Jagex is lying to you

I don't think I've ever been this concerned by a reskin of an already existing update. Jagex is clearly lying to us, making the game grindier and more tedious than it needs to be. The game is already more than profitable. Stop misleading and milking players while disturbing the balance. Listen to your community.

My boy Protoxx is serious; he didnt tell me to sit back and a relax with a cup of tea and to enjoy. Jagex done fucked up now.

[MPolo]

thanks for taking a stand for this. i totally agree that this is out of control

[stueygewy]

I didn’t even sit back and relax for this one. I grabbed my cup of tea and angrily sipped it.

[funkguylorz]

Ridiculous. Higher ups just ruined all the good will they developed with the players this year in one single update to satiate their greed.

[benevolentfather]

personally im impressed at how fast jagex was able to kill the necro hype

[BulletSmoothie]

Jagex saw the necromancy hype and said oh no they're having fun

[Dzone]

Jagex has done some shady ass things before but this might take the cake

[Absquatulationist]

I think when they said that daily-scape is less important, they just meant it in that you can just spend money to get the stuff now instead of playing every day.

[freshairkaboom]

You know shit's going down when Protoxx doesn't tell you to grab a cuppa tea, sit back, relax and enjoy.

[genhgiskahn]

I love how they say unlock 100's of unique rewards in the mobile popup but it's just like 6 items reskinned over and over till you hit 100

[MaikeruRS]

YAY
Can't wait to play for 500 hours just to get level 120

[thrls]

This is for sure EOC 2.0, mass exodus of players if they don't make it 5-10x faster to max out.

The absolute spit in the face.

"You don't like training a skill? You use daily challenges to slowly progress? Too bad, that's gone. Give us your credit card if you wanna get the 15% XP boost."

There is absolutely no point in trying to complete the pass by playing, you'll end up finishing 85 days in and get the maxed benefits for 5 days before they hit you with the next pass and you've gotta start over.

This smells like predatory mobile games, where you either give $200 or spend 1000 hours to complete it...in fact, that's kind of accurate, not even a euphemism at this point.

Jagex, if you're reading this: value people's time. We are people, we are not slaves to you or the game. You push people hard enough and they will never come back.

[KrityaYT]

This update brought 2018 Jagex out of its shell. Here's hoping they actually listen this time.

[Barrowium]

Big props to you for taking a stand and calling out Jagex for this.

[beatlife]

I appreciate protoxx having the nerve to call out a company for bad practices that gave him an all expenses paid trip to their hq to test out unreleased content not even that long ago 😂

[cheekyjebus]

People with very limited time during the week who logged on just for daily challenges are going to stop logging on all together. That might not be a huge part of the player base but it's going to have an unintended effect in the long run.

[kjax]

We all saw this coming. If you just afk 1-99lvl it’ll take you 50 days if you play 8 hrs a day. Have fun guys. This is strictly just a predatory BP

Edit: this is without doing any dailies or challenges. Still INSANE! You haven’t even touched getting to 99-120 and the xp goes up from 1k to 3k at 99 for just 1 level

[DeepNerf]

I'm sure Jagex is super excited that the necromancy ritual XP nerf has been largely ignored since it dropped the same time as the major game changing hero pass.

[OidhcheMhath]

"Yo, we heard you don't like FOMO and dailyscape, so we're reducing FOMO and dailyscape by making dailies slower and less rewarding, so you quit and don't have to worry about FOMO and dailyscape".

What a ride with Jagex.
