  1. You do realize the stats are identical, right?
  2. Can anyone give the text of the diary? Just curious what's in it.
  3. Probably like 1/10th or 1/5th of what the reward for completing quest was. So like 1 or 2k slayer exp and 700 or 1400 prayer exp. Apparently the Game Guide has been updated now to tell you the rewards, so we don't need to guess.

    You've done your part as a troll. I already told you, I responded to your arguments five pages ago. For reference, this is the Jagex post in question, and I think most people would agree that you'd need to stretch it pretty far to support any negative portrayal of player moderators.
  5. Well, killing Bork the first time gives you 5000 slayer experience, but killing him afterwards only gives you 500 slayer experience. It hasn't been a week since the quest was released, so we don't know if this is the case with the new one as well; however, since it's weekly and not daily, it seems reasonable to guess that subsequent kills will give the same experience. Once you do the whole wishlist you get an enchanted bonesack/ram skull helm that will simply teleport you to the Skeletal horror when he's ready to be fought. You don't have to col;ect any more bones.
  6. I don't know why so much is made of this "variety" thing. It kind of falls apart once you get to a high level and you know the monsters. Then it's just the same routine, just like any other skill. You're basically just saying "I like doing slayer tasks," which is all well and good, but it has no pertinence as to whether or not slayer is an efficient training method. I like fishing sharks, but I'm sure as hell not going to claim that they're a great way to make money.
  7. Like the meaning of the name, but memorizing pi is plan sad in my eyes there no reason on earth thats going to help you for any real life situation. Loving the irony, person who plays Runescape. ;)

    I responded to your arguments back in March. This long-awaited posting of your "evidence" is laughable. I mean, look at this, for example: Yeah, you're right, a former mod did post. On page 12. You spent much of the previous 11 pages claiming that you had evidence for this. Whoops, guess you must have been making that up. And BlueLancer didn't exactly command authority, especially considering he showed an incomplete knowledge of mutable offenses, no longer has access to the moderator lounge area of the forums, acknowledged that he was referring to a small portion of the community, and let's not forget the fact that there are many pages of other mods giving evidence contrary to this point, including more than one who said quite plainly that the crown was not important to them. Or this:[hide=jrhairychest wrote]Jagex say Up until recently, one of the main criteria wed look for when inviting moderators would be how many reports theyve sent and how good those reports were Notice the how many is first? You need a volume of reports to work with in the first place. It creates a snitch culture, and links into the trample comment above made by Bluelancer. Lets be honest most RS issues regarding player behavior can be sorted with common sense or is this too much to ask? If Jagex realizes this is such an issue, then no-one can discredit this as this is from them. It takes no skill to report or mute, but it does take skill to deal with people effectively. The mod posts on here denied it was ever about reporting in quantity but the proof is there by Jagex themselves. Is it really a crime to at least want some honour in the game rather than watch your back Jack? Jagex stated on the current crop of mods - Weve done this by offering re-written guidance, putting much less emphasis on excessive reporting. Now why would you rein them in? Too trigger happy? No common sense applied? Make your own mind up on that one. Jagex also say I spoke about the creative, vibrant people we have playing RuneScape. These are the people who can help us change the focus of the moderating community, so these are the people well be inviting to help us do just that. This obviously implies a change of focus by Jagex as to WHO they will recruit for future mods. Selecting those who just reported was never a good idea. A community focus will allow those to guide, not lecture and treat players as adults. I firmly believe Jagex will recruit those who can deal with players better than the current crop of mods we have. Jagex also state on FUTURE mods: Were still looking for players with incredibly secure accounts, players who havent been persistently breaking rules or been horrible to others, and players who have shown absolute dedication to RuneScape and the communities they belong to. To make sure were selecting the best players, every moderator we choose is put through a strict selection process involving five teams here at Jagex, and only those we feel would genuinely make great additions to the team are invited. We really want to make sure this change in focus doesnt have any impact on the quality of the moderators we invite. Community focus, rigorous selection, change in focus. Notice it doesnt say individual focus? Its pretty evident that Jagex have woken up to the fact that players wanted modship to serve themselves. Ties in with Bluelancers comments. If it was ok in the first place, Jagex would not have changed it. Obviously something was wrong and Jagex now needs to implement this solution.[/hide]Really quite brilliant how you've taken a quote that is obviously intended to say "We used to give modship mainly to people who were good at sending accurate abuse reports, and that worked fine" and used it as evidence that all mods "look for trouble" and "gleefully" send out questionable abuse reports. And of course, it also happens to completely contradict the "evidence" for your first point, as BlueLancer stated explicitly that it was only the new mods that he found distasteful, and that the old ones were great. Or this:[hide=jrhairychest wrote]My Quote *Why do they insist on giving lectures to players instead of fact? When a mod is around it is permanently littered with mod chat. Justification Some more issues came up with this on the official RS forums. Players can make their own decisions and they dont need to be lectured at. For some reason mods take on an uncanny schoolteacher approach that irks players. Many of the crop are inexperienced players who lie or waffle rather than give facts or give the wrong information. Jagex want a community approach, so involve and dont tell players like theyre naughty kids. More experienced players (LVL 138, all quest points, min 2000 total) should be used instead of lower level players who bolted in reports. Players would receive more correct information and respect the moderator more in a yeah that guy knows what he is doing. Theres plenty of players who are excellent who fit that criteria but wouldnt be selected in a million years because they report less often. The only people who disagree with this point are mods themselves and those who love them. No surprises really. For more information look through the posts in here. Pretty much all who disagreed were either mods, wannabe mods or my best mate is a mod. This ties in with the self service element that Jagex want to avoid. My Quote *Why, when questioned about how they got their modship do they instantly tele or block a player? - Something to be scared of? Try it yourself sometime. Even though Jagex have freely admitted that players put in a substantial amount of reports, none but a few cared ever to admit it. My only conclusion that I can come up with, based on the denials on here and in game, is that they dont want to admit it. I would certainly be embarrassed if people found out. The posts on here demonstrate a how dare you question us attitude. Well, yes actually Jagex have told us all anyway. My Quote *Why get shirty with players like myself who will disagree with a mods knowledge, yet threaten to mute me for it because I dare to disagree. Happened on more than one occasion. I don't need to be told off like a child or spoken to as if I don't know what I'm doing. The proof is on here. No-one could really answer any questions properly or thoroughly. There were constant denials or claims that I didnt know what I was talking about or I cant tell you as its classified. In this post Ive been called names like moron, idiot, and even a Nazi (This was from an In-game mod. This could have been quite an upsetting statement to some). These are supposed to be respectable players. Since the Jagex posted about mods, most have not been back to this thread, even though Ive seen them active because they knew what I'd been saying proved points. This proves my point about the more player orientated approach instead of the obsolete self service approach. These players are supposed to be dealing with people, and yes I have been a little abrasive at times on here, but look at everyone else. I only gave as good as I got. I would agree with the next person that I would not be a good pmod, but I havent seen much in the way these people deal with other people either. I think the change in the type of player that Jagex want to select jusfifies this point.[/hide] And then, after promising to give evidence to support the rest of your claims as well, you say you're giving evidence, and then you don't give any evidence, and then immediately afterward you claim you've just upheld your views with evidence.

    Okay. Fletching is one of the "easiest" 99s to get. Or better put, one of the least time consuming. The average player/person would still consider it hard. Yes. Think about how many hours it takes to get a fletching cape. ...How many is it, anyway? I forget. Well, in any case, if you view a fletching cape as "easy" to get, then I hope you're at least consistent, and you recognize that things like 300 rank in Mobilizing Armies or discontinued holiday items or sets of full dragon are even easier to get than any "easy" skillcape.

    Prove me wrong! Justify your points in this debate in how I'm so wrong. Don't forget to read my new post. It will save you a lot of time and effort. [hide=]First, I already did. And you ignored everything I brought up. "Read the thread." :roll: Second, you've already shown an inability to debate legitimately throughout this entire thread, and you give me no reason to believe that you will start now.[/hide] Don't think I don't see what you're trying to do. You're obviously trying to distract me with trash talk to take the focus away from the fact that you don't have a leg to stand on. Every time you've been cornered, you've tried to shift the focus onto somebody else. You ignore what they actually said and instead attack them in hopes of putting them on the defensive and leaving them off-balance. Don't take my word for it; just look at these examples. [hide=jrhairychest wrote] [/hide]Well, this isn't about me taking your bait. It's about me calling you out. I'm putting you on the spot here: Do you deny that you are trolling? And this is the last time I'm going to ask.
  13. You're fine; it's always been the best experience for that general level range of 70-80ish.
  14. You can fletch them very quickly.
  15. Ugh, why jagex. Just why. Okay, so i have some new questions... As i haven't played the game much, i was wondering a few things: The difference between light and heavy. Which mode is most efficient for points/ratings. What's a good strategy for beginners. A popular strategy is the organized group suicide. The "fast ma" clan is probably the best-known one...they use all light troops, and every team except the designated winner attacks the castle in siege mode. Then as soon as the timer hits 26 minutes (any sooner and you don't get rewards) everyone uses cannons to kill off all the troops at the same time. You should find their thread on the official forums.
  16. At least the imbued rings are actually better than anything else you could be wearing, unlike the torso, which is pretty much pure phailage compared to Bandos.
  17. Well each set of 10 bolts you fletch is worth 30 xp and about 50 gp profit. You can fletch them pretty quickly, so sure, it could be worth it. You can also fletch bolts while doing pretty much anything else...great for multitasking while training agility, for example, just fletch a few bolts as you run between obstacles and it won't slow you down or anything. If you're pro you can even be firemaking or something and still go at top speed while fletching a few bolts in between logs.
  18. You need 300 rating. Each game is worth up to 2 rating. Games last anywhere from 4-30 minutes. Even at top speed you're looking at a minimum of ~30 hours.
  19. What's wrong with a pun on "Hide" and seek?
  20. Oh yeah, and alching while multitasking too. Like collecting swamp tar in the boat from Lunar Diplomacy in between alchs, or in f2p, walking to and from Port Sarim to buy eyes of newt while you alch...and so on.
  21. Of course, in this case, an entirely different word is being used, in an obviously innocent context, which means it is not offensive in the slightest. Its only crime is that it happens to rhyme with an offensive word. [hide=Extremely offensive, racially-charged image, do not let small children view this image!][/hide]
  22. Troacctid replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    Yes, you stand by everything, as in the exact opposite of denying everything? Just clarifying here. should I be taking this as "It's all true, I deny nothing"?
  23. Troacctid replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    Let the record show that jrhairychest denied nothing.
  24. It's not even worth the money anyway. Don't waste your time.
