Now that Shauny is a normal person he has to get upvotes on reddit for his ideas just like everyone else. You must achieve at least 500 votes for a jmod to see this. Good luck.

Jokes aside, good ideas!

Do I win now?

I expect so. Can make a note to investigate.

What if you made them all give no xp

That would still run all the NPC death script for you and wouldn't solve the problem

This meme has always confused me because I'm pretty sure it's a "thing" for every large company ever. There's always people coming and going. That's career advancement 101.

So maybe it's a thing because Jagex has encouraged their employees to have a public face, and as such, when they leave it's also a public matter. And as a result everyone instantly knows the comings and goings of a company.

Then I wonder what Jagex's takeaway is. Don't be as public anymore? No one will know someone leaves if that someone doesn't have a public face. I hope this doesn't result in Jagex going back to the black box of it's previous life with employees never talking to their community.

I think this is the thing. We don't want to change our approach - we want our staff to be as community-facing as possible, because we think it's a really healthy thing to have that level of interaction throughout the company with you all (whether it's a Twitter or Reddit account, or appearing on livestreams, or being at RuneFest).

As you highlight though, it can be a rod for our own back - because the more public-facing you are, the more impact it has when you announce you're taking on a new challenge and seeking pastures new.

I personally think the fact we've had so many staff hit 5, 10, and even 15 years at the company is a real positive (I'm nearly at 6 years myself, which seems crazy). General staff retention in the gaming industry is pretty low - and, of course, it's a shame when people leave - but personal circumstances change, other career opportunities arise, and all manner of other things. Hopefully you can see though that a lot of the staff who do leave do...

In the last week I've really got hooked on Clues in RS, from doing them I've ran into some annoyances and it turns out that other frequent clue people have!

The awesome people from Clue Chasers created this massive list of suggestions for Clues and I thought it was worth posting it here, so hopefully it gets traction and so Jmods at least see it and can consider maybe doing any of them!

This is very wordy, but shows how much more can be done to make Clues feel even nicer to do.

If this post is useful I may look to do one similar for PvM, let me know what you think as the clue people have done a great job :D

Yeah, that's what we're looking to stop.
