Randoms

I lost a santa hat (I think) from one of the water trolls whilst fishing in f2p karamja. I am so happy those stupid things are gone. They took away the freedom you get from your more afkable skills, nowadays I am able to go and cook some dinner in real life whilst I runecraft, fish, woodcut.

Personally it didn't make the game more fun, there were some random events that were stupidly annoying, like having your hatchet's head or pickaxe's head fall off occasionally, and if you weren't paying attention you'd lose it. Imagine if that happened to a dragon pickaxe or hatchet, you're going to be pissed off.

As for the mentioned introduction of the caption text that you had to enter occasionally, it didn't work. The bots were smart enough to enter the text and it really pissed off players, those things are confusing as hell sometimes to enter the correct word. Also it really is something that was taking you out of the game, it's like if a popup came in the middle of skilling every 5 minutes, you become a lot less immersed in the game and you become a lot more irritated at the same time.
