Hey, I support your idea. Add me to a list of supporters. Can anyone tell me though, has Jagex ever listened to us from this forum? Just wanted to know what the success history was. Thanks. ~Kaeloc

I think its a very good idea. There needs to be as much ability for expression in how we look for mages as others. ~Kaeloc

I agree whole heartedly. I really like the way the bank can be organized also. ~Kaeloc

You have to realize that because some people are cheating this is going to effect everyone. There are very few things you can do without effecting other people, and cheating is not one of them. ~Kaeloc

Look I agree with what you guys are saying... What you need to realize is that as far as making bots that play tutorial island and do just about everything else, is that if someone wanted to they could make a bot that played the entire game and the person would never have to do anything. This idea is just suppose to make it harder on the bots/sweatshops. I never said anything about this fixing the lag. Actually, I rarely have problems with lag on my computer. Also, there is never going to be a perfect solution to all the problems in the world. You should know that. Again, we are trying to get these people to interact as much as possible with the game. Making them do the quest would be more interacting with the game then they are doing right now. Another idea to make the quest harder to "macro it" is like in the shield of array quest. Make it so that players have to cooperate and work together as a team to complete the quest. The problem is that it is very hard if not impossible to keep people from selling accounts and RS gold for real world cash, but we can make the people only playing to sell engage with the game more. Honestly, do we get more angry at the lvl 3 "botter" that sells gold for real world cash, or the lvl 90 that does the same. It's the lvl 3 that we get most angry at because they are not playing the game the right way. By making them do more of the game (eg quests) we are forcing them to engage more. ~Kaeloc PS The quest requirement points should be high enough so that the botters are required to have done at least a couple additional quest before they do the wc one.

Yeh, I can understand that. Possibly the quest should have something like the ernest the chicken one, where you have to do some basic problem solving. ~Kaeloc

Intro Since everyone knows about the problem Jagex is having with the sweatshops and stuff, I will just go right into the discussion about a solution with explaining the problem in depth. Solution I think that Jagex should make a new quest for the wc skill. Like if you wanted to chop willows you would have to completed a quest to gain that ability to cut them. Sorta like the runecrafting quest. This would make the people working in the sweat shops and for money to do more then just cut logs. This way they would have to engage in the game a little more. I mean, it is pretty easy for the people running the sweatshops to say "ok, this is a ax, click on the tree to cut it. After the tree disappears wait the cut again.". Because the wc skill is a easy skill in that you don't have to buy numerous items. All you need is a ax. And when those lvl 3 can cut yew, then are still using bronze axes. But with things like fishing and stuff, nobody is going to buy shrimp in loads of 'k'. So some requirements for the quest should be a certain lvl of crafting, fishing, and combat. This would make it harder for the sweatshops. What we want is for these people to have to interact with the game more then they are. I just thought of this idea after reading about the problem. This plan will not stop the sweatshops entirely, but then again, if someone wants to sell something it is sorta hard to stop then. This is just to make it harder on the sweatshops. It can be refined alot, so sound off and give me your ideas. ~Kaeloc
