Ok, I just recently started playing again, signed up for members a month and a half ago.

 

 

 

Anyway, the release of the new minigame "Stealing Creation" is pretty much the first major release (aside from halloween) that i have witnessed.

 

 

 

I have played the game extensively and believe that the gameplay is perfect (people complain about no exp but the rewards are SUPPOSED to compensate for this!)

 

 

 

The armour had a minor glitch but nothing major.

 

 

 

the proto-tool on the other hand has a lot of short comings. a relatively expensive reward that only works as bronze for mining and wc? doesn't even give exp bonuses on some items!? and is useless for dragonhide crafting and swordfish/tuna fishing.

 

 

 

I'd expect the jagex design team to address these issues and explain a fix for them or what their intent was when they released a "skilling reward" that doesn't exactly benefit the skills you use most tools in.

 

 

 

my question is: what is the general time period for bug fixes in updates these days?? back when i played the game was a beta, they were constantly releasing bug fixes and updates at random times but usually one after another. should i expect the proto-tool function to never change? or will it be fixed at some point further down the road?

It will be fixed, but I'm sure that jagex is very busy right now. with other glitches, new updates, viruses, etc. Jagex has to watch out for all of this stuff.
