It means that you have virtually no testing to back you up - with a total of only 600k XP, you can't have spent more then a dozen hours testing. I don't remember the exact numbers, and I'm too lazy to go searching through my backlog of spreadsheets, but I'm fairly certain that it was roughly 6k difference between a crossbow and knives on a low defense monster - specifically yaks, experiments, and SOS spiders. Hunter crossbow wasn't far behind, slightly better then bronze\iron knives but worse then crossbow.

Once a great game. A story/Rant for veteran players.
There's only a few rants on here, so it's not a question of probability. I have proof children do; do you have proof that adults do? A 30 year old simply isn't going to sit down and type an unreadable, hazy, error-laden rant about how Jagex ruined his RS life, then flame anyone who points out that it had to be done for the good of the game.

RSOF...AGAIN!
Meh, the mods there have to put up with so much crap that I don't blame them for banning first and asking questions later.

Your level 68 range :-w If you really want to argue about it I'm up for it, but I would recommend not doing so. This is cold hard numbers, and I have the facts to back mine up :)

Actually, I have 7 friends who pay for members for a month every now and then to post suggestions on the forum. So there goes your theory of no one. And sorry, but the whole thing about Jagex 'not caring about money, they just want to reach out into the community and promote fairness and equality' is exactly the type of promotional crap they want you to believe while getting as much money as they can behind the scenes, just like every other company.

That had nothing to do with my post, it was just an argument with zero for the sake of an argument. What my original post (and entire point) was that adults don't make long, indecipherable wilderness rants filled with spelling and grammar errors that blatantly ignore facts, cherry picking what they want to believe and flaming anyone who disagrees them without a speck of proof. Children do. End of story.

I'm quite sure they don't, though.

Summoning is awful....
Like I said, it's painless with no drawbacks. It in no way impedes the basic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it just means your children won't carry your exact genes. I'd be fine with that. It won't affect their lives, and it's for the good of society as a whole. Aren't police who stop murders doing the same thing? They are impeding one persons desires to keep him from infringing on another persons rights, the only difference being that desire aren't even impeded. Why is that wrong? For millions of years the dumb and weak have been weeded out, or we'd still be 1 celled organisms. This isn't a weeding out, this is just a blocking that in no way impairs function or life enjoyment. No, it's a much more humane equivalent to what's been naturally happening for millions of years before we advanced enough to interfere and stagnated development. Hilariously hypocritical win. And this isn't altering the lifestyles or separating people into groups of superior or inferior, it's simply non-invasive blocking genes related to lower intelligence, an easily measurable factor that can be corrected without violating human rights.

Chins are the exception as a mutli-combat monster. Knvies\darts\crossbows\dark bows non-spec are killed by rune crossbow, and dark bow is the speccing weapon. Basically, we have: Chinchompas as one rarely used, expensive training useful at one spot in the entire game Rune crossbow for everything else Dark bow + d arrows for specials while PKing.

High ranking players not as "nerdy" as we think?
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nerd Now, he's obviously not stuipd, irritating is subjective, ineffectual doesn't have anything to do with this argument, and attractiveness doesn't have anything to do with post lengths. He's obviously intelligent, so he fits the first pert of definition two, but as demonstrated in the above posts, he is well rounded and certainly not obsessed with a nonsocial pursuit. Sorry, but the dictionary proves you wrong. The correct word is 'intelligence', without all the negative nerd connotations. Long, detailed post means intelligent, not nerd. Learn the meaning of words before throwing around random nouns in an attempt to make yourself sound better then someone who obviously knows what he's talking about far more then you =D> Also, he is indeed correct in not factoring in the time spent for growing trees. Do you have to stand next to your farming patch for 20 hours while your palm tree grows? Nope, you can tele away and do whatever you want for the next 20 hours before teleing back to check it. Since the travel times are factored in, it works out perfectly.

The hilarious part is that it's real. Yahoo deleted the question yesterday, but it still shows up in the Google cache at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=cheerleaders+y+du+u+think+their+stupid&btnG=Search. The yahoo account also still exists, I imagine she'll be getting a bit of spam in the next few weeks (and rightly so).

Advert lag!
Which will basically ruin any site you don't specifically allow, leading you to simply 'allow all', and ruining any safety features. Adblock plus is the way to go :

Summoning is awful....
Who said anything about living? It's preventing contraception, not killing them. Painless and free. They can still adopt and lead normal lives, but the faulty genes won't be passed down. It's the same thing that would be happening anyway with natural selection, had we not interfered by preventing death with medical technology - a good thing, but some other method to continue the process should be used.
-
A lending ge!
Ooh, a little harsh. Let's go with removal from any form of internet discussion for the next 10 years and chemical castration to ensure the genes are not passed on?

Summoning is awful....
But that would mean reading the development diarys. Some of us dont like to waiste our time wit stuipd thngs like reading, reading is for nerdz lol and im 1 of da kwl kids i dont want ppl to tnk that im a nerd cuz i read the update. Intelligence fail is, well, unintelligent. Off topic: (Well, not really, I sense a connection deep down in the primitive neuron firings of my subconscious), I hate stupid people. Gah. I believe in my plan to save humanity. The 30% of the population with the lowest IQ should be chemically castrated, at no charge, when him or her turns 14, the age when the test can be accurately performed. This will be the equivalent of vacuuming off the proverbial scum from the gene pool, with a good dose of chlorine thrown in. It'll speed up natural selection, and quickly increase our intelligence until within a few dozen generations all humans are operating at a level above what is considered 'genius' to this generation. Who's with me?

It'll require extra bandwidth costs, cost money for mods to override forum mods, waste more server storage space, and provide that many more hassle for Jagex to deal with relating to hosting. Increasing maintenance costs means taking money away from members that would otherwise be used for updates, with no advantage - no ones going to become PTP because they can now access forums as a FTP player.
-

Good, my point is effectively proven. 7% of the revenue (minus what the main site earns for both FTP and PTP), vs. 42% of the bandwith\cpu power and 12,000% of the storage space. Thanks for verifying it, though.

Zil's trying to buy my love!
Is it really necessary to post that on every thread where someone coinshares? Some of us don't GWD enough to have the LS drops even themselves out, and it's worth it to lose ~1m in the price difference.

I'll be eaglery awaiting your response. Oh, and don't forget you'll have to get samples from several different time zones. For example, countries with lower average incomes located in certain regions could cause FTP numbers to rise and PTP numbers to fall for specific time zones, and so forth and so on with richer regions. It'll be interesting to see if my theory is correlated. Start with samples every 4 hours, it should be enough to indicate a pattern :P

ILU, Zarfot. Your a younger and less lazy version of me. I might have some serious debate competition if you start posting more often :-#

glitches plz post here find them
Or just report them to Jagex like your supposed to. Also, your sig's oversized :P I reported it, a moderator will give you details on the sizes required when he removes it.

Really, I missed the exact counting. Convenient how all those numbers fell precisely on even 100s, is it not :roll: Not that it would matter, grabbing lower and upper limits means nothing, especially when the data set size varies. I'm afraid that Jagex's active player numbers are slightly more revealing then your completely made up 'data'.

Once a great game. A story/Rant for veteran players.
It is not necessarily a vision of perfection just a misplaced dream that will probably never be fully realized. Nothing I can really do about it except planting ideas and spreading the word. Remember pass on the good vibe, I sometimes try to bring back the good community by purposely giving out 1k or 2k to the new players. I do what I must, mainly because I have the sense to make more money, heck I sometimes even handout full suit of armor, had a 99 set of bronze armor once. confused me however because, a lvl 56 took a lot of it and I was oh so very puzzled. You succeeded in confusing me with the last two sentences, so I'll just check to make sure... you ARE being sarcastic, right?

Longbows...
Sorry, but that weapon already exists. It's commonly known as a crossbow. There's only room for one at the top...
