I am able to get any moment to age from OSRS's death and a random hint between today. But I'll never be able to acquire a cosmetic from this store if I do not participate in a particular tournament. I don't really enjoy that. If it's like you say along with RS gold the rewards shop stays consistent between championships so you can use your points to finally buy all the uniques (after however many months/years), I am game for that. I would be OK with a slow, grindy approach to get it. Just not uniques that then become unobtainable on a DIY account.
To estimate Kieren,"It is a fresh spin on Old School and a different approach to perform, whilst playing less you'll receive less points, each point you get makes a difference in terms of the rewards you'll be able to get onto your principal account." I agree that rewards should not only be accessible by players who play 20 hours a day, however, the J Mods have confirmed that isn't true before I made my article; thus the purpose of my post.
If they're just decorative, then I really don't see why an ironman can not pick up the rewards in RuneScape in an NPC if it's done on precisely the exact same account. If you're talking about impossible to unlock due to the rivalry between others, well, hard I guess, a few people play over others. I just hope they bring out benefits for casual gamers (participation cosmetics, or reaching certain milestones etc) and also have different rewards for those who do nicely. We will just need to see what Jagex have got planned. It's an interesting concept, but I don't play as much as I used to anyway, so there is no way I would have enough time to play with it competitively.
It's just the competition aspect. I think, if you do win you'd be able to buy it. Milestones would be useful, and actually honestly if they maintain rewards in the shop consistent between leagues then I'd be fine with that also. At least you'd finally get the satisfaction of getting it, although it might take 10-15 leagues for a casual player to cheap OSRS gold buy rewards that are certain. I'm not fond of time-gated uniques that are one off that promote unhealthy gameplay to get you. So far as I am aware that there are not any items in OSRS now which are unobtainable (in theory) if I were to make a fresh account today. Possessing uniques that are one-off is what I am not happy about. Anything seems great to me.
