You correct, but so many people would rather lie to runescape 3 gold themselves that when there aren't any official MTX you can't buy achievements in RuneScape. I've played RuneScape on and off since 2004, and IMO nothing damage it more than introducing untradeable rewards. The game buy anything. At some point Jagex decided to superstar copying stuff done in MMORPGs' copycat process and that is when RuneScape started going. The culmination of the process was development of RS3 and battle.

RuneScape needs to go to its origins in this aspect. Make everything tradeable again. Imagine you can just purchase fire cape, inferno cape, chest, barrows gloves etc. gp with no other pre-requisites. So that purchasing party illegal gold isn't worthwhile, and after that you reduce the cost of the bond. You are essentially fixing every single problem simultaneously. The one problem with that is people who prefer to pretend black economy doesn't exist having their feeelings hurt. People who need untradeable achievements should only play with ironman.

Because it pays more than IRL jobs venezuelans play with OSRS for a dwelling. While very few of the players come here since it takes so long to maximum in osrs rS3 xp is very easy to get, people max and get bored and move over to osrs. Their subreddit is double sided also, and there is less incentive to bot reddit, so they've actually got a great deal of players. Because it's a trap that was carpal-tunnel I'd have jumped ship too except I can't, if I could stand the osrs grind.

Saying yes, 4m/h fletching XP is considered slow is OSRS. I like their mindset. It is so absurd. The slowest items in OSRS would be the battle abilities (except prayer), runecrafting, fishing, woodcutting and mining, ESPECIALLY exploration. Also, I'm pretty certain OSRS has more rwt and MTX (bonds) compared to RS3 with whatever it gives. RS3 has a far wider assortment of quests, a few of them being quite unique and enjoyable (except for Elemental Workshop III).

OSRS is populated because people are low levels, fresh, skillers or just bots. In regions such as the GE or any lender, most people either hang out in RS3. Because where else do you place these maxed that often times assert in there sometimes they may be out Lumby castle? You forgot that RS3 has Legacy style, but the issue doesn't lie in the port, it lies within the menus you would have to go through simply to buy 2007 runescape gold empower Legacy manner, which a retro player would have hard time.
