Ive already thought about it and how it will be with our own boss height. Dagannothd are going to be really hard.
Not saying I agree with it, just saying how it is.

Tanking three daggonaths? How slow do you kill them? You should be able to limit that to two at most, surely.

you start off with 3 and if they keep hitting it will take some time until you killed one if you have to keep eating

So, for one kill? Things are supposed to be harder on an Ironman. Everything will take more supplies than you're used to and will be less efficient. It's part of the challenge. If you don't feel capable of it, then don't do it.

Tested tanking them on morph realm in full barrows and a dfs with a whip using normal prayer and a super set.
It's not that hard, you need to kill prime asap then pray range and take down Rex. Just make sure you pray mage again when prime spawns. Also, supreme is rarely killed.

Tl;Dr Dags are quite easy.

no, i dont think they should receive any event bonuses, there are a lot of people who already have gwd equipment because of the lack of a killcount, took me an hour to get arma killcount and i was only able to kill arma once.

i really do think ironmen should have their own boss rooms, they way the drop system works with ironmen someone could do 1dmg to a boss, tele out. then an ironman could struggle to get his 1st kill and be rewarded no loot. please consider this

After giving it some more thought, Rapsey and myself have concluded that the complaints are indeed justified. Ironman mode is all about building something up from the ground, on your own, without any advantages or disadvantages versus other players.

A limited, 3 days lasting event would screw up this principle. Those players who play during the weekend would get a massive bonus and advantage versus others. Especially now, since the mode has only just been introduced, there's a lot of competition to be the first to achieve certain things and the event just messes that up.

That being said, we've decided to forgo the idea of a double xp weekend for ironman mode players.
However, this brings a bigger issue to light: any events that we organize (castle wars, pest control, boss events, double slayer points, etc. etc.) have the same problem where ironman mode players are concerned. Those players who are present during the event will get a serious advantage over others who weren't present, which skews its competitiveness.

So the question is, should we allow ironman mode players to get bonuses from our (weekend) events, or not? I'm sure opinions will be divided on this issue, so I'd like everyone to respect other people's opinions in regards to this issue. There's no point arguing with each other, the only one you need to convince is myself, because I'll be the one to make the final call on whether or not ironman mode players will benefit from our events or not.

To Actually Say the least Sure... Everyone needs to earn everything on their own.. That's fine and sure Double Exp.. Will make things go a lot faster and it on the weekend and might even bring in a lot of players to come and join all of us IronMen & Women.. As to say the least while the Bosses and Everything Really is in Stages that will take a couple weeks or days possibly even months compared to this it doesn't hurt anything.. As some people might know that the Bosses & Etc are Hard to do as IronMan & Women because other people can hit you MOB or Monster in other words and totally screw you over and you get no loot when you see them picking up those Dagnoth bones and that HandCannon you probably would have looted... Really Pisses you off so compared from that and Double EXP that is really nothing.. and Wouldn't Hurt anything just an Exp boost would really save us hours and hours of grinding but even a little boost is better than nothing I'm not saying don't give us a boost or give us a boost really giving us a boost would benefit us for the best while we cannot do bosses it kinda singles out and makes it even

-If this make no sense please tell me my wording is off and I'm very tired haven't slept in 48 hours :))))

Results seem to be pretty conclusive - I've decided to disable all event features and benefits for Ironman mode players (except for holiday events of course).

We may decide to enable (some of) the events for ironman players later, but definitely not for the time being. Thanks everyone for your input!
