Bland, repetitive gameplay made worse by mandatory interruptions

User Rating: 1 | RuneScape WEB
Runescape's point&click gameplay offers more monotony than anything else. The majority of skills are annoyingly long, somewhat hard (to pay attn) grinds. To add insult onto injury, at any moment you could be interrupted by a "random event" teleporting you from what you were doing and forcing you to solve some inane mini-game to prove that you aren't just a bot.

The only things that take anything that resembles skill are PvP (virtually non-existent on f2p) and bosses (none on f2p). In addition, the combat is absurdly random: even with 99 atk/str and the best equipment, you can still hit 0 on a lv2 gnome/rat/etc.

Many skills are completely unimaginative, like slaying which requires you to kill x number of monsters for exp, and offer little in way of rewards.

Take it from me, avoid this game.
