posted by Shane on 2nd May 2025, at 3:58pm | Discuss Article

Drop table changes are coming soon, will they make the economy better? With the balance of skilling and PvM at play we discuss why MTX is not the problem – this time. Also, the player support roadmap and more from the RSBANDB group ironman group.

Note: This episode was recorded before it was announced that these changes would not go live as planned. We’ll be back next week with our thoughts on the change.
