True, I am soulless.
I think it's a good thing to allow easy ways of allowing noobies to get high level stats so they can do high level content. When the game was fresh and 99s were rare, it was a a legitimate accomplishment to be a high level and it was that feeling of accomplishment that forced players through the grind of leveling up. But now, by the sheer virtue of the inexorable flow of time, more people have maxed out stats. It's not unique or special, so it's the endgame content that drives people to play. The grind to skill is no longer the focus of the content. There has to be easier ways of letting new players catch up with the veterans to experience the real content. Take WoW for example - they let you straight up buy max level accounts because it's not the getting to max level that's the draw of the game, it's the endgame content afterwards. This is especially true for OSRS and the main draw of clanning.
