In light of the mtx free dxp, it has brought foward that dxp is somewhat loosing its value. It used to be once or twice a year for 1 weekend, which was then changed, to 48hrs over 10 days then to 4x a year when covid hit. I feel that now running 4x a year it’s starting to loose meaning. My suggestion is to remove atleast 2 dxps and then replace with more activity based weeks, like skilling week, clue week, bossing week etc. for skilling week buffs can include things like no porter charges used, double damage, double progress when mining or archeology more chance of 3x Dino’s in bgh etc. bossing week can bring back wars coldron, free deaths improved drop chances. Clues week can include, chance to not spawn double agents, immediately finish a clue. I feel these would have more of a positive impact then 4x dxp a year

I strongly agree with this. It would be awesome to have more variety in events [[ winter weekends ]] which have been done in some years before are a great example of possibilities

I would even say that having 1 DXP Week is ideal a year.
Realistically Summer or Winter is idealistic.

but I absolutely agree; having a Skilling Week, Combat Week, Clue Week in replacement of the other 3 would be idealistic.

I like four dxps. But also weekly events should be added as well. And it's lose not loose 😆

DXP started off as a gimmick to entice players to return. it used to be unannounced and totally random. With our current xp rates its 100% unnecessary to keep and I personally would be happy if it were phased out entirely

#

we dont need gimmicks to get players to play

id like to see them remove dxp altogether and remove lamps. bonus stars are fine because they promote players to actually play the game instead of being able to buy exp with lamps. id also like to see them completely remove treasure hunter and all of its mtx items and bring back yak track and make yak track all cosmetics and no way to buy levels in the yak trakc as well

Nah. Purchasable Bonus xp is bad. It’s just Squeal of Fortune 1.0.

#

If you want to play the game play it. We have insane xp rates without MTX. Bonus xp just gives those who can throw money at the screen access to doing half the grind

#

Unfair and bad for game health

It 100% is. Just because you “have to play” doesn’t change that fact. Stars and bonus xp cut your effective total xp needed to grind out by half. Meaning if you throw enough money at the screen you can just meet your entire 99/120 or even 200m goals twice as fast than someone who can’t. Thats not equitable or healthy for a game that’s had its player count gutted because of MTX.

#

If you want a fair and healthy game all outcomes should be inherently merit based and not because you had more disposable income

and why is this a problem out of curiousity?
How does that players actions impact you directly?

The reality is they lock Bonuses on New Skills, so the Race on new Skills are fair; and by the time that Lock is lifted the top 100 are already secured to 200m.

I am not opposed to purchasable BXP because primarily alot of the remaining players in the game are mid 30s working full time employments.
Way I personally see it Lamps are discusting, It avoids the interaction with the skill at all, but BXP still enables the player interacting with the market or interacting with the skill in order to achieve that XP to be utilized.

Having 50% reduced work towards the skill isn't any issue in my eyes, just my view I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

Depends in what you call "insane" but alot fo skills are pretty fast already at base rates at the higher levels

People are just to used to their mtx / dxp boosted rates that they forget how fast skills already are to train

Core principles of the game is earning xp and levels. You cheapen this with xp or xp boosting MTX

I'm not against it taking years to reach 200m all as casual few hours a day player

because so far, If that is something that could occur; I absolutely could support that approach.
I do however believe Bonus XP should be acquirable in game, now I don't necessarily care if its purchasable. I do however feel Quests/MTX/Mini Games shouldn't reward Lamps though. I feel Lamps are very destructive towards the game, and BXP is a better alternative to lamps.

I do however also understand Jagex has to establish a stable income to maintain their investments, and maintain growth as a Company. Therefore Am completely comfortable with Cosmetic MTX
Including...

  • Outfit Overrides
  • Weapon Overrides
  • Ability Overrides
  • Familiar Overrides
  • Conjure Overrides
  • I would also include Items such as Inverted Capes in this Category personally.
  • I would also Include Items such as Re-releasable Rares in this Category personally. (Black Phat, Green Santa, and so forth)

However Personally I disagree with Treasure Hunter as a Random Gambling method as discusting regardless. and The Only method should be Runecoins personally.

One centralized MTX currency. One centralized shop. The end

Also to add on to the cosmetic cash cow that jagex has. We have a literal ass load of cosmetics that are outdated or discontinued. Bring them back. Sell those. Also update them visually and sell those too. Now I’m not a fan of double dipping. But who cares. It’s a far better alternative than the 15 years of SoF/TH
