Power to the players, overpowered?

Was it a good move to give players this much power?

Are the players themselves ruining the game they play?

Where are the boundaries?

Sooner or later the game will be un-enjoyable in the sense that a large majority of the players will have completed the game. Most players have the mentality of "Easier is better", making the competition of polls oblivious. These polls don't help the game at all. These ease of access options, makes the game easier than it already is.

There are so many players with max and completionist capes currently, just imagine in a year or two the increase in numbers. Who wants to play a game that has no challenge? It is really sad that players who think the same as me have no say because we are the minority.

Thoughts?

The game was fucked a long time ago.

They need to work on making end game content other than giving us one shitty boss every year lol. Like Nex is easy to solo at this point, KK harder but doable, normally duo.

Why i'm playing 07 atm, I realise that end game content is trash, so why play on my completed accounts lol >.<

Jagex have been notorious for pissing people off over the years with terrible updates, this allows players to pick their own updates and then can't really be too pissed off when it happens I guess.

It shouldn't take years to complete a game, that's just ridiculous. In my opinion skills are still to hard, they need to increase the total exp per hour to about 500k for all skills for the game to be fun, but hey that's just me.

Jagex were putting out updates to make the skills easier all along, so what difference does it make to let the players choose which ones are released first?

I'm not sure what they could at this point. If they add new content, it will indefinitely make certain skills easier for rewards. Just look at the heist minigame for example.

That is absurd. You should be playing private servers if you want to progress so fast.

They have an incentive to add more easier content with these polls.

Such as?

 

Such as?

To actually use the poll feature. What else can they add besides content that is already in development? They will continue to add options that will make the game easier.

I don't think people are voting on the poles because they get to pick easy content. I think people are voting on the poles because they can vote for any content.

They can ask what kind of content the players want to see developed. The pole doesn't guarantee a timeline, so they can put a pole in the field and then release the winning content 6 months later.

Jagex ruined the core game all by themselves. Power to the Players is a bit too late and even so the polls are handpicked by Jagex and just a popularity contest between the few players that are even left.

I meant that polls are generally filled with easier content to begin with, look at all the polls given for reference. I understand that players vote just to vote. Options that make the game easier as in ease of access, are generally added into the game a week after the polls are closed.

 

Would like to see more opinions on this.

500k per hour? I could get a 99 in essentially a day? NOOOOOOOOOOPE

Skills are not too hard, You're just too lazy and train inefficiently

I've maxed 2 mains now, also had maxed combat on most pures and nearly maxed a summon tank etc etc.

If you know how to play the game then it's easy, if you train inefficiently then yeah you're gonna have a bad time lol.

 

Great, another bad game update.

Silverhawk Boots. Train agility without training agility!

Jagex won't give out opitions that they don't want or won't considier. So their happy as long as everyone else is happy.

I like Power To The Players but what gets me upset is that players are choosing all the garbage options, instead of a new skill players voted for what I believe is just going to be a Tree Gnome Stronghold remake, which people will stop going to within 3 months of it's release.

Players voted for a weapon (forgot what it was called) to kill the queen in barbarian outpost instead of the other choices that would have been better, watch as the new weapon will be a remake of the egg launcher..

I could go on but I think you all get the picture, it's obvious that the players don't really know what they want.

 

[Naxious]

I think its too much, the game will be corupted the way I see it, Wildy rejunivation was only good but RS3 will be ruinned I think

 

[Manipultor]

I don't think so, giving power to the players so they can't wine about the updates, because it was their choice

 

Voting = mob rule

There are two problems with the "power to the players."

1) They are making up what is being voted on, it is just an act to make us feel included.

2) You're right, people will vote yes on everything that makes the game easier. Double xp weekend? Yes. More afk training? Yes. Better drops? Yes. Faster xp rates? Yes. More op gear? Yes. etc..

they are just tired of everyones bitching and letting everyone else have control that way when people complain like they always do they can say hey fucker you asked for it
