D.C. is filled with a bunch of corrupt bastards like Barney Frank. This depression is their fault. [hide=Fun stuff on Frank] Barney Frank gets a sweetheart position for his sweetheart: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/05/27/rep_frank_acknowledges_recommending_companion_for_job_with_mortgage_agency/ Barney Frank's "tough regulation" allows the fed to dish out 80 billion dollars near interest free: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-26/fed-gave-banks-crisis-gains-on-secretive-loans-as-low-as-0-01-.html Barney Frank telling us that the housing market is just swell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Yv7jT0TX0 Bill O'Reilly famously ranting at Barney Frank: On a lighter note, Paul Shanklin's parody, "Banking Queen" [/hide] I'll post more later, but just that got me pissed off.

I'm not entirely sure you even know what my article is about. But, whatever. If a two paragraph introduction (background information meant for someone with no prior knowledge describing WHY runescape is the way it is) is enough to get you to say tl;dr and skip the rest, you're not worth the time it takes to argue the merits of my article.

Go ahead and marginalize it, you're failing to recognize that the whole is worse than the parts. Slavery, Concentration Camps, Abuse, Political Corruption. Right.

Definitely not torture. They're not even trying to get information out of them![/sarcasm]

"marginally". Pfft. Its like, you know, letting them sleep, not setting quotas, not whipping them if they'd miss a quota, not working them to death.

I wonder when this will be patched.

Why were you laughing at torture?

I was under the impression you were laughing at the prisoners being tortured... Let me double check... [hide=care to explain it all away?] [/hide] Yep, still get that impression.

I'm glad to see you made it past the introduction. :rolleyes:

Sleep Deprivation = torture Forced Gold Farming in lieu of sleep = funny.

Not instead of, in addition to. Did you read the article?

Did you even read the article?

The best solution then would be to implement new bot-breaking content every month or so. Doesn't have to be too complicated, just enough to keep the bot developers busy, and the community at whole skeptical of their programming abilities.

Do you think they made a typo with "stats" and meant "states"?

Bot busting = winning with tiger blood.

While I agree it will open up competition for the top spot in each skill, it is very easy to become discouraged in training when the gap seems insurmountable. Take for instance, Fist of Guthix. The #1 ranked player has about 444k rating, the #5 ranked player has about 334k rating. In order for the #5 ranked player to compete for #1's spot, they'd have to gain 1/3 of their rating instantaneously before there would even be a competition. For a player starting out now, gaining 444k rating on the top spot is impossible, no reason to even try. One reason the #5 player might still be playing FoG right now is because they enjoy it, they need/want rewards, or they have a goal to reach a milestone rating (Like, 500k or 1M). I sincerely doubt its to be #1 in FoG.
