Appreciate the quick response. But pardon my confusion:

“When handing over the currency you’ll get to choose between xp or cold hard cash”. Sure makes it seem like the bots will also get this currency, and they’ll likely choose “cold hard cash” instead of xp right? Don’t think there’s many bots doing zalc for hiscores and cold hard cash certainly makes me think raw gp.

Have updated the blog, think something got lost in translation with some of the edits - my comment is effectively a TLDR, choice becomes 'loot I'm already getting' or 'more XP', uniques unaffected!

Why not buff other content xp instead of nerfing the xp/hr though?

Other courses are getting diary-based XP buffs to compensate, namely Pollnivneach & Rellekka.

That being said, team's not beholden to any of the changes proposed and could absoltuely dial back if it's common feedback!

Slayer - Can we have jellies added back to higher level slayer monsters too please?

Mining - if you’re improving motherlode it seems redundant to nerf the outfit pieces required for the task, it was hardly an outrageous grind to begin with. - amethyst change will be nice, thanks!

~Zalcano - any plans on tackling the bots there before dumping pure cash to them as a new reward?~ Seems the blog was adjusted for this comment

Can raise the Jellies stuff as a feedback point with the team!

Think the Diary task change is more that the number of hours you have to invest into a specific piece of content is a little out-of-line with other Hard tasks where it's usually 'get a requirement, do one reasonably quick thing'.

Love zalcano changes except offering cash. It’s one of the most disgustingly botted pieces of content in the game, surely you’ve got a plan to combat bots before pumping in loads of pure gp?

The regular loot is totally unchanged, the proposal effectively means 'get shards, trade in for the same loot you would currently get or for Mining XP - your choice'.

Thieving - Alright boost

Slayer - Great for the 0.1% of people that kill killerwatts?

Mining - All for it

The Seers course adjustment is to smooth out progression so that you're actually moving over to new courses rather than parking up at Seers for ages, and rolling out some similar Diary-based rate improvements at other courses.

Slayer is probably primarily aimed at people who are less likely to be posting on here since they're aimed at super early-game Slayer grinders and not necessarily at people who are already comfortable with the skill!

28 new prays feels like too much. This is almost the same number of prayers for a full new prayer book. By splitting up each of the god's prayers into 4, it doesn't make any 1 prayer stand out. This doesn't really give the prayers the feeling of an identity that aligns with the god. I also think the prayers should all be GM quest rewards or boss drops. They should be impactful and fill out the prayer book to 99.

That's exactly why one of the reasons we've split it up like this. Not only does that mean we can focus on balancing each Alignment individually, but take our time with where each one sits and feels. I imagine the rest of the Alignments if we continue down this route will come out one and at time.

What happened to the skilling prayers that we voted for?

The survey we put out was just used to help us decide on the direction we should go in so it was never set in stone there would be Skiling Prayers. This doesn't mean we won't in the future but this is just our first pitch with these new Alignments.

I feel like these were not as creative as the ones originally offered? They all seem more boring.

What do you think is the key difference between the ones we've pitched and the OG idea?

As long as there are prayers affecting allies I will vote no.

Why is that? I'm genuinely curious.

If they're all going to be combat orientated, it'll be a hard no from me regardless. I can understand some alignments will be purely offensive, e.g. Zamorak/Zaros/Bandos. But in the example you gave for Guthix, surely that'd be the alignment to focus on more skilling based alignments?

What would you like to see from Skilling? I dunno if you had any thoughts on specifics or moreso just a general opinion?

I like it but it seems scary at the same time.

Thanks! I think it would be naive not to be a little bit scared, but hopefully these early conversations can provide enough feedback and discussions to make them the best they can be!

I feel like the Seren prayers should ideally be unlocked by a short additional quest. The area around Gwenith is not utilized at all right now, and there's even an unused shrine just east of it, which feels like it would be perfect. Nothing too involved, just a short and sweet miniquest to give some lore.

Out of interest, is this for all of them or just a couple?

Hey u/Arcaluck,

Unfortunately, the advice you've received from others is correct, with a Jagex account, there is no manual way to recover it.

In order to have had your email account changed, hijackers would have had to have been able to log in by entering the Jagex account email and password, and authenticating their login via the e-mail.

This suggests to me that your e-mail address itself is compromised, so I would highly suggest ...

Hey u/tasius

Sorry to hear this has happened - hopefully we can get your account properly secured for you now you're back on the account.

Without access to your account, I can't say for sure how the hijackers gained access, but if a hijacker has accessed your account, then the hijack could only be for one of the following reasons:

  • They have significant information about your account which allowed them to recover it and register their own email - upgrading to a Jagex Account will remove the ability to recover your account through the legacy recovery system
  • They have access to your email
  • You've unwillingly provided your login info + authenticator TOTP (phishing/keylogging by the hijacker)
  • You've willingly provided your login info to someone
  • Yo...

Hey u/Be-Nice-To-Redditors,

I can't guarantee that we'll be able to help, but can you please submit a ticket here for us to take a look at?

Assuming that I managed to locate the correct account, it looks like the account was banned for macroing at Vyres.

I'm not available to really check further, so whether that's due to the account being hijacked, sold or account shared with someone who macro'd I wouldn't know.

I definitely would have been updating my account security the minute I'd seen I was banned though. First thought should always be to secure your account.

Thanks for raising this to us.

Nothing has changed in regards to your data or rights. The update today introduced a new footer (allowing residents of certain US states to opt-out of the sharing of their data with our marketing partners) and link to our Privacy Policy which is a requirement for compliance with the California Privacy Rights Act, which we need to operate within the USA.

Similar rights exist under the General Data Protection Regulation and/or E-privacy laws and have always been a part of our existing Privacy Policy. Previously though, there was no requirement to explicitly link the opt-out on our title screen – this has now changed.
