...And then we can unite all peoples within our nation! Oh gag me, please! This isn't the place to ramble about with petty idealism, it's Runescape not your cookie and hugs platform. You have to understand that not all is well, in fact there are huge distances from that status. Get your head out of cloud nine and quit acting like you're lvl 9.

You think this is a good article? What, does your normal reading criterea primarily include a nutrition chart (which definitely held more information than this), because this was pathetic. First of all it stated no sourced and had a very 'it's Christmas, let's kiss and make-up' attitude. This and the writer's unjustly comparison with semi-senile elderly with players that have dedicated well over five years of experience, has caused this little rant on my part. Who am I to say such a thing? I am Isra's son - I introduced the game to her. I started playing just before the introduction of fishing as a skill, before adamantine battle-axes were released in Port Sarim, and I think sometime after the Delrith was released. When PvP included killing people in the Varrock streets (which immediately dropped the possessions of the killed with everyone able to vulture). I quit playing when Isra shadowed my character's level - but I never stopped watching her play, and had her keep me updated. I've seen and heard everything. I've been around. Now one complaint has always come from the good old days. Quit catering to lower players, the game system was fine and worked for the older players. There were even large protest trains created - but Jagex felt that in order to attract newer players, that this action made perfect sense. This 'catering' has devalued a person's ability to level and gain social repoire - simply it has become TOO EASY for the (I won't be shy with using this word) newbies to level. There is no respect anymore. People buy and sell accounts, people immerse themselves in guides and bots instead of earning anything themselves, and it is a disgusting time to see such people claim to be better than everyone else. This is why you're wary, and we're wary, of triple-digit players - it's hard to say who's earned what. One thing's for sure. I'll be damned if I'll respect that lvl 63 in dragon plate, before I witness someone more fitting to wear armor of such prestige. Then again, however, level doesn't matter when everything's given on a silver platter. There was AWE in the old days when ancients like Bluerose13x mistress of smithing(of which there were hundreds of scammer look-a-likes), Alchemon the fighter, Muahahaha (spelling) the priest, and etcetera - there was awe. People begged just to screenshot next to them, swooned if they were addressed directly. So am I 'lamenting,' YES. Not without good cause though. I'm not asking that everything go back to the way it was - you should just take due look at yourself and realize what you've become. Do you dance with all your best armor in newbie towns? Do you even have an idea of Runescape's past? Do you remember the darker times? (1-day chat filter, knife hack exploit, the blackhole of no return) Then why should the younger generation, right? I mean they can gain their levels in a week in what would take you three months. This article was rediculous, we shouldn't just simply forget the many wrongs that are still occuring. The writer didn't make any specific examples, and even used irrelevant history to bemuse readers. If you all think this is a good article, agree with the writer, then you are a noob - because simply, this is what the article was biased towards. "Screw the elderly and their misings, who cares anyway?" You all disgust me. I'd rather have never levelled a point past 50 than be associated with the younger generation. But make one thing sure, if you're at the wrong end of a demon whip - don't complain, because Runescape staff might listen.
