This is a great step in the right direction, don't want to see my favourite game destroyed by mtx and ignorance.

Ya it only cost jagex thousands of players leaving to finally understand how much players hate MTX. Granted there will still be MTX but hero pass exacerbated it a ton. Question is how much will come back after this

[SaltedWaterRS]

HUGE! It’s crazy that the community can continue to win. Every time something like this happens I feel like it could be the last time the community comes out on top. What a nice change of pace.

I feel like in the end, even though the Hero Pass was a complete diseaster, it did open Jagex's eyes on how the playerbase views the game in it's current state and what is and isn't tolerated when it comes to adding new updates to the game (even if this was purely due the negative impact it had on their financial situation and/or player count).
I'm gonna do what I haven't done in a long time and put my faith in Jagex in that they will work alongside the community to make better updates for the game and keep everyone informed of which way they want to go going forward. They simple cannot keep up with the players' needs without any input and the Hero Pass made them realize this.
I'm personally also very happy to know that the survey I filled out actually contributed to this, rather than just content creators and other big RuneScape players making all decision, as this makes me feel more like a member of the community rather than a spectator.

I'm very grateful to everyone who helped make this possible!

so if theres not another one, what are they going to replace the "gain 10 levels automatically on next hero pass" that you get at level 99??

[brentharris]

Here is what I would like to see the most in an RS update: better the bad luck mitigation system. For example, make alternate ways of getting end game content. For example, some players will never get their hands on an igneous stone because, try as they may, they cannot seem to deal with the mechanics of Zuk. So rather than make Zuk easier or skippable, make an alternate way to get the stone, perhaps just as challenging but in a different way. This would only apply to untradeable content and not drops that one could easily get rich off.

Is that the annoying pop-up stuff when you login?

[Travioliraviolii]

LOVE to see Jagex starting to listen to the community. Their previous mindset of "we know best, fuck the players feedback" was frustrating

Spectacular views and opinions. Quality Video. I loved hearing some more positivity in your voice compared to recent videos! Thanks for the video

As you say, the rewards are within the game itself. Lets see more rewarding stuff that's not centered around MTX which makes people tired of their shennanigans. Like i understand as well as many people, that the game needs to stay relevant and up to date in "some" marketing schemes etc. However, the game would benefit a whole lot more if they directed their attention to ADDING content to the game itself. I.E; Lets see a hero item as a potential reward for some more skills such as WC and maybe Mining. Let's see more progression of skilling areas and focusing on making even "dead" content relevant, areas relevant and so on. I think this way, we gain the playbase back or maintain it, and thusly a more prosperous community, they need to make RS like it was in its hayday, like 2005-pre-EOC release. They honestly should just allow us to conduct more surveys to better get across reward systemsand perhaps even bring back polls for potential new updates and give the transparency we so desperately need.

a bigger fear is what a new owner will do with the game

Congratulations! 🥳
We did it, we finally did it!
*People Power ftw!* 💯

I filled out the survey and for me hit very unpleased on everything that was available.. and where i was able to write something i explained in detail why... i am hoping that everything else that filled it out also did something similar.

Edit: This is a huge win.. but i don't think the war is over. Mtx has got to be changed to a cosmetic only system.. similar to ff14

[mehmetalemdar]

"The content should be the reward"
Words of gold

[Dismembr]

other styles should absolutely NOT be changed to be more like necromancy.
i agree with you on most takes, but this is what i've been worried about since the release of necromancy and how its different from the other styles that we've had for years.
Combat as a whole needs a rebalance yes, bosses are too easy and they don't release enough new content to outdate older content so quickly, but the way the styles work should not be touched, ability's should not be touched, just because SOME people enjoy the simplicity of necromancy.
other styles have uses for all the different basic's and giving them a standard "basic attack" like necromancy has would make them all feel just as boring as necromancy is.
people don't seem to realize that the only reason necromancy is being praised as much as it is right now is because its so strong and its allowing people who've never pvm'd before to do content they've not been able to do with other (more balanced) styles.
To me and others i've spoken with feel like necromancy as a style feels like its pulled from another game, some might not find that a bad thing, but that's why they've put it in the game, for people who prefer that type of style and how it feels, changing other styles to be more like it would to me, ruin combat in the game. I enjoy the "complexity" of the combat system, that's why I'm not a huge fan of using necromancy, since its so simple, but that's why it was a good new skill, it added a "easymode" combat style for people who prefer that style of combat in a game, but changing other styles would just be copying necromancy, and catering to people who want things to be as easy as possible.

It is be rebranded. The wheel is gone, but we have treasure hunter which functions in the same way, just a different face.

[MillsterUK]

Ending Hero Pass? It's almost like they tried this 5 years ago and players haven't forgotten; especially in a world where companies are getting bolder with their predatory money making tactics.

[ChristianDoan]

I dont understand the issue why people quit over hero pass I never did yak track or do I do the hero pass

[jamestydawg]

Yeah, once they got rid of dailies, my play time was reduced 10 fold. Now that I have not played in a while due to hero pass, I don't even feel like playing again even though they removed it...

[MiikkaKipper]

didnt actually think doing the survey would change anything wow im actually pleasantly surprised
