Probably more of us left than you'd think. Never mind that games without microtransactions basically aren't a thing anymore.

I thought divination was actually less tedious than fishing, personally.

Tried that, got early EoC and years worth of patches out of it.

It's probably the best show piece ever, then, because it does everything that every other cape does. There's such a huge gap between it and the max cape that it's not even funny.

Because why not

...That might actually explain why so many recent comp requirements have felt like they were tacked on at the last minute :v Still, I think what she's trying to get at is that there are features that are pretty clearly aimed at the prestige crowd; but she's missing the fact that a lot of that same group hates it because it's usually pretty pointless and grindy, and a lot of the time there's other stuff to make up for it for everyone that can access it. That's mostly the problem in this update, for example: there's really not much reason for fish eggs to be so rare, and it's a problem because the core of the update is collecting fish eggs. Compare it to something like Elder Chronicles, which aren't a requirement for people that want to make use of elder energy products. Still, a lot of them feel kind of pointless. I get that the point of the cape is to show that you've done everything, but there is quite a lot of content that the average player is really only going to touch because it's a comp requirement, rather than out of any merit of its own. Which kind of suggests that it's less about comp requirements and more about padding and life support as a major part of the current update system.

I was under the impression that compers hated that sort of content as much as the rest of us, with the exception of maybe the exrrtreme minority that argued in favor of the CW requirement. also is this what I sound like during comp discussions? good god why did nobody tell me I would have stopped ;-;

I suppose refunds are out of the question, then? Not sure if I want to quest anymore if this is going to be the norm.

But... it kind of is irrelevant. Creativity is all well and good, but dragon just does not have the performance to back it up. The damage and accuracy are just not good enough. Just don't paint it as an issue of creativity when it has nothing to do with creativity and everything to do with percormance. That isn't even what creativity is, and it's kind of insulting that you're trying to deflect it like that

*Alg casually walks in and kicks a puppy into the number, knocking it down to 568, before gleefully tapdancing past the moral event horizon* Next step, robbing a train carrying medicine for starving orphans~!

The problem isn't that it's a shortsword, since those are actually pretty okay now, it's that it's a dragon weapon and (like the warhammer) they kind of missed the perfect time to add it by a good 10 years.

You think hitting me with a hammer will stop this? You're too late! Soon I will be invincible! Mwahaha! 548.

534 Damn it villains, you had one job! Wait that job is to lose to the heroes Never mind carry on

And he never said what was in the pipe, did he?

I can't kelp but think that the big part that everyone's missing is that it's 3 hours per egg at fishing spots that even players working toward 99 would have no reason to visit. The fact that you're asking compers to sit at rainbow fish for 3 hours for absolutely no benefit other than letting them keep their capes... Rocktails, monks, ans leaping fish? Sure. Maybe the traditional food fish too. But the rest is stuff I probably wouldn't have touched even before 99

The sad part is that there are some pretty cool things with it, but it's all held back by the usual pointlessly grindy comp requirement stuff. Also yeah the building items can die in a fire

I know it's Internet Explorer, but isn't that a bit harsh?
