Last night, playing FoG, I noticed that many of my opponents averaged 20's - 30's on me, even though their spells have a max hit of 12-16. My magic level (I think?) is 87, and I was using the protect against magic, and mystic might against them. I also had GOP robes on... Anyhow, this is one of the things that skews the combat triangle: passive magic defense. While in full rune (and having high magic), people in robes still splash on me. I'll have to check and see if Greater Demons give more XP, if so, they may be the new thing I train on (with silverlight).

I think I might try and make a buncha nub accounts to freeze all variations of my name... You know, for when I'm more popular than Zezima, and I can make sure that there's no one named Sees_All(####) Come to think of it, no, I don't care that much. :D

I can't believe you were all freaking out. e.e I think the concern was pretty valid, especially since the original post by the JMod didn't indicate that. Glad to see they made skill total worlds more relevant.

I disagree. Because I disagree so much, I'm going to tear your points apart, one by one (sometimes not even full sentences, but I'll knock 'em down anyway. [Here I call you a troll, and tell you to go away instead of ignoring it] [brings the heat] I'd prefer it if they put the decimal point in... mentally its what I've been doing anyway. TBH, this update helps more than it hurts. My max hit with a rune scim, str ammy, prayer and pot used to be 24, while the amulet of power was 23. Now my max hit is ~245 with str ammy, and ~239 with power ammy. Also, the monks in edgeville heal more now, 185ish each instead of 18 (for me).

To be perfectly frank, they probably don't give a damn. If they did, they wouldn't have done it. Don't tell me that someone who's spent MORE THAN A YEAR of their time PLAYING A GAME doesn't know the RULES TO THE GAME? Each and every one of these players had to have known that there would be consequences for exploiting this bug (especially because of all the other cases of bug abusers getting banned). If everyone in game was moral, there wouldn't need be of any rules, or moderators. But that isn't the case, and here we are. I also think that we, those that don't cheat, have a right to be ticked off at those who do. GF cheaters.

Your point is completely off topic now, and my advice is still good: PVP worlds will have less people looking to train, and less people in general. The points you made are exactly the reasons why my advice is good. Yes, you do risk a bit for better training, but that shouldn't make a difference to someone with half a brain.

That's a pretty successful shared account / gold farmer... having logged 1k days without getting banned. I wonder how many of these gems are floating in game....

no, and its typically frowned upon if you bump your thread if it hasn't fallen off the first page. There's no point putting your thread from #5 on the list to #1 - if people love/like/hate what they see they'll post.

Rune platebody - 70k Rune platelegs - 50k Rune kiteshield - 50k Rune full helm - 20k Rune gloves - 170k Rune scimitar - 35k Rune 2h - 50k Total risked: 450k for basic rune, more for trimmed or god armour. They do work the same way - there's less people training in a PvP world. They are a little different in the fact that a P2P world has about 5x the area to spread people out, so you're even less likely to see someone. Also, if you're risking 10s of millions while monster hunting, couldn't you spare 1k for a teleport out of there? Whenever you see a white dot on the minimap, get out? If I can spend 3 hours training at moss giants in F2P, not seeing anyone during peak times, shouldn't you be able to do the same? Also, getting away in members should be easier as long as the area isn't multicombat, let the monster attack you, or lure it to your opponent. I do that with hobgoblins all the time while mining adamant; me, a lowly level 94 with 51 defense versus maxed 126's, and they can't touch me because they've got a monster on them every second. Other worlds you might want to look into include quickchat worlds.

These ten players just lost a year of their life. Good fight, cheaters.

How is it that someone taking your training spot is different on a P2P world than on a F2P world? It isn't, and don't pretend it is. These same scenarios happen regardless of status, and my advice still stands: There are less people in training spots in PvP than there are on normal worlds. As a bonus, if someone tries to crash, you can also kill them.

FIRST! :D Jagex's hints and tips remind me of a robotics competition I participated with in high school. Every year, right before the new game has been announced, they like to put out a clue. It drives hundreds of people mad. One of the people from the Game Design Committee also posts regularly on a forum, and people like to hang on to his every word. One hint in particular that has stuck with me for all these years: Five 'bots tangling with pasta. A game piece obsessed with a shovel's show. and seeing Montana's Green Heights. What this meant was during one phase of competition, only two robots could defend the other three, and were allowed to use pool noodles as bumpers, the game piece was a ball that was to be shot through a hoop (A shovel's show being David Spade's t.v. show, Just Shoot Me), and seeing Montana's meant that robots were to use a camera to track a green light. The closest anyone got to figuring out the game was the "Just shoot me" part, but that was it. I think when we bash our heads against the wall to figure out these clues, we remember its all in good fun, and that we're enthusiastic for the new content. Bring it on, Jagex!

A faster updating GE, no artificial price limits, and better limits on items/hour would solve most of the problems with the GE. Also, a feature "Buy when", "Buy until", "Sell when", "Sell until" that allows a user to automatically put in an offer at whatever price level, i.e. buy all swordfishes until they reach 550 each, and then keep my offer at 550 each until the offer is complete, or sell until the price of my rune platelegs are 40000 each, and then keep the offer there, would help alleviate the problems of stuck items.

Word of advice: get rid of your nature runes now. Also, stocking up on supplies to make bars for smithing, and then superheating mtihril/addy or making steel bars could be a profitable venture (dumping the bars right before the XP weekend). Same with getting yew logs, limpwurt roots, and other P2P used items.

Get bigger or go train somewhere else....? Anyhow, I realize how annoying this can be, but I'll let you in to my little secret: PVP worlds. These are usually empty everywhere. I usually mine adamantite in BH worlds (as a bonus there's no revenants) to get my EP up, but I've also found them to be empty at moss giants in crandor (one of the most popular F2P spots).

I like your style. However, "trying" a glitch out, imho isn't the same as abusing it. For instance, with the µ gltich, going off to a secluded part of the map, typing in µ, and watching yourself crash out is different than turning public off, going to a bounty hunter world, and crashing other people. Especially the first person that did it... see there's a bug, confirm there's a bug, try it under a few different circumstances, report the bug. Even though they may have used the bug 20 times, the key is that they reported it, and afterward stopped using it. But that's my own opinion. Either way, I know there are people that deserve permabans.

Where do you propose that this "big pile of gp" should disappear from? From people that earned it honestly? Saying that all these bolts should be removed is logical and rational: they came into being from a bug, they should never have been, and those that abused the bug for gain should be banned. Besides, contrary to some people's belief, inflation doesn't hurt the economy. Here's a question for everyone though: In this, what constitutes abuse? For penguins, it was spotting them >250 times? I submit that players who used it more than 10 times and didn't report it abused it, and that players who reported it, and used it afterward abused it. I'm not sure the severity of abuse from most players, but say for every 50 times a player used it, they should earn a 1 day ban, with perm bans on accounts that used it more than 500 times.

They might as well add a "drop all" feature.

Not the point I was trying to make: Where is it that RuneScape is bundled with its Forum when it refers to "the game"? I can quite plainly understand why they don't want macroers playing RuneScape. But the way you've defined the game, it would be illegal/bannable to have something auto-archive the forums (or a webcrawler like Google or Yahoo!) Jagex is the first party, I'm the second party. Anything I create for personal use is second party? Anything you get from anyone else is third party. I vs. You vs. It; unless I'm mistaken. Please show me a definition from somewhere reputable that third party is something I make, when the agreement is between Jagex and me. Anything I buy or download from someone else is a third party, but I wouldn't be doing that. There's absolutely no benefit to having my account logged into the RuneScape main page I understand this as it applies to interaction between RuneScape and the RSOF, i.e. buying and selling, recruiting for clans, etc. Bumping a thread which has bugs/suggestions doesn't benefit me at all in game. I also understand the rationale behind saying, no, no one should do this. By the way, if they meant to include forums in this, they would have explicitly said so. Notice wherever the rule is applicable to the forums, they say so. Alright, since no one seems to have an outright answer, I'm going to have a mod lock this. Feel free to PM me if you have anything else to say to me that's worthwhile.

Sorry, where was the GAME defined as "MMORGP AND the forums" ? Also, my auto bumping program would not be third party, as I would have programmed it myself. It would not bypass the normal navigation of their website, as it would interact by clicking on links in a browser. It wouldn't automatically request pages from the website any more than browsing the forums yourself, or manually bumping would. I don't see how it would give me an unfair advantage in game, unless I was bumping a buy/sell thread (which I don't intend to ever do). I could just as easily write the same timing code, but instead of automatically clicking on the link, playing a sound which reminds me to bump. This would yield the same results, and be perfectly legal. It seems the general consensus is that this is a "gray" area, and the worst that could happen is that my account is banned from the forums. Thanks for the responses. EDIT:changed tenses

Funnily enough, I watched that last night on hulu. Stupid thing was he ALWAYS finished his meal. When I start getting full (as every other rational person), I don't continue to cram food into my mouth. I don't force feed myself the other half of the super-sized fries. Of course you're going to have health problems if you force feed yourself. The other thing was that people don't eat at McD's 3 times a day. That's unnatural. They at least go other places and get other things. My point here - You don't have to play runescape. You can play WoW. You can play club penguin. You can (though not recommended) play on a private server! You have options because you're the consumer. There's your freedom. If you don't like those options, write your own damn game. Then, you can play it and tweak it as much as you want, even put it online and let others play too! Who knows, if you do a better job than Andrew, we'll all be moaning about the steps you took to combat RWT in your game in a few years.

Lets just hope that they get meaningless jobs and never amount to anything important; where they could mess that up. OR that they get caught, reprimanded, and learn from their mistake before it hurts them too much.

Woot! ranked #10 yesterday for Dungeon Assault. I'm charging an orb though, so it'll only last for 4 more days <_< My raiders (for those ranked in the top 1K): Black Knight, Spy, Demonette, Demonette. (for everyone else) Black Knight, Thief, Thief, Spy. Use the spy to pick 2 of the 4 squares next to the center. That way, you'll have a very good idea which room you need to start from (75% of the time I'm able to take a direct path to the center). Use the spy as your first raider... if its a monster, run, if its a trap, try to disarm it. Spy doesn't carry much gold so its OK if he dies/is disabled. NEVER lead with the black knight; he's only there to kill monsters. Black knight is about 95% effective against stone golems, and maybe 70% effective against razor constructs. REMEMBER - all rooms must connect to one another. If you know the last room contains a trap, and there is one unknown room in between, lead with your black knight! Your demonette becomes most valuable. If you see green in a room, it respawns. Same with skeletons. Chances are, one passage is a dead end. As far as who to loot, I wouldn't recommend anyone in the top 50. Most of them have superior dungeons (I would know, I raided all of them :P) Players all the way up to (rank) 50 sometimes have empty dungeons. If a dungeon doesn't have a bounty on it, someone recently raided it and was successful! If they have a bounty thats <500, but have more than 15000 renown, they probably have an (easier) dungeon! Once you're trying to break into the top 10, only attack dungeons that are ranked sub 100. Also, when you get to the center, your renown won't go down. It won't go up if you're unsuccessful. I've found that risking ~25% yields the fastest renown. Never risk the "max", you'll fail often (when raiding those in the top 1k, you can't carry more than about 10k gold, which is about 30-50% risk). Happy Assaulting!

When you kill your target (supposedly) your bounty hunter rank goes up (by 2-3). When you kill a non target, your bounty hunter rank goes up (by 2-3). You can be ranked in hunter and Rogue. I'm not sure if you have to risk to gain rating, but you might as well (26k is a joke, a scimitar is worth 35k)

Doors are a hassle in runescape. So are stairs, ladders, the wilderness ditch... I could go on. I'm happy that doors are the way they are, especially since the "stuck" update, where people who closed doors as soon as they opened to annoy others could no longer do so. I could care less about how realistic runescape is.
