No, we're just past that age where "LOL I CAN HAS CHEEZBERGER PLZ" makes us ROTFLOL. Try saying a LOLcats joke aloud in church and see how many laughs you get. It's all about the audience. Tip.it is older, we don't appreciate it. We don't come into 4chan and tell you guys to act mature, don't come to tip.it and tell us to act immature.

7/10, you don't post as much as you used to in rants\H&A

I read the whole thing, 3 times to try and make my way through the haze of run on sentences and total lack of punctuation or grammar. Perhaps you should show me where the word 'signify' exists in that particular sentence, I can't seem to locate it. Maybe you could explain how the shock is greater then seeing yourself 1 hit by an AGS spec at 60 HP. Reverants are a PKer replacement, and they are listed as 'dangerous' for a reason :roll: I'll save you the trouble. Try http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/runescape.com, as relating to daily traffic details. As mentioned in various newsposts, RS is experiencing its typical 22% per year growth in members, and it didn't earn the #6 rank in yahoo search for nothing. Much as you may hate to admit it, RS isn't dying. What the heck are you doing trying to tie 'minigames' into 'player killing'? The SOLE goal of FTP is to get people to sign up for members. The ONLY goal. Look at their revenue charts, as taken from financial statements: Yeah, that little avenue comes from FTP advertising - and that INCLUDES advertising on the main site. Don't try and pull the "FTP ads pay for itself" argument, look at the server costs: The sole goal of FTP is to lure people into members. Period. That's your friends choice, Jagex isn't responsible for it. It's a plain fact that a low percentage of people quit as the result of the PKing updates, and the surge of new players created by the updates far overrode it - as well as KEEPING THE GAME ACCEPTING CREDIT CARDS. Do you know how many people pay by credit card? Hint: A lot. Madison already stated that they would be forced to end credit card payments within 6 months due to credit card fraud from RWT if they didn't do anything; you can bet your life far, FAR would be gone now then if they hadn't done that. On the good side, you've actually come back to defender your post, so kudos for that. Expect a long, long argument with me ending either in you proving me wrong on a few small points in the next 40 pages, or me proving you wrong. I can't wait, I love a good debate :twisted:

UPDATE: I decided to post the images themselves to show what I mean. Here's the exact code for my signature, as PMed to me by Pyromancer when he removed it. Pyro, you can check your outbox if you don't believe me; it's the signature in its entirety, and none of the imageshack images have been modified in any way (I don't even think it's possible to edit them :P ): [img=http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/1516/speedtesthi5.jpg] [img=http://sign.tip.it/1/8/24/212/DeviledEgg24.png] Total Profit from Merchanting: [b]134.2M[/b] Drops: 1 X Draconic Visage, Whip X 1, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 27 GWD drops: 13,000 X Bars 4 X Sara Sword, 1 X [b]Saradomin Hilt[/b], 8 X [b]Bandos Hilt[/b], 8 X Bandos Platebody, 9 X Bandos Tassets, 4 X Bandos Boots, 37 X Godsword Shard, 59 X Dragon Boots Dry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - [url=http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=765267]Slayer Sucks[/url] Now, when pasted without the code tags, it creates this: Total Profit from Merchanting: 134.2M Drops: 1 X Draconic Visage, Whip X 1, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 27 GWD drops: 13,000 X Bars 4 X Sara Sword, 1 X Saradomin Hilt, 8 X Bandos Hilt, 8 X Bandos Platebody, 9 X Bandos Tassets, 4 X Bandos Boots, 37 X Godsword Shard, 59 X Dragon Boots Dry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks The original screen grab taken by another member to 'prove' my oversize signature was taken with the browser window zoomed in; press ctrl + 0 to zoom to your browsers standard zoom level. I did this before taking all of the following screen grabs: First up, Exhibit A: My Removed Signature, as cropped to the top and bottom lines: Grand total vertical height: 296px (Right click -> Image Properties) Next up, Exhibit B: evil_mumm_ra. Now, first, a quick note about his signatures: He has them on an automatic image rotator, and as far as I can tell, only 3/4ths of his images are 200px, so if you don't see a 200px image at first, hit F5 a few times. The signature: Grand total vertical height: 296px (Right click -> Image Properties) Verrry interesting. Our signatures are literally the same size, down to the exact pixel. Which begs my question: Why was mine removed for being 'too large', while his was allowed to remain because 'his text was smaller'? Another point I want to bring up. When I was PMing Pyromancer, he stated that 4 lines of text were the limit for him in this PM: I agree completely with him. I see no problem with limiting my signature. What I DO see a problem with is my signature being banned at the exact pixel size of another member, who is let off scott free. For demonstration purposes, I also screengrabbed what 4 lines would be in standard font: Grand total vertical height: 272px (Right click -> Image Properties) In conclusion, I would like to say that I agree with pyromancer, and I have no problem whatsoever with trimming my signature down. I removed the top image, and it is now within the rules. I am, however, dismayed that my signature is being removed while another member with a signature precisely the same size is never penalized. If there's a reason (mods don't like me, he's a TET crew member, Pyro made a mistake, etc. etc. etc.), tell me and I'll be happy and move on to the next oversize signature I've reported with no effect.

Bump. Still waiting for a response.

It's not varied results we want, it's accurate. If a player knows he's going to fight a mage, he can show up in leather if he wants to - but in real fighting, he's going to be in full iron. Keep the outfits what they really are.

Est0, your training your HP too high. You should be 35 at the max, and if he's getting prayer he'll be a lot lower. Are you going to compare him to a "pure-training-higher" build with rune scimmy, or a "pure-staying-low" with a steel\black?

2/10, yup

Exactly :P 2/10

* avatar, typo 7/10

2/10, haven't seen you anywhere I post lately

Good, my prediction was right. I was taking bets on if I would force you to leave, keep arguing with you, or convince you to actually get a signature 7/10, I like the cool color edges at the sides. The bottom part reminds me of soap bubbles that morph into smoke at the middle. Nice :thumbsup:

Main points, for those who don't want to bother reading: He thinks the bridge update started off a chain of updates that: * Ruined the RS community * Made all his friends quit * Made him lose full rune when a Reverant killed him * Turned Jagex into "communists" * "Bribed" FTP by giving them updates Now, a rebuttal to those points: #1, all the updates you mentioned DRASTICALLY improved the RS community. By letting clans in, Jagex promoted teamwork and reliance on others. With lootshare\coinshare, they provided a simple and scam-free way to distribute drops through teams. With many, many team based updates, they forced players to HAVE to work together in order to get rewards #2, People change. People quit. New people come in. The updates have both matured the community and expanded it, so you should have even more friends now #3, That's your own fault. There's warning signs plastered like billboards all over #4, Do you know what communism is? It's a form of government where a private individual cannot own his or her own items, and anything that individual produces is split up among every person in the community. Now, last time I bought dragon claws, I got them and not every single RS player - it's nothing remotely resembling communism, and you are obviously clueless as to what communism actually is. #5, It's a form of throwing FTP a bone. They're trying to get them to upgrade to members by inticing them with cool features, that's the whole POINT of FTP! Sorry, but I completely disagree with every part of this rant for the above reasons. Feel free to offer a rebuttal, or more likely, never return to this thread again like so many other "post and leave" people.

0/10, no avatar

Nope, colors don't carry a unique representation. And the spam is really getting annoying, your irritating every person who comes here to rate avatars by not having one.

It hasn't evolved into a 'your wrong! no, your wrong!" discussion yet; if it does, I can make a video proving it's impossible, but as I mentioned earlier, a video proving it is is much easier for me to examine and comment on. Until then, we're making sure that the video will be on the correct subject. No sense in him wasting his time proving a point I already agree with :P

Err, what? There isn't many pure mages dueling pure meleers in optimal gear with known stats, outfits, and inventories. It's a 'test it myself' situation. Really, all that's needed are longer binding spells (make a level 75, 10 second binding spell with high accuracy) and more accurate spells. Make a spell set that almost never misses with a positive mage bonus, boost the level required for it in the 80s, and release it in combination with bind and teleblock (already done).

He's not trolling, he just doesn't know what he's talking about. Keep in mind that he's a level 50 FTP mage - he's never so much as cast an Ancient Magicks spell, yet he'll argue all day about the cost, accuracy, and power of spells he knows nothing whatsoever about. The highest level spell he's ever experienced is Water Blast. It's like a level 30 whining about melee being underpowered 'cause he can't kill the KQ - it's not trolling, but no one's going to listen to him. I guess the best we can hope for is that this thread dies a quick, painless death.

Nice ends about 10 posts into a debate, at that point it turns into 'prove the other person wrong'. If you want to see nice, talk to me in game, not in the middle of an argument.

No, it's not. All I'm saying is that the older you are, the more mature you are. It's an undeniable fact, and I don't see how your trying to argue against it. Maturity isn't a switch, it's a level.

Want more pictures of 5+ PJers in 1 spot? I can certainly supply them if you want to see them. And that would do what good? I've already demonstrated that it's pathetically simple to avoid them. Only an idiot would get PJed.

I'm well aware of how to pick up drops without losing hits. Unfortunately, we're talking about luring the summon onto the monster - hit it 2-3 times, and it'll be almost dead before your summon has a chance to hit. Then don't read this thread
