Why? Because they made one of the most tedious, boring and grindy skills in the game more bearable and fun to train? MMO's change and get easier over time. It's called natural progression, get over it. This... I don't really play the game anymore, as I spend most of my time on RL (gf) ... I'm not even a member but Runespan is one of the updates that I've been waiting for for a long time. I'm looking forward to hear the xp rates from you guys... I'd agree that rc is ruined if it was afkable and higher xp than nromal rc but as long as people need to focus on actually playing it, I'm happy that it has a higher xp rate... i managed 124k in a timed hour prior to hotfix, id say 102k is still easily possible afking the soul wraiths and doing wizzy and all nodes over nebula on the way Quite funny that they hotfixed it, its just like flash powder factory. Jagex make a non repetitive training method and semi test it then they release it and players are smarter and figure out a method better than what Jagex thought up. This update is Cabbage rs wasnt meant for methods that dont repeat themselves every 10 seconds!!
