59 Construction or 70 Smithing?
You may be able to buy some things from the Grand Exchange: but if you (by chance) receive a Draconic Visage (just as an example); why pay the 2000K (2M) on having Oziach make it into a Dragonfire Shield, when at 92 Smithing you can do it for free? :) And then there is the matter of certain levels for certain Quests. So yes, to some extent it is a "useless skill." This is just my opinion, some people don't mind paying the 2000K for the shield, yet others may not have the 2000K and instead either sell it, or ask for the assistance (which I believe JaGeX has fixed now, so you can't). Visage is actually worth more than dfs atm, and if they're usellable (probably), you could req. assist,. Oh, and 70 is nowhere near the same ballpark as 92,

Only 82 days? Congrats on not being addicted, at least.

Have any Runefest questions for Jagex?
Make it like strip clubs in some states; make minors require a wristband so they can't buy alcohol. -If you had to do anything differently, what would it be and why? You really said STRIP clubs? Minors? What the heck?

Efficiency
What I personally do is try to be efficient, but if it gets too hard a rythm to maintain or jsut too boring, I stop. However, I don't see why people are implying that you don't have fun when you're efficient... How in the world does making the best gp/xp | revenue potion in herblore less funthan making whichever you want. Making a pot simply is making a pot. Same for potions use in slayer. Of course, when people say it's best to re-pot every 6:32 minutes, they just give a figure of a good time to do so. Personnaly, I've yet to see one example of a situation where decent efficiency causes a problem/makes you have less fun. Pure-anti-efficiency people are just like lvl-3 skillers or "Pure F2P" people. They make things harder for themselves, then think they deserve recognition for that. That's elitism too.

200M in all Skills
I'm not one of these guys, but how the heck could gambling addiction be that bad if not for the money problems?

How do I....Familiarisation
Take notes? Other than that, I think you need to be at the obelisk and try to enter.

Efficiency
These folks are right. It's so much more fun to take 30 minutes longer a task when I don't use piety/super pots. You efficiency guys don't know what you're missing.

Good one, especially the new bosses part. Mine: What would be Jagex's definition of a medium or high-leveled character?

1,500 - done. 1,800 or 2,000?
1500 total is equivalent to 60 in every skill. About 300 000 xp in every skill average, to be fair. 300k*25 skills= 7,5M xp. You said 30 to 90 minutes, so let's make it an hour. 15 000 000 xp/xh=xp/h (I put the 0s so that you can visualize). Let's assume 30k xp/h is a good relaxed gamestyle rate 7 500 000 xp / (30 000 xp / h) = 250 h That'd be a total of 250 days of presence at 1 hour a day. Not high for "High level" in a MMO.

5 Years of play.
Good account, but it seems kind of poor to me considering the stats and time played... I'd go with a 6/10. 7/10 if you tell me how you got orange PMs.

200M in all Skills
The people who haven't experienced the community from 2001-2005 probably wouldn't understand it, but it used to be really great. The mental age has gone down alot in the last 5 years. I played since 2004. I wouldn't say the community now is that bad. Personally I think it improved after the removal of the wildy. QFT. It's just that while the average age stays pretty much the same (or at least doesn't get up as fast as ours), so players seem more immature now than 5 years ago to you, although they're the same. And yes, In my opinion, removal of the wilderness got rid of many, many immature folks.

Most efficient: walking or resting?
Its highly subjective to your agility level though. If you're low this is true, but when you get to about 80+ (as the op is) rest then run, beats walking Look up a few posts. At 86 agility it is still a tie. In my experience from 80+ resting was definitely faster than walking. Try doing your own test and look at the actual numbers. It only seems faster. On the mental aspect of it, seeing is more than enough.

Why are you "old school"
Ah, did you find the windows for workgroups 3.11 version of runescape the best version ever too? :rolleyes: </sarcasm> On topic: I guess you miss-typed 2004 s 1994 as the runescape beta started in 2001 :-) You, sir, just failed at seeing sarcasm yourself. Which is quite ironic coming from someone who used sarcasm.

Something smells fishy?????
Hmmmm....."Deserve"? I wonder how someone who doesn't play can "deserve" something.

SkillCapes - Overrated?
Oh, I loved that fletching cape, and still like it. To me, people wearing a skillcape aren't half as pretentious as people who go around sayingthey are "Pure f2p" or that they started in classic, or those who said BEW cheapened their accomplishments (Although these people simply didn't want to get their highscores spots taken). All that elitism, that's part of RS. Skillcapes look pretty nice and add some diversity to RS. I don't see why people wearing them should bother you. What the hell is BEW? Bonus exp weekend.

Whip > D'Claws/SS/AGS/BGS/ZGS/SGS ~ Best weapon in RS.
OP: This could be the reason why everyone and their grandmothers have a whip in this game? Not too sure, though... Come on, whip is the best thing up to the day when you can get some chaotic suff.

76-85 runecraft
I'd go with suggestion 4: Go to ZMI and get the most possible done ASAP, because your motivation probably won't last long.

Running ZMI
60k figures are an exxageration, if you consider that the person doing it has human concentration. At my level, it's more like 43-47k

Profit doesn't go well with smithing xp. Earn mney, then superheat gold.

FYI - Game Worlds Upgrades
My question exactly. technically, they'd be free to do so if they implement it on every world. (Raising skill caps from 200M to 1b+, perhaps? Because they'd have to set one...Or maybe not.)

The cape= the 99 to just about everyone. You're really playing on words and trying to criticize something, here.

1 mil an hour?
Waiting for what item to update? how did you make 24 mil like that? He's flipping. And don't expect good advice about it in here. People who are good at it don't share their secrets.

Look like crap? Many capes are looking great....Way better than sw, fire or especially ardy.
