Fairness

Personally, I won't give a.... cupcake.

I saw the other thread, "If you could choose one skill you could live without, which would it be?" Well, it's easy to give an answer as there are few, if any people who enjoy and/or use all skills. But what if this was the case? You get Attack, Strength, Defense and Hitpoints, and those only, plus you could choose 3 skills you are going to use in the game. Which would they be? Warning! If you don't choose firemaking for example, that means you couldn't make fires at all! Not even from normal logs! Likewise, if you don't choose Magic you can't cast any spells at all, not even the home port... (though you can use teleports like fairy rings, glory amulets, barbarian sceptre etc., bear that in mind). For me? Mining, prayer and magic. Btw, HITPOINTS IS ALREADY A GIVEN HITPOINTS IS ALREADY A GIVEN HITPOINTS IS ALREADY A GIVEN

Oh damn, I was thinking of a video that'd show why nobody will play RS in 6 months. Oh well. I personally don't even give a crap about new graphics tbh, might as well fix the ruined gameplay instead.

You can hunt people too. Logic doesn't apply. "Hunter" is an idiotic name made by idiots. Probably worth a rant more than *insert any bad update other than no wildy and the trade limit*.

Heh, I know I said it right here. Probably mixed it up in the post. *facedesk's himself*

Hmm... I think the guy will try to fix the whole PKing aspect. No sane person I know or should know likes BH and no RWT more than PKing and RWT. I would have a few ideas that would likely be a good compromise but then again, I don't feel like having anything to do with leading RuneScape.

Only myself.

Interesting topic. While I'd rather see a more player-friendly anti RWT measure first I'll still share my opinion. Firstly: I think that the amount of 'report points' you get could be dependent on a few factors: -Minus 0.5 report points per 1 blackmark, report points are rounded down. Decimal value blackmarks have no effect. -x2 if you are a Pmod. Pmods should, however, be choosen more carefully. Abuse of Pmod power should be an immediate ban IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. -A bit more if you have been playing for long enough. Only active playtime should count, and only while you break no rules - bonus points are all negated as soon as a single offence is committed. For the others: Report system requirements - the quest for a report system idea is, no offence, idiotic. I don't want to go through such a stupid quest with every character I make for fun, as I don't want to do the tutorial island again and again either. Requirements for reporting is also stupid. Yay, I can scam weaker players with less risk because they might not have played for long! Yay, let's swear at that level 3 and pester him because he might not even be able to use the report system! There shouldn't be a requirement for the report system, the other factors will make sure abusers are banned. An optional but recommended guide to reporting would be a good solution, with a nice big warning that misuse of the abuse system will REALLY ban you. Consequences for misuse - okay, the 5 chances might be a bit much. It should be a looser system, with reporting someone calling you "noob" being less strict than reporting someone more intelligent than you. (the two can't coincide very often, or?) Or give 2 or 3 chances and if you make a bad report afterwards, time to start handing out the temp bans! (evolving into a perm ban if repeated) 5 chances is plently of time to be an @sshole. (And no, that's not an offensive word.)

Heh heh. I don't remember the last time I turned any of my chats to "friends" or worse. Whenever I do, I always feel like I'm missing out on something. As for who I play with... well, there's this one friend I have. I basically got him as a friend when he was just a newb - I felt like giving away some of the junk I smithed. Then he wanted to be friends with me so I was like "Why not." Since then, I've quitted 3 times and came back so many times (though the quittings were much, much longer), and now he is a member who by the way owns me in everything except, well, f2p skills :) (MINING, fishing, crafting, grammar :lol: )

The old mining animation? That was excellent. I could have just banged my head against the rock before, I feel. Anyway, mining rocks.

I think f2p deserves free members because with our undying support we really deserved it.

Giant Spider too, just recently. Was leveling a level 3 account (don't ask why), and with the gravestones I thought I could just suicide train and disregard food.

Things you can click on and thus consume, because of accidents. (Pumpkin etc.)

Adding my comment, it seems that the guy directly above me said it more than I ever could have (and there's a compliment for you!). RuneScape is just boring. Though while we're here, why not make RS3? From the end of this miserable version with the whole RWT thing we can see where Jagex failed. Then we can make a better RS3, with a new beginning. And perhaps realise that RWT is impossible to stop in basically any game where there are at least two people who don't feel hostile to each other... ever.

^Combatho :lol:

I'll take this time to evaluate all the REs that spring to mind. The classroom one.... Wow, I get 1035 mining exp (atm) which I could have gained by mining tin or whatever while I was doing the exercises because the drawings are so crap, now may you leave me alone? The genie is brief, and although the reward is useless, at least I can click the lamp, then the pickaxe and forget about it. Sandwich lady, Niles etc. and the others who give ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF ANY VALUE I hate with a passion, though not being a combatho I don't hate it so much as a few might. Frog... Go away, I had 10 tokens until yesterday when I ditched them saying that I will never wear this ugly piece of cr4p anyway. Other clothes... Mime: fugly, Camo: meh okay, I keep it in case I want to have some fun, Lederhosen: stupid task for stupid outfit, tbh the hat is okay but I usually wear the reaper hood anyways. Odd-one-out: fun when I get diamonds, not so when I get a cabbage. I don't care for 1k, it's like OMG R1CH!!!1! or what? Molly: I always forget to take a good look at Molly and end up missing the twin sometimes because of that. Great. Rubies are cool though (or whatever she gives atm). Flipper game: DIE! I'd never do this even if I got the gems and not just kebab. Mystery box which multiplies: bad, keep it away. And now let's give out some praise for a change. THE MAZE. This random event is so great it's not funny. I've only had 3 mazes I can remember, but the last time I got 150ish Chaos runes, several steel arrows (got it while I was ranging, even! Goody) and some mithril ore, plus a nice load of fire runes from a chest. Oh, and I never was disappointed with maze results. I'd sell my body for more mazes. Nah, change that, mazes are worth way more than sexual intercourse. Mazes are worth two eyes and a piece of your nose. Mazes rock.

I would be extremely concerned about both, but unfortunately my attention span isn't that long, except for mining (which at level 69 also is boring) so I just accept that I suck.

When I came to the topic I expected a topic about what change would you have made to prevent RWTing or that sort. A pity.

Lol, I use the same password on all my accounts. If my main gets stolen, I'd just quit even more than before, and if one of my lower accounts get to the same fate, I wouldn't care. That.

That's a newb comment, not a noob comment. Now here comes the very slightly edited version of my evening's experience! Scene: Stronghold of Security lvl3, at giant spiders. People: Me, 2 noobs, 1 guy who was just killing spiders, 1 guy who I talked with later, giant spiders, small spiders. Note: The noobs had no grammar skills, but since it is too painful for me to recreate their writing, I'll do okay grammar with them anyway. Except sometimes. Warning: May not be suitable to young children. First part: (It all happened out of the blue) Me: *killing giant spiders* Giant spider: *says nothing* First noob: Jannak (love how everyone spells it so) Him: U nub Him: Stop Me: You need a full stop too. Him: ? Me: You don't know what a full stop is, do you? Failure to go to school, I suppose. Me: Period. Him: ? Me: Ah, I see. Him: U idiot, u fail Him: Lag Me: There is no lag. Your comp fails. Him: ? (I love how he is so clueless.) Him: Noob Him: U have aids Me: Eloel, okay. Him: U know what it is? Me: Artificial Immunity Deficiency Syndrome. Fail, much? Him: Let me explain it to u Him: Your mum and this man Him: They had fun in the bed, but ur mum had this disease Him: The end Me: The end? I wasn't even born yet. :-( Him: Ur mum had aids, so you got aids too Him: U *** Him: G Him: @ Him: Y Me: (I don't usually report anyone, but this one was asking for it. I go through a door and report the guy.) Him: Ahahaha Him: Sad Giant Spider: *says nothing* Him: He reported Him: Lmfao (why can't these morons type in one line instead of one word each line? The editor) Him: Now I'm gonna report you too Me: o_O for what? Him: Offensive Language Me: Oh, sorry, have I offended you? :( Here, take this cake. (I don't give him a cake btw, I don't even have one on me!) Him: Who ate half of it Him: Your fat mum? Me: No sry, I ate it. Him: Ewwww, this cake has aids Me: *sees him eating something* And he ate it!!! Rofl!!! Him: Wtf no Me: I saw you do that! Doesn't matter, you'll soon be muted anyway. Him: Lool Me: Yep. Even slowpoke Jagex will get you. Him: Do I look like muted? Him: No Him: Lol Me: *facepalm* After a few meaningless more insults, he shuts up. The next noob came meanwhile. The first noob doesn't speak any more. Him/Her (Him for future reference, though I'm not sure): Who is the noob here? (while we're here, if you guys are interested in their names, i.e. want to harrass them, ask in PM :)) Him: I guess it's 61 (me atm), not 80 Him: Noob Me: Very smart. So because I'm a lower cb level that means I'm a noob. Genius. Me: So combat level is all, yes? Him: No (at this point I'm confused) Him: I think money is the problem Me: *collides violently with desk. Arms dismembered from me gnawing it off in my pain.* Him: I'm playing on my pure, not my main Him: You can see it from my name Me: Overused pure name... yep, I think I got it. Me: Too bad your wildy is gone, so your account is useless. (Note: I'm all for the old wildy, just wanted to ticky numskull #2 off.) Him: (after a minute or so) You know, I like to have fun in a bed... if you get what I mean Me: Yep. :-k Him: Sometimes with guys Me: Are you a guy or a girl? Him: Girl, duh (at this point I wonder what he meant with sometimes... sometimes he has fun with guys or he sometimes has fun with guys?) Him: Do you want to see my videos? Me: Yes please Me: So how can I admire your beautiful curves? Him: Go to redtube . (0m (wtf? I report him for advertising rule anyway... one noob is a thing, two is almost too much fun) Him: Are you on the site? Giant Spider: *says nothing* At this point a guy also here tries to warn me about the site. I'm like, "I'm playing along - ssssssssssshhhhhhhhh :)" He actually claimed he went to a site - it's a porno site and he also got a virus - though he removed it right after so there was no trouble for him. Thanks, though I sort of figured that out myself :P Me: Yes! Him: Okay, go to the first video, that's me I stand between two doors and go browse some forums for a minute. Then I come back and say: Me: Oooooooooh, beautiful! Can I see more of your videos? Him: Sure, the others are about me as well. Him: Sry, I've got to go now. Cya hun ,I feel like making out now(after the convo I try convincing myself for about 5 minutes that he was implying me being Hungarian. I don't succeed.) My friend comes on at this point so I cut the convo short. I quickly reply before she can leave: Me: Why didn't you play with your main then? 'Cause it's banned? Me: With all the stuff you just said you could get about 15 blackmarks. Him: Wtf Me: Advertising for a start... could probably try reporting for offensive language as well. Him: What are you talking about, I did nothing Me: Just joking, sweetheart. ;-} (this is the warmest, most love-full smiley I could produce at the moment. I just realised he/she was about to have sex and I shouldn't disrupt his/her experience. Or? I did report him for the advertising though.) Me: G2g too, bye! <3 Well, frankly, there are many days when I don't meet any idiots. This made up for it all.

He telegrabbed your arrows? How many telegrabs did he do? 10? 20? That's a few k gold pieces wasted. I don't see your problem, you just owned the guy.

While I was mining in the Guild, I was shocked to see Mod Mark (yep, with the gold crown and all) log in next to me. He pmed me saying that I'm a complete idiot for still playing this game, and as thus I'm banned. 5 seconds later I got booted and as I tried to relogin, I saw that Jagex sent me a message. Yep, that's right, I got 30 blackmarks and the offence was unappealable. The end.

Well, it didn't help. #-o And that's where the problem lies. Wilderness was the main PK place anyways.

Well, a rune miner is the one who needs to have a good escape plan, if you fail to click the logout button in time. ALSO! I think I'm the first one to agree with the topic creator. I posted a few things that Jagex would have made to improve on the situation without letting RWTers run rampant in the "another update against people with less rl money" topic. (It is impossible to stop RWTing as long as this game is multiplayer tbh...) Clearly this is not the only solution, which means it's a bad update.
