Top 10 small Runescape Updates

Top 10 small Runescape updates from G.

If I would make such a list there would be a huge problem, as I very much liked every Make-X update Jagex did, so my list would be quite boring with a score of Make-Xs and a few additional odd items.

Why Make-X options?

Make-X options is one of those updates which I praise a lot. Why? Not because they speed up skilling - in fact, they are NOT in many cases. Make-X options slow down skilling, as "good old" click away methods worked faster. So people are whining about Jagex destroying fast ways to raise Herblore, Fletching, Crafting etc.
What they do not realize that Make-X options are there to deal with physical health risks Runescape would poise otherwise. I am dead serious. Have you ever had your arm hurting because of a long skilling session? Was it fun? Anyway, I had... when I was working toward 99 Thieving. I bought a better mouse after that and I drastically reduced playing time and especially skilling exercises. I seriously doubt I will ever get another 99 because of it, but Make-X options may make it possible after all.
Jagex was blamed a lot for 'neglecting' skillers needs etc., while, in fact, they are actually doing what is the best for these very people.

A few additional items:

My feedback to Sal's 'whining' article about Make-X. No responses back though...

A quote from TruthScape about the issue:
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) / Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

As the name implies, a repetitive stress injury (RSI) is one that occurs from repeating the same motion too often over a prolonged period of time. This is probably the most serious risk for most RuneScape players: many activities require repeated mouse movements and clicks, which can lead to injuries of the wrist, hand and fingers. One common type of RSI is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the nerves in the carpal tunnel of the wrist become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, tingling and or weakness in the arm and hand.

These injuries are not something to be taken lightly, because in some cases the damage can be long-lasting.
