i can guarentee you they don't ruin pc, clans do. they force everyone out of the world by beating games every minute. lvl 70-90s make up the majority of pc games if they are not clanned. they do not ruin it, they are the best players to have in a game because then low leveled players have a chance at getting 50 damage before it is over. On the contrary, having low leveled players only means that the void knight gets killed more often than not. on the contrary, level 100+ people just leave the knight open for attack and just kill portals and spinner, if even those. anyone below that level usually has the sense to guard the knight and defeat the rangers outside the gates. that's called coordination, if you switched places doing that too, you wouldn't get bored as easily. Sir, you know nothing of pc. Those people aren't guarding the knight, they're guarding their exp interests. And the only thing that clans do is speed up exp for everyone. If everyone had the same mindset of attacking the portals, each game would be less than one minute. And people who can't do 50 damage shouldn't even be in there. 50 damage is highly plausable for a level 80-90 with a rune scimitar.

Fire giants. I almost cried.

I thought that all these rants about PC makes xp "easy" meant instant levels. I found PC to be one of THEE worst and THEE most boring thing I've ever done. I'd rather stand around and afk at Magic Axe Hut then PC anyday. I'm sorry but doing the same thing over and over and over again for a month straight (or months straight even) to be HIGHLY boring Thank you. There are many more fun things to do that offer marginally lower exp, or even higher (the thing I'm doing now \ ). You can't complain about pc unless you sit attacking portals for freakin ever.

60-80k an hour isn't blisteringly fast?! Did you ever play RSC? 15k an hour was blistering fast on RSC. I got all 100 combat on RSC at 10-15k xp an hour and 99 melee stats at the start of rs2 before barrows, ape atoll, slayer, whips, dragon scimmies, PC or any of that crap. I never got more than 30k an hour and you say 80k an hour isn't blistering fast?! Same thing with range. I got 70 range on classic and 97 range at the start of rs2 with a bow and arrows. Combat is supposed to be hard. Cooking was just as fast as it is now on classic. Combat should not be a 100k an hour skill and it is RIDICULOUS that you can get 99 range and 99 mage without firing a bow/casting a spell. I despise PC. It was Jagex's biggest mistake by far and is the main reason I feel like quitting this game. In terms of RSC to RS2, I completely agree with you. There's literally no counterargument to your post. However, my post is in current day comparison. People NOW feel like slayer leveling to PC leveling is imbalanced, and I don't agree with that notion at all. In responce, there is no wya to compare how slow RSC leveling was to anything within RS2 to make it seem fair. I would know; I was there.

That's my point. It's fast, yeah, but flaming christ is it BORING. It's not like it takes a day, it takes months and months of constant playing to even begin to touch 99 str, def, or att. It's not fun, it's just a faster alternative to more fun combat training. But I completely agree with any magers or rangers who complain about PC. Getting 99 range naturally deserves a hell of a pat on the back.

So, many of us have heard the arguments from long standing players that pest control is overall a cheap way to get lots of combat levels fast. Obviously, this is true. I've shot up 1M exp playing every other day for a few hours, and plan on getting 99 attack through there. I see their point. If i had gotten 999 attack training on a hellhound with a dragon long for 40-50k an hour, I'd be amazingly mad that jagex would put something out that had as much exp given within the few weeks, and continues to do so currently. It's not exactly unfair to long time players, but it undermines the 99 skill for them, I'm sure. however, the rate of exp was tremendously slow before then, and if you compare combat skills to others (fletching, expensive crafting, cooking), it seems like the exp rates are half as fast as cooking sharks on a fire. Well, nevermind, it IS twice as slow, if not more, than cooking big fish in rouge's den. So was it really that big of an increase? I get 60-80K per hour with points fluctuated in by being in Heart Unit; one of if not the fastest PC groups in current RS' perspective. Compared to skills like cooking and fletching, this is below par for even the most baisic exp routes. Fast exp? Yes. Blisteringly fast exp? No. I still have hundreds of hours to go for my nice red cape, and I'm sure some of you guys can contest to this fact. People who have gotten 99 attack before PC came out simply treat players with 99 capes as if they just snapped their fingers and got it. Most of you, hopefully, know that pest control requires many months of contant portal slaying to get to significant levels. And, it's not fun. At all. Shouldn't organized groups like Heart Unit get the best exp anyways? it encourages clan growth, and isn't that what people have been screaming for under the suggestion board for years? Or maybe I'm crazy. Discuss. -GC

You're missing the point. It is a simulation. And it's not pointless. a simulation could be pointless because we don't know if there's a set limit of kills before you can get an item. plus, he doesn't really know the odds of the draconic visage being dropped. these are what scientists call "variables" and they do not conduct an experiment, or in this case simulation, until they have all variables under control, except for one, in this case, the number of people in the test. you can't get accurate results without having the variables under control, the simulation is pointless because it doesn't have them. He's just stressing a point. No, it does not give solid facts. He's just basically saying what should be obvious, and that is that it's all about luck. This "study" isn't supposed to prove anything. It's supposed to tell you that sometimes you just won't get a drop of a goblin armor from a goblin after 800 kills. wait a minute, some people don't know that? :shock: wow... people have gotten stupid... If you look at the first 2 pages, you'll notice a lot of people who seem to think that this topic is an actual expiriment.

Our avatar still has the old, basic number of polygons that have been here since the release of rs2, even though we look at them more than anything else in the game. Dont you think we are overdue for an update? They'd have to update every single piece of armor in the game. That would take sooooo long.

Barely. I end up ancienting for fun (and to numb the fact that I'm on a 200+ dry streak), and I dds karil + msb/knife ahrim.

Next person to say anything like this gets hit with a giant stick that says "AJ926 has a 200+ dry streak" I've had a 29 dry streak unlucky me. (I usually have 30-35 dry streaks)

WHO CARES? The dragon halberd is PLENTY strong. For a cheap item that can kill black dragons, I don't want something that will DEGRADE.

Oh my god I am lol'ing so hard

I LOVE YOU. That made me laugh for amazingly long hours.

I got like 9 gems from Tzhaars yesterday. I think, most definately, there was an increase.

All I know is that I'm going to loot A LOT of verac helms the day it comes out.

lIK I DUN UDERSTAND WHAT DIS IS SAYING?wq hOW IS DID GET WORK AWO? OMGAW tHIS iS RUBiSH I HATE SLYOU 8/10

ATK- 99 STR- 99 DEF- 1 PRAYER- 1 Yes, I go into malls and stab people twice in the gut. However, when someone pulls out a bow, I'm all but done for. Oh. And Herblore 99.

ALERT THE MEDIA. Strangest place I have gotten a lvl up? Well, you see. I did not expect 82 attack from striking a man in the wilderness. Nor did I expect the combat lvl up to limit my ableness of killing this man.

Couldest thou findeth thine PC noobishness?

I won full saradomin from a "Where's ____?" competition. It was really amazing, because at that time I was completely broke and it has kept me on rs to this day (2 years later).

Yes defence does own high attack and strength if you trying to last the other player out. But the pure has superior hitting and koing skills, designed for killing the other player before they can outlast them. I do agree that pures seem to become less useful as they become higher levels, but I make tons of money pking, and I'm fighting pures that are 10x better then my in pking skills, probably better then most people on tif... I'm sure most of the rune pures that you have fought have killed far more people then you, just because you can outlast them due to your superiour defence, don't instantly brand them as useless and lacking the skill to kill people with higher defence. Fair enough, I agree with your points.

ouch. another click...my life is ruined... oh well, lower pure ess prices + higher nat prices=me more rich :thumbsup: Thank you. =D>
