That should have been added ages ago but we're too lazy to do so and/or simply just didn't listen to the community on what they wanted at the time.

It doesn't take 1-2 years for things like golden AoD title, clue title and golden reaper to be added to the game.

But jagex barely updates this game anymore with balanced fun lasting content that they need to do something about their declining active players and potentially player base for RS3.

So what do they do? Oh just do easy "updates" where you just make a title and say "yeah, go do this thing that you already did but we want you to do more of so you spend more time playing this game that doesn't actually get any new lasting content that often".

Doing all these things simply because it's easy, isn't actually an update as it doesn't make any new experiences, and is just for the people addicted to this game and feel like they have to get all these golden titles for feel "accomplished" in their lives.

I honestly knew this sh*t was going to happen eventually in the back of my mind when I was going for IFB and when I was 3/4 done with it they announce drop logs. So if I did want to complete logs I have to do all those kills I just did for the pet AGAIN and rely on RNG. sounds fun.

I mean, it's more a case of stuff like the titles not actually being on a team's projects.

The devs associated with those titles and curated the content are doing them off their own back because they're passionate as all hell about their content.

BTW Shauny tons of players are passionate about mahjarrat aura and the integrity of the game when are you guys going to release that aura instead of not caring about integrity?

You're making assumptions again... there's been a ton of discussions on the topic itself, we just need something concrete to tell players as we want to be absolutely sure ourselves.

Why not do them earlier? People requested clue title ON RELEASE of the clue logs being released and was met with resilience that it's too rng, too complicated, and just didn't bother.

The point of this thread is that these "updates" are things that should have happened ages ago as I saw people actively suggest and discuss with jmods about it but were met with silence and just "no". When these updates come out and are just tagged onto a "filler 3-5 niche update week" I'm not considering it an actual update at all as it should have came up ages ago.

I don't consider the jmods constantly saying "No" to player suggestions as being passionate about their content considering the players play the game A LOT MORE than the game devs. Adding a title isn't hard work to do which is why they are coming all up all the sudden.

You're correct. That was the reason we gave on release because we didn't feel there was an appropriate solution at the time - titles were generally given for completing a log and this felt like a strange exception that would be hard to explain for a new player. Try to imagine going for a title 6 months after release and not seeing the patch notes for the unlock requirement - that was one of the issues we wanted to avoid.

However, the general sentiment over the months has been there is a desire for them and so after the positive reaction to the golden praesul title it made me reconsider the conversation around this and open it up again.

There have been a huge number of positive responses and while I can't guarantee when I will work on it, it is now on my radar and I'll see what we can do to make it happen.
