Just some ideas

1. Allow us to buy our way to level 50 via crown store. Im literally sitting here staring at the screen thinking if to make a DK but not trying to level up again. I feel like most of us are making new characters for specific reasons or because we don’t like the previous character we made so we aren’t trying to go through the whole leveling up to 50 process again. I don’t see a downside to this idea to be honest.

2. Increase the amount of Archival Fortunes we get in earlier rounds. The infinite archive shops are a bit pricey, so we need more Fortunes.

3. Less skills that require us to aim at a target or a gameplay/combat option that automatically targets the closest enemy. Having to aim a skill right at a enemy is frustrating sometimes especially when there is a lot going on lol. Skills like blastbones and swallow soul are cool but having to always aim it makes them frustrating to use.

Alchemy - redundancy.

There's no longer a need for separate weapon and spell pots, nor fracture and breach, nor armor and spell resist. Merge Weapon and Spell Power to just "Power". Similar for the others i mentioned. Then take some of those reagents that are expendable and give us another source of minor heroism (water hyacinth - herosim in lieu of savagery/prophesy for example) or other effects or a new effect (maybe minor berserk and it's anti, etc.).

does anyone use armor/spell resist pots? seriously!

Pain Point 1 Some lore-books, for example one of Tanlorins quest-letters, are impossible to collect after the quest is over.
Pain Point 2 The shadowscale random encounter in Mirkmire won't progress. Dialog is stuck, and has been for years
Pain Point 3 I would like to be able to sort the houses somehow, based on size, or maybe on how often I visit

Pain points

Hand holding in questing. I listened to the NPC the first time, I do not need to hear the instructions again and hear them talk to me like I'm stupid as a forced part of the quest before I can move on.

Real world being brought in to the game. I play to avoid real world issues. High Isle being plastered with sunflowers during the Ukraine issue was obvious. The emote wash your damn hands mid covid.

Homogenising the account, or the talk of it. I don't want every character having the same pvp rank. There needs to be things to work for. If every character is five star, why am I pvping. If every character has everything, why am I playing.

This past year of story content has frustrated me as a whole, on multiple points. A lot of it has just been nostalgia farming, and it got irritating quickly. Darien should have stayed gone. It feels like he was brought back purely for thirsty players to have that bread scene, which they all promptly put in the facebook groups. Naemon should have stayed dead. Conversely, Gabrielle should not have died (and Ithelia should not have been banished!). She's in too many other zones and areas. Related, the prologue quest where Merrick dies should be locked behind having to complete fighters guild main quest on that character. Ossein cage has EVERY type of daedric enemy, even thougn more than a few are specific to other daedric lords, and it felt like "hey remember this zone/dungeon/pvp boss". I will say Caterwaul Cove was really well done and felt fresh with the pay off of talking to people who knew the places you as a character had been, and it didn't feel at all forced or like the characters were talking down to us.

People content with an aspect of the game won't be vocal about it. Things get implemented and we all have to have it even though only thirty people wanted it, until those who don't want it come to the forums and complain that it was good the way it was. It sometimes feels like certain quieter, or 'nerdier' playstyles (having a main character, enjoying side characters having their own record) are looked down on by the dev team, and it sometimes feels like the writers look down on us and don't like us very much. There's a weird undercurrent of animosity coming from the dev team in game, not by anything said, but by actions done. I'm glad there's been a shift towards open communication recently, it's been refreshing, but there's still that trust issue of expecting the devs to do the worst thing possible, precisely because most people don't want it. I feel like OSRS' polling system is good for things like this.
