why are there even rs3 comps..

also who chooses the skills ? most comps are just plain boring with only a handful of people participating.

There's a random generated list of skills. Every skill will be done before the new list of skills is started. No one chooses the skill

I think it would be best to remove some skills from the list.

let's be honest, who wants to do a RC comp or something like herblore/construction ?

popular skills such as slayer, combat, overall xp should be more frequent IMO.

comps are supposed to be fun, that's not really fun when the skill is boring is nobody participates right ? just my 2 cents.

Not just high combat players participate in the skill comp. The skills are randomly generated and chosen to provide fairness to all level of players(including skillers, pures, ect.)

If you're unhappy with the particular skill in a week I'd recommend using a lamp on it once that week so you do not get DQ'd

I'm unhappy because a lot of comps are just plain boring and not worth participating

the participation rate speaks for itself. when you have 1 rs3 participant and 2 osrs.. is that even a comp ? there's a problem and you can't deny it.

rather than having ''all skills to be fair'' as you say, skills that are trained on a regular basis by everyone should pop up more often.
IMO all the p2w skills should be removed, such as construction, herblore, prayer, crafting, fletching, smithing, farming.

I think you guys should try to get some feedback from the jsp community and see what you can do to make these more fun and get more participants because rn it's just bad.


edit/ here's my idea;

IMO there should be 4 different type of comps.

1. Overall XP
2. Skilling XP (includes xp from all the skilling skills together)
3. Combat Xp
4. Slayer (because it's a very popular skill that most people enjoy

I understand that not all the skilling has the same xp rate but so what ? people will be free to participate doing whatever they want rather than being forced to do something they don't want to do and almost everybody will be naturally participating.
I feel like this change would be great to revive the jsp comps

If I was home I would have put some time into RC even though I'm barely playing anyways. Some people use the skills as motivation to level the skill. I myself would never level hunter and if it came up I would consider.

The skill comp has literally been the same way for the last 10 years. The only way you can change that is to contact Goldbranch and not posting here. He's the only one that will allow/deny any changes.

Edit: FYI most of the competitions are usually dead. It's been like this for awhile now

All hail King Goldbranch!

The comps used to be quite massive. We're talking some weeks were 10+ people putting in 20+ what is now called EHP. Been some changes over the years. Biggest one, other than splitting rs3 and orsrs obviously, is probably removing high-level punishment. You used to gain less "points" per exp if you were over a certain level in a skill. I still got the last list of reduction amounts from Unico back when I was running the IRC tracker.

I think its more ppl bored with the game rather than the comp itself and um its summer people want to get out and do things while its nice, tho myself I just been playing other games
