Just wondering if anyone else has this same feeling as I do.
I watch all these videos of RS content, lurk around this subforum all the time.

I get this urge to play again, but as soon as I load up and log in, I like lose all motivation to do anything and get off again.
This whole process repeats itself pretty much endlessly.

Anyone else get this way? Any way to get some motivation again? Do I need to set goals or just accept that I'm over the RS grind and move on to better things while recognize I enjoy the content but not the gameplay?

ISO Advice or others perspectives..

Pretty much nailed it.

I'm the same way... Did everything I wanted to and then some on my main account (2277 total, zuk pet, dusted olmlet, etc.) and even got an ironman all the way to the end game... Then hit a dry streak on a certain important item that drops from content I absolutely cannot stand.

... Now I log in, do 1-2 kc, remember why I quit, repeat every month or two. Still keep up with some of my favorite content creators / series tho, watching 100 hours worth of grinding fly by in 20-30 minutes is nothing like actually grinding 100 hours :P

You could try to force yourself to get back into it by finding something that looks cool and making that a goal to see if you can get back into it but... If you're forcing yourself, that kinda kills the point of playing a video game doesn't it?

I've done this off and on for years. I definitely feel ya.

Enjoying content and avoiding game play might be best. I tend to lurk in the Reddit/jsp forums for guild wars content but I havent logged in , in years.

Maybe just try and play osrs narrowly for awhile, with the intent to generate wealth for Steam keys and new game adventures on jsp.

Same I hate questing, I hate grinding, I just come up with new and exiting ways to grind skills and level up slayer since its either make good gp or do task afk with prayer gear and checking in every 10 minutes.
Have more quests to do, have more skills to grind but why?
My accounts just going to get wiped out when the nukes drop. Thanks Joe Biden, Thanks Congress, at least you held up your promises to the spawns of satan.

It sounds like you’re either over the game and ready to check other games out, or maybe you need to try playing a different game mode? I’m not sure if you’re playing a regular account or Ironman. But if you haven’t tried playing Ironman I would try that. It’s what got me back in the game recently.

But if you’re over the game that’s fine too, it’s allowed lol. You can enjoy content creators playing the game and putting out content and not play the game yourself. I quit wow but still watch race to world first or MDI.

You could also try and step away from the game and videos all together for a few weeks and come back to it and see how you feel at that time.

Absolutely & utterly incorrect sir.

You must play even if you hate the game, just like the rest of us!

Do the same thing. I can't stand skilling and shit. It's boring as hell. Then they ruin the game constantly.

Taking away staking is the dumbest shit. #maketheduelarenagreatagain #bringbackstaking
