The other anon's reply to you was absolutely idiotic, but not gonna say your start was much better as a start or continuation. /v/ be /v/.
>its a boring medieval styled clicking simulator that has you watching movies and afking shit while you play the game.
That can be part of it. But it can be nice side activity when you are indeed catching up on other stuff. In the end most MMOs are that more or less unless you are doing something you focus on bit more. That's also one of the best parts of OSRS.
Yeah you can train smithing by doing cannonballs which is one of the most afk things ever with some money making as a plus, or getting ammo for Dwarf Cannon. Or you can do Giant's Foundry which is bit more click intensive and needs you to pay some attention. Or you can do Blast Furnace with gold ore.
Same with grinding melee stats, afk at sands/ammonite crabs or the new giant crab boss, or do some stuff where you get proper drops, along with slayer by focusing a bit more. Raids etc. are another thing obviously which needs you to focus.
>casuals get filtered, serious players will end up quitting in a couple months
Casuals usually stay and see if they like it. Serious players play as long as they want. "you never quit osrs, just take a break" etc.
However, I don't wanna
>imply
Because it is kind of boring, but I think you are thinking about gaming in more of a "worth of your time" aspect and not just playing because you enjoy it. You can enjoy something simple when it comes to gameplay. Hell, I enjoy JRPGs, but also play Super Smash Bros. Melee competitively(even when I s u c k). You should realize that other people might find stuff you don't care about enjoyable. Because other people might think same about your favorite game or genre. Hell some people think vidya is waste of time.
Like Roblox or Fortnite aren't my cup of tea but I can understand why people play them. Same with most gacha, FIFA, military shooters, or trading card games.
To each their own.
