support this 100% just for biggity

Here's some feedback from someone who actually has a rather high KC.

I've had 3 dry streaks that were notable: 98, 121 and currently on 127 and still going (lol) and plenty of 50 dry streaks. The content is literally not even rewarding. At least 150 raids were done post update, the rates seem exactly the same. Not to mention the update making deaths effect loot just hurts new players when its already dead content. The MVP just boosts one players chance of getting an item. Not a buff to the general drop rate. 100 dry= 33 hours with no reward roughly. These dry streaks are done over bonuses, duos, trios and plenty of 0 death runs. This isn't just me i know maybe 10 players with all different ranks going 90+ dry. And obviously many of these players use point boosters and drop boosters.

Another thing to consider is that this isnt OSRS. This is a RSPS. The loot you get from ToB is worthless here apart from unique drops where as on OSRS you would be making millions of gp off of the herbs,runes, rune items, battlestaves etc. Plenty of things on here aren't even remotely similar to OSRS regardless.

It can take over an hour to find a team because no one simply wants to do it knowing they wont get any loot.

Buffing the rates won't crash the items. Raids 1 was buffed and you don't see the tbow going for 1b. Not to mention no one really grinds tob and half the server are ironmen. The common items might decrease slightly.

Simply put, ToB is end game content and should be rewarding. With half the players having a 100+ dry streak that's not simply "rng" something is broken on the loot table. if you go 50 dry or roll a drop you don't want that's "bad rng".

Would be nice to hear input from the other raiders who have experienced a lot of tob and see how the rates work.

As most of you know, I resigned from the staff team a couple of weeks ago. I'd been in a funk for the past month, even after taking a handful of week-long breaks to try to get my mind right. I was no longer able to bring to the table the qualities I've always prided myself on, so I felt that it was best that I leave the team. After quitting, I realized... that was the source of most of my enjoyment on Alora; without it, I really wasn't having enough fun to stick around. This isn't a knock against anyone or anything, it's a problem that I continually have – we're on my 3^rd (or 4^th?) farewell thread now.

Without being overly dramatic, I'm very happy to remember all the wonderful experiences I've had in the past two years on Alora. I initially wanted to @ a bunch of people in this post but as I thought about it more, there are just too many damn people that have had a positive impact on me; it'd take too long to list all of them.

I abhor ass-kissing, but I think almost every single member of the staff team that I've had to pleasure of working with has earned my respect with their work behind the scenes (except that rat fuck Fe China). Even though the current team is small, it's still as strong as ever. And although I've received help from everyone on the team, the following guys went above and beyond to guide me when I was struggling at various points on the ladder: @Mhk, @Paine, @To gain, @Immortal Fox, Kharyrll, Groot, Dante, king purple, @Fenrir (stop changing names), and most of all, @Mack.

Some might not like how I left the team, and that's alright. But I'm glad I finally applied back in November and was able to give back to the place that has given so much to me. I'm satisfied to see @Omicron and Chad pumping out QOL updates and reworks to existing content. I look forward to reading about them on the forums, and watching @Lowkey's entertaining stream. But other than that, I'm stepping away for good.

Take care of yourself, Alora.

Currently working in retail, full time. (Jack of all trades, believe it or not!) > Petrol station manager to stocktake/trollies ETC.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time besides spending time on Alora?

I enjoy spending time with my family, walking the dog, listening to music/playing other games. My favourite genre of music would probably be hardstyle/rap (I've got an array of different genres I like) Not so much radio music though.

Interesting facts:

As a staff member, what do you feel you excel at the best?

Do you have any goals for yourself as a staff member for the future?

I would like to progress through the staff ranks, but at the minute I'm quite happy where I stand, we'll see what the future brings!

Where in your position do you feel you could improve the most?
