Ironman style is a shell of OSRS Items a gamemode. It gives the illusion of no MTX, nevertheless has much of the MTX that the regular game has. Mahj aura for 3 bonds?

Ironman can indulge in a variety of events that reduce the meaning of going at it as can team bossing. Ironman style has been poorly handled - it could have meant something but it fell short, triggered, broke it's nose on the way down then got up and tried to pretend everything was nice. It walks off with a nose, grossly upturned and left ill - rotting for ages. Oh and don't even get me started about the recent OSRS ironman play - the whole account sharing item?
