RuneScape fascinated me as a kid but going back as an adult, it got really boring once I got past level ~60 in anything as the content did not change quickly enough to keep me engaged. Never seemed fun to grind something for hours just to get another level.

I thought about getting into custom botting as a fun challenge but it’s still kinda pointless - even if I had a ton of gp and max levels there would not be much to do except all the quests. PvP in the contemporary scene seems way too complicated and difficult due to the reliance on quirks of the game engine.

Definitely an interesting and quirky game but can’t fathom spending days of RL time grinding levels to chop a different color tree.

If you're okay unethically and immorally deteriorating the game experience you can make a pretty penny operating a large bot farm.

A pretty petty penny
