This is RS related rants, rants about bad internet connections should probably go in off topic...

Because goldfarmers with very high level accounts that have all quests completed could RWT easily... PM me these before you post :?

Sacrilegious! -.-

Please point out the debate to me. I posted a rant; certain people disagreed, and I provided the evidence to show I was correct. The evidence was simply backing up my original post and proving its point; taking it out would in no way detract from the thread.

I'm complaining that people seem to suffer from the delusion that slayer IS the best way to train combat. Of course it was an issue. I posted, some people disagreed, I proved them wrong. My point stand, I was simply verifying it. You seem to be confused as to what my point actually is. I think you need to read my replies before trying to prove a point, as your point is invalid and does not apply. Unfortunately, this has nothing whatsoever to do with what you 'think' or 'feel' or what your 'opinion' is. It's a fact-based proof, and no matter how much you may think it does, 2 + 2 does not equal 5. Wait. So my rant is bad because it presents a real argument and is well written? Either I'm severely misinterpreting you or I'm about to launch in one of the most interesting debates I've ever had. Respond if this is indeed what you mean, and I'll prepare an argument, or correct what I said so I can argue against that. It's been a while since I've had a debate here :P

True, but it's still my time. Telling me that my time is as trivial as a dancing pixel is a slap to the face. It's like telling someone with a Ph.D that their diploma "is only paper". What an ego. We're not defining real life vs. RS here, we're simply defining that items in RuneScape were not as simple to accrue as the common idea misleads people. Yes, I play RS in my spare time, but if you were to simply take my achievements away (so-called 'pixels'), I know that I'd be pissed. Achievments? You play Runescape because its fun. If you die, it may be inconvienient but you still had fun, right? Thats what some people cant seem to understand. Runescapes supposed to be fun, not a chore you have to go through so you can buy a Party Hat or whatever. How can you possibly say that you wasted "your" time if you had fun? If dieing was truly as bad as losing a diploma or heaps of money then Jagex would take it out alltogether. What's the point of life? If you die in real life you can't come alive again. Dieing in real live and dieing in runescape is slightly different. What does that have to do with losing items? We're not talking about dying to lose items, we're talking about losing items period. Two totally separate problems.

Yes. You might be better off posting in H&A next time, or trying something out before writing a rant about it. It seems to be a common forum problem these days.

Whip > Godsword for pvp. Yeah...No. It all depends. Whip + GS is better then GS. Obviously it is. You are comparing 2 weapons to 1. :roll: Doesn't matter. I have more PVP experience then any person on TIF. Not bragging, it's just a fact. But I can tell you this: Whip + Defender > GS at PVP Thousand of bandos kills have also proven: Whip + Defender > GS at Bosses Hundreds of hours of combined testing have unquestionably settled this: Whip + Defender > GS for Training So, what's left? Specials. D claws > AGS all the time or BGS virtually all the time, Barrage > ZGS virtually everywhere, Excalibre nearly matches SGS for 1 ten millionth the cost. I can't see a single use. Perhaps someone could point it out for me? Also, this isn't an opinionated or thought-based post. It's simply the facts stated in a (somewhat) unbiased manner. So don't bother trying to argue with the statements or accusing me of being a sad nerd, argue with facts of your own :P

I believe the rate is around 1/450 for elixir and 1/75 or so for SS, you should have gotten one by now. No such thing as luck or randomness in runescape. You need to stop using all my lines -.-

I'm baaaack. Again, read what pureprayer said. This isn't a debate, it's settled, over, and done with. Though I still get the lurking feeling that ydraisel is out somewhere slaying, collecting all the numbers he can, preparing for another assault on my XP rates. But I will never give up the fight, even if I have to get 99 slayer, unless it is CONCLUSIVELY proven worse. And I hope that it is, as I love the skill. And getting 3 demon heads + several dozen whips at 84 is a rather cool distinction 8-)

Name an update that people DON'T say is ruining RS... Yeah, I honestly can't think of any major update that SOMEONE didn't whine about. Lol, like the time you whined about F2P getting RSOF Making a single, accurate post based on solid evidence that maturely discussed the pros and cons of the direction Jagex was moving in doesn't really count as "a feeble, peevish complaint" (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/whine). I'm still allowed to disagree when I think there is reason to, even if it means arguing against the whole of TIF. And winning. You should have seen my inbox the day after that post, here's a sample of the trash thrown my way: "wow ur such a nerd, gtfo tif no one here wants u. idc if u report this cuz i made this acc just to send this so idc if it gets banned. get a life loser grow a pair and stop acting like a little kid". I had to clear out my inbox twice in 3 days, as I kept hitting the message limit. But I still won :twisted: I don't recall either of the two happening on this thread :?

What he said. I went to Diango for a quest today, I happened to check my holiday items and notice I had both a rubber chicken and a Yo-yo. I thought I never did those events, it was a happy surprise :shock:

The onscreen keyboard raises the VK_KeyEvent delegates the same way a keyboard does, so it provides no protection. He is correct. The OSK uses the same event as an actual keystroke for maximum compatibility with programs, and in doing so leaves it wide open to keyloggers. Plus, they could still do the same thing they do for pins with a sceenshot. Plus, that would be a huge pain. Just use an ounce of common sense and you'll never get hacked.

Yes, because it was catering to a lower levels along with tutors and other things. People complained that they didn't have it when they were a level 3. Name an update that people DON'T say is ruining RS... Yeah, I honestly can't think of any major update that SOMEONE didn't whine about. People even complained about the running update... Well I knew people complained about the tutors, but not about home tele. What surprises me even more is that they're still at it. I Every single major update has been met by crowds and riots threatening to quit if Jagex doesn't change it to what they want immediately. Such is the RS community.

So would I. Good thing we have armored zombies that will make you much, much more GP then slayer will. Think of how rich you would be had you used them :ohnoes: I have no idea what armored zombies are but I'm not sure that they would bring 200m in the course of maxing out. *sigh* Please read my posts before responding. And no, they wouldn't bring in 200m, but in the time slayer would it would be around 600m. But it might not be as fun, depending on your style of play :lol:

Even if you didn't splash, the damage rate would probably be too low for the cost. That being said, I've been doing some MASSIVE questing (MEP 1&2 yesterday evening as well as 26 out of the 36 more QP needed for WGS), and though I'm gone this weekend, I should be finished with WGS by wednesday of next week at the latest. I'll be off to demons to try every imaginable tactic there. I can tell you this, though: You should have gotten 88 summoning. Unicorn is the holy grail, and I can't wait to try pack yak + unicorn for epic 80 kill trips 8-)

Which, of course, she isn't. Unless it's a bot your talking to, those pixels represent an actual person and should be treated as such.

Any time one persons gameplay is changed, they claim that change has 'ruined' the game for them. PKers were forced to change and adopt new tactics, therefore they though it was 'ruined'. People who don't like the community claim it was more mature etc. etc. blah blah even when it wasn't. Time heals all wounds.

1/450 Then again, my personal rate is 1/175 with 22 whips. But I got epicly lucky at first, with my 1st whip coming in 13 kills and average less then 1/130 for the first 10 Still, the average rate is 1/450 with ROW, 1/500 w\o. So yeah, your friend has about a 63% chance of having gotten one by now. Not that big, just don't give up and work through the dry streak :thumbsup:

We're talking about items already lost, and I haven't seen a single difference yet ;) Well RWT is the only difference. Player A makes $22.5/h and spends it on gold at the rate of 1m/$2.5. Player A makes 9m/h Player B makes 1m/h honestly. The value in time of runescape objects can vary greatly. Time lost = items lost. DO NOT RWT THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE No different in the real world, a doctor could spend an hour making $70, while a coal miner makes less hten that in a full 8 hour day with far harder labor ;) But if your a doctor, money is worth less (not worthless) to you because you can make it back easier. I have no clue what im saying though... Same for a RWTer. It's all an exact parallel, it's almost impossible to separate based on characteristics alone. My point: While not the same exact thing, it's on par with real world items, and it certainly is a 'big deal'.

Yay, daemon problems. I didn't like the generic "server problems" explanation. It's too open to the "TIF IS GETTING HACKZORED" assumption. That being said, we've been down an unusual number of times in the past few weeks. It usually happens at off peak times, but I can name at least 6 different cases where the forums were offline for over 10 minutes. Then again, they're not that high volume, and the users are forgiving, so it's not a big deal. I can't imagine the admins make much from advertising\donating, so I'm impressed as it is =D>
