You can't keep removing runescape quest requirements from content

You can't keep removing quest requirements from content. One of the first things (albeit small) removed was the quest needed to access Morytania, while this may not seem like much the quest was very short / easy, and it was the biggest reward for the quest.

Now Smoking Kills will have the biggest reward removed from it which was the ability to unlock slayer rewards. It's not so much about the reward, it's the principle of the concept of making things more easily accessed.

Quest are on RuneScape to "block" content and make it harder to access -- the whole point of doing them is to get new, exciting content. Quest have a big appeal in my opinion because the unlock new content, which is otherwise unusable; they cannot continue to be undermined. I feel the rewards removal for smoking kills is a bigger leap than the past, and I fear that this will become a cycle of eventually removing even higher level quest content.

Agreed 100%. While I understand that a select few don't enjoy quests and would prefer to have things handed to them, I don't agree with that course of action. Quests are a huge and significantly heavy part of RuneScape's background AND future - most places and reward systems are immediately accessible - removing the final few that are still barred is tantamount to Jagex saying they no longer want quests to hold as many cards in the deck, so to speak.runescape gold.

It's a similar situation to them adding lodestones to every major city - it significantly undermines the teleports via chipping tabs or teleports only accessible via quests like Trollheim, Ape Atoll, and Watchtower. They may hold the viewpoint that it's only within the power of the person to devalue their own achievement, but that's not the case when they in essence remove the achievement.
