3 us so dead now and it is sad.
>>
>>743235783
i loving seeing the monthly report of this. the "bot wealth confiscated" is great to see. imagine if we had someone protecting the irl economy like this
>>
If you unironically bot RS3 you must live a sad sad life. This game is barely worth playing legitimately let alone botting it.
>>
The biggest problem with RS3 is that it's just soulless. The 3 best examples of this are the fact that you regenerate all your health when you go to a bank, the fact that all the miscellaneous tools were removed (you basically always have a tinderbox and chisel and hammer and everything on you), and the fact that all equipment for all combat types have been turned into monotonous all-encompassing linear tiers with no variation or hybrid items. The excessively elaborate gaudy WoW art style doesn't help.

They've made too many changes that makes the game feel very mobile gamey, less like a sandbox fantasy world.

>>743259112
The discussion on mains and irons really is just a dickmeasuring contest for insecure people who need external validation from their own "tribe" that they are playing the game right way. In reality the only thing that matters is if you are spending time in a way that feels rewarding to you in some way.

Only real advantage irons have is that their gamemode is very simple to explain just by saying "ironman" compared to having to write a paragraph of "i'm not like the other mains" horse shit.
