9/10. good guide

Id be a footballer which would be strange. Also i may be 60.

1)god complex wth are you talking about? 2)every single post you've made in 3 months has been negative. To be blunt. [bleep] OFF, you no longer play the game, you see no value in it so stop posting on its forums. You do not have a special insight because you played a lot and have now quit.

Having caught them both yes spotteds are faster but not by much. good guide, one more lvl of info and it would be perfect (by this i mean you say 'catch this till this lvl and in this place' but nothing more).

To the few killjoys bashing people for celebrating their generosity: there are people in real life called philanthropists (sp maybe) they give away money/ create charitable funds/organisations, they get plenty of media recognition(which they seek) and probably feel (rightly) that they are the dogs bollocks, would you knock these people? (i know its just a game but generosity is generosity and should be applauded). edit: haha american censor.

I recently runecrafted 3000 natures in teh abyss i got attacked 3 times, one entangle-no deaths, i am so up for screwing these guys over, all those saying its pathetic the way rcers complain abotu rc pkers obviously have never run the gauntlet, its horrible watching them eyeing you up waiting for an opportunity to kill you. They stand there sometimes in groups of 10+ not even contemplating attacking each other (because they dont want a fair fight), they are almost immune because they basically have a non-aggresion pact with each other, a few kamikaze runs would almost certainly disperse the crowd and bring calm to the area. Funnily enough the propaganda war has been won, everyone but rc pkers hate them, real pkers (people who have seen lvl 20 wildy) mock them and they are rarely successful. A hard life for them maybe we should start an appreciation society for these poor fools. Disclaimer:i know the wildy is designed for p2p combat, i know that the abyss is in the wild to stop it being easy risk free money and exp, BUT just because i acknowledge that there is a risk doesnt mean i cant be angry at those who pose that threat to me.

I would quite like to know what jagex's profit is per annum, i assume that Jagex is an LTD rather than a PLC so we'll probably never know. Its nice to say our revenue is 5 million a month but for all we know they could be losing 500k a month. Edit: also if Jagex is an ltd they are under no obligation to release any financial figures and thusly they might be lying :evil:

A well written article, one point of contention though. Comparing emergent behaviour on earth and in Runescape is erroneus. From the moment life began everything that happened afterwards was emergent behaviour, it happened because there was life not because life chose to make it happen. I like emergent gameplay in my games, i love the fact that people set up rune running companies and that people merchant, however thats were it ends. I have been called food noob after eating, the the self same person after taking a 22 hit from me ate, called me a noob and telported. There is no honour, there are no honourable pkers, they lie. They say no food, no prayer because they are almost certain they will win, but if they start to lose they throw their honourable ideas out the window and eat/pray. To say that any pker is honourable is incorrect because they specifically hunt people who are weaker than them(as of course it shoudl be), its more than a bit funny to see a lvl 104 in ancients calling a lvl 85 in half rune a noob for eating while be barraged. This all boils down to the question 'is it honourable to attack someone weaker than you and try to impose limits on their ability to defend themselves?' if you're answer is yes then you just failed the IQ test.

unless you met a bunch of ingrates 'often' is the wrong word, i am often openly generous and only once has someone failed to at the least say tyvm (that person was a lvl 108 LOL). Perhaps you expected more in the way of thanks than i did, perhaps you actually did just meet rude people, i'd suggest that you probably just have you're anti-rose tinted spectacles on.

Jagex is almost certainly going to improve the graphics of everything, they are doing this because they know improving graphics will help keep/attract new players. I would imagine that Jagex wants to produce the best product possible rather than produce a product that is just good enough to make them profit. I see no reason why a dragon platebody wont be introduced. If Jagex wants their game to continue to be successful they have to update things. I am aware that it must be veeeeeeeeeery hard for them to introduce new powerful items because the balance in this game is so precarious (look at all the furor surrounding the barrelchest anchors release for evidence) but that just means they have to plan carefully. Jagex seems to like aluding to changes in-game, so i wouldnt rule out anything.

I wasnt around when you could duel anywhere, was this an option perchance where both players had to agree to the duel? if so i want it badly. Apart from that there are maaaaaany things they could do to improve the game, none of which are in my head at the moment... The game would benefit from being more dynamic, i have no idea how they would go about achieving this though (wow i suck). Edit: it would be interesting if Jagex introduced a questline with a massive war (or they could expand on the ones that exist). A real conflict that can't be solved by one adventurer alone mayhaps? It would make the game feel mroe 'alive' if there was a war between two factions that was ongoing and had visual signs of this e.g: a war between the humans in the Varrock area and the vampires in Morytania (sp?) would involve random scirmishes between gaurds and vampires on both sides. Just a thought.

I may well forward this picture to Jagex,i just hope theres time damnit!!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather have D full helms come out instead of plates. Honestly though, Dragon isn't that great anymore. A D Plate wouldn't be as good as anyone thinks it would be. That was part of an April Fools joke though. Actually im pretty sure a dplate would pwn everything in the game, seeing as the dchain is nearly the best armour (melee) anyway. The cost would be astronomical though if it was every released.

Yes that's 3 homeless!!!!! [bleep] yeh!!!!!!!! Classic episode.

Criminal gangs/syndicates often have their fingers in many pies, pies you might not think of. also it's not uncommon for 'criminal' gangs to make the majority of their money from 'legitimate' trade (not saying selling rscape gold is legitimate). The people doing the 'work' will not be gang members just people coerced into working for them.

The problem doesn't lie with autoers or goldfarmers, it lies with the frooblets who pay real money for ingame currency. without these people there would be no goldfarming. If the age requirement was increased (and this was enforcable) it would certainly help the problem but it isnt practical. I have people on my friends list who have bought runescape accounts and gold, they are all imature (duh) and are incredibly impatient (why the hell do they play runescape??!??!?! but i digress) and see nothing wrong with paying real money to advance their ingame charachter . This is not suprising to me as we live in a world where almost any problem can be circumnavigated by throwing money at it. As for Jagex solving this problem, its not going to happen theres nothing they can do without risking banning 10's of thousands of innocent people. China doesn't give a [bleep] about anything but China and i guarantee they don't give two [bleep]s about a company damaging a game, so no fix there either.

I would take out the sandwich lady, she always appears when im fighting somethign rock hard and dont really have time to chat to her about mother [bleep]ing sandwiches. In real life i would have embeded an axe into her skull by now.

I'd say slayer, but to be honest slayer is a combat skill because it involves combat, regardless of the xp not going to hitpoints. Apart from slayer i'd say thieving :). Thieving because you can actually make quite decent money from it and its not intense (pickpocketing isnt much different from the resource gathering skills).

10 mins, i just spam the login button, i VERY rarely need to got to world 2 and would never do so if i didnt have to. Imagine if their was a place like world 2 in real life..oh wait..anyway glad im not a stock trader.

Berbatov60 06votabreb - Votabreb is an awesome name.

Yes, this needs to be implemented by Jagex, i am perplexed as to why this format hasn't been introduced yet, The bank is probably the single most used feature in the game and quite frankly as it is now is woefully inadequate.

I dont see why having an untrimmed fletch or cooking cape is a bad thing unless the person autoed to achieve it. They still had to earn the money and then do the same thign over and over, thats all anyone does to get a skill cape, repeat the smae thing many,many times. When i see people with ANY skill cape i think nice cape, they must of played a long time . Thats all nothing else, i dont envy them, i dotn get angry at them for supposed 'cheapness', nothing.

for those that aren't uber (me) and cant fight dagganoth kings, then things like fire giants or jellies given the conisstantly good drops(i know to alot of you these drops mean nothing but meh). Iron/steel drags drop Great stuff but unless you get a dragon drop then you are losing money.

I tend to try and help people and i find it hard to say no, so i spend a small amount of my time ingame helping people, i'd say the majority of people ingame will help you if you ask nicely, i've given out small amounts of cash to random people in random places quiet a lot and answered peoples questions when i can understand them.

In a game where 'skill' is actually your ability to do the same thing over and over, it seems a bit churlish to say that agility is boring....but it is, i did the brimhaven course from 43-44 took me maybe and hour and a half and i was doing it with other people (so a race) that was 2 months ago, i wont go back till i want all skills over 50 then i will never touch it again. @shadowbot:you are absolutely right, i also think you should gain xp passively (from running or the VERY good example/ideas you had).
