never been to Pc. Seriously. My friend wants me to go with with him so i might be doing so soon.

Because players with brains get annoyed by Jagex' irritating warnings and things you can't do because some people refuse to think. Yes, in this case nobody is negatively influenced, but this was the case with the ditch, and whatever may come next. This is the ridiculous argument i see often, you feel you are clever enough to not require these things and feel burdened by them even if they have no practical effect??!! The it insults my intelligence just being there argument is that of a child trying to impress others. Sorry to quasi-flame but you asked for it. As for general trend, i.e: if they make the game fool-proof you will have more fools, that doesnt stand up for even a second,people will not get 'stupider' because the game protects them from fraud.

Low detail because my computer is an rtard.

People deliberately facilitating the death of someone is this way is horrible and i will always try and avert that persons death, however if someone just plain dies because of lag or not paying attention theres not much you can do other than take their stuff and if you are a saint pm them (if you had time to get their name) and hand it all back.

ANY time someone says they think they saw autoers, someone says they are Chinese money farmers, and that you should say Nihao to them (meaning hello in chinese apparaently), i kill green dragons a lot and i decided to test this nihao theory, i saw some people i thought may be auoting and said hello, hi can you help me , can you answer a question etc.. no response, so i said Nihao, no response i dont know any chinese so couldnt expand on this. The thing is theres no way to KNOW if they are autoers/chinese labourers/real players at the keyboard with all chat off. Thats why i don't report people at drags, because I don't want a blackmark for false reporting. Just ignore them, or kill them but you can never be sure what they are.

wow some of you have doen some pretty reprehensible things. i know its 'just' a game but come on have some decency. The 'meanest' thing i've done is lie to people that ask me to be friends thta my list is full, because i can't be bothered conversing with people who only want FREE STOOF.

was eating a banana when i read this :thumbsup:

sling shots maybe, really fast not very strong though. Its really hard to think of a serious weapon thats not already in the game.

ok thanks, um farcasting then is um what mages do/ have done since the game was invented, thats the whole point of mages surely.

I know its off topic but what is farcasting?

I like the rune defender for 2 reasons, firstly you don't need to be rich to get it :), secondly it looks pretty cool.

Its Free for all yes, but people don't play it that way, they team untill the team wins then they kill each other. This is a way of maximising your chances of winning, a game like this is meant to bring out your ruthless qualities, don't take things personally when they aren't.

For me the most useful skill is magic because without it i couldn't teleport, alch, or blast things with erm blast spells. Without teleports alone the game would be broken, The least useful skill is firemaking, because in p2p you don't need it to cook (there are ranges near all the good p2p fishing spots), the only use I have for it is the shades of morton mini-game.

We come from the same country, and thusly live with the same rubbish. People are morons its as simple as that. They will do whatever it takes to be accepted by people they look up to including but not limited to: murder, hurling abuse at strangers, trying to attract mates(sexual) the same way that wild boars do, ganging up someone weaker than them to prove their strength, mocking the poor, mocking the rich, mocking different races/religions, destroying other peoples property, being 'ironic' etc... These people are WEAK, they are sheep and should not be tolerated let alone looked up to, but hey what do i know? Unfortunately i'd say 5% of the people on this planet would F*** you over to get something they really, really wanted, if you think that im paranoid/mad i think you may not realise the world you were thrust into. I'm not a total pessimist but i am aware of a large minority of people that are (and theres no other word for it) SCUM.

The only people i fear in the wildy are ancient/modern duos, none else can kill me because i dont go above 20 wild and always bring teles (i do go further but only for clue scrolls which i have now stopped doing). I don't know if a strength pure my level can kill me easily or not, but i do know i have never been bested in melee combat (a mage once ensnared me, teleblocked, sara striked and ko'd me with dds specs but that doesnt really count as melee anyway). To me it seems that the best way to pk would be to be a hybrid, high range/mage with a dds. Also i think a lot of pking is down to luck, a good example of this is when i was f2p and in the black knight place and got attacked by someone 10 lvls higher than me (im fairly sure it was 10) i ran from him, then thought no ill fight and hit him really high for 5 hits while he hit 0's. I laughed at him and then he hit me really high for 5 hits and i hit him for 0's, then we hit each other for 0's for a while and we mutually discontinued the fight. This guy should have dropped me because he had every advantage, better stats, armour and weapon and yet after 5 minutes of fighting there was nothing between us. I would say that was lucky (for me :) ). And after that essay i havent really addressed the point of this thread, as someone wiser than me has already said a charachters ability to fight player vs player comes from the person at the computer, i have seen countless people die in the wildy with lots of food and teleports on them because they havent been paying attention (not lag since they were talking in most cases). So to summise (and repeat what has been said by others) no charachter is useless based on their stats. Its all down to the player in charge.

The point is not that it doesnt take longer, the point is that due to the random nature of using the abyss, making the trip to the teleport spot 1 second longer is irrelevant because there is no standardisation. You can't argue you are losing a second because you in actual fact cant tell if you have or havent. That is game set and pwnage. All you whiners lose. Edit:took something out which would get me flamed :)

We have a winner, thats unarguable. Anyone posting after this beter be agreeing with this guy (because i know how touchy people can be i'm saying this tongue-in-cheek you can of course post whatever you want).

I want to be the small but loud voice of reason here. Runecrafting nats is THE BEST WAY TO MAKE MONEY IN THE GAME, it is MEANT to be slow to stop it being stupid like, OMG i can make 1.7 mil in an hour and basically making money useless. - that paragraph is for all the people saying that runecrafting is already too 'hard' (hard is the wrong word, it isnt in any way taxing mentally or physically it is just SLOW) I see this update as a solution to one 'problem', luring, now its harder. The secondary effect is that is slows runecrafting down, maybe this was intentional maybe it wasn't, i don't know, i'm sure if enough people complain something will be done to balance it. I personally am not bothered, but then again i don't make my money from runecrafting. What this update proves is that a number of people will complain no matter what changes Jagex makes, it also proves that people are prone to exaggeration :).

cool is temporary, power is not (unless you mong it up). Remember the 80's/90's, think what was cool then and ask yourself if its still cool, whereas the stock brokers who made loads of money(and by extension accumulated power) during the same period still have that money and by extension power, if not more. I'm using a very stiff definition of power that i nabbed from a business studies lesson i had-Maslow, money=motivation. Motivation being the way of making someone do something that you desire, i.e:use of power. Edit:This doesn't fit exactly for Rscape, but i felt like answering and this is the first thing that popped into my head.

I did it at lvl 70ish maybe 72 i forget. Used fire bolt with chaos gauntlets (btw not that much worse/slower than slayer staff), got completely lost and confused in the tunnels, killed the 6th brother with about 10 health left got some runes...woo. Next trip i lagged and died to Dharok in tunnels :boohoo: . Been back a fair bit since (i'd imagine at least 100 times now) i have gotten two barrows items, both veracs helm.

Yay, almost everyone is happy!! I guarantee you that is all that Jagex wants. A happy customer is a repeat customer. I like the world switcher.

TS_Stormrage: what it comes down to then is that Guthix is not neutral and is Primarily (almost certainly only) concerned with the balance of the planet. In which case why did he create beings capable of various emotions and wants? Surely this is the only thing that could threaten the balance. Unless he didn't create the mortals of the planet at all... To analogise(is this a word?-if not it should be) things, say you had a ball and all you cared about was the ball why would you cover the ball in hundreds of ants that could potentially damage the ball? A very strange analogy i know but apt..at least i think it is i have a curious blind spot when it comes to analogies.

That thought occured to me the first time i did the easy route and got no encounters, however you cant guarantee no encounters and i still think its slower than the 'shortcut' through Mort Myre using the boat.

Exactly! :) You just wrote what I did not manage to write. Many people look at Guthix as a good God since balance is usually a positive word. But in this case, balance is equally negative. Its actually, not positive at all, but totally neutral. :D neutrality is not the same as balance and not like being the same on both sides like a scale it is like balance in life like homeostasis Good point again mojo477! Neutrality is diffrent from balance. It is true that we need good and evil things to make things balaced. Without good we have no evil without evil we have no good. Without that the world is nothing. Without good and evil the world is nothing? Incorrect, without good and evil you merely lack (suprisingly enough) good and evil. In fact there is nearly a word for that anyway Eutopia(i say nearly because a eutopia is generally associated with happiness which is i guess an aspect of goodness). Guthix isn't neutral because he would intervene if things swung to one side, if he was truely neutral he would NEVER interfere between good and evil regardless of the situation. What this discussion comes down to now is semantics, what words mean, no word is accurate enough to describe what any one person thinks is good or evil let alone what everyone thinks is good or evil .

Exactly! :) You just wrote what I did not manage to write. Many people look at Guthix as a good God since balance is usually a positive word. But in this case, balance is equally negative. Its actually, not positive at all, but totally neutral. :D The thing is Guthix cares about the planet as a whole and its welfare, which is great in a lame hippy way, now i can see that having a world full of evil mortals would be a bad thing for the planet, but i don't see how having a world full of good people would be bad for the planet, unless all the Sara monks industrialised :) The fact is that Guthix will restart the world if things get too hectic, this shows that his concern is not with mortals at all but the planet alone. He is willing to do anything to keep the planet safe, INCLUDING changing the existing balance, so Guthix is not the god of balance and neutrality at all, but in fact a being obsessed with one goal. Also hints to the fact that his existance may be linked to the existance of the planet.
