WRITE FOR THE TIMES - SUBMIT A GUEST ARTICLE:

Remember, YOU can write an article for the Tip.It Times! You can apply to write full time, or just submit a "one-off" guest article any time you want! Our editors will work with you to ensure that your article is ready for publication. All guest articles can be submitted to @tripsis or any other Editorial Panel member. For more information, including details on how to apply full time, read this forum thread: http://forum.tip.it/topic/209138-how-to-write-for-the-tipit-times/

 

I'd like to remind people of the rules pertaining to Times threads:

 

[hide=Read these rules before posting in this thread]

Rampant flame wars have taken control of virtually every week's times discussion topics. The following guidelines must be followed when posting on this topic. Posts that ignore these guidelines will be removed.

 

1. You are invited and welcome to express like or dislike on articles and a particular author's writing style. It is not acceptable, however, to flame or personally insult an author. Posts that aren't anything but an attack will be removed from the topic.

 

2. Spelling and grammar errors can be reported to tripsis by PMing her and they will be fixed promptly. It is not necessary to post them on the discussion topic.

 

3. Off topic posts that do not discuss the content of that week's articles will be removed. This is not the place to discuss the direction of the times, how much you love or hate the times, etc. Off topic posts will be removed.

 

By keeping within these guidelines, Times discussion topics will mean more for the Panel and Administration than just a place for flame wars. Flame wars do not provide any useful feedback to the Times, which is mainly what we're aiming for with these topics: feedback.

 

This policy is effective as of now, November 17, 2010. Any posts prior to the creation of this policy may or may not be removed according to the new guidelines.

[/hide]

 

When replying please make sure to clarify the article you are replying to! Thanks!

 

If you spot any typos or mistakes in an article then please PM them to @tripsis. :)

 

Enjoy the articles!

I think the economic impact thing for instances could be a falsehood when you consider how much profit being made selling dg runs in an instanced area

 

just because somebody meets the requirements for an area doesn't necessarily mean that they want to go even without the crowding

 

the larger concern is the panic ready economy which is willing to believe anything on the slightest pretense if it appeals to their gut sense

I Mostly agree. i think prices will go down a bit but not if they are in demand. besides once higher tier content comes out Gwd armour will drop regardless (which should come soon with POP and Kalphite King...). I still only see instanced bosses being helpful... PoP will basically be a version of an instanced boss to get armour.

 

with more regard to the article i do think RS has legacy issues (or rather a very nostalgic veteran player base) it needs to somehow overcome in order to move forward with changing the requirement / availability issue. The EoC i think would have been a step in the right direction but unfortunately they are rushing it out for whatever reason (though i might even believe it may be to get more ppl actually playing it).

First article had me going for a sec :)

very well written and funny. and a seemingly plausible explanation for the circumstances

Of course not everyone who has the requirements wants to go bossing, it would be absurd to think so.

 

My main point was really that legacy issues have created a problem where an NPC that drops a certain tier level of equipment is not obtainable by the players it's aimed at because said NPC is also being killed by high level players because of multiple reasons:

 

1. There isn't a higher tier of items available to players so they fight the most relevant boss monster.

 

2. The difficulty or requirement gap between bosses is so large that one is either too easy or one is too hard.
