Not sure, he was either insulting himself for using eugenics from a book or trying to make fun of me in an obscure and anti-intellectual way from another unrelated, old, and locked thread. That being said, it was still flaming :?

That's lightning, a physical phenomenon not a mathematical concept. In probability, the previous and future drops have no effect whatsoever on the current drop.

Except that the two words were the point of your topic, and the actual definitions of them in no way whatsoever applied to the topic, making it pure spam and not worth replying to. Your welcome to leave, but it would be a 4 post debate, not 6 pages. =D>

My IP changes every couple of hours. That would be unbelievably annoying, as well as switching every time I switch from work to home 4+ times per day. Terrible idea. Giving away other users IPs would be not only illegal but very dangerous. Someone makes a typo on the name, you could get their IP by creating an account with a similar name. They can already see the IP, they don't need to reveal it to you. Plus, that's illegal in most countries. Even worse idea. Ah. So to defeat the evil keyloggers, we type in our pins. Brilliant! Why didn't Jagex come up with these genius ideas? That being said, even clicking to enter your pin would be a very bad idea. All the keylogger has to do is program it to capture the screen a fraction of a second before the mouse hovers over whatever color the keys are, and he has your number with no fuss and no muss. Not to mention it would be a huge hassle. Don't make your recover questions obvious, and don't download stupid stuff on an unprotected computer. Follow those directions and you'll never get hacked. And your draconian 'ideas' would make it much more of a hassle while at most slightly inconveniencing the hacker.

Immature: Thinking and responding in a manner which indicates short sightedness and lack of understanding for long term consequences. Flaming: To insult or criticize angrily (Generally over the computer or another electronic medium). Neither of those have anything to do with the subject at hand, so I can only assume you threw then out as generic insults without knowing what they meant. That would count as inadvertent flaming (while bringing up an interesting circle of stupidity), but unless it was secretly ironic I doubt it was intentional.

I've gotten back to back chests and 3 hilts in 1 trip at 1 world at bandos. It's all in their head, it's their brain trying to make a pattern where there is none.

Best counter argument to it. Not really, considering Money is RL and pixels are computer. Unless you can't tell the differnce between Real Life and Pixels. That's the only reason I see this "argument" actually working. -.- I have to question if you even know what paper money is or what it represents. Paper money takes time to accumulate. You don't just walk into the world and have $1 billion dollars thrown on your lap (unless you inherit, but that's rare). Paper money represents the amount of time you have spent working. Pixels on the computer take time to accumulate. You don't just walk into the RuneScape and have 5 partyhat sets and 10 of every godsword thrown on your lap (unless you go to the Party Room, but that's rare). Pixels represent the amount of time you have spent working. ROFL. My point is that you guys are comparing runescape to real life. Unless you can't tell the differnce to the point where runescape IS your life, suck it up and move on. Both occupy time, and therefore both represent real time. One (rl) is worth a lot more and is a lot more important than the other (rs), but both are different worths of the same thing. It's like you saying, oh look, I spent 1 hour working and I got 5 euros, and the next hour a different guy only gave me 3 dollars. The dollars are worth so much less, so I don't care about them at all. Time is the bridging factor, unless you would like to say that time is not real. But then that's a whole different debate. I get the feeling that curling is one of those immature flamers who will try to endlessly insult us with 'wow u m ust be a nerd if u cant tell the difference'. Truth is, the only quantifiable measure besides profit (end outcome) is time invested and enjoyment obtained - both factors influencing RS. Unless we're playing in a black hole, we can assume time is one dimensional and can be measured, even if it's only through our interpretation. Therefore, they are really very similar.

Not a chance. Whip + DFS fails ubierly. I've gotten 5 kills with a war tortise with whip + defender, and I average at least 3. How many trips have you done with whip + defender? I've only done around 3k kills with whip + defender, another 500-600 with a shield (fails epically) and 6k with a godsword, and the order is: Whip>GS>Whip + DFS.

And it's also going to much less frequently hit a two. Hits cluster around the center, your average damage is the same.

Low level would get nerfed, high level would get a small boost, PTP would get a massive nerf. Since you are a low level FTP, initially it would be bad for you, but it would give you something to work for. As a high level PTP, it would be bad for me but good for the game overall as a balancing act.

They would be helpful, but they better nerf the low level spells drastically first.

LOL. Funny. No.

Why not? Every company puts out marketing BS, this isn't something unique to Jagex. Possible, they might up the requirements of current spells and add a few higher level ones. They're smart enough that the only update to PTP magic would be a nerf, which it certainly needs.

Gonna go with yes, as it's measure in hours.

Best counter argument to it. Not really, considering Money is RL and pixels are computer. Unless you can't tell the differnce between Real Life and Pixels. That's the only reason I see this "argument" actually working. So a computer isn't real life? I'm not spending real life time in runescape? If I take a few binary numbers from your bank's server, I'm not actually taking anything of yours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property Read up on it.

Peace offering to appease the stuipd whiners. Jagex is smart enough to realize that magic is overpowered, even if some of the whinny younger players aren't experienced enough to recognize it. Us more intelligent users use it and laugh as our opponents struggle helplessly.

Oops :-#

Why don't they deserve it? What's wrong with camping that makes then worse then someone who switches monsters many times and is much less efficient\accomplishes less? :?

And so is however much money you or your parents have in your bank account. It' just a few ones and zeros. You can't do anything with it. Except it represents something in real life, a medium of currency determined by the time and skill it takes to obtain. Just like RS.

Simply say 'is money just paper', then add them to your ignore list.

That would work, but it's nothing like the original idea. Because there is no way to solve it in an open idea like that. Which it should be. Laughably easy to abuse with friends, crappy rewards otherwise. Not at all, popularity has been up and the worlds are full as it is, to the point of overcrowding in the main PKing spots.

In all honesty, I think your right. Players who have played longer deserve a status symbol. "Appeal of the masses", though. Make many new players happy rather then a few old players.

Where did I suggest it be removed? I love the skill, why would I want it taken out? That being said, as pureprayer said, it wouldn't have that big of an impact. SS just means your strength drops 5 and your attack drops 19, and bandos boots work just as well. Besides, they could just as easily assign the drops to another monster -.-

Yes you can. Time it right, I weapon switch all the time. Practice makes it easy. It also means that hits will cluster towards the middle of the spectrum, and you'll very rarely hit two or your max. No difference overall, except that magic is far more accurate and can be used once every 6 seconds instead of 2.8 minutes.
