Mage Training Arena really, really sucks.

Trailblazer league has been encouraging me to try a bunch of things I've never done in the base game, and today I tried Mage Arena for the first time. The activities were... not great, but I figured it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to grind it for an hour to get the important rewards.

Then I did the math, and even with the 8x bonus that I don't even have yet, it would take something like 8-12 hours of the most awful grinding I've ever experienced playing runescape to get all of the items, and that's not giving a damn about the rune expenses because I have fire sale. Outside of leagues, it would take 8 times longer AND cost an absolute truckload of gold.

What the hell is the balancing on this? If it were something fun I could maybe understand, but these things suck ass, especially the enchanting and telekinetic rooms. Have changes to this thing even been talked about internally by Jagex, because in the current state it's in it's probably one of the worst pieces of content the game has to offer.

Also to make it just that much worse, the bonus points in the enchanting task are bugged right now in League, it gives 0 points instead of the 2 (times your multiplier) that it should be giving.
