I never understood this. Is there actually skill required in flats boxing? If so what makes one guy better than the next? Sweet stakes though makes me miss it

You were still 1 iteming, grow a pair

The name calling isn't necessary. Oh sorry Mr. Safety Patrol, are you going to tell the teacher on me? If someone wasn't to "be called a name" then they don't need to be jerks themselves. Plenty of people care we can only stake 40k on f2p, and just because he's not one of them doesn't give him an excuse to be all pissy. [/hide]You're allowed to trade an unlimited amount outside of staking, so I don't see why an arbitrary 40k limit matters to you there. There's also this great place called the wilderness, where you get everything your opponent risks when they die. You're also allowed to compare inventories, so if they're taking a teleport you don't have to fight them. That allows way more than 40K, and if you can't be creative enough to get around it then maybe you should just pay the $8/month and buy membership? Remember, staking for F2P was only introduced AFTER the wilderness was shut down, so you're actually better off now than you were back then. Are you trying to say that someone would just trade over the amount they promised to stake? The wilderness, where people will just run away when they are about to die, or call their friends in? I used to love PKing, mostly before rs2 since rs2 pking requires no skill really, but staking is nicer sometimes if you want to have a straight up fight to the death. I shouldn't have to "get around" the 40k limit, but yea you are right that I'm better off now than I was then. The members world is just too big now and there's too many ridiculous items where you can do like 80 dmg in 1 hit. Plus, membership is $8 now instead of 5?

Anyways do you pretty much of to be flats to effectively kill revenants for drops?

Thoughts? Who cares. Can anyone confirm that green dragons are P2P only? Seems last time they introduced a wilderness area, a few P2P monsters (hellhounds) became F2P too. Um douchebag? Who cares taht green drags might be F2p? 40k max stakes is like a slap in the face to me.

Not really into cars, but I remember you =p

Are you a member? Yea Jagex really doesn't care about appeals at all. I've been banned for 5 years and they have sent me the exact same response on three different appeals.. They don't even have evidence for what I did wrong, and they said I was banned for bug abuse when it was autoing on RSC way back in the day. Jagex customer support is a complete joke to me.

I wouldn't pay for a f2p world unless you could do it where you pay money per month for as many characters as you want. I used to like having several different accounts I could pk on, whether low 20s, level 8 mage, r2h pking in the 30s, or whatever. I'm not going to pay $15 a month so I can pk with three accounts, even if the server had as many people as the old f2p worlds used to

Nice topic Meili, was hoping to hear from you again now that RSC is back =). Are you still playing? Ionly got on the first few days it was open, are there people pking now or what? I don't know what to do with myself there. Great post though. You could add a section about low level pking, like Level 8 mages, the huge battles of level 13s, and the addy/mith 2h pkers in the 20s, then the r2h pures in the 30s, arguably the most profitable pking levels. Also you should post this in general chat, while it's nice and nostalgic for us, a lot of the RS2 players might be able to get an understanding for why we love it so much. Also mayb eyou could post a few videos at the end with a brief description that were popular back in the day and represent what it was to have fun back in the day. Some videos that come back to mind are the Nemesis KKC video, Santa Thugz' low level mage video, and U P K M E's high level pking videos.

Lol hey, <--- Ki11a Pick1e

Maybe they do read it, but they don't give very appropriate templated-responses. I've done probably five different appeals over the past 4 or so years, and every single bloody one was the same, and none of them addressed what I was actually saying in my appeal. They never once gave me a reason other than something along the lines of, "You have shown that you are not willing to follow rules so we have decided not to unban your account. You obviously care about your account, so take the time to read the rules here. Feel free to start another account and become a member to see what new updates Runescape has to offer!" Jagex customer support is straight garbage.. Do you think if I made them members for my next appeal they would actually read what I was typing, or at least post a reasonable response to my appeal?

A couple times it was only a few days. Most of the time it was about 2 weeks, and it one case, a few months.. They no longer have evidence, or even a reason for me being banned (they said bug abuse, but it was for autoing), and they still won't unban me after 5 years. I've seen in appeals on two separate accounts about three times each in total, and EVERY TIME has been the exact same automated response, even though I have given a different appeal each time. Way to go Jagex customer support!

Okay thanks for the advice. I'll probably continue to merch until I have 40ish mil maybe then buy one. Only problem is I feel like I've maxed out on the money I can make because I can't find good items to buy/sell. The ones I previously did have been going crazy with their prices lately. If anyone can PM for some extra advice on some items I could try that would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone provide some insight? Mostly I want to know if I can/should buy santa on G.E

I know this isn't about PHats or anything, but every day I'm usually logging on RS for a few minutes to update G.E offers, and that is the extent of my RS playing. I've managed to make around 26m since the beginning of summer on f2p items only, and limited knowledge as to what is currently going on. I know the updates but don't really know what they mean for the economy. The past week I noticed I was having a hard time buying or selling some raw mats, and also noticed certain bars have crashed in price pretty bad recently. What exactly is going on? Also I'm debating whether or not to buy a Santa hat once I get enough and just stop "merching." Can I even buy a Santa? Should I wait until I have like 40m and then buy one so I still have some to merch with?

The irony was the fact that you were asking why someone would try to go through a skill quickly that they didn't enjoy, but I see that you are simply saying why bother to level it at all. You make a good point, but the way skills are set up by Jagex, there are a lot of situations why you might be "forced" to level a skill up. Take for instance quests. A lot (if not most) quests have requirements in skills that you won't enjoy. Also there might be awards in those skills (such as herblaw since that's what we've been talking about in this topic) that might be worth getting even if you hate going through the leveling process. As far as your last sentence, I'm not going to bother responding in depth beacuse thats a whole other argument, but basically I think people think that going through with the pain of leveling stuff they hate will pay off by making things more enjoyable once they are done with it? You make a good point in your second paragraph, but I honestly think people should still be able to power through skills if they choose. People who like doing everything on their own can do exactly that, but people who like to merchant/pk/stake/monster kill for their money and just power their skills should be able to do that I personally think.

[/hide]The part that I don't understand is why people feel the need to rush for a 99 in skill that they don't enjoy. It could be that they want the status of getting a 99 that most people do not have (whether due to the amount of work that needs to be done, or the expense). Or, perhaps it's so that they can "strike another 99" off the list as they go for a high skill total. There's a point in there where most people lose the fun aspect of RS and start playing the game only for the game's sake. Now, I'm not going to tell you how to play. However, I do not think that Jagex should be expected to offer these methods of training. PS: You can probably tell from my stat sig which skills I dislike training. :razz: Okay first of all I want to say I agree completely with Brian. I don't understand all of these elitist attitudes of people who think they are better because they put more time into the game to level up skills instead of "buying" them or whatever. Anyways I wanted to point out how ironic this statement was: Why rush for a 99 that you DON'T like? What would you do instead? Take your time doing something you hate doing, or get it over with? You said Jagex shouldn't be expected to offer those methods, but you could say the same thing about the training of skills boringly and slowly. Just like you worked hard to level up boring skills, some people worked hard to get the money to level up the boring skills fast. Who are you to dictate how people choose to level their skills?

No, you are pathetic for flaming people who said what they thought about it. Nobody is saying they're better than him but the people who didn't think of this as much of an achievement had their reasons. This is just page 2: You are calling me out for flaming people lol? Why didn't you say anything about the 10 other people who flamed the original poster? Just as they have their reasons, I have my reasons for thinking these people are idiots. [/hide] All of these people stated that it isn't an achievement because he stood around doing nothing, and no I won't say anything about them because if you read my post I also said I didn't think this was worthy of a rate. If you're going to post in rate this then you have to take the good with the bad, the OP doesn't seem bothered by these posts so why are you flipping out over them? Just stop spamming this thread, you didn't even post a rating or anything contributing to the achievement haha. But it is an achievement to stand around clicking on pixels all day? Okay 10/10 I rated it. By defending him aren't I employing it is an achievement worthwhile?

I honestly don't know what the game was designed for because I barely play, and I'm just f2p. However it seems like the same thing as Pest Control. That is a complete load of crap that this is bug abuse, people did the same thing in PC pretty much. If this wasn't what it was designed for they would have said something. Having a character like that won't hurt anybody, although when I was pking on f2p I fought a character who had 88 str at level 55, which is somewhat unfair. Oh well, if they put the time into doing it that's their choice. you have no room to judge anyone, you just look like a little arrogant [puncture]

Oh haha, thanks man I just read the first page. Do people still merchant p hats even with the G.E?

Nice character, that takes a lot of dedication! How did you make all of that money? I know the gathering skills on f2p won't make that much, and plus you have 99 buyable skills which are a money sink. I'd guess you got the rares a long time ago when they were cheaper, or you just merchanted with the G.E?

All of your ignorant morons get off your high horse and chill out. You say he didn't accomplish anything, as if you clicking for hours on end is actually something to be proud of. Would you rather him have posted 99 fletching like the other 50 million threads? You guys are pathetic.

good luck, my old main was banned in the mass bannings of '05. I sent in my latest appeal earlier today too :? Good luck to you too then haha. I still feel like they went about things wrong back in the day, but I can understand why they did what they did. I will not understand how they don't unban someone for something they did 5 years ago, the differences in a person's personality can change night and day over that period of time

So you know how you have to lock your account when you send in an appeal? When are we supposed to unlock our accounts? I got banned during the mass bannings for autoing back in 2004 or whatever the year was, I was 14 at the time. I'm 19 now and have really matured since then, hopefully Jagex is reasonable enough to give me another chance. 2nd chance appeal and account review thread didn't unban it so we will see. I've always had hope I could get it unbanned after all these years, and this really appears to be my last shot.
