Hello,

The drops were improved over the last few days. Some monsters still need some adjustment but overall, it's better. Let me know if you believe some monsters are off and i will take a look at said monsters.

- Don't know about the drop rates because I haven't grinded any monsters yet (will do soon).
- But the thieving part is okay for me because - because I think you know why? I've seen people abusing this and needs to be fixed.

Keep it up!

Cheers,

+1000, these ridiculous drop rates of certain items from farming and other viable money building skills nerfings is what will kill any servers, the returns is just not reasonable  or enticing anymore for people to do, it's not even following rsc's drop rate and actual data. It's not going to take long for the majority of ppl to have ever increasing resentments to these atrocious grindings and a unnecessary much harder time wasting pursuit to get the things they need to continually enjoy the game.

I also love the fact that of how this covert silent update was implemented without even an announcement made nor any intention to inform players or let alone any polls to consult with players properly first whether people really want this change or not,giving me the impression that it was done deliberately to hoping the players wouldn't notice this change, quite a sneaky move, certainly lost my trust as a loyal and devoted player here.

Can already see a lower playercount at this peak time of the day when it should be 200+ at this time since last week until now with this change, which clearly says someting about this update. Might as well call this Grindscape, if the mission objective of this server is to make things harder over time for the players. This will eventually lead a steady exodus of people giving up and quit if its not fixed. People will lose patience and become ever increasingly frustrated over time.

The "lowering" player count is probably because the people who were playing illegitimately are probably not logging in to as many thievers any more.

To address it being a "shady" move. We intend on releasing notes on any changes we make, whether it be right away, or when we release our full patch notes.

We haven't denied decreasing rates and adjusting thieving. If we did and had no intentions on addressing it, then you could deem it as a "shady" move.

However, we will still look at adjusting other things, such as NPC drops etc. Please don't let such a little thing discourage you, with the communities input and suggestions, we can make adjustments that we feel would be benefical and fair.

Sorry you feel the way you do, but ultimately, we are looking out for the servers future. Having the batch system in place makes your job less  tedious and our rewards still far surpass what they do on retail RuneScape Classic.

Regards,
Pyru

You know Pyru, dont understand me wrong, I appreciate the work that whole team has made but whole community opinion is way much more important then few who are building the server.
Learn to listen community and I guarantee that you will be able to still print dollars from this server. Compare todays politics with this and maybe you will see the big picture. Start behaving like you really care. Btw non of these what people want is affecting the thing I want this server but I know that mass opinion matters the most. Polls, polls and polls if you hesitate!

We are listening to the community. While listening, we still need to take in to consideration longevity. Maybe you're misunderstanding the point, we didn't nerf thieving to benefit us, we did it as a response to the autoers (which people were complaining about), and amounts of GP coming in (which will majory affect prices for things).

It wasn't to "slap" any players in the face, or make the skill useless or unbearable, but to help balance things out better. There are still a lot of ways to make good profits in-game, thieving ins't the only way.

Thieving as you are aware is a skill that allows you to instantly obtain GP, having it batched with little to no delays, and having reward amounts in upwards to 5x the retail RuneScape Classic amount, is just foolish for us to keep if we want to keep the economy under control (ESPECIALLY, when multiple people are using 3 - 10 thievers at once) think about the mass amounts of GP being introduced.

why don't you guys just fix people botting since whoever made the bot isn't there to update it, instead of nerfing stuff in-game that hurts legit players just as much as botters?
Or can you just not add bot protection? Curious
You're literally going to lower the rate on something that is RSC based (already slow as fuck) to something else because you can't fix a bot problem?

NVM JUST REALIZED THIS IS RSCE, #INTENDED, CAN'T STOP BOTS. KEEPS THE NUMBERS UP

LOL

we dont want it at 5x for thieving we want it at 1x, you have it at .2x
literally its a useless skill.
I suggest making thieving back to normal but not adding any type of boost.

I wish i was hired to be part of the problem. i would dedicate my time to find bot and ban them. i been playing runescape from way way way back. when i had to pay 5 dollar a month to play the member world. so trust me i know a bot when i see a bot. i can tell is a bot just by the way they move, the way they answer back. hit me up pyru if you interesting on having a bounty hunter for bot i will glady take the job. i dont want no reward, no gp, no cash, no nothing. i just want to do it for the legit player out there. i know  how hard is to level up and stuff. so i gladly take on this job.
