I've been playing this game for well of 12 years at this point. It's ignorant to expect new methods of training to not be released over time. Do you just want time to stagnate and only have OP bosses added to the game that crash all the money making skills. Ie: Zulrah. 2007scape is a lot easier than 2004scape was, which was easier than 2002scape was. New updates brings better exp methods. RS3 is also more based on high level content and bossing, where bosses actually have real mechanics to kill which is something new since I stated playing so many years ago.
Big chinchompa is mediocre at best exp, warbands is a pvp minigame to keep activity in the game, guthix butterflies are a once a year promotion and aren't even that strong. The point is you complain about EASYSCAPE AFK while you guys actively vote in new ways to afk without an issue. Kind of funny, isn't it. I've played both.
Comparing NMZ to hellhounds is so fucking hilarious it hurts. It's hard to go to sleep and afk something when it loses aggro after a short period of time and you have to manage your prayer.
Also, complaining about EASYSCAPE while being on a botting site is about as hypocritical as you can be.
Yes to new methods of training. No to a cheap version of WoW. It's ignorant to neglect the specifics regarding training. Are e.g Seren stones a new way of training? Yes they are. Does that mean that they're good? Absolutely no, unless you find pride in lvling up cheaply. New updates doesn't necessarily bring better xp methods, although they
might do. That doesn't mean that they should kill a game for every sense of achievement there is.
At least 07 has some OP bosses compared to EoC bosses where you can SS and camp 95% of the bosses. Zulrah hasn't had such a huge impact as EoC did, and it is actually worth doing. What happened to the prices of GWD items in RS3? Can you honestly tell me that it is worth doing anymore, save for Nex?
Big Chinchompa is free and easy xp every day. If you add divine locations then you'd get 20k+ xp, also completely free xp. Warbands are 300k+ xp if you do all 3. You can literally buy 25 supplies for 1,5m-2m and lvl up your skills even further. I forgot to mention Guthixian Cache, however, the point here is that you can lvl/gain xp without putting any effort into your skills. In your eyes, are these updates any good? Not to mention 2x weekend...
Your years of experience doesn't mean nothing, neither does mine. I started playing in 02 (with breaks here and there of course). The thing that annoys me the most in terms of these new implementations are the fact that every skill that I personally (no bots) spent hours, if not days, grinding suddenly became EASY as hell to lvl up. This is my main complaint. I don't mind new updates as long as they don't make every skill 100x easier, like EoC did.
You take this single aspect of NMZ (which I assume is Guthan's) and turn the whole minigame to AFK. You
can AFK with Guthan's, but that's 50k xp/h in Defence ONLY as every other option is shared xp. If you want more xp then you'd have to overload which is obviously not AFK. However, with Guthan's on EoC you can semi-AFK with at least 2x xp compared to NMZ Guthan's. Also, I think Jagex are planning on nerfing Guthan's AFK. I read something regarding this matter somewhere, but I am too lazy to dig it up.
FYI, I have 2500+ total lvl on RS3 and I do actually use revolution.
