  1. It's been an awful long time since I made a post on this forum. This is also due to the fact I quit for a while. So to make it up to you I got 4 new 99s.

     

    The plan was to get all 4 99s right after eachother, but I was too much afk with cooking so I got that on accident :P Anyway, screenshots say more than words I suppose. So without further ado:

    As you can Imagine 99 farming will probably be next, even though I decided to stop fruit trees/trees and only stick with herbs for the last level. After that I'm thinking right row 99 and I might slowly start training melees again through slayer (attack/strength).

  2. Finally got around to getting 99 mage!! Got the last exp with livid farm. I have been away for months, but back in business (: Won't be playing as much as before though.

    Getting the 99 together with Octarine who got 99 crafting, losing half of the messages ;p

    Stats as of 12-8-2011

     

    Main focus now is on mining, farming and runecrafting. At the moment mainly doing Livid Farm to stock up on points for the coming update.

     

    Thanks :D

  3. Wouldn't more people feel disadvantaged that they can't use their money a little more on bonus exp for some skills however?

     

    After all, it's likely the money would go further for some skills.

     

    Why would they feel disadvantaged? They might not be pleased but this is only because they would have wanted to raise their buyables instead of other skills. The only players that will arguably be disadvantaged are people who have lower levels in the skills I named and therefore have less possibilities to train.

  4. Okay, so you argue that buyable skills should be left out because it "saves" people money and such.. Now I argue why you only want those certain skills left in? It saves people time and in the end saves money since the time they used can be used for moneymaking. Say you save around 10 hours on a skill. Making 500k an hour, that's gained 5 million for that person. When before they wouldn't have got that.

     

    EDIT: Although that 10 hours is off..I can't be bothered doing the math again..I might be able to find it somewhere.

     

    These skills require way less money which means that a significantly less (I know i'm "only" using utilistic arguments) amount of people will feel disadvantaged since cash is something some people are able to aquire really fast while for other people this will take ages. And if you are the one making amounts like 200m in 5 hours, a buyable without bonus exp wouldn't be a problem now would it?

  5. I think if they'd make another bonus exp weekend they should consider only doing a few skills leaving most buyable skills out, I'd say agillity, mining, wcing, dungeoneering, runecrafting and hunting are good candidates. The advantage gotten by the certain players who will play this certain weekend will be significantly less if you don't include skills which normally cost heaps of cash (e.g. herblore) or heaps of cash and time (e.g. summoning, gathering charms before the weekend). Also if you only use the skills I named previously, you will have a significantly less influence on the economy, ofcourse some items will go down after and up before (e.g. rune essence and runes), but this can't be compared to the out of proportion prices of herbs and summoning seconds before the update.

  6. My vote goes to raising the cap. You can still get 99, you can still get a cape, it's that you can now go further and get use out of it: Combat Level, better skill use, easier times in the dungeon, etc.

     

    Everyone moaning that it'll make their efforts meaningless seem to not notice that they still have the level they built up. The cape is still there along with the 99.

     

    It's like those that moan movies made from their favorite books and other movies. "They DESTROYED my favorite book, They RUINED my favorite movie, blah, blah, blah". Your book and movie and still there along with your 99 in cooking. You can enjoy those or go for something new. It's called PROGRESS, either ignore it or go along with it.

     

    Well said.

     

    Not really, the point was that although the 99 is still there, it wouldn't be nearly as impressive. It's like bragging about having full dragon when there are much more impressive sets of armor to be owned.

     

    Scenario:

    Player A: I have full dragon (with the platebody!) I am the best because I have the best metal armor!

    Player B: Not really, I have full 3rd age melee, a newer addition that costs almost 10x what a full dragon set costs, and has better stats.

    Player A: Well, my full dragon is still here. I am staying in my little rut and not going along with progress.

    Player B: (lol) Whatever...

    Player C: It's ok Player A, I didn't progress any further than full rune...

     

    Isn't that the whole point of runescape? And yes 3rd age is more impressive than full dragon, so is having 104m exp more impressive than 13m. The point is just if it should give you an advantage, and I'd say yes because it is MORE impressive, some people like training a certain skill, making it more rewarding than just earning ranks in highscores Id say is pretty fair. Maybe a skillcape at 120 isn't the way to go but there should at least be some way to show off your achievements.
