I use Attack potions in CW. More often than not, I end up actually killing those that call me noob. Then they spend all game trying to hunt me down, so I just kill them again. I find it hilarious. :lol: The amount of times I've been called noob for my attack level. Then they wonder why it takes about 3 mins to kill me. I just generally don't respond to those idiots. They're not worth my time.

Why don't you just become a member of some extreme far-right wing political party and call for all Muslims to be gassed to death for the terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists on London and New York? Because that's what you're actually proposing here, only with level 3s instead. Actually, I'd say a heck of a lot of us would care that those level 3 pacifists would also get hit. I don't see why they should suffer. Even then, they'd probably use some image-recognition software to worm their way around it. Is there even any evidence a machine sets up these accounts in the first place? Same as 2) I have a question - would you rather they spend all day banning WCers (not even mentioning the essence miners, the fishers, the dragon hunters...), or would you rather they work on new updates? It is unbelievably easy to change an IP address... even Jagex have admitted they can't stop macroers by restricting IPs. Same as 5) Your suggestions are incredibly short sighted, and won't actually solve anything. Maybe we just need to come the realisation that bots will always exist in RS, as long as the Real World Trading market exists due to there being players willing to use it to cheat. That's something none of these suggestions, or anything Jagex can do, will solve.

I had already mentioned this to the Crew in privacy. I can confirm this is true - it's directly south-west of the Grand Exchange. I presume it was moved to accomodate it.

Heh, for those who live here in Britain, if you have seen 'Have I Got News For You' (a satirical comedy quiz based on news events and headlines), it was commented after the quote about how this is 'A western plot against Islam', it was responded with 'Well, that's a pretty damn poor plot isn't it. Let's start off with the bears, and the next phase is to move up to the giraffes!' So funny and so true. :lol: Sharia Law is barbaric, and needs to be destroyed. It's an ultimate failure of Islamic interpretation. Heh, I watched that. I have to admit he was the best out of all of them, although Ian Hislop was better on this issue. It was a lot better than last week's HIGNFY, thank god. Oh [cabbage]! I said "god"! :ohnoes: I'd point out that was the Islamic Council of Sudan though. The UK Islamic Council has been in complete condemnation and embarrassment over this whole affair. Some members have reported being intimidated in the street thanks to this, even though they're as much in deploration of this as we non-Muslims are!

So your grand revelation is... you can't stop cheating. Congratulations! If only Jagex would realise that simple fact. You will never be able to stop real world trading until you remove the idea that cheating a game is acceptable. To do that, you'd not only have to educate RuneScapers, but anyone who uses Action Replay, or Gameshark, or any of the other cheats out there. Suddenly, you're not looking at a game with a 1M+ population, you're looking at several hundred million gamers. The problem is thus exponentially worse than Jagex like to make out. Sometimes, I get the feeling they convince themselves you can actually eliminate cheating completely. It's a false and flawed concept.

Can I just ask what the hell "consription" is? :P Looks interesting... I might not be able to make it though. I think I'm going out that evening to some party I'm not remotely interested in. :x

It's quite puzzling why Jagex put so many items over the current market prices, given how obvious it was that prices would be lower after the GE came out, not higher. If Jagex had just put items lower then previous prices to begin with, instead of higher, we'd already be at equilibrium for nearly all items. If anyone has a theory about that, let's hear it. With fairness, how could they have been expected the get the price of every single item in RS to the exact GP, especially in a market that fluctuates sometimes two or three times a day? They probably took the right attitude, which was that the GE will sort itself out anyway, so why waste time gathering such unreliable data, when they could release the update earlier, and not wait. I find it incredible to believe that absolutely no one playing RS last night wanted to buy Mithril Bolts. Not the most common of items, but there's certainly an audience for it.

If my knowledge is correct, the price for Prayer Potions(4) has risen since yesterday. To me, that indicates a lack of supply in the market, hinting the market for Prayer Potions is starting to stabalise. That's just one item out of thousands, however.

I don't go so far as to think you need an F. :| However, you need to come to the realisation you won't get an A in every single subject. I was expected to get As and A*s in almost everything. At the end of it, I walked away with only 3 A*s. Likewise, I'm at FE college, and I was expected to get four As at A2 Level. Since then, I've dropped one subject completely, and I'm probably gonna get two As and a B. So long as I've tried my best, and I get into a good course at uni, I don't really care though. At the end of the day, if I'm going into a well-paid job, the chances are the last thing they'll look at and judge me on is my GCSE grades. Don't fall for this message that GCSEs define you as a person; your personality amongst other things does that. If you're aiming for complete perfection, you'll burn out half way through college. Trust me. I've seen people do it. As for what's making your grades drop (not "plummet")? Could be many things. Personal issues? Illness? Are you tired? You're growing up; is it so wrong to think about other things than your school work? All of which can be dealt with fairly easily. Just put in the best effort you can. There's really no need to worry yourself silly over it. When you start getting Cs and Ds, fine, there's a slight cause for concern. But dropping one grade? Don't you think you're being just a little bit irrational?

That's in Muslim countries and of course I don't support the forcing of religion onto people. However, did you ever consider that the vast majority of Muslim women who choose to wear such items of clothing (in this country at least) do so out of a genuine love for their religion, and not through this perceived fear you describe? Next you'll be telling me that a Christian cross is a sign of oppresion for those that have been raised in the most vehement Catholic families... or maybe they're just proud of being a Christian? I'm not denying religion does have its problems, and is at the root of most modern-day political issues. However, there is a difference between holding that view, and taking it too far by being anti-religious, as Pat Condell does. I myself am not religious, but the faith and trust some religious people have in others in truely admirable. Being religious is not necessarily a weakness, so long as you actually question what you believe. That goes with any belief. I may refuse to believe in the existance of a divine force, and I wouldn't believe anyone who told me the contrary without proof, but that doesn't mean I have to revert to the opposite extreme and hate religion itself. Back on-topic, whilst the sentance could have been a lot worse and lot more humiliating, this is simply an embarassment; not only for the Sudanese government, but for Muslims across the world. Muslims in this country have enough trouble convincing others their religion does not promote violence without short-sighted idiots calling for an innocent mistake to be punished by a lashing. It makes me wonder why we help this government with aid for its people, when it seems more focused on this case than it does lifting the millions of poverty-stricken refugees across Sudan off their knees.

I've just checked this, you can't actualy get a "Thingy" from the GE's search engine. Thus, I'm going to lock this. If you have any issues, PM me. Locked ~Ginger Warrior

Surely, you've contradicted yourself there. You advocate your own 'free speech', saying everyone has a right to it, then you say that? That aside from the fact the BNP do arguably incite racial hatred. You're just not catching on to this are you? You have no right to free speech if that speech is racist. We can go in loops all day and we can spell out the very definition of racism if you carry on misunderstanding it. Also, by that logic, why don't you allow Islamic Fundamentalists to speak out, if you're so confident you can win because you're right? You seem to accuse us of denying rights to to you, then you do the very same thing to someone else. No. Nick Griffin says you're not racist. The two are completely different. I look at your policies, they are clearly aimed and justified by creating a clear discrimination between the White British race, and all other races present in this country. Hateful or otherwise, that is still racism. Considering most of the news on the BNP website comes from the far reaches of the media, I'd have to question which of us is in actual fact "brainwashed".

Really? Because, from what I heard, there was only one person that got into trouble with the police that night, and I seem to recall it was a member of the BNP trying to provoke trouble from those "anti fascists" on the way to the pub after the debate. You know what's another beauty of democracy? Everyone is equal. Yes, that includes ethnic minorities and migrant workers. Maybe you should have a look at your own party's stance towards equality before lecturing us on democracy, m'kay?

You seem to have misinterpreted what I'm saying with that second paragraph. I don't believe in censorship against anyone who doesn't agree with me. I believe that a diversity of opinion is a healthy thing because, as you rightly point out, it allows people to think more carefully about their own judgements. David Cameron may annoy the heck out of me, but he certainly has a right to air his views on political issues; and, much as I hate to say it, the fact he opposes the government forces the government into actions it wouldn't otherwise do. The difference between David Cameron and Nick Griffin is that David Cameron does not openly claim in his manifesto that he'd deny the very rights he uses to other people if he were to get into power. Aside from the blatent hypocrisy of the BNP's claim to "free speech", the messages the BNP preach are actually dangerous and cause racial tensions and unrest, which itself leads to crime and further instability. As said, if they do not wish to show the tolerant behaviour towards ethnic minorities that they except us to give to them as an extreme-right wing organisation, then I see no reason to give them that tolerance. I suppose in that light, you could call it retribution, only I'm not trying to scapegoat minorities which can't defend themselves for my own problems.

So you also believe that Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab at their own free will are "mentally ill", and that religion was "dorment" until Muslims arrived in the UK? Atheists like Pat Condell are the reason perfectly tolerant Atheists, such as myself, declare themselves Agnostic. Of course my view, living in a Western Democracy, as that this is a little heavy handed. But let's be clear about this. If you go to another country, you do so agreeing to the laws of that country. If you choose to show contempt of those laws, it really makes no difference how sound your morals are behind those actions; you've broken their law, and should rightly be punished. If this was a foreigner coming over here, and defying one of our laws, no matter how much support that person would have in his/her own country, you'd all be quite rightly asking for that person to be punished and face justice. Where's the difference here, except for the fact we claim to have the moral highground?

I'm afraid I don't agree with the idea that it's better to defeat them in a public debate, than just stop them preaching at all. Even if we allow them that freedom of speech, any time anyone tries to raise a counter-argument against them, they worm their way around it using slightly flawed terminology, or by simply saying, "You're picking on us deliberetely", effectively giving them martyrdom anyway. The very fact that most people in the UK are, thankfully, opposed to views of the BNP would mean they'd be able to claim they're oppressed anyway. My opinion is fairly strong and resolute here. I do not see the justification or logic in giving key principles of a liberal society (such as freedom of speech) to those who oppose liberalism, even if only to certain groups of the population. The only way in which I am proud to be British is the fact we have such a relatively tolerant and open society; those are values the likes of the BNP would destroy.

Explain to me how Inciting racial hatred can inevitably lead to someones death? Go away and study the black civil rights movement in the USA of the 1940s-60s, and come back and tell me that racial hatred and racism does not lead to people dying. By 'live', I'm sure Bubsa didn't just mean the privilage of actually breathing too.

Firstly, most of us are agreed that the BNP's views are, frankly, pure venom, and have no place in our modern, diverse democratic society, yes? In which case, the only argument I can see for giving them this platform is that the members of the Oxford Union, in all their wisdom and glory, can smite them down in an intelligent argument. They appear to have overlooked one thing though. I, being a Socialist who has fairly strong political viewpoints on most issues, have argued with members of the extreme-right (not just the BNP, but the NF as well) on several occasions. They simply don't listen to a logical argument. They spin terminology so much, that the very meaning of words in their own minds becomes twisted and distorted. They fail to see that promising rights to one race, and denying them to every other race, is racism, claiming instead that is merely the way to respond to(what they see as) a failing experiment of multiculturalism. Instead, they call it "realism". First they claim immigrants come over here and sponge off our welfare state, then they claim immigrants take all the jobs in Britain. 'How on Earth can they do both?', you might ask. They reply with some vague, mediating answer, such as, 'They take the jobs, get bored after a day, and live off benefits which they just send back home'. You try and point out the hypocrisy in that argument, they just demean you as some 'brainwashed lefty Commie'. Not only that, but they do it in the most cowardly of ways. They effectively scapegoat anyone who is a Muslim. They advocate the views of Pat Condell, who in his own words, thinks all Muslim women who wear a Hijab are "mentally ill". They blame not extremist and fundamentalists, but the religion as a whole for the terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow. Every election, they deliberetely print lies in their pamphlets to exploit the hidden xenophobia that exists, admittedly, in most people, just to give them some sort of credibility, using terms like "Islamification of land previously belonging to the indiginous population". Why should we offer Freedom of Speech to those who wish to take it away? They hide behind laws which they don't even support! One thing that was apparent last night was that no one cared about what was being debated; instead they noticed the massive anti-BNP/Respect protest that gathered outside the halls. I really cannot care less about martyrdom, or equality in regards to this. These people's views and actions should not tolerated in a liberal society.

You have to also consider world issues in such figures. It's no good saying, "Cut immigration, cut the rate in population rise", as there may be a major war in the Middle East (for argument's sake) which would lead to a massive increase in asylum seekers. I'd point out the fact some of those coming here as asylum seekers are doing so only because we've invaded their countries. :-w In short, just because current figures estimate a certain conclusion, doesn't mean that conclusion will be a reality if things were to continue that way. They are only estimations.

It may be just an effect from the GE update. People desperate to check it out means there's too many sellers; according to supply and demand, prices fall. I think that logic can be applied to pretty much anything in the RS economy right now. I bought a DDP++ for under 50K today, for example (if you want duplicates, now's the time!).

So, in order to get what you want (not even need), you're willing to get everyone to send in a load of useless emails into Jagex, thus clogging up their system, and making CS's job even harder? I'm sorry, but grow up. They have rants forum for a reason.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_Authority It may be Wikipedia, but I think it suits the purpose enough... It appears I'm the only one who'd noticed this post. :roll:

Half agreed. Some of them do, some of them are perfectly respectable. That's not just a problem with rap music. There are a few rock bands who also talk about women like they have only one purpose. :-w You're being incredibly generalised here.

There seems to be one running theme throughout this article, and this is; Jagex want control. I'm half-with someone before who said this sounds more like a piece of political propaganda than a justified economic article. You fail to mention anywhere in this whole piece why that is actually a bad thing, almost as though you presume a free, open market is 'the way'. Secondly, relating to that point, there are examples of successful state-controlled economies. OK, maybe they're not as strong as the US, or the Canadian, or any of the other open markets out there, but saying an economy cannot function simply because it is controlled by authoritarian powers is an evidently flawed viewpoint. Likewise, no one ever said the RS economy has to be an open economy.

The Ranaar/Prayer Potion prices are WAY inflated. Last time I checked, Ranaars were around 5K (lowered after herb-cleaning update), and P Pots stagnated at 7K. It's not 7.6K and 10.5K respectively.
