The reason for the Rare Fossil focus was because it was content that was put into the game, told it would get a use, and then YEARS later still hasnt been updated. Nobody expected it to be a major update and I dont think anyone is pushing for it to be one. The suggestions from reddit focused on giving them a simple, straightfoward use that wouldnt require significant dev time because its not creating anything new, its simply adjusting the values on current equipment. Not every update that Jagex implements needs to be massive and the team is right that Fossil Island is full on content. But the problem is that we are over 3 years later with no use for an item, told several times that something eventually would be and STILL being told that there isnt time in the schedule for it.
And now, with a few simple suggestions being proposed, hearing "Oh, this update isnt substantial enough" is just... so out of touch. It isnt substantial but thats EXACTLY the point, because it's infinitely more than what we currently have, and will continue to have, because nothing is going to happen for the foreseeable future. They can add something in now that isnt a permanent fix. You can add the display cases and then add the boss that you want in later. Why is this an all or nothing, we either do it perfect or not at all, decision? I think theyre overthinking it with this.
