The Odablock And SkillSpecs BH Drama Brings Community Integrity Into Question (OSRS)

[@hujiosnurgio2940]

I understand both sides. one wants to create content, the other wants the content to stay good. the players would destroy the soul of the content anyway in order to reach their goal faster.

[@JCrews]

no different then boosting a torso from BA...

[@stuntgytis1334]

Good point

[@mk12-jc3vx]

Funny thing is now that loser is going to be permed by anyone and everyone in ideas community I can’t wait to see that trash dher lol

[@Sparrowly1]

The difference is boosting a torso doesn't affect anyone negatively. Meanwhile BH boosters will make the game as unplayable as possible for their target to get them to pay for the kill.

[@Ryan83728]

the funniest thing about this, is I was mad they didnt add EP, but players basically came up with their own EP! Yes!! run around and stay in the crater to gain this invisible EP thats only in the mind of your target that will eventually pay you 2M if you put the time in! Just put your time in and eventually itll pay off. Also jagex doesnt add target skip intentionally to prevent boosting, ends up with this. 1. i was already trolling and running around bounty hunter, and now I can get paid for it?! 2. i was totally ready to agree with skillspecs about game integrity but a lot of players like him come off as such little passive aggressive whiney dweebs that I have to agree with oda 3. Like you said, we are on the 3rd iteration of bounty hunter, yet its really telling and explains alot about 2023 and the community that instead of thinking jagex just messed up again, people instead will tweet jagex to dry snitch to get them banned and blame the fellow player. Its just crazy to me, like when 76king was around back in the day, no one was MAD AT THE PLAYER! Hell, no one was mad in general, because players were getting what they wanted. Now people worry about the game more than jagex (which to be fair isnt that hard) and always got to find something to complain about. regarding the tweet, yes BUYING AND SELLING SERVICES IS LITERALLY THE GAME This is no different than all the people that paid people to run essence, back in the day and current. Literally. Its a free market, this wouldnt be happening if there werent more fun or better ways for noobs to make money. All the skills nowadays make 40k an hour because jagex locked the best gathering methods behind BOSSES. They put pvp in a different category than the essence running and other boost services, but its the same thing, especially when they make the gear KC requirements so high and arbitrary and assign numbers like its leveling a skill, think of it as 1k xp instead of 1 kill

[@SB-SB]

I think it should be handled pretty much exactly like people who account share for high scores. If they catch you boosting to get ranks then you should be banned, temp the first time, perm the second. If youre boosting to get the gear it's w/e because its worthless outside of the minigame. Not even worth Jagexs time to fix it, if anything the players are cheating themselves out of the experience so it's their loss (aka PKing is supposed to be a fun activity, if you see it as a grind and nothing more then you obviously dont actually enjoy doing it)

[@1337strvids]

I don't get what the issue is people are having with pvp boosting many content creators and players do pvm/raids boosting a few weeks ago we saw GingerBeardie boost raids for a tbow and everyone was praising/congratulating him but when it comes to pvp boosting everyone wants to go haywire and be disappointed, it's a double standard that shouldn't be there.

[@ReinierRuneScape]

The solution is to just make people want to kill boosters, there has to be incentive Maybe no trading Maybe assign targets more frequently to avoid deals being made Avoid deals being made by blocking out the target name. Instead locate target by following the arrow and with wildy level/location Maybe reward a player some points for killing a naked man Maybe assign a minimum risk in order to get a target Something like that

[@ClayKicker]

they are planning to have money rewards on bh but i guess it will be low value. manked even said ironmen dont get tier they have to buy them because its so easy for them to boost the points for the gear...

[@runescaperxboxer448]

They should add a ready up system where u must click ready within 2 mins of finding a match and get teleported out of safe zone otherwise. If both people dont accept within those 2 mins then match is ended.

[@UIM_Moose]

They made two mistakes with the latest BH, not sorting out the boosting issue before release, because let's be honest it was a given that this sort of thing would happen, and allowing players to participate in BH Un-Skulled, why would you want to fight someone with clearly superior gear and no risk?

Not sure why he's pressed. Osrs content creators are spoon fed if they are popular. Huge donations and freebies, and Jagex coddles them and allows them to bend the rules. He has a big advantage over the average player himself

It’s a grinding game. Don’t wanna grind for something? Play another game. It’s redacted how lazy players have become. RS is already like 10x less grindy than it used to be. That’s why seeing 99 capes used to be cool. Now it’s like mehhhh.

use to watch oda but damn he became a sellout, wont do anything unless people gave him subs, he would fake act stuff to get subs and the fact he played the victim in everything =\ also he should have stayed banned, the dude rwt and done it on streams, shows streamers can get away with anything.

[@ANUBASS]

how is it any different than boss KC boosting for pet? or paying for bone runners to get 99 pray faster? cant blame him because jagex over priced everything and made it so 95% of people playing BH with jobs and a life will never get a full armour set or even bother going for it doesn't matter how good a pker you are emblems are a bad system when people who aren't you're target can rag you and venge fighting is highly rng dependant so even if you're good you're likely to die atleast once out of 10 fights atm you can also 2v1 people if you have a friend fight ur target then pj them tldr of it is really people are crying because we are all grown up and don't have years to waste grinding shit that doesn't matter in reality just because jagex designed their game to suck as much membership as they can out of you while making u waste as much of you're life playing as you can, pkers have always found ways around this and for skillspecs to cry about it when he's bought accounts, gp, infernals and took every other shortcut pkers take is stupid

I mean, the system is flawed, but still. I don't blame people taking 1-2m to die, I blame Odablock to encourage and accept this, he's just exploiting the issue.

[@wargod-xp6sm]

Oda could pk those people but is speeding up the process to get to show off content first. He's literally helping paying people he could pk just would take more time to do so. So I dont see the problem why streamers/ytbers getting on Odablock like skills specs, rhy, cengineers, kemp,etc. Boosting would happen regardless without Oda. It's existed forever... how about they get on the clans that charge hundreds of mills an hour and are promoted by content creators to boost raids instead of making a post saying its much different compared to pvp with just your friends helping someone out.

[@ForkTheSpoonWrecker]

It's the responsibility of the game designers to fix the issue but it's the responsibility of the "Face of Pking in OSRS" to encourage others to do it correctly. TBH, they're both at fault here.

Exactly Oak, exactly. These are the same idiots that complain rich people dont pay taxes, when its the tax code developers who set up the rules to be the way they are. Boosting has nothing to do with Oda, and atleast we know Oda is strictly doing it for content. Hes not abusing it for highscores or even for money. This is all soooo dumb, Skill specs being the leader of a movement requiring brain power is super ironic.

I’ve watched every big rs streamer use the community to make faster gains or have an advantage over regular players.
