Overall, I think if your looking for a fun and fulfilling way to kill time while not taking things too seriously or maybe become involved with a good online community, OSRS gold is your thing to do. You have spent online, than OSRS is your way to go if your searching for a feeling of achievement. If you're looking for RuneScape with longevity though, I would propose RS3, despite it's own host of issues and regardless of what OSRS gamers will tell you, and need to believe themselves, OSRS is not heading in a fantastic direction long term. Community wise, together with the toxicity of the community and the complete resistance to anything that contrasts with their nostalgia, Jagex will eventually have to choose between pleasing it's old player base and maintaining their newer player base altogether.

What makes RuneScape great for me personally is dueling somebody about the Wilderness or hunting other players. PvM and skilling is absolute shit of the time. You will find items like raids and certain bosses that could be fun but I don't believe they justify the huge amount of hours you gotta sit on your computer to grind. I really don't think RuneScape is great once you need some sort of diversion to keep your attention from the boredom that can be a slayer job, fishing, agility, etc. I really don't believe I can ever explain any game I have ever played as a tool"I do to the side" it almost appears to be a part-time job.

Another matter with skilling and PvM is the lack of development, there's little to no difference between what you do at a skill at level 3 than what it is you're performing at level 90 and beyond. Same goes for PvM, before you arrive at the tail-end of it, you'll fight monsters the same way for hours and hours. People today consider progression as"numbers heading up" but it lacks a whole lot of depth in just like 80 percent of it. It's also a experience. If you're skilling for training or resources battle at particular areas it is almost like you want to avoid running into gamers because they may get in the way of your training. I have met a lot of folks but it's always the same, possibly 1 dialog and I will never speak to them again, CCs constantly talk about the same things too. I'm going to guess based on your title you created an account simply to vent about RuneScape. It's ok, I've been there too.

I love how osrs is a sandbox mmo in contrast to the conventional theme park mmo. I select my avenues and also work towards my own goals wether it is to grind a skill for a particular diary or a quest released 10 years ago with a fantastic reward. I am able to leave and pick up RuneScape in 1 year and I dont need to play catch up since I missed a slew of dailies or my equipment isnt considered obsolete and shit because I missed two new dungeons or raids. I typically dislike mmos, especially theme park mmos because I dont need to deal with them just like a second job/a chore to keep myself relevant. There's also no sentimental value to plenty of those items because I understand they are gonna become obsolete in the upcoming huge patch. In osrs I will get an infernal cape and use that shit with pride since it has been one of, if not the most prestigious thing in RuneScape for buy RuneScape gold 3 decades. Give me a mythical thing in WoW and it is going to become obsolete within the next raid.
