I'm not entirely against GE taxes but i'm disappointed that its the ONLY thing Jagex did to counter the reduction in death costs. High Level Alching, especially from alching machines is clearly a problem that needs more looking at. They are so convenient they work when your skilling, bossing, hell they continue to process even offline! Jagex should have reduced slightly the alch values on machines. Of course some people would then convert them the old fashioned way but i doubt very much people would abandon machines entirely, they're too good. They purposely ignored the other elephant in the room and thats direct GP offered in Treasure Hunter. Shame.
