as someone who is a end game raider in another very popular mmo (FFXIV) i can tell you that what you're saying here is absolutely right, the amount of times i tell people "you can do ultimates, all you have to do is keep pushing at it. The results will speak for itself" i play other mmos more casually so doing stuff like inferno, raids, nex, etc. this stuff sounds appealing but it's just not something i wanna do right now. I just wanna as you said "just left click and kill thing" maybe when i wanna be more serious i'll get more into this stuff and i'll be excited to do it. All around great video, and if there's anyone reading this, take everything he said to heart he's absolutely right, you can do it and i'll be on the sideline cheering you on!

Biggest introduction to late game content to me was Corrupted Gauntlet. I did regular gauntlet first try after watching some videos, but CG took me at ~30 deaths before I got my first completion and for a while after that, I was dying ~50% of the time. Now, around 400 kc in,(spooned all armour seeds & enhanced seeds, only missing pet) unless if I really really mess up, it's a guaranteed kill for me. Now my kills are not the fastest, averaging around 9-10 mins per completion (T1 armour, T3 weaps & inventory full of food), but it is the consistency of getting that kill that makes CG worth it. My CG experience started earlier this year and recently I completed my first solo TOA 350. PVM content is not easy and takes time & practice, but once you get the hang of certain mechanics used in late game PVM, it really opens up the door with what you can accomplish in OSRS. Great vid and you earned a sub now doubt!

For me, I always knew i wanted an inferal cape but i just never thought i'd be good enough to get one. Over the last 4 years of playing oldschool (after avoiding the game cos i didn't want to start from scratch again) I came to realize that I've never naturally been gifted at any piece of content when I started it. The difference between me and a lot of people who are still stuck doing god wars was I was always willing to try out new bosses and raids even if I didn't have all the requirements because if I can kind of get through it with no stats, gear and knowledge, then it will only be easier once I progress more. Just putting yourself in the deep end is the best thing you can do and know that you're not gonna swim every time and that's ok, that's all part of learning. The more times you put yourself in that position, the easier it gets because you realize it's still a game you're playing and it's not that serious. Your team mates aren't counting how many ticks you're losing, just play the game! Turns out I actually really enjoy the inferno now and am making 100 capes my long term goal for my main because I invested the time into learning it and not just being upset if I didn't hit a pb. Sometimes a win is learning something to solve a room better or a spawn etc

I think the main problem is RuneScape is one of the least intuitive games you can play. Plainly put, there isn’t anything else like it. Just to get to the halfway point in competent Pvm ability requires so much esoteric information that when you’re sitting there at the halfway point looking up at the finish line it feels like climbing a mountain after you just scaled Everest. In my opinion This whole I’m bad at RuneScape thing comes from the absolute inability this game has in producing intuitive mechanics that your natural normie brain can grasp without saturating yourself in years of information gained by trying to figure this shit out.

It wasn’t necessarily the mechanics it was the idea that if I didn’t succeed right now I have to spend another hour or so getting back to this moment all over again.

I struggle with convincing myself to jump into hard content (namely inferno and colosseum) but I forced myself into a solo 150 ToA about a week ago. I was expecting it to be unrealistically more difficult than it actually was and now I find myself wanting to push the invocation and ensure I can do them without dying. It's given me some more confidence for when I eventually start trying for my inferno cape, quiver, fang kit or whatever it is. For a long time the idea of the "sunk cost" made me avoid trying late game content. I now know that if I don't start trying to get there, I never will. A big part of it for me, as you said, was not wanting to die, whether for the cost of dying or the demotivation of it.

Good for you! I get the fear of death. People are so hyper focused on getting rewarded with loot every 2-3min with easier bosses. Then doing a raid and failing must be miserable since you aint getting shit if you fail and die. The trick is to learn to enjoy the content. Not the rewards. If your only goal is "completion" you're setting yourself for failure. If it's "I'll do better this time, I'll get further this time" you're winning. Then when you eventually got as far as to reach the completion you'll have an appreciation of the mechanics and can enjoy the eventual long-ass grind it'll take to earn your rare item drops.

Found you through the Sae Bae cast, and this couldn't have come at a better time. Lemme talk for a min - I'm grinding my inferno cape right now, I'm actually logged out before Jads. I've been to Zuk 3 times this past week, and when I first tried months ago my PB was literally wave 24 or something. I'm doing a Bowfa run, cheesing with the new regeneration pots and everything. Each Zuk death has come from healers and rangers, and just taking too much damage and not tagging efficiently. I got my first fire cape about 20 months ago, and I died 8 times before I killed Jad. As a newbie it felt like an insurmountable task, to what was essentially clicking mobs and then camping in a corner for an hour, then changing 2 prayers at a dinosaur. When I got my fire cape I screamed like a kid with joy, I was 27 years old. I still get Jad hands in my runs now, and I know this cape is coming, I'm not giving up. I still feel just as panicked now as I did for the original fight caves. The mechanics are different (and I swear the shield pathing is RNG sometimes), but it's all still 'consistent' each run. As a commenter below said, this game is just downright unintuitive. I fully believe that if we could switch prayers based on timing of projectiles hitting us instead of recognizing the attack animation cycle, thousands of new players could get their capes in a few tries. This game rewards performance of knowledge you're never taught. Going into inferno and dying because you stepped out of a pillar and got seen by a stack, running back to pillar, putting up prayers and then eating hella damage anyways after the prayer is up isn't fun. The Zuk simulator is great, and it's a real godsend for newcomers like me. The fight itself isn't hard, really. The pressure of millions of gp, 2 hours of humble wave spawns behind you however, is. In short, I love this video because so many big creators act like you suck for not gitting gud. That's fair, and we have that with every game. Most games however have tutorials, checkpoints, and intuitive damage/ hit recognition. Runescape is a game like no other, because NOBODY will pick up new content and understand the systems, because at the end of the day, Runescape is not an intuitive game. I just regurgitated everything you said, you're welcome

@@Glue_Huffer I personally completed inferno "grind"(I feel personally grind is considered when it takes more than 50 times) with bowfa within 20 attempts, in which 10kc was first Zuk fight, but I had low supplies to realistically finish it off. After that remaining attempts were just silly mistakes over me trying to get asap to Zuk, when I should have just take a deep breath and keep trying as if it was first time and pay full attention. On 20 kc, which was also a second Zuk fight, I was able to defeat Zuk with some guides and practiced in inferno trainer for Zuk fight. I wrote down a sort of action plan or protocol that I personally should follow when doing Zuk fight and that helped to maintain my focus. I would consider myself as competitive player in any games that I pick up. Once I start playing something, I try to learn all sorts of things and mechanics within the game, which makes me learn in faster pace than others. I believe that if you genuinely want to achieve something, you just simply have to take a deep breath, believe in yourself and do not become too hasty in your decisions.

I agree with a lot of your takes here. A lot of people don’t realize that you don’t need to perfect a piece of content right away to be able to complete it, you just need to practice and die a lot and that’s just part of the game, every good player has died over a thousand times and that’s not an exaggeration. A lot of people don’t truly understand how the game works which is mainly jagexs fault fr, they don’t have anything in game that really tells you the mechanics, it’s all found on the wiki or from content creators who have mastered a piece of content and don’t usually start by just explaining the basics from the ground up (shoutout gnomonkeys pvm bible if you don’t understand the basics of pvm btw) I started playing about 5 years ago now and had never played RuneScape before that and basically had to study the game for years to get to where I am now being maxed with 1k raids and 25k total boss kc and I still feel like I’m shit at the game because I’m not gm. The game has an endless skill ceiling, I mean look at some of the best pvmers like Scotty or the best pkers like 1013, to the average person it seems impossible to do what they do.

Love this video man, I always ground myself on learning new skills by remembering how frustrated I was learning to ride a bike as a young kid. Eventually I got it and I will always be able to hop on a bike and be able to ride no hands, ride on difficult tracks and so forth, no matter how long its been since i last rode. The best time I had on this game was learning Vorkath, I died every third kill or so until I gradually was doing every mechanic, eating at the right times and reacting quickly. Things I never would have thought I could do but I persisted because I knew I only had to kill this boss until I got the head for the assembler. These days I still feel the way you were describing about end game content but this helps !Also osrs is great since there is a ridiculous variety of other things I can still enjoy.

As someone who's been playing OSRS for a couple years now I really enjoyed listening to this video. I'm closing in on 2k total level and I just got my first Fire Cape 3 or so weeks ago? Don't remember exactly how long. I knew I'd be able to do it, I was definitely over leveled for it and over geared for it too. 85 range, 99 mage, I think 80 defense at the time? 80 Prayer was huge too for extending my prayer pots. Full god dhide, best avas, blowpipe with dragon darts. I watched a couple guides on it then just sent attempts, didn't want to practice in speedrun worlds. I don't learn well in controlled environments. I died to Jad 5 times and got my cape on my 6th attempt. My biggest problem was when he spawned the healers I'd stop paying attention to Jad while I tried to wrangle the healers and he'd get me off prayer. I recognized that after a couple attempts and still died to the same issue until I finally got to the point to focus on Jad rather than the healers, and on the 6th attempt when I finally got the kill I also got the deny the healers combat achievement, the biggest thing I struggled with was safely wrangling them and on the attempt I did it I absolutely crushed it.

Came back when they added Varlamore, tried out scurrius and moons of Peril and realized that actually I can do things like switch prayers and move to dodge things while still attacking and watching my hp. Got the confidence to get my fire cape and tackle GM quests. I haven't touched much of the "harder" end game pvm (starting to work on CG) or raids yet, but now i realize that it's just a matter of time investment holding me back, rather than lack of skill or PC.

There's 3 main detractors for me for even trying inferno and similar content. 1. Perceived difficulty. Similiar to what you mentioned, but I also remember watching Twitch when Inferno was released and seeing the best players in the game take multiple days to get the first ever completion. Sure updates have made the content easier, which ill kinda address later, but is that enough to bring me up to par with what Woox did? Its not really a fair comparison, but thats the thought. 2. Time investment. I don't mind the dying aspect, but if wave 63 is the hardest wave, do I really want to spend 2 hours getting there to just die? 3. The cost of gear. Sure the BowFa makes it easier now, but I don't have 200m to spend on crystal/BowFa + whatever other gear switches I'm bringing. A lot of these you addressed, and it is more mental than actually being "bad" at the game. I will say I watched the new GnomeMonkey guide right before this one, and he said 3t fishing is harder than inferno which definitely helps that mental block. I'd also like to mention my "main" account is a high ranked level 3 skiller, I have combat accounts that are high enough stats for content like inferno and solo CoX, but I doubt my PvM abilities.

I thought I would never step foot in the inferno, now I have a wave 59 pb, and still trying, I would recommend watching attykon’s First Cape Friday series, he is a much better teacher (when it comes to the inferno) and explains the inferno a lot better than gnomonkey

I used to feel this way, but one day I just snapped and started trying hard content (hard for me). After that I realized how much I can actually do with little practice and it opened the game to me. Best thing for me was learning stuff in leagues, since you get so much helpful stuff there. After that its just a matter of time that you succeed in the real game.

as someone with a BA in psychology and is severely addicted to this medieval point and click game, I think you hit the nail on the head, especially with the Dunning & Kruger effect in rs players. People will never be able to do what they want to do unless they rip the bandaid off and start chipping away at it bits at a time to learn; but the mental block stopping people from STARTing is a very very real thing... and... it doesn't have to be.

I think it’s because your goals constantly shift after achieving your last and the high doesn’t last long, and you compare yourself to others. When you get inferno you want blorva or GM, when you get either only you know your own journey, did you brute force and lose bills on orbs versus the chad who has done it on a hcim? Did I deserve the GM times at tob or did the 3 people I met on a discord dedicated to CA’s do more of the heavy lifting Not sure if this trait is uncommon and I know it’s negative but that’s how I think as I’m quite competitive and always look to improve

I might not have been able to do that if it wasn’t for advice for the waves and zuk himself, it’s not cheating, you shouldn’t be ashamed of it because it’s still hard af!

I’ve never seen your videos before but this was recommended and i have it a watch. It’s pretty good but my main issue with pvm is the lack of consistent progress, at least that I can see. I like that when I skill I can see how far along I am and how much there still is to go. With pvm encounters that I’ve gotten really into learning, I’m seeing myself progress further, deal with mechanics better, and make it closer to winning. I really struggle when it feels like I’m stalling, that every attempt is the same. It’s not the dying itself that matters but the dying without really learning anything.

Record yourself. Or just take notes, write it down. Say it aloud after a death "What I should have done is..." And then try to hyper focus that next attempt. Has worked for me in every single content there is. There are bossing ladder guides made by the community and the new Varlamore content and Scurrius are aimed to ease players into pvm. If you really think of it, a lot of content that the community gives a bad rep is actually there to teach you mechanics. Yeah they are "shit loot and not worth your time since you could always be doing colosseum for 15mil/h" if you're Tastylicious or Gnomemonkey. But... Sarachnis is a good intro to reacting to boss, switching prayers. Grotesgue guardians teach you about managing multiple foes and mechanics. Demonic gorillas teaches you about prayer and gear switching. DKS teaches managing resources. The list goes on

I am not a gamer. I didn't grow up playing video or computer games. I came to it late. I don't have gamer reactions or gamer mentality. But here are some things that I learned playing OSRS. It took me nearly 70 attempts to kill vorkath in DS2. I recorded nearly every one and rewatched them trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Did it help me? Not really. Because I didn't know what I was doing wrong so I couldn't fix what was wrong. But I had friends who were really good at Vorkath and they watched some of my attempts and gave me really good advice. So lesson 1- Having friends help you and encourage you is probably the biggest boost to achieving something you want. It took me 48 attempts to kill Galvek in DS2. It wasn't until a friend loaned me his DHCB that I was able to finally get the kill. Lesson 2- Having good equipment helps your game immensely! When I decided to get my firecape I knew this could be a months long struggle. I chose to use the speedrun worlds and I would practice the waves. Then separately I would practice Jad on the speedrun worlds. I did about 10 practice runs until I felt comfortable with the waves and I was able to kill inferno Jad. In speedrun worlds you get excellent gear and supplies which leads me to Lesson 3- It doesn't matter what your gear and supplies are like if you can't manage the mechanics of the fight you're going to die. . . A lot. I know I'm a terrible gamer. The best thing I have going for me is tenacity. But I have to give up and do something else after I die about 5 times. That's why I still have not finished DT2. That and my OSRS friends have moved on to other games and I don't have the encouragement and support I did before.

"fake it till you make it" still rings so true. it doesn't matter if the voice in your head saying "i can do this content" is sarcastic or not, the message ends up sticking around nonetheless. zulrah was my first ever difficult boss, and it seemed insurmountable at first. i died like 40x before getting a kill, but i could feel myself learning things and getting better (almost) every attempt. Once i started believing "it's just a matter of time before i kill it", the fear and doubt stopped weighing me down and i did way better. Now i just do whatever looks cool. I have like 10 CoX kc and they were all solos, pre-zulrah me wouldve laughed at the suggestion

For those that feel this way, I'm in the same boat. I found if you try to really get outside of your comfort zone in a beta or leagues world, where there are zero consequences you really gain a lot. It's okay not to do mechanics correctly, that's what food is for. You can't overcome something if you don't at least try.

i think this was a really nice real talk. Wanted to answer why i feel this way but growing up i was a comp player and the number one advice you would receive is always blame yourself because you couldve done better. Most likely the cause of why i feel this way but on top of runescape being mechanically simple cooks my soul alive. I think additionally puttin in the hours to complete long raids/challenges and just dying makes it feel even worse especially since it was so easy. A good example is the fire cape and ive been struggling on it because i panic on the jad fight +healers when mechanically its just click switch prayer to Jad animation click. Its demoralizing losing every time and losing 1hour and a half when that time couldve been used better elsewhere.

I used to also think I'm not physically capable of doing Inferno. My excuses were I can't Woox walk at Vorkath and my internet connection is too bad to maintain anything "tick perfect". That was a few thousand hours ago. Now, I got my Infernal cape this summer. The mental shift was huge going from a normal Vorkath grinder, to Cox learner, to CG, to ToB, to Phosani, to ToA high invo, to Inferno. All thanks to Leagues! Shattered relics leagues was the first time I did CG and my two first Inferno completions. My tip to everyone is: 1) Use all the practice tools there are, Leagues, Beta worlds, simulators, etc. 2) Push yourself to do harder and new content. Do Combat achievements and you'll be surprised to find joy in experiencing bosses you've never killed before. You might end up finding new favourite content, like I did with Phosani. Which also get like insanely bad rep among the community, but is actually the most engaging fight in the whole game.

The most annoying thing for me is God Wars Dungeon. I got a Graardor slayer task recently, I have a pretty high ranged level, so I though I'd try killing it with the 6-0 method, but I kept dying, which usually isn't a huge problem because I can just gear up and try again (took me like 20 tries before I finally got my first Zulrah KC) but running all the way back and getting 40 goblin kills every single time I died or tabbed was just too fucking annoying, and I ended up skipping the task. It's just so frustrating sometimes.

I play RS3 and not osrs, but what's always been the insurmountable barrier for getting into higher level pvm is just not having a consistently stable enough connection. Haven't had a wired connection for years because of different living situations, but even as a very level-headed person in general losing attempts because of lag or a d/c is so much more deflating than any other death from fucking up mechanics or making a stupid mistake. So I just stick to skilling for a much more relaxed experience

So my back ground, i started rs in middle school in 2003. I played all the way up to EOC and quit after. Came back to the game in July. It's really not about being bad or good at the game but how well you can learn on the fly and not panic. Way back when. Kalphite Queen was the hardest boss and it was taking maxed players running groups to down it. Barrows was for those seasoned vets. Desert treasure 1 on release was for only the hard core. Now it's such an easy quest especially with quest helpers and your boss's have mechanics that you have to learn and if you refuse to put in a little effort to just walk and dodge attacks and want to stay in the old days of click until it's dead. You won't progress in this age of RS. You also have to stay calm, focus on the attacks and movements and realize death isn't as unforgiving as old RuneScape. You can get your stuff back from death and not have 2 minutes to hot foot it back or lose everything.

I have a ton of thoughts about this topic, and I've wanted to make a video about it despite not being a content creator. On one hand, no game has made me feel "empowered" quite like OSRS PvM has. The feeling of getting my first infernal cape after so many months of trying made me feel like I could achieve anything, and I really do want others to experience that same feeling of victory after adversity because of just how empowering it feels. On the other hand, people play OSRS for such a diversity of reasons, and when I first started I was content to do the content that made me feel nostalgia for the game I played when I was a kid-stuff like skilling and quests and grinding toward your favorite 99 skill. If that feeling of progression in an old familiar game is the reason some folks enjoy OSRS, I don't want to begrudge them that or suggest that playing that way isn't valid.

I think this is a really W take, and more people need to be aware of what a TRAP it is to fall into the "High level community" mindset, when I would argue that the vast majority of players don't even *want* to interface with the game in that way. Most people want to hit their goals, do the bosses they want to, and accomplish irreversible progress. Most players don't actually want to try to set world record times, or play perfectly optimal all the time, because that's an extremely demanding, difficult, and unfun (for more) way to do it.

I'm probably in the minority here but I absolutely love long form guides. I'm more likely to watch a 2 hour long raid guide than a 20 minute long one, because I know damn well that the 20 minute guide is going to gloss over things to the point that I'll end up having to watch another guide anyways. My usual process when approaching new content is to watch the King Condor guide first for the entertainment value, then watch an actual guide by Ed Boys or whoever that covers every mechanic in detail.

I started my first account about 2 years ago when some friends asked me to do a group ironman with them. I am now completely hooked, and I think being an iron helped overcome a lot of the inferiority or hesitancy I may have been feeling simply because there was no other choice. Yeah, I sucked and died a lot, but doing things like Corrupted Gauntlet and Zulrah gave me that initial hit from big drops. I had no choice but to go and do the content that would give me upgrades. I'm not suggesting that an ironman is for everyone, but I do think the design of the game for main accounts does contribute to inferiority and procrastination. For many, it may be easy to put off content they are nervous about under the guise of "not having the gear for it yet." You can always do money-makers until you are in maxed gear and then tell yourself you are going to start. There are basically no instances where end-game difficulty content is required for standard progression, so if you can't motivate yourself to take those challenges on, it's pretty easy to just never do them. For many, I imagine it only takes a bit of momentum to get the PVM juices flowing, but getting the ball rolling can be daunting.

I think the inferiority complex is almost intrinsic to the game progression system itself. When you start, all your numbers are low, and there's immense joy getting higher levels or bigger hitsplats or faster kills But as you spend time going through the midgame and that progress slows down, the flipside kicks in, and you're accutely aware of how much higher the hits can get, how much time is involved with each bit of progress. The game teaches you to look forward the whole time, and as time passes and you progress the milestones get further and further apart and gets longer and longer.

I've managed to beat expert ToA's even now and I couldn't be happier with how much i've improved! The hurdle for me though, that was definitely how many people will state how 'easy' certain content is. It's not, it just isn't, but it's being unfairly compared to the hardest content a given person has done. Yes, I do find 50 invocation ToA easy. No, it is NOT easy content, yes it is easy compared to an expert, or ToB or Inferno, etc, etc. People need to stop stating how easy things are just because they find it as such

I blame Plugins, i really do. They create this mindset that "i have all these tools helping me, why can't I still do it, I must just not be able to" fuck that. Fuck a screen full of a hundred tiny colourful squares and 6 different timers all running down. I fell into this trap hard, and I realised it when one day I was failing at ToA and my first thought was 'I wonder if there's a plugin for that'. The earlygame is easy to understand because you are thinking in the context of the world of Runescape. Approaching a problem as 'what can i get to help me' as opposed to 'How do i do this' is a subtle shift in the way you frame content that is absolutely toxic to the idea of getting better. I know this sounds like tryhard "git gud" shit but it isn't. I'm like, fine at this game. I got one fire cape and I think if I lost it I would quit OSRS. I can scrape my way to like... a 70 invocation ToA if I really knuckle down. But I enjoy playing and enjoy being in the world of runescape and can think of nothing worse to that than having a thousand blinking lights on the screen isolating me from the experience.

All of my PvM experience is in RS3, so I can only speak from that perspective, but I think RS3 has the same problem as OSRS when it comes to PvM progression. There’s too large a gap between the early game (where the gameplay loop involves clicking somewhere and waiting for your character to perform an action), and the late game (where you’re required to constantly pay close attention, to understand and execute complex and difficult mechanics, and to do so with consistency over a long succession of repeated actions). The nature of runescape’s early game accustoms players to this click and wait style, and when it’s finally time to enter the late or even mid game, players are presented with something radically different to everything they’ve learned up to that point. For OSRS, it’s ticks, prayer flicking, and movement mechanics; for RS3 it’s manual ability use, timing, damage mitigation, and ability prioritization. This is why I don’t think merely adding a few early accessible bosses like Scurrius is enough. Both versions of runescape added the complexity as an after thought. Runescape began as a game where all you do is click and wait. There was no complex late game where you had to carefully manipulate game mechanics. Want to kill a boss? Get your gear out, click on the boss, and make sure to use the right protection prayer. The complexity came much later with EoC, and even later in OSRS when Jagex started to develop around prayer flicking and tick manipulation. This differs from games like WoW and TERA, which are built from the ground up with a singular of gameplay loop in mind. So, even when killing the most basic mobs at a low level, you’re still using the core mechanics you’ll be using in the latest of game encounters. The problems both versions of runescape experience, I think, will remain unless the core early game gameplay loop changes. And, of course, we saw what happened when Jagex tried to do this with EoC. I truly believe RS3 is still alive today only because Jagex relented and finally allowed people to use automatic ability triggering. Even 12 years later, the majority of RS3 players use the auto-trigger function almost exclusively.

Yeah, it's always been the cookie clicker side of this game that's always driven me to keep coming back. It's just always been my habit to watch some youtube/twitch/netflix while playing this game, too. Though, I was sweaty with Zulrah back when that first released and had done several friends fire capes in the 2015 era, but I kinda just fell into focusing on relaxing in my free time vs just going so hard with that kind of shit these days. I've done some TOAs and COX and for raids specifically it's just the time between drops that turns me off, it's just too luck based. Ironically I love doing tormented demons and demonic gorillas, they're pretty relaxing. Slayer bosses are fun for me too. Im in the camp who've never even bothered attempting inferno or quiver. Honestly it's always been the plan to just do it when the "power creep" does it's thing or after I maxed, and with the private servers now there's literally zero excuse not to.

I hate fight caves because it takes long and it's a snooze fest and just getting a a cape, even if that cape is BiS, doesn't feel nearly as rewarding as loot from raids. I will do colosseum because I get more than the quiver, which makes it more rewarding and in my eyes more worth my time.

I really think you're on to something, and I don't think it stops at Runescape either. I was lost as to where this comes from because I've seen this same mentality come from other games like Fortnite, Rocket League, and other games where the skill ceiling is inflated and the gap between those who are gods at a game and those who are more casual grows. It's a novel expectation that one must be the best at a game. When you mentioned content creation and click bait titles, it made me think of societies recent widespread acceptance of gaming as a sport, and the evolution of how to approach games and the desperate search for the newest Meta that ultimately drives away any possibility for enjoyment of a game. We watch as parents push their kids to play games now so they can play in college, and we see the highlights of people's best moments, analogous to that of a social media mindset where the baseline is to show off how flawless and amazing your life is. You're expected to be great at a game, and if you're not, why are you playing it. It's multi-faceted in my view, and includes many different things I didn't mentioned here today. Anyway, enjoy the essay.

The main problem with PVM is the “cost” of dying. This is something RS3 has been trying to solve that OSRS is behind on. Dying feels bad in this game, more compared to other games.

you touched on it, but i think we have a problem with society with social media portraying perfection as the norm. osrs youtube videos do it as well. theres a lot of impressive content on youtube/twitch that makes this really difficult stuff look easy and basically makes people think that they are just not good as the game. Solomission said a funny truth with the game, if you want it to become easier just dont play the game for a while, there will be future updates which makes the current content easier. And as you already mentioned the prayer regen pots are exactly that, they take out some thinking from higher level content, no need to manage prayer.

I’ve gone for two fire capes on mobile but can’t sit down on my PC for an hour right now because of my baby. I need to get it because i look ridiculous at 110 with a mixed hide cape.

I’ve died twice on mobile at 63 because of the prayer switching being terrible and am just so annoyed with trying it on the phone.

First minute of this video I already knew it had to do with PDs stream and socks, it’s a sad case but there’s a lot of real life stuff that goes into the way he sees himself in and out of game and unfortunately I feel like it bleeds into his leisurely activity which is supposed to be fun, all in all good points toes!

There's a lot to learn. Alternatively this game also hones huge ego base rather than self defecation. Nothing in this game is truly hard, its just a matter of putting the time in to learn in. Also, There are a ton of people skipping steps. I see people at Toa and never been to GWD. Everyone want to run before they walk. The beauty of osrs is you can play this game at any pace you wish, for some this is a life style for others they love chill n skill. It's the lack of framework that makes this game what it is. You can't define rs and it hits at some primal level
