Bury all bones is now bury all bones except dinosaur bones. Harvest all herbs is now harvest all herbs except arbuck. Complete a task from each slayer master consecutively is now complete a task from each slayer master consecutively except Laniakea. And so on...

Bonus: if you can't have an achievement to find all 60 zygomites because you can only list up to 30 items, then separate the achievement in two and call them part I and part II or something.

We agree.

However, currently due to the way the highscore tables work, new additions to these achievements can cause issues.

The only current workaround (without working on that specific system to change how it functions right now) would be to make all of these achievements be worth zero runescore. That way we don't have to care about adding things to them and subtracting earned runescore off of players.

No, it's only because our highscore tables don't do well at subtracting from the total.

I'm more than happy to either subtract runescore or make new meta achievements. I'm just explaining that due to the high scores, we currently try not to (some have slipped by).

The issue isn't one of player outrage, it's a technical issue as I understand it.

Pretty much :)

If some have slipped by and worked just fine, could we poll users or users with X+ RuneScore if they'd prefer consistency with an occasional minor blip on hiscores vs inconsistency? Whenever additions to these Achievements occur, they are usually/always accompanied by new Achievements that cause a shift anyways. For me, that's a lot of the fun.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding the full issue, just thought I would suggest it as it seems to fix the problem and save some development time.

They didn't work fine, they caused problems with the table! :(
