With this week's Bonus XP Weekend fast approaching, I tried to buy 500 swamp lizards for the remaining crimson charms I have in my bank. I was shocked to see that they had tripled in price, from around 1200-1300 gp to over 3.5K each. So, I decided to go hunt them myself as I had done a few months ago. On 6 different worlds, I found bots catching them, so I decided to make a game of it and play "beat the bot", where i raced them to the spot after they collected their nets and set up before them. It did make hunting that little more interesting. My question to everyone is this: Should Jagex withhold announcing bonus weekends until the Wednesday before when they do their usual updates, or do you like having 2-3 weeks notice on it?
I far prefer bonus xp to be done in this fashion, rather than the promissory notes we recently received for the sizzling summer. This way, you still have to do something to earn it other than opening a note, clicking a lamp and selecting the skill you want the xp in. The game is about player involvement and doing tasks to gain your xp, not having it handed to you on a silver platter.
I would love to hear everyone else's feedback on this subject. As I write this, I have just "won" another SOF ticket doing a slayer task. Will I win another lamp for free xp?? Let me know what you think.
Happy Runescaping

I guess the luck I got with two effigies made my time a little more worth it. Second place will have to do this time around.
85-89 summoning, picking up that unicorn finally and i gained 7 agility levels. Plus I passed Earth on the forum highscores. Winning all around!
