A fun hobby? If you want a fun hobby that has some sort of personal achievements and accomplishments for it then you'd be playing osrs.
Because if you're here worried about 10% multiplicative drop rate... While not something all that exciting and amazing itself, at least your achievements and accomplishments there will stand longer than some cheap imitation of it that has barely any players, and an even smaller game mode that you're playing.
Edit: And the reason my post doesn't add anything is because this thread is stupid. You're playing a half assed pserver.

Wherever there is room for completing a goal within a game you enjoy playing, it makes sense to have accomplishments. If this wasn't the case, people wouldn't play.
I understand what you're saying in the stance that people shouldn't feel as proud as they do about it all because it's something so minor to care about but you must surely understand the concept of it.
Say that to eSports companies/teams and streamers who earn more than 5x what both your parents earn per annum. Granted, your post was aimed not particularly at these people but to say games accomplish nothing is ridiculous and narrowminded.
It was a sarcastic comment in reply to somebody who came to add nothing to the discussion, but to suggest that e-sports are accomplishing anything is a stretch, sure they're making money and entertaining people. But in the grand scheme of things what is it doing? They don't cure diseases, feed the hungry, build shelter or end wars. IMO it would be narrow-minded to call something an accomplishment just because it makes money.
Now that's not to say they CAN'T do positive things, they certainly could, by promoting worthy causes or educating people.
Besides, the only point i was trying to make is that people who play games can do so for whatever reason they want, progress, achievement or just for something to do, nobody has the right to judge somebody for their decisions so long as they aren't affecting others.
that aside, im not trying to hate on you, just replying to your somewhat demeaning comment.

Depends on your goals. If your goal is to become successful in life (i.e, a well paid job which eSports can turn out to be) then it would be an achievement. People have different opinions on what achievements can be, an achievement to me may not be the same thing to you because they are self acomplished.
Very true, it does depend on your goals, but I would argue that if your goal is solely to become rich then you're just another victim to a materialistic world view that drives almost all greed and selfishness
Equating money to success would be a mistake
Money is a means to get wealth, not the wealth itself.
Which is why I respect Elon Musk's work ethic as he cares solely for his business - just uses his funds to progress his business and doesn't necessarily care about profit because he has bank (specifically talking SpaceX here).
Regardless, this discussion is off topic and has been taken out of proportion of the original point you were trying to convey so I'll stop it here.
What Terror says here is true, if you want to feel a true level of accomplishment then switch to OSRS. You will feel a greater pride in your account reaching your goals.
I played OSRS plenty until 2 of my accounts got hit with a macro major, apparently my playstyle isn't human enough
I'm not "worried" about a 10% drop buff, im simply suggesting that there is no valid reason for it to be there in the first place
as for "half-assed" pserver i don't think ur giving pali the credit he deserves, this server is EASILY better than the majority of other private servers
Was thinking the same ^.^
rename your account from bungle to susdaddy71 and set up a protest at edge.
