- Dropping items now resets your current skilling action.
What's the purpose of this?
I saw the Charr complain about it so I tested powerfishing manta rays and powermining rune essences before the update and now tested it after the update to see what the supposed difference is. It certainly makes powerfishing manta rays really annoying due to having to wait for full inventory before starting to drop the fish or else I'd be punishing myself having to restart fishing every few seconds.
Powermining rune essences doesn't really feel like there's much of a difference.
However if the supposed abuse this was meant to prevent was botting then wouldn't one just take the ghostmouse thing and just add a "click on the object", "wait 10-15 seconds" or "check the bottom of inventory for the items that are being collected" and then continue with the exact same bot? I mean if I was a botting person then that's how I'd do it, I can't imagine that someone, who is botting, wouldn't immediately think of the same solution.
So in the end this has no effect on bots (and I mean no effect, as a bot could probably drop whole inventory without losing precious ticks) and can be really annoying for those, who don't bot.
I now tried powermining coals as well to get an idea of what it feels like with things that only give resources once and I'd say that it's moderately annoying, worse than rune essences but only barely, but fishing high level fish is just horrible right now though.
If the update was meant to target people powermining rune essences by spam clicking the first inventory slot, then you could instead make the character stop mining rune essences after 28 rune essences and remove the drop cancel thing. That way people who are powermining and spamclick first inventory slot would still have to restart and no one else would be harmed by it.
Guardian angel tickets and double xp scrolls can now be bought on ironman accounts from the Grand Exchange.
What is this? Does that mean that they can trade them as well or only buy em on GE? Sounds good if it's GE only, but is it?
