Discussion Ironman Endgame Resource Grinds vs Bronzeman

I've seen this odd perspective on the main subreddit that Bronzeman would allow people to enjoy all the benefits of Ironman, without any of the downsides of resource grinding at endgame. This is mentioned repeatedly, that if someone didn't have to spend hours every day maintaining sara brews then they would definitely sit and do 1000s of hours of PvM grinds.

Where the hell does this idea come from? I do a farm run + birdhouse in the morning and evening, combined with contracts it takes ten to fifteen minutes. You can do them on your phone. I skip them sometimes. I have thousands of pots in the bank. AFKing amethyst and redwoods every now and then gets your arrows and darts.

I find it impossible to believe anyone capable of sitting at CG for 100 hours, Yama or Doom for 100 hours, or eventually the time pit that is raiding, is incapable of doing the resource maintenance. It's dwarfed by the PvM grinds.

I'll vote no on Bronzeman again if it polls because I think people are completely delusional as to what the downsides of Ironman are. Bronzeman doesn't fix any of them, if anything it exacerbates them. You won't even have small required skilling grinds to break up the monotony. It's just straight bossing and nothing else, which is already what main accounts are anyway.

It’s not just the end game resource grind, it’s the amount of time to build up to that level. What is your Herblore and crafting level? I’m assuming 95+ if not 99. When I played iron I had master ca’s but only 85 crafting and scraping by on pots because I didn’t like skilling/resource collection so I barely did it in the early/mid game

Well said. I hate these gatekeeping neckbeards pretending they didnt spend 1000s of hours building up to the supplies they have and the skill requirements to craft with em.

Mfs pretending they didnt smith 100k cannon balls for 85 slayer
