Idk why people constantly keep asking for boss buffs and making items harder to get. PvMing is already dead. I haven't seen people other than me in GWD for ages. There's nobody at revs apart from patrolling PKers, Ice strykewyrms are dead, nobody goes to KQ and the rest of the bosses are simply completely pointless because of the shit loot they give unless you're an ironman.
If we look back to scape, all bosses were safespottable and bandos and armadyl were dropped by banshees and cockatrices. Items had demand because of the fact they were cheap, regular casuals were able to afford them. Most players nowadays run around in full dragon because of the fact they cannot afford shit. Bandos currently costs 40x more than what it did cost back in scape, and you complain it's cheap.
Going to continue my feedback on the suggestion:
We've been stuck arguing about item sinks and boss buffs/nerfs for ages. All that time spent on arguing is wasting Thomy's time on developing new things and new content. We recently got Obsidian Dragons, which are already dead content because of the fact that the claws are too rare and the rest of the drops are freaking garbage. When you ask Thomy to make all the rest of the drops in the game rarer, you're asking Thomy to make the rest of the content in this game dead as well.
My ironman, for example, already has better equipment than average Emps player has. I can get maximum of 1 Bandos kill per trip in that equipment. Is THAT too much? A year ago when I did GWD, people in dragon armor were able to do bandos and other GWD bosses by themselves because back then the bosses weren't so ridiculously tanky. The drops also had 10x more demand because regular players could go to make money and they were actually able to afford the gear.
Let me reword your suggestion:
1. Make bosses impossible for casuals to kill. They shouldn't do anything else than kill blue dragons
2. Let's remove the safespots so the casuals will have harder time killing those blue dragons
3. And when a casual attempts to do some PvM with a group of friends, let's ensure they get absolutely nothing so they'll go back to blue dragons
4. Somehow we should sink items so the casuals will have absolutely no hope of ever acquiring that armor
Our focus should be to make the game more appealing for new players, but we've done the exact opposite for the past year.
It seems like all of you have missed the fact that GWD armor isn't even the best armor in the game. Ancient equipment offers better offensive bonuses along with cheap repair cost. Of course bandos etc. will have lower demand because the rich player base aren't even using those items anymore. The cheap prices of divine can be explained by the fact that bows are two-handed and are used much more often than crossbows are. Elysian is getting cheaper because majority of the whole game's player base won't use magic after 99 at all. Arcane is getting cheap because again, 2 handed weaponry are superior to our one-handed selection.
Then there's the barrows equipment... they got nerfed to the fucking oblivion when SOME, not even all of the sets, had a use.
