It's a shit game with carrot on a stick gameplay. The high skill level content is an autistic rhythm game, and the 3-5000 hour slog leading up to it could hardly be considered gameplay. The best aspect of runescape was being a child, experiencing a living video game community for the first time. That was sick, 15 years ago. It turns out that sort of thing is a novelty.

because it's boring. if you want an mmo just play xiv, faggot. no game will ever outdo it

>le click the same three pixels for literal months

Guardians of the rift is good

No mystery. Quests suck. Rs3 nerfed all my cool shit. Osrs gets rs3 shit hamfisted into it by its tranny SA neet discord userbase.
Worst of all no one fucking talks. Osrs was good for a single summer.

Early game skill grinding is fun and fast, with tons of new shit unlocked 24/7. At a certain point though, you have a choice between grinding in the same spot for weeks to get small bits of progress or repeating mini-games 24/7. Experience gain makes complete sense to get slower and slower over time, but it started to feel like you'd get stuck in one general area for 15+ levels as opposed to hopping between spots/regions constantly in early leveling.

Honestly though, the biggest thing that killed me was the limited run. I get it, it's a slower game with a deliberate movement style. Hell, you can level agility to make your run last longer. But holy shit, sometimes I just want to not take 10-15 minutes to walk across an area with my sprint being depleted within seconds. That, and leveling agility is probably one of the most boring/tedious grinds in the game.

It's a fantastic skinner box that I sunk hundreds of hours into. But eventually the grind and downtime became so immense that I started losing interest. That and a lot of the end-game combat/quests fucked with my anxiety. I like the idea of losing your shit when you fuck up, but some of the nonsense you gotta do to fight end-game encounters always kept me away.

I got the quest cape in osrs and all the new quests in rs3 are shit despite the music being pretty good.
Nobody talks in either version so community is dead. I have no idea whether to play rs3 up to while guthix sleeps or what since grinding is easy as fuck in it

I actually did stop originally because it stopped running well on my old piece of shit PC at the time HD came out. Came back in 2013 and been playing off and on since then. Mostly OSRS but been playing RS3 lately. Not bad desu but I do hate the whole world guardian shit
