Ravenkana

Oh, really mah petite fromage? One question: Do you find the name Krazyfakin offensive?

Is it just me, or does JaGex seem to be talking down to us? In recent updates, they seem to tell us that everything they're doing is "for the good of the players." And with the most recent update, JaGex seems to be saying the made a "slight" error in justice. It also seems to me that JaGex has been telling us countless white lies and keeping certain practices under wraps. Point in case: the banning of supposed "offensive names." The point of this thread is to get YOUR opinion; to you think that JaGex has been mollycoddling us due to the increasingly low age of the average player? And do you think that JaGex should be more open and honest about what they do? Note: Please keep flaming to a minimum. Also, this is in NO way an attack on JaGex it is just intellectual discussion.

I'll laugh if they die....wearing the rare. Hopefully the rare is returned or -.- The suggestion I once posted was that when you lend an item, the lender sets a time of return: 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours. The item is automatically put into the collect box at the GE (Add another slot for lended items.) Any lended item will automatically be given an infinitely high protect value, can not be alched, sold, transformed, used if it's an arrow or chinchompa or the like, eaten, used in construction, dropped, destroyed, or used in the quest, taken into the Abyss, withdrawn from bank if the borrower is skulled, or borrowed by someone that is currently skulled. Basically, it would automatically be returned, and there's no conceivable way of getting rid of it, although you could return it prematurely. Also, disconnecting doesn't help since it still gets placed in the box after the time period (Just like buying things while logged off.) I wouldn't be surprised if Jagex implements something like that. I would.

And what RWT would go through the time and effort to do all the quests and get the stats for those quests much less. Usually RWT only have 1 moneymaking skill and thats it, it would be difficult for them to raise the others high enough. What about the botting programs?

Today JaGeX has ever so kindly raised the limit of unbalanced trades to a whopping thirty thousand! But there's one small catch: you must finish ALL the quests, regardless of how difficult. I just have one question, though. Will the limit be raised with future quests or will it remain the same regardless?

Professional criminals tend to be honest in everyday dealings; how else would they sell their loot? And if they stole accounts, they would get no repeat business. Plus, their are plenty of stupid people in this ole world. Look up the Darwin Awards for proof.

How will they rise to the top? The endless armies of botters have left the essence mines; now prices are gonna skyrocket. And, if it is the "best" way to make money now, everyone is going to do, causing rune values to go South.

Yeah, its such a sham it can only be under 3k, i once got full green dhide after a pker saw me die.See? Pkers aren't so bad.

Sign me up. Though no PKer I be, this foolishness must be stopped!

Ackh, laddie, be signin me up. Ravenkana be ma name!

But... those methods sound expensive... and you get not reward... so you just lose money.

Ya, slayer monsters have some Real Nice Drops. Like Abbysal Whips. And spinach rolls. Hail the spinach rolls! I like it. I've always relied more on skills than pking and merchanting, or monster drops. It goes to show you a steady source of income is better than a risky one. I agree with you. But its still a blow to the whole economy.

Well, they might now have known it was him. Seriously? Do people think JaGeX Employees walk around in Golden Crowns in Real-Life? They should. And every owner of a party hat should have to go to Burger King, get one, and wear it in public every day of his life.

Lucky me, nobody on my friends list chose to prove their "superior intelligence" by skilling nonstop. Call me funny, but if something's designed for idiots, it's the skilling system that bots could manipulate in the first place. I've seen thousands of woodcutting macros. When was the last time you saw a pking macro? Case closed, idiot. Fair enough. Still. No more worrying about losing your stuff just because you are a level 70-something, and some kid who sits on RS 10 hrs a day decides he wants your stuff when you go on a treasure trail. But you're absolutely right. Case closed. Player killing is no more, and it's about time. \ You're right, instead you will have a level 126 monster hitting high 20's and 30's on you while ice barraging and teleblocking at the same time, wich large range, the ability to open doors and do agility courses. Have you seen any pker so buffed up like this? Have fun doing your trial, untill you come across one of these guys. Well, there's only ONE level 126 monster, rather than several player-killers in the multi combat zones. Plus, all I have to do is put on my protect from range or mage prayer and easily run away or fight. And, if I do happen to die, at least it's to a part of the game, and not some 12 year old. I'm not saying it's a perfect fix, but it's worlds better than it was. Best of all, the random won't taunt me, or use childish words like noob, choob or froob. Maybe they can't taunt you, but they heal, hunt in packs, can short range teleport, can poison you, freeze you, entangle you, and can heal poison. Plus they spawn way to often and in low level wilderness.

That would be close to the mark... Except you forgot about the GE and price controls.

Agreed. Don't you feel just a little bit of shame whenever you kill a unicorn though? It's like killing a little piece of the sunshine... :cry: Not really... Unicorns are just horses with a horn growing out of their forehead. And horse meat is REALLY tasty... Provided that it has been properly marinated and tenderised, of course.

JAGEX won't let it happen? Wow... What happened to the free market?

Ya, slayer monsters have some Real Nice Drops. Like Abbysal Whips. And spinach rolls.

How? And what will be back to normal? PKing? Merchanting? Staking?

:lol: Yep. I think that these revenants are kinda like a PKer which performs perfectly, at the right time, brings the right stuff, and everything else. Ouch. So, I guess that people are scared of the wilderness now? Have you ever thought that this is what the Wildy was meant to be? Maybe that is the way the wildy was meant to be, but it isn't the way most players want it. Most of the revenants drops are worthless; they may be challenging but they're all risk no return. If they had drops worthy of their difficulty, then, yes, I might feel better about them.

It's not a matter of beating or not beating, their attributes are FAR beyond what is manageable in f2p. Jagex can make lessers lvl 120 and say they can ice barrage us and give us a warning, it doesn't make it right. At least we should be able to use some of their uncanny magic spells back on them in the very least. Why.. So you can beat them? On f2p you get 3000 gp as the BEST drop okay. So either way its a waste of time, and like they mentioned, you can RUN AWAY, or STICK AROUND FOR A NASTY FIGHT. I'm level 117, and I choose to run my [wagon] off when I see revs over level 105.. why ? Its a waste of time :roll: Get over your ego since its obvious that you're bothered by the fact that you can't beat all f2p monsters anymore :wink: Or, get p2p, since you yourself mention that they made the revenants for p2p players who have better armor/weapons. Don't jump to conclusions . I haven't bothered 'fighting' them, I have only encountered them when mining rune, and the damage they do is far beyond what f2p can manage. Yes I run, even when the level 68 attacks, why? Because it does bloody 20 constantly. I have no intention of joining p2p anytime soon. I'm speaking generally here, it's beyond the scope of what the general f2p population can handle. Well beyond. Infact when the wilds were normal, I didn't have to do as much running away from pkers, not all pkers attacked, it was truly based on level, I didn't have level 60's coming and attacking me, and most of the time people my level didn't attack either, because 2 lvl 100 f2p's fighting, it takes forever to land a decent hit. And sometimes you CAN'T run. Why? They can teleblock, entangle, and cast ice spells.

Here's the thing, KrazyFaken never intended for his name to be offensive. It was a bunch of wannabe mods that reported his "offensive" name. The name is not even remotely offensive, you have to manipulate it several times before it becomes offensive. With this in mind the following names should be considered offensive: Butch Batch Botch Skunk Spit Bull Bass Ace Cant Cent Ship Shift Fudge Funk Nagger etc etc.. Where does the witch hunt end? All of these words are perfectly acceptable in everyday conversation, but leave it to someone with a perverted mind and you get an offensive word. Jagex should not be catering to this minority who see vulgarity in a name only to report it to boost their chances of getting their silver crown. A very good read once again Qeltar. To true... But, what is so great about being a P-mod? Don't you just have one or two added abilities?

It mainly affects members? Are you KIDDING me? The whole F2P economy is built AROUND PKers. So, even if you aren't one, you will still feel the affects of the update...

Sooo true. I dont mind em myself, although i have never been slaughtered be them. I killed a lvl 75, not sure wat it was, and i got 75 coins. It took about 3 minutes to kill i think... But i do like the update, and I'm sick of all the complaints. The revenants DO run, tele, freeze you, attack you in groups, heal themselves with food and heal poison, and they can walk through obstacles AS WELL as being equally adept with all three points of the combat "triangle." Yeah. They're a REAL big improvement.

I'm level 83. I went into the wildy with the Mos'lee Harmless rapier, the upgraded mind helmet, and gold smithing gauntlets. I found me a lvl 60 revenant hobgoblin. And it killed me. I got it down to half health, and it started healing. So yeah, if I had had food, and better armor, I would have won. Or it might have teleported...
