Abuse Early, Abuse Often. Especially if it's sailing related. (and rant)
I agree with the nerfs BTW. The rates were too good for how useful the materials and products are.
However, this again highlights how poor Jagex's testing is. Even two hours of trying obvious methods (like tick manipulation) is too much to ask for this small indie company I guess.
Jagex, if you even have a QA team, they need more people or better leadership. Whatever you're working with isn't enough.
If you think releasing broken content then nerfing/fixing it post-release is sustainable, whoever's pushing that (likely a clueless suit, not a Jmod) is an imbecile.
Maybe North can put his big boy pants on for more than campaigning against rainbows and pretending like he's doing something by getting rid of SOME MTX in a dying game, and stand up to corpo overlords to give you more resources before they ruin OSRS. Cus lemme tell you, right now, I have zero faith in Raids 4 being well tested.
