It wouldn't be so controversial if a prize that was common included magic lamps that grant you experience that you didn't have to. You can also buy spins. Jagex is hypocritical when it comes to OSRS gold refusing to allow real-world trade, but, in effect, selling experience points for real world currency. That sucks!
Another thing I'm not happy about was the introduction of "lodestones." When you cast the Home spell, you're able to select the lodestone that you wish to come back to. I spent the past year building up my magical abilities so that I could teleport remote places. I now teleport effortlessly around RS without any magical knowledge. They let you transfer more places than high level teleport spells can allow you to. That's a BIG imbalance, IMO!
There are possibilities to make use of your cannon. In some cases, you'll earn some money. Fire Giants is a good place to shoot your cannon because they will be dropped Rune 2 Handers, Rune Scimitars and items from the Ring of Wealth table.
It is required to complete the Waterfall Quest. Dagganoth is also a fantastic area however these monsters could kill you as the Rock Crabs will destroy your character. But the prerequisites are: The horror of the Deep. High Defense. High Constitution and/or Prayer.
Black Demons in Taverly Dungeon. This is a great spot as the ashes are expensive but there could be a lot of bots. Requirements of 70 Agility (Optional). Green Dragons in the Wilderness are great because they allow you to reach 400K/Hr. however there is bots and/or PKers.
The truth is that I had to spend a hell of a time in MTA before I realized what efficiency was. Got like 3 master wands along with B2P. And I wasted the majority of my reward on BXP#1 on MTA. In cheap RS gold any case, here are some points to keep in mind.
