jagex has been releasing more and more op promotions lately so it's obvious they want to make more money through promos.

when did anyone complain about hunter exp being too high? When did jagex say it an issue? never. its just randomly an issue now?

"base hunter is 1.2mil, you can see why that's a problem". why is that a problem? I can say the sky is blue, does that mean the sky being blue is a problem? How is it a problem? Jagex failed to explain besides just saying "it's too high". How so? Con can easily be 1-1.2mil hour, combat can be 1mil+ hour, why hunter?

If it was an issue since crystalizing traps, then why was it never an issue for the past few years that was never talked about? Everyone and their mother made videos showing how "overpowered" and high the exp is with the new spell, yet not a single comment from jagex and players were just enjoying an intended mechanic.

It wasn't intended because you didn't do proper hunting? More like no one at jagex even tests their things properly and don't own mains that actively play the game and realize annoying issues and what's fun. If it was fix'd right away when all the data is there, then I wouldn't mind it being nerfed. But it lasting that long means it was intended and you are only doing this to increase profits.

So in all, good job nerfing hunter simply because of wanting your key sales to go up. It's so easy to read that and anyone that defends them and acts like it's for any other reason are simply defending jagex because "why would a company lie" when companies are all about capitalism and they don't care about what you care about, only profits.

Instead of doing changes like grimoire pages/mahjarrat aura being re-released, you make a blog about this, something NO ONE wanted. lmfao

There is no treasure hunter or monetisation incentive or motivation for us doing this. The reasons have been explained on stream and in the news post and are 100% honest. Treasure hunter sales never even entered my mind at any point during the design or development of this.
