Personally, I fail to see how having an option set to someone's preference is 'lame'. I want my private chat set to friends because I want it to be like that. As for your 'points': 1) No. Have you ever thought that maybe people aren't sociable and like to keep themselves to themselves? 2) I've never, in the 3 years I've played, been sent a PM asking for help (I had private set to 'On' for 2 of those years). People who want help post it in public chat so, instead of one person seeing it in a PM, a whole range of players can see their request. 3) ...seriously? 4) In my case, if they were my *really* good friends I'd have them on my Skype or MSN. If I delete anyone, its because I didn't like them or I know for a fact they've quit. If they rejoin, then its too bad. This is the virtual world - I doubt you have had such a good relationship that going to go meet the IRL, unless of course your extremely close (in which case relates to my point on Skype/MSN). Also, I see no sort of mention of attempted hackers in the OP. I had an plethora of impersonators with their really bad hacking attempts. Thats also another thing I, and about all the other 'arrogant and lame' players, want to avoid. If I'm arrogant because I want an option set to how I want, then aren't all the Labour voters arrogant for not voting for Conservatives arrogant aswell, considering they blanked they ignored an entire parties view? [PS: I'm not derailing the thread to politics - I'm making a point. I'm not even old enough to vote yet :thumbup: ] And also: So your saying that we should all lock ourselves in our POH where you can't skill, pretty much, at all (besides Combat - if you have a games room with the games) and spend all our RuneScape life there. Riight. And if I wanted Privacy, I'd have Privacy set to friends. Because I don't want to speak to people I don't know, but I don't mind speaking to my friends. Note how I didn't use FULL CAPS LOCK RAEGGG to make my point
