you ask us are we experienced or a new player
if we hit experienced, let us skip the tutorial
give us a warning - are you sure? you are on your own if so.... no help......
why ask if you have no differing outcome?
yes? no?

Yes please! Give us Skippy!
There are plenty of other bot prevention methods in-game that don't work so, the least you can do is give us the ability to not have to do tutorial island.

by far almost everyone who would benefit from this is a botter or is making accounts to sell, or both
no legit player is making that many accounts and doing tutorial island so much that it's inconveniencing them

Its a quest now to do the island too

Thats not really going to change anything. Botters gunna bot and jagex is gunna ban 5000 a day with 10000 more somehow popping back in with somehow with membership
stark geyser
botters gonna bot so might as well make it a bit easier for them you're saying?
vernal mist
Not my point lol. Theyre gunna make it off tutorial island no matter if its there or not
If anything, this new membership cost hike will make less of them have membership accessibility hahaha
stark geyser
by that same logic you could say might as well start them off with all the stats and gear they need, because they're gonna get them eventually anyways
vernal mist
The points over your head lol

what's gone over is the fact that the more hoops they have to jump through, the more chances there are that they get banned - tutorial island isn't filtering every bot, it never has or will, but it's a hoop that filters some of them and makes things more difficult for them

Do i think tutorial island should be skippable? Idc, its a quest now so probably not, and it takes legit 3 minutes to do.
Are bots gunna keep going regardless of the island or not? They will, just moves their life in game by 2 minutes
stark geyser
again as you've missed it, no one was ever saying that it stops all bots

Now what would be cool is a tutorial island remodel. Maybe make it accessible by sailing as an end-game type island, so new players can run by and see the high end playerbase and the cool stuff to look forward to, instead of killing a rat
But the new guys would be caged and can only see through a gate or some sort
Imagine the opening cutscene is the tutorial island npcs fighting off dragons or krakens or something invading tutorial island, and you ‘escape to the mines’ and make bronze cannonballs to aid in repelling them before getting TPd to the mainland
Or finding fish to heal the frontline

for someone whos made 2 hardcore irons in the past few weeks, yeah its fast but my point still stands
yes it takes 5 mins
but why in the quest does it ask "are you experienced" hinting you can skip it if you are
