Mary Jane. ;) Prop 19 in California would legalize the distribution of it, basically. It would be taxable, which is reason enough for it to be legalized, as it would be a HUGE help to California's economy.

[spoiler=Lalalalala in da hood] I'm logging out in your picture. You did that on purpose, jerk. :(

Yes indeed. I'm a pretty progressive liberal, so I'm all for legalization. This'll be the second election I've voted in. B)

Find TheAncient's guide in the AOW. It's very comprehensive.

99, and it's called a steel titan in this game.

Mage Slaying
I mostly agree with this, and DEFINITELY get the arcane stream as soon as possible. It's a tremendous help. I would say surges > claws of guthix (with charge and a void mace) > waves. Can you use a wolpertinger? I wouldn't recommend mage slaying at all without one. You can use it to access higher level spells, too, and the scrolls are so cheap that it wouldn't be a big deal to just re-scroll every two minutes. I would also highly recommend that you get soul split, otherwise healing is going to be an issue on a lot of tasks. I mage slayed from 86-97 magic, so I have a lot of experience with it. It's really not for the faint of heart. It's expensive and definitely not worth it if you don't have an arc necklace, wolper, soul split, and SoL/void mace. The most efficient thing to do would be to wait till 93 slayer, then just get your mage experience from ice wyrms tasks, but I personally mage-slayed because I wanted a change of pace, so I understand.

Future Update Discussions
I'm hoping the rewards are really over-the-top this time. New weapons and useful skilling items are cool, but I want something BIG. REALLY BIG.

Future Update Discussions
YES!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the update I've been wanting since Dungeoneering came out. OMFG. New goal = 120 dungeoneering, omfg. Thing outside is a seeker, but wtf is it doing outside? The warped floors look perfect. I'm so excited. EDIT: Seeker is probably a new familiar. That'd be a good way to get us to dungeoneer more - rewards that we need to buy over and over again like summoning pouches.

Frost Dragons
If you use ranged, your yak should be able to keep up. Bring a couple summoning potions just in case.

Adjusted goals slightly. Going for 99 dungeoneering instead of 85. Warped floors are gonna be out soon, so might as well go all the way.

He right clicks on The Ancient twice. Once during the fight and once in the bank. Thought that was kinda cool.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply properly; I was eating. You're right that new bosses could potentially make old bosses obsolete, but you have to consider a few things: - Dragon claws are unlikely to be topped by any melee spec weapon any time soon, even with new bosses. On top of that, they have a very high effigy rate. Safe. - DKs drop the second best rings in the game. These rings are needed to make the best rings in the game. Furthermore, we probably won't be seeing a new boss drop something better for WCing than a dragon axe. Safe. - I HIGHLY doubt that we'll get a boss within the next few years that drops shields that top the divine. Safe. That leaves GWD bosses. Zil and Kril have been "obsolete" for a while now (though I would argue that Zil is still somewhat relevant, even though her drops are pretty much useless these days). Kree and Graar drop the best ranged and melee armors you can get. Furthermore, Graar drops Bandos hilts, which are still in demand for corp teams. I would imagine that new bosses would drop gear that makes Arma and Bandos armors second class, but second class is still very much in demand by mid-level players, poor players, and safety-conscious players. I just don't see new bosses drastically affecting the relevance of old bosses all that much. I stand by my claim that new bosses would drastically cut down on crashing in the long run. Though I argued that many old bosses would remain relevant, I don't think that progress is bad. If ALL the afore mentioned bosses were rendered obsolete in favor of ~10 new ones, I would consider that a good thing for Runescape as a whole. EDIT: To elaborate on my last paragraph: If old bosses were rendered obsolete; if their items plummeted in price because of new, better items, armors like full Bandos and Armadyl (65 and 70 defense armors, respectively) would become more widely available to players. I would actually prefer to see players with ~70 defense and ranged using armor like Armadyl. Of course, this doesn't work for all items (I'm looking at you, spirit shields), but I personally think that 138s should be using level 90+ armors; in other words, armors befitting of their levels. /two cents.

Armors like Bandos and Armadyl can never be obsolete. Barrows has been around for YEARS and it's still going strong (barrows isn't a bad way for high levels to make money, incidentally). If less people are camping Graar and Kree, prices will balance out. Correction: they will never be obsolete so long as GWD becomes the only method of obtaining that armor, just like barrows. However, if you look back to the drops from early boss monsters such as the KBD and the KQ, I think we can safely say that they are obsolete for the average player. And why would it ever change?

Read what Squareroot just said: introducing new stuff wouldn't necessarily decrease demand for the old stuff. It just spreads the players around.
-
An Elitist's View on Crashing
Exactly. That's the whole point of introducing new bosses -- to clear out the old ones. Best case scenario: They've been working on new bosses for a while now. If not, they should start soon. I'd rather them be working on it than not working on it.

It comes back to my original suggestion: make new bosses. I mean, everyone likes new stuff, right? It would alleviate the situation, give us new toys to play with, and give us new ways to have fun playing Runescape. It just seems like a win/win situation to me.

What's your point? That it would be pretty easy to fund more servers when you can fund an entire convention for free? They would have to make a LOT more servers. While I'm sure they could afford it, they are a business and their goal is to make money. They're not going to take the expensive and more complicated approach.

Elite Void
I'm pretty sure you have the same bonuses as normal void. The only difference is that elite has a prayer bonus. And yeah, you can use elite parts with non-elite parts.
