Drop rates are still shit.
XP is worse then Korean grinders.
Graphics aren't great so new players don't appeal.
Terrible Loot system IMO For any mmorpg. I Mean really, The best gear on the server cost 1.2bill.
to get this you need to.
GRind the FUCK out of the game, at least 6 months work if your a tryhard legit player. At least over a year for casual players.
Next is actually getting the gear. You have to dungeoneer for the chaotics(this is a minimum 2 week investment for a new player)
I played this game legit, got to 138, got multiple 99s, got 120 dung I raided endgame and I got the best gear on the game the hard way.
and I would never do this if i had not played runescape previously( back in classic).
Also from a PK point of view.
In runescape classic everyone pked with the same gear, made it fun as fuck because skil>gear.
Runescape now, Gear>Skill.
Just saying game is absolutely hard compared to other mmorpgs. And fun wise its became very dull for pvp.
