Hello everyone. I have a few thoughts about the article. What I found latelly (like a few years ago) about RS is that things are more and more confusing. It's the ring to do extra this, the urns to help you there, the gloves for more xp, the tokens from many minigames or skills (dung ?), etc. When I started in '05 RS was straigthfoward. Was simple and easy. In 2010 (?) dung skill arrived and I "tested" it. But I just found another thing that made little or no sense. Seems like a broken link....how does dung lvl influence the rest of the game if it's, in itself, a world apart ? And how boring really it is because it's done apart the rest of the game ? Jagex mentioned many times the great job in dung graphics. Ok, but where's the game part ? How does it becomes part of puzzle ? Also, RS lives a crashing economy, as prices are everyday lower. Because of free trade ? Perhaps. But certainly because bot's have infested the game in a level never seen before. They know that they are imune to any true retaliation from Jagex. And the "double money" scammers are not bots, are real ppl, and they are all over the game, more and more these days. All of this is a reflection of today's society. The (perhaps) noble spirit that I found in RS when I joined is now just a mirage. A couple of scammers make the game funny. Alot of scammers make the game dangerous. Due to clans update, I have involved myself into a couple of them. I found that real ppl bot - wow (thought bot's were from Mars !!). Because cheating (or getting advantage) is just the way many ppl see life in general. One of them used a bot in one player and then was a member of our clan with another player. Basically he used the money from the first to boost the lvls in the second - things like cook and mage, that he needed to buy items in order to level. One day he said to me: "hey, we only have a 7mn ttl xp difference". To me we don't just have a 7mn xp difference, we have a huge difference as persons, in game and in real life. These are a couple of thoughts to think about when we analyse RS in 2011 - are we heading to a cliff ?
