Harder for me to judge if it became easier - I suppose it must do if it becomes easier to get hold of supplies, once you have the money anyway. Still very time-consuming, though. By the time you are reaching level 80+ experience still comes easy but it takes much more time to make progress, and that time I can't at the moment afford to give. Also it got boring and repetitive. Still, you never know what the future holds... I'd still sign up for the new RS though rather than the old - I've done most of the old to death or at least to my death.
