Jagex should create an official discussion platform on the OSRS website that is tied directly to our Jagex accounts. Reddit is useful for discussion, but it should not be treated as a primary representation of the OSRS playerbase. When sandwhichladytoesniffer369 comments on a thread and that opinion gets taken seriously by JMods, there is no way to know whether that person even plays the game, how active they are, or whether they have any meaningful experience with the content being discussed. An official forum tied to Jagex accounts could verify that the people participating are actual players. It could potentially even display things like account age, total level, playtime, or relevant boss/content experience—not to gatekeep opinions, but to provide context. We also repeatedly see situations where the apparent consensus on r/2007scape is very different from what the broader playerbase ultimately votes for in-game. Reddit is a community of OSRS players. It is not the OSRS community. If Jagex wants detailed player feedback outside of polls, that discussion should happen somewhere where the participants are validated. submitted by /u/Real_Irons_Jesus
