The freaking grindy nature of RuneScape gold gold. Sometimes it feels like the entire point of RuneScape is to grind to get a level so then you can grind to get another one so then you can grind to farm a monster for gp and so on. Is this the fun? Grinding and feeling which you make advancement in an environment so much more structured than real life? Additionally, as playing RS is so much work, I do find myself becoming cognitive dissonance (I don't like doing an activity, but I keep doing it because I feel I have already spent time/effort/money into it and I would be losing everything I stopped).

The fact that it is hard to play it casually. I feel that RuneScape is designed to help keep me playing for hours and hours on end or, even worse, even AFK while I am at work or doing other things. I personally find this kind if AFK multitasking really awful, because it makes me tired really quickly (switching attention from a task to another is particulary dull for human beings) and it does not allow me to enjoy and immerse in my activities, like work or chatting or viewing YouTube.

I am conscious that this is subjective experience I am talking about, but I am curious as to exactly what do you men think. Specifically, if such things bother you and particularily what you find interesting in RuneScape? I mean, can it be only a structured more fun kind of work which you pay to do or is there something in RuneScape that is fun and enjoyable in itself (e.g. enjoying a specific minigame)?

RuneScape is the sort of game where you need to create your own fun, yet are surrounded by a great deal of people who want to drive you to do things that aren't enjoyable and a great deal of game design that disturbs you to do chores, instead of have fun. This makes you feel pressured to log in even on days you do not wish to, because losing that opportunity to participate in content feels awful.

Auras are unhappy, horrible things as well. They pressure you to stay logged in for as long as they continue - then state,"shoo, shoo! I'm done with you. Proceed" When they are over, because, hey, you simply used this awesome item that assisted you so much and perhaps even was necessary for you having the ability to finish the content you were playing. However, don't go for too long that it says. It is an uncomfortable push and pull - rather than just encouraging you to play when you want, it motivates you to play habitually, but not play too much - because hey, even if you do actually progress to where you wish to go that's step one to becoming bored with RuneScape, that can be only a short cheap RS gold jaunt from canceling your subscription and taking a break from RuneScape.
