MODS, PLEASE CLOSE (LOCK) THIS TOPIC; AT THIS POINT NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE REAL DEAL, BUT ARE MORE INTERESTED IN OTHER USELESS RANTS I'm retyping this one because the original copy got locked for profanity, I guess it does really matter in a way how people express their thoughts. This rant will not have any profanity, but my honest opinion. If people disagree, that's great, if they agree, that's even greater, it's all opinions, and are which what I want to see. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's see.. people complained about merchanting and auto bots.. and now there's player mods. Then people complained they didn't do anything even though. Jagex clearly stated they do NOT HAVE TO HELP ALL THE TIME/OR REPORT ALL THE TIME!! Wanna-be Player Moderators - Just wanted to add to this one, this is also a big case. "oh my gosh, I have just reported over a dozen macros, think you can submit me to be a moderator mr. Moderator?" That is what most people ask. But this really applies.. *hehe*,' Beggars can't be choosers! *seems more better if it's beggar's can't be chosen" WOW, I have seen a lot of those, I tried to be a mod once, but I gave up, it's just not that worth it, you get a nice crown and the ability to mute people, still reporting people is still the same, you just give the person the same amount of blackmarks a mod would give, even a regular player. But then again there's the player mod center, it's just like a forum, for mods. So I'm not saying that you should not try to be a mod and try to act immature, but act mature and play the game the good way, Mod wanna be or not. Cause man ever since 1 update Jagex made the chances of being a player moderator is 1/10000000 *over it* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's see another thing, now there's buy-x and infinite stock.. which is awesome!! Let's see people were complaining about auto buyers and now they have what? Buy-x ...and infinite stock. How much easier is that!! Except the attack runes (mind, chaos etc.) got a bit of an increase and the others got a little tiny drop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- String-x People were complaining that stringing's so boring. And that spam on the official forums: Z0MG H@X0R B0R!NG" and stuff like that. And now we have string x, but they complained .. "It's too slow!!" But at least you can relax while stringing.. and at least JAGEX DID SOMETHING!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Littlekidscape -- runescape is being populated with.. immature kids ages probably 6-possibly 12.. lower than the "standard." What is it like for other games? Runescape's population of players is probably lower than most other MMORPG games. And how many kids and flamers, non honourables do you think they have in the other games like everquest, knightonline, World of warcraftt, and other stuff I've never probably heard of? How would the other people feel? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Randoms... look , it's RANDOM I lost my dragon ax head and this person I had to get for it back, apparently I had to bribe that person 500k to get it back, but then my friend complained about it to Jagex and what happened? The ax head random event was removed from the game, see what happens if you ask things politely? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No-Lifesm.. Having no life, no lifing, who cares? Everyone HAS A LIFE!! but the proper word is NO SELF CONTROL It's ok if you play a lot of games, just as long as you go outside once in a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taking things for granted.. Jagex made these updates to help people enjoy the game more, give it more of a challenge. Apparently some people took it too far by making 1 def pures and stuff, that in their imagination, can apparently "OWN" level 600's at the god wars. Then they complain and what happens? They get their just desserts; but they still don't think "Hey I should've trained instead of complaining, and if I keep failing, try again till I succeed!" I got this idea from the Tip.It times newsletter: I CAN DO IT BETTER THAN YOU article. Please appreciate what you are given. Well that's why there's the "RSOF" or the RUNESCAPE OFFICIAL FORUMS~~ If you don't like it either still? Then ignore the skill and get on with the game. But what if it's for a quest requirement? Train it! In reality you gotta do things you hate to do. -I just realized something... Some people, there's an update, and they like/hate. The people who hate, rant and rant and rant about it, rather than learning to deal with it. So Jagex' changes the update to make it more "suitable" for the ranters. Then later on the ranters take TOO MUCH ADVANTAGE OF THE CHANGE and then the positive people rant that the undeserving get too much goodies; then Jagex makes it harder, and it goes on back and forth.. back and forth... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Online dating -- It's immature and very very very sad. It shows that you lack the confidence to ask out a girl in real life, which is not a big deal but come on why resort to online dating? They don't even love you. Don't online date, it can lead to many many bad things, why do you think teenage.. yeah is a big deal now-a-days? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skillers/merchanters -- Well I don't like them, but only thing I respect about merchanters is, they're very persistent and patience, and patience is a WONDERFUL! characteristic trait. But they don't want to train skills, but still make money.. That's like saying you'd buy a nice triple stacked whopper but only eat the bread! And others just want to have high stats without having a high combat to kind of show off in my view, I mean so what? It's what the want. They do what they want, you do what you want. Well in my opinion, I'd stick to one main account, I won't pay for another account and most accounts lead to account sharing and multi logging and account to account transfer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GET OVER IT-- People get over things in time, sometimes never, so don't rush them to just forget about things, be supportive. I am sick of reading posts like these: "Kid, get over it"; "Get a life lol"; "Grow up and forget about it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New comers -- Read the manual or guide, follow the tutorial ..correctly because the higher levels are pretty upset about newcomers get extreme updates and headstarts while they had to start from scratch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update failures.. Let's talk about that new update of 30 seconds or 1 minute before your item apears before other people after you're killed. It has positives and negatives, every update has positive and negatives, that's life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leet speak or elite speak -- **Someone correct me on this one* I'm sure it's cool and fun to some people, but it's.. disgusting to see a 16 year old or whatever talk like," Hi, hru 2nite?" Leet speak is not cool, it's not smart either, doing that too much, I've seen and heard stories, and truths about how people spoke and typed in leet speak for so long, they actually failed 4 years in grammer and spelling, had to take speech and all for 5+ years for doing so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zezima -- That's right, 1bill exp (wow that is a lot you know), still plays runescape for over 8 years, a sophomore or something In college now, Congratulations to him. *kudos kudos** ... But everyone complains about him, they sort of hate him but when they seem him, they ask for free items. He's in college so that's good, and so what if he's #1 in a MMORPG game, that won't really get him anything, so just let him be. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Newcomers, part 2-- Guys/girls.. mostly guys; asked for more help, and support in their newbie days. But they just ask too much! It's insane how spoiled they can be! They've gotten a lot so give Jagex and it's 300? or so workers a break! If others have to start from scratch, SO DO YOU NEWCOMERS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hacking -- I have never been hacked in my entire life, even though I feared of being hacked that's normal however, but the fear grows the stronger you get in the game, I already know someone who took my identity for their hotmail and everything else. Take the advice your parents, friends, teachers give you, never ever open the sites that are marked red by the Mcafee site advisor or Mozilla's firefox. They're advice is what protects you from trojan's, keyloggers, and the new virus "Bubbles" Apparently 70% of all hacks are from, people who tell their friends their passwords and account share, 21% are from key loggers, and the 9% I have no idea how they get hacked, possibly a easy password guess. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forums -- Wow I learned that boy do I need to make my anger posts filled with less "profanity" and offensive language hehe. Tip.it or "runescape official forums, I've seen PAGES full of locked topics. Wow honestly, post something resourceful and where it belongs. *don't forget the maturity of the post too!* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rants -- I've been thinking, and I've seen posts about rantings.. of course :P.. But.. I see the rant title, then again there's let's say "Macros destroying runescape economoy", then it'll say "Macros destroying runescape economy!! 2053+ Views~~!!!" Are they seriously ranting, or are they just making post complaints to get a hotspot in the forums.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spending -- I has money, What I do wif it? That's the question most people ask, I have asked too, but I didn't get a single good reply. The best thing to do with surplus money, isn't to spend it or invest (unless you know it WILL RISE OVER TIME), it's to save it, you'll never ever know when you'll need the money --------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spamming -- Here's a biggee, people complained about the clan chat that many "kids" were spamming so much and they have the mods boot them, then they'd complain how bad the clan chat was on the forums. Spamming is annoying, but at the same time, there's the IGNORE' LIST, so just ignore, relax, and snore. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looters/Bossy -- I was mining at Crandor earlier, as usual, but this isn't a rare case, it's very common among other players. Whenever I fight a random, people tell me that I'm a noob/nerd for using prayer while fighting a level 159 with no armor and fists or a rune pick/woodcutting ax. Since I am level 111, they do not call me Heaven, Flash, or even Heavenflash (heavenflashg), they call me by numbers; 111. Well I have someone taking my runescape username as their own account and telling all over the world that it is him not me. I feel as if I lack identity, that players now lack identity, due to the laziness/rudeness of some others. Well continuing; I have someone asking why I mine there, and I replied I always have for a while, and the person rudely replies," If you're out for coal, mine in guild" he exclaimed harshly while I was fighting a rock golem, he was just standing there hoping for me to die. I found that pretty rude since he, himself have not taken his own advice and was mining where I was, and clearly doesn't care about the challenges others have to face, that he avoided. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Killing (Pking) I put this as a separate file, because it is a big deal now-a-days. Pking Pjers and no honor in pking.. look.. what does that tell you?.. Don't really pk.. or try again sadly, but there's.. staking! And this person from tip.it made a semi official world for honest stakers. Not sure if it'll be crowded with "NH" people again but who knows. Staking has a win win, or a lost lost, pking has pjers, telers, flamers.. PS: Staking makes a LOT OF MONEY, no kidding some people make 400m+ a day!! No Honour/Honor -- This is a big deal since now: people teleport, flame, and always "safe" - Nonsafing is how the enemy wins, Safing is how to stay alive till the food runs out then you're doomed. - Player jackers/jumpers/Pjers - these people just fight in hopes to get both person's items from the fight, but there are looters all the time so What's the point... - Saradomin Brews - It's a potion, it increases defence and heals hit points, but only by 15-17, but it reduces the attack stats, which isn't essentially good when fighting but why do people consider it cheating? - Flamers - why do you vent such frustration in a way that'll lead you to being banned, then rant about being banned on the forums and say You didn't do anything wrong? Staking -- - A Win or a lost, at the same time, there are still cheaters and there are still the infamous, notorious x-loggers, who by circumstance cannot deal with the facts that cannot win, then just log out in hopes of not losing anything. -Many people toggle movement off but it still happens, why? Because for the system server to detect someone has logged out, let's say 15 seconds to detect a windows being closed, and that person has to defeat the x-logger in that 15 seconds or else, X logged. - There are positives and negatives about staking but there are equal amounts of each other, compared to pking, which has tremendously more negatives than positives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luck Luck.. I am very lucky at sharp moments, but very unlucky 90% of the time. But that's life man luck's just a part of life, some parts are good and some parts stink. This applies to many things, as if skills, which I've seen many people complain about, yet at the same time, sometimes it does seem that luck gets a bit unfair: -> a level 90 miner losing to a level 45 miner for coal -> 90% of the time it's a kid, and 145% that kid will brag and rub it in -> 45% of the time the level 90 miner will probably complain about it in the forums *more to be added soon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Goals.. It's hard to resist, accomplishing something feels good right? It feels good to accomplish things, goals, and dreams. But on rs, accomplishing something is so easy and short that .. you just love it!! You can achieve a LOT in rs or any other game but think of this whenever you intend on making a goal: How will achieving that help me in my life, will I get an award? Will I graduate from college by getting 5 99's in a year? .. But seriously don't make goals too big, like : After cook 99, then I'll get fletch 99, then this 99, that, then 200m cook experience.. Don't make goals like that, make them small and simple. And if problems grow still, don't even think about that goal, if you have trouble with that; write in a journal, write:I don't need to accomplish a game goal, I'd rather be a.. professional .. football player! or something. From my experience with so many goals, I wanted this and that,.. everything!.. I spent about 10 hours a day playing runescape and outside I saw people playing games and having fun.. I felt so miserable. Now I'm getting a bit more mature, got a dog now, he's annoying but still cute and working my way up on some things, so really don't keep game goals, keep it real. Many people disagree with my Goals... section but we all have our reasons -- Final P.S, you'll have no idea how far people will go to achieve runescape goals now-a-days *Seems this seems to offend people, there are positives about having goals, a post(er) mentioned that it does add some perseverance and patience to obtain that goal, which is extraordinarily good since you have to be MOTIVATED to keep on that goal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maturity This is a biggee, I'll tell you that. Maturity, major characteristic number 2, *number 1 is patience, well the numbers only show how many there are, not how important one than the other*. I couldn't help but see how people I got in "fight/arguements" couldn't still get over our little conflict and even threatened me, read these following' dialogue: Person: Wtf do you want, go get a life kid. Me: I'm not sure who needs a life, possibly the both of us. Person: Only you do stupid nerd, why don't you meet me and my bf and I'll deal with you Me: You mean your online boyfriend you're so addicted to that you even call each other every night and you even play till 1 A.M just to meet him? Person:... wtf are you talking about?.. Me: *insert person's online bf's name* Person: we're just friends lol we're not dating Me: well anyways, whatever you want to believe because just because you believe doesn't mean everyone else does, or say what they really think, and if we were to meet, where? real life or in game Person: both, I'll kill you Me: Over a game conflict? That's pretty barbaric... besides there's something that exists called a LAWSUIT AND JUVENILE Person: Whatever nerd kid, grow up and apologize to me, call me when you grow up, Thank you. <-- *at that moment, tries to act mature after the conversation, then removes me off the pm's list* Some people think that they have matured, or are mature than others, I am not mature than anyone else on tip.it unofficial forums.. tip.it forums is unofficial right? or official? Sometimes, the best way to deal with a problem, is to ignore the problem, and use the not-so-good stuck-up attitude to think, Hey' it's not my problem, because it does help in sometimes, but not all the time. As again, sometimes the best way to deal with a problem, is to avoid or skip the problem, instead of taking it like a man. *This conflict lives till today, and is still going on, but I don't really care, it's just having someone completely out of nowhere follow me and call me a nerd *insert person's name* and say that I better apologize, apparently that person likes to tell their "friends" to gang up on me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Was my rant, even worth ranting about? Apparently, no I do not believe most people barely agree with my rant, rather they'd go with something I have ranted about and pointed out the uselessness of the rant. But my rant, I spend a few hours on it trying to motivate people into seeing the truth and all, but nope, doesn't help... Others rant about bad luck, no honor and stuff, then get 500+replies and everything and people seem to be highly motivated and moved by the post which only took let's say... 4 minutes or so to type, rather than something that takes a couple hours to think of clearly. Obviously the point is, what was the point of trying to "help" people when the help is rejected... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Special Notes: ** Jagex does do something; it just takes a while, good things take a while to be made. That is all for now.. until I find more examples and cases of problems. Thanks to anyone who took 5 or 10 minutes to read my post.
