Top worst updates ever

[kolko]

With this new update to the staking business, I was wondering, what would be the worst updates Jagex ever released?

 

 

 

This one would be a part of it, splitting PC into 3 boats could be in it, and more...

 

 

 

 

 

Post your top X !

[Juader]

i believe that this is another copy thread? but imo it is the worst update.

Oh, was there one like this before? Excuse me :( .

[spooferfish]

the worst update was not by jagex. it was by people that make bots. without bots jagex wouldnt have had to do some of the things people dislike.

 

 

 

the 3k limit is because of cheaters. everyone that says they hate cheaters should understand this update. granted, people will find other ways to real-world item trade.

 

 

 

 

 

you guys want jagex to fix bots, hackers, scammers, cheaters, ect...

 

 

 

then you complain about it?

 

 

 

I'm not saying I like the 3k max gold limit. I can see where theyre coming from with it, but IMO it wont help as much as they think, and isnt needed.

 

 

 

The arena is good (when they get it working =\ ), the new fun duel or stake duel thing when challenging is a good thing. Its broken by the 3k limit. Thats all you are complaining about?

The ones you list are nowhere near the worst -- they just affect the people who are using the loopholes in the game (for training, earning money, etc.) that Jagex is trying to close.

 

 

 

For the real "worst" updates look at things like the Champion Scrolls, a series of boss battle invitations with a ridiculously low drop rate, to the extent that only a handful of players have ever reached the Champion of Champions fight. Rather a lot of coding for a payoff that to this day only a few have ever experienced.

valid point, that is mostly useless. Rewards need to be greater, or chances of getting them lower.

although you can blame the autoers for giving jagex the idea to make this decision, it is still jagex's fault for making such a rash decision.

 

 

 

I don't stake, as you know, but I believe punishing honest players to help stop RL trading is wrong.

 

 

 

Not to mention that this hardly effects RL trading. People will still find ways to RL Trade, and staking will still be ruined.

 

 

 

Honestly, I expect the update to be fixed...for the time being, stakers should prolly do something else they find fun(or maybe try the new arena)...

 

 

 

If nothing is changed, and the 3k cap remains...i think we'll be seeing many problems in game besides the fact that you can no longer stake for money.

i agree they shoudnt punish the innocent, like they are. Something needs to be done, just not this

[Hydraides]

I Don't see how Cheating is THAT much out of control

 

 

 

Theres always going to be cheats, In life and in games

 

 

 

Sure punish Cheats but don't do it to the innocent people :-$

[runescapeloser22]

Jagex is destroying Runescape so more people pay membership on Mechscape which will likely be $10/month...

 

 

 

My theory anyway, why else would they keep releasing these crap updates?

[icecube]

Lol maybe worst update for stakers, I personally could care less about the Duel Arena update, except we have tournaments now.

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

There are so few stakers compared to the overall P2P population, so it's unfair to say this was the "worst" update ever. Maybe in the eyes of a minority.

[legilgalad2]

In the war on bots and real life trading there always be casualties, its a sad fact.

 

Still doesn't mean I think its an fair decision though.

[cotamatias]

ZMI is up there, image spending two years getting 99 RC the hard way. Abyss, alone, 16k an hour. Than a new method comes out, still make some money off it, and get about 30k an hour. That makes about one year of work in vain. To me ZMI will always be the worst update in history.

[Mr_Adam]

During Tournament stakes, can you hold a tourny with only two entrants?

Following your logic, that would make RS2 the worst update in history.

[hellbellz]

The PC update really pissed off some people. :lol:

[icecube]

On another discussion thread, someone brought up that point.

 

IIRC, you can hold 2 person tourneys, with 1m stakes at max.

[Sharane]

Silly newbies... Fatigue was the worst updates in Runescape. It was also removed immediately when RS2 was released (even during beta). :P

[InsaneChef]

Fatigue wasn't that bad, accept when you forgot your sleeping bag.

[JordanGM]

This. The november 20th dueling update.

 

[bleep] you Jagex, [bleep]!#@#@!#

[Sharane]

Fatigue wasn't that bad, accept when you forgot your sleeping bag.

Fatigue is the forefather of random events today albeit being more powerful to the extent words were randomly generated hence made very difficult to crack down with your average bot. Chinese farmers on the other hand became more prominent when RS2 was released and would have had it harder to do their "job" with fatigue.

 

 

 

However it made things more tedious for everyone since even fighting took out fatigue with people having already-limited inventories forced to bring a sleeping bag and walk away from monsters when their fatigue was full.

If not fatigue, then the slew of all the filler and "make things easier" updates they've released for the last three years are the worst updates ever released, and this includes Pest Control, childification of UI, simplicity of quests and thinking with their wallets than their minds and hearts as videogamers.

 

 

 

Older players mostly like RSC not from nostalgia alone but the challenge it brought from doing a lot of activities, such as the Legends Quest where it killed off anyone whom nowadays would be whining the new quest stinks because he doesn't have the skills for them or the rune essence update which he cannot exploit anymore, irrelevant if the player is of high-level with the best equipment or not.

 

 

 

Another off-topic point: Following a guide does not make a quest easy. \

[Harrington]

I hated the mining update that forced you to rest on a bed after filling an inventory. It wasn't around for long thankfully.

[Sharane]

That's fatigue. :P

[Soma2035]

The sudden influx of "Perform-X" updates, particularly cook-x.

 

 

 

As a direct result of this, your skills became worthless. By cooking a shark, you are losing money. Players are faced with a choice: money or experience points. In the end, there is a clear division between collecting resources, and converting them into goods.

 

 

 

Magic Training Arena, week after update.

 

 

 

This was the first example of Jagex truly caving in. A new great wizard's weapon and shield, a helpful spell, and a new set of difficult to earn armor were released and would take a LOT of work to earn. Many players eagerly tackled the challenge, but thousands more took to the rants forums, [bleep]ing about how it was too hard.

 

 

 

Not only does Jagex cave in to what the whiners wanted, they also did it at the expense of people who would rather enjoy the game. While this itself wasn't such a horrid update, it is the first example of this kind of update: supporting whiners at the expense of honest, uncomplaining players.

The same issue as with democracy. The people with the most power are the people who can not be trusted to do what's right with it. Most players are low to mid level, without truly having experienced the whole of Runescape. Furthermore, it turns players against each other further, when one groups votes overwhelms another. IE: Halloween, where the high amount of F2Pers voting for the Grim Reaper's Hood greatly increased the rift between high level members and new low level nonmembers. People are sore losers and automatically scapegoat groups, and this vehemence is an anchor on the community.
