New Skillcape - Next year?
Oh wow, that looks a lot better than the old music cape, hope this one gets released. I was watching youtube videos earlier of caches and the video was dated may 2008 so it's pretty old the cape, could it really be a skill and not achievement cape? Wow, that's one snazzy cape! How are you accessing the cache, wait you can't tell us because it's illegal isn't it?

Your winner is entry number 2! Grats Racheya!!!
I think a level 99 crafting cape would have been more fitting : .

That last swordfish!
I will agree with that. I rarely ever got 50/50 while fishing tuna/swordfish. Generally it was much closer to 70/30 or even 80/20. Yeah I would have to agree, it's NOT 50/50. Who ever said that is was in the first place?

I remember when the scammers were creative.
You may think this, but the truth is that Jagex are baby sitting players too much. When it comes down to it, people don't have a clue who is a scammer and who isn't. Jagex have all of these dungeons and crap to try and teach people how to protect their accounts, but no one comes out any better. I could go make a phisher right now and get just as many accounts as i could 4 years ago. The in-game players may be better off but once Jagex is out of the equation it is far easier to fool people now. You just said: It is no easier, and no harder to scam player out of their accounts then it used to be. Then you say: It is now easier to scam then it used to be. I don't get what you are saying, is it easier or is it the same? I was once scammed out of a Rune scimitar (back in 05-06) , some guy asked to borrow my Rune scimmy, but I said that I would need something in return of equal vaue is case he did not return. So he gave me 6 chocolate dust, and said that is was worth a lot, so being a noob I accepted. The odd part is though, 2 weeks later he PM'ed me saying he forgot to give back my scimmy, and offered to return it, but I declined because I had already bought a new one by then. I don't know weather to consider that as a scam or not :? Oh, a fun fact is that about 3 years latter I used chocolate dust to make Chefs delight M, which sold for 100k :thumbsup:. It all balanced itself out in the end :D .

Handcannon and other failed range updates
That would make it absurdly overpowered. The ammo has 150 ranged strength. That's more than the melee strength of a godsword. And it's apparently a common enough drop. What is the max hit of it? more than AGS? 55 I believe. I heard 58, but it's not something I've seen. Yeah that's not higher then a God Sword, so how is it overpowered? One more thing: Range str =/= melee Str. Range acc =/= Melee Acc =/= Magic acc. Stop confusing yourself with this. Offtopic: *looks at A_Local_Guy's sig* Tales of Vesperia FTW!

The forgotten changes - safe to revert?
Pure essence helps new players, and F2P. If Pure ess was done away with then the price of normal ess would rise, an this would make Runecrafting for both F2P, and new players very expensive. The only people that this change would benefit would be mages, and F2P players who spend all day ess mining. So yes, this would help mages which I am all for, but it would also hinder noobs on the left wile helping other noobs on the right. I don't know, I guess I'll have to say do away with Pure ess because it will help mages :thumbsup:.

Grats on winning Ecxl! Now here is a list of suggestions I want you to tell to Jagex [hide=Suggestions]You did not really think that I would tell you a bunch of lame suggestions, did you? :shame:[/hide] @Bazzaminxer: Excl said his age in one of his videos, and its a bit higher then 21.

Handcannon and other failed range updates
Yeah range does not have much variety, unless you want to use a bunch of over priced weak weapons. I think that Jagex could fix many of these problems: Range ammy: It's fine like it is. Javelins: Boost there range strength 2x, add melee stats to them, and allow them to be able to be used in both melee and range. Darts: Double the amount of dart tips that are created by smithing a bar, and half the amount of feathers they need to fletch. Long bows: Boost there accuracy by 50%. Throwing axes: Raise all there range strengths by 2x, and reduce the amount of spec bar used for the Rune throwing axe special. Crystal Bow:make it so that the bow does not weaken as it is used, and allow people to recharge the bot at any percentage. Karil's: Give it a better spec. Hand cannon: A spec that makes your weapon disintegrate? Ummmm NO! What was Jagex thinking here! I mean seriously! :wall: #-o :wall: Make it so IT DOES NOT BREAK, it's that simple! If Jagex Realllllllly want it to break they could have easily made it degrade over time, that way people could actually USE it. There you have, simple fixes that even a preschooler could have thought of. So if a preschooler could come up with that, then just how smart is Jamflax?

A second strange trapdoor! Where could it lead?
Have you ever wondered where all those noobs go that fail tutorial island? Well now you know.

Noobs say the funniest things!
What you may find to be "stupid" others might find fun. I would think of all people that someone who plays Runescape would know, and understand this.

The cost of Ancients: Water staffs vs 10% bonus
What? I was talking about GP, not experience, the only thing that you that I could have done, was to use hit averages instead of max. What do you mean I forgot magic attack bonus? That only effects accuracy, and that is based random numbers making it extremely hard, maybe even impossible to calculate. I'm curious tough, I would like to see what you ended up with when calculating if it's better or not, experience wise, to use a water or a 10% staff.

The cost of Ancients: Water staffs vs 10% bonus
If there is already a thread like this one, please lock it because mine is better :D. Kidding, just kidding!, lock this one lol. Rune prices: Death, 306 gp Blood, 356 gp (I think they have been merched, there old stable price was 356 gp before Aug 30 now they are 486, so we shall go with the old prices for fairness) Water, 16 gp Chaos, 112 gp (damn these get merched so much it's alomst impossible to get a good idea of their natural price) Ice Barrage: 4 death = 1224 gp 2 blood = 712 gp 6 water = 96 gp Total = 2032 gp Max hit; 30-33 Cost for 30 damage (one target): No staff, 2032 Water staff, 1936 Bonus staff, 1847 Cost for one damage with one target: No staff, 67.73 Water staff, 64.53 Bonus staff, 61.57 Cost for one damage with nine targets: No staff, 7.52 Water staff, 7.17 Bonus staff, 6.84 This translates into saving 96 gp with a water staff, and saving a handsome 185 gp with a staff that gives the 10% damage bonus. Ice Burst: 4 chaos = 448 gp 2 death = 612 gp 4 water = 64 gp Total = 1124 gp Max hit; 22-24 Cost for 22 damage (one target): No staff, 1124 Water staff, 1060 Bonus staff, 1030 Cost for one damage with one target: No staff, 51.09 Water staff, 48.18 Bonus staff, 46.83 Cost for one damage with nine targets: No staff, 5.67 Water staff, 5.35 Bonus staff, 5.20 This translates into saving 64 gp with a water staff, and saving 94 gp with a 10% damage bonus staff. So now we can see that with the current price of water runes it is always smarter to choose a staff that boosts you max hit by 10%, over a water staff. Higher max hit, and it's cheaper in the long run, it's a win-win.

Personalized Shops and Long-term Effects
um the way you are saying it, RC will become more profitable IF you mine your own ess .. True but the runes will also increase in price. So then the only ones here that will benefit will be the ess miners. RC'ers will barley be affected, but mages will suffer greatly. Great just want I wanted to hear: Magic gets dumped on AGAIN! Oh come on, they got a 10% damage boost, didn't they? +3 damage does not out weigh the fact that rune prices are going to rise, and many safe spots have been removed.

No Update Week
Small things? Look at my stats in my sig, what are the two highest? I NEVER PvP, so guess what I do with those stats? I safe spot, so no this is not merely nitpicking. Just because you do not care about shops does not mean that others think the same as you. Now if you'll excuse me I have some more lurking to do.

Seems like MechScape is Stellar Dawn
I almost photoshopped that image into saying something else, but then I realized that I am not a troll. Well, this is nothing big, but at least it stops all discussion about...Wait I'm starting to troll again, wtf is wrong with me today? Good find, that is all :thumbup:
