  does them adding new content somehow detract from your ability to do whatever it was you liked to do before said content was added?

  “I hate that expansions are provided at no additional cost, and also it costs too much” is kinda one of the wildest takes on the game I’ve ever heard ngl

  example 1 is from a year ago, 2 is new so it may still be a thing but likely something they’ve already dealt with and 3 is from “someone close to CVC” how on earth are you gonna take that as fact?

  from mod ayiza’s response to that 3rd one:

  "To give some context in the form of data, here are some ban stats:

  Last year we banned over 6.9 million accounts.

  So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 2,300 RuneScape accounts.

  So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 67,000 Old School RuneScape accounts.

  Of these accounts, 2,800 are for botting popular boss-related content.

  Each week, around 1.5T GP is removed from the RuneScape economy.

  Each week, around 900B GP is removed from the Old School RuneScape economy. "

  they’re playing wack-a-mole because there’s no possible way to preemptively ban bots, but they’ve done a good job of it and will continue to.

  they’ve done a really good job culling the bots in osrs, imo the biggest hurdle in it is the long boring grinds it takes to get to midgame pvm where it starts getting really really fun.

  I’d also say that if you think rs3 is the default game you are very mistaken

  osrs has been the more popular game by far for almost a decade now.

  y’all I understand there are larger issues in the world but please let’s not pretend that POC working in tech feel awesome about typing master/slave in the terminal, it’s outdated and should be changed.

  they’re called lemmy communities, and there’s plenty of interaction! honestly it reminds me of the old days on Reddit before it ballooned into the monster it is today, I legitimately prefer it in every way other than lacking the niche communities (looking at you !2007scape@lemmy.world >.>)

  you can find good political discussion in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !news@lemmy.world

  dunno if there’s any good basketball communities tho, not my bag lol
