If you guys had to choose one part of the game,that feels like dead content, for jagex to revamp, what would it be? Your reasons for choosing can be anything, the rewards, its potential or just a good idea

    My personal favorite would be almost the entire hunter skill. Not completely dead content of course but I feel like with how big the world is, they could really make it something fun and worthwhile.

    I don’t really like how users denote something as “dead content” in this game, because the arguments I’ve seen just boil down to efficiency.

    People call activities that don’t provide top-rate EXP per hour, or magnificent rewards dead. A few examples of “dead content” come to mind:

    • LMS: I enjoyed playing this just to see how long I could survive, not because of some rewards or exp I could cash in later on.
    • Burthorpe Games Room: I play this all the time with my partner cause we like playing connect 4 and checkers while we eat dinner.
    • BA: I really enjoy playing this because I love how it incorporates teamwork. The mini game itself is a blast, even though I got the pet and all rewards years ago.

    I feel like this kind of efficiency mindset is skewing the trajectory of the game in a negative way. Jagex is being forced to have new content revolve around being “efficient”, and reward-centric, and that’s not how the Gower brothers intended RuneScape to be when they made it.

    What happened to just playing things for the sake of fun? Dead content is only dead if you think it is.

    Just my thoughts.
