The Big Chinchompa

I think Jagex has a contest where they see who can come up with the most promising update and then screw it up the worst.

To start, the xp for the activity is pretty lousy. It's not all that fun either, but it's a little less repetitive than regular old hunting, so it would be worth suffering through if the rewards were worth having.

But the private hunter spots aren't worth using either, except maybe the red chins. Everything else is stackable and would require frequent trips to the bank. The private red chin spot is good on paper, but the creatures in the private hunter areas respawn in a different corner after you set your traps. If you want to hunt there, you have to keep moving around, and it's just not worth the trouble.

But that wasn't enough for them. They had to mess with the runespan too. They say this is going to push players to actively search for good nodes and such, but the reality is getting around is too slow with the long-ass island hopping animations which is why nobody ever did it that way. If anything, making the nodes stay for shorter periods of time once you find them is only going to further encourage camping on one island, even at the reduced xp rates.
