Runescape gold came hard and quick. Some players said it was too similar to existing armor, including armor from Runescape 3, the newer, mainline version of Runescape. Many demanded a return to the prototype designs. Others thought the new armor did not seem tanky enough and generously provided a few alternatives, with some calling for a more extreme redesign.

It got so bad that a few players started to seriously believe a meme that the upgraded armor was by another artist, which the artist that made the prototypes had left Jagex. But then something amazing happened. Even as memes blotted out sunlight, gradually but surely severe suggestions started to shine through. It began with crude Photoshop jobs, but shortly appropriate examples and fan art began to crop up. Players rallied around the idea of a milder, blessed armor group inspired by the Runescape god Saradomin, so they went back into West's prototype layouts and made some adjustments.

And after that, Cheap OSRS gold emerged: legend_arts, a gifted and famous Runescape fan artist. Inspired from the memes and motivated by elements of West's designs and other players' ideas, legend_arts made a hybrid armor layout so great it not only silenced the memes, it captured the attention of West himself.
