Well (parts of) RS (are)/is retarted regardless of your question, but anyway... If you can't select the right autocast even when overloaded, then the retardedness applies here also.

It's not possible to PK someone under protection of a friends chat so busy as the ones in use for warbands without a team so big that the profit would be extremely minor. That is something Jagex ought to adress. Giving PKers some xp would be good. Even if it's something like 1k slayer xp per resource item killed, or bonus loot from tents. If a fully loaded player is worth 10-25k slayer xp, it's definitely worth just randomly killing them.

They could still increase risk, by making stronger NPCs or increasing the cash value of resources. You could even get a system where killing someone carrying resources increases the number of resources available for you to loot. Something like: kill someone carrying 25, get cash and 5-10 more resources you can loot from the tents.

Cannoning + chinning is pretty good, I'm not sure what the ranged defence on dagannoths is like but you could try those.

Dungeoneering-wise, get a chaotic weapon, it'll help a lot on quest bosses etc.. Good choices are claw (main hand claw is 100k tokens + dragon claw), staff (200k tokens) and double crossbows (200k + 100k tokens). Getting enhanced Excalibur would be good too, as off-hand (Seer's village hard tasks, you mostly need the quests & fletching for that I think).

Less than 2%, it was .5% or so before the accuracy/armour changes, now with the higher speed it should benefit a little from power armour but then again that might not stack right.

RWT rules forbid trading RS items for goods, too, and I think bitcoins are close enough to goods that Jagex would ban you (if they went after RWTers, that is). When you do get to court, you might stand a chance (on the bitcoins not being currency bit), but court isn't really the issue here. I think that since Jagex owns the game, the law is very happy to let them do whatever they want ban-wise :P. I don't think customer protection laws extend to virtual goods any more than fraud, or theft, or destruction of property laws.

Do you have one of each kind of burnt food in there?

Thanks :). I will, if you do your c1s on time! (certain people will know what I mean :D)

Taxing is easy. Jagex gives the relevant institutions drops & gp equal to what all the players gather, subject to RWT rules as usual.

90 thieving is required for the 50 plate voyage, that's probably worth getting. Other than that, get torva, it's better than Tetsu.

Sixth-age circuit will spread your defence around because it's 'all' class. If you want to avoid that, use the dks rings.

" Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes: I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Here it is in modern English: Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account." From that article. I find the modern English clearer (and funnier) than the old, although both are rather convoluted. Good English would be: "You will see that success or failure does not depend on skill only - there is always a randomness." Orwell goes on to say that the first sentence is "precise and detailed" when it really is being long-winded and using pars pro toto (the race/battle/bread/riches/favour for all good things, the swift/strong/wise/men of understanding/men of skill for all people) where it serves no use - it should just be generalized as far as possible if the author wanted to make a clear point (I believe this is a Bible verse, so clarity probably wasn't the first priority). Orwell lists these rules: "(i) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. (ii) Never use a long word where a short one will do. (iii) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. (iv) Never use the passive where you can use the active. (v) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. (vi) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous." 1) Why not? References to other works can summon a feeling much, much better than a new figure of speech can. Some figures of speech we use are thought to be thousands of years old - are you going to top that with your new combination? Even if you are Orwell... 2) Why not? There is such a thing as rythm in speech and writing, and I will gladly use a longer word to make my sentence sound better. 3) See above. 4) See above. Also, just... stupid. If you want to use passive, use passive >.>. Not to mention ergative languages, but ok. 5) See 1. Also, so many fun metaphors you can make with obscure words... also see 2. 6) Well yeah... so basically ignore those rules when it suits your writing? Plus that the rules are too many, and can be condensed quite simply into: "Write short, write unique, write common/simple, write well" (all of these rules can be at odds with eachother as well). Properly writing short would probably involve lots of / and other non-letter symbols which would make it harder to actually pronounce the text. Not that I don't agree with Orwell when he says his examples aren't very good at some things, but that doesn't mean they are not useful at all. Orwell is just another one of those people who do not properly appreciate convoluted language.

:( I'm pretty sure it was possible to pickpocket master farmers with a full inventory, I used that for strange rocks sometimes. Did that get changed or are traders just weird?

Grats on MA :P. Funtimes.

You can keep pickpocketing with a full inventory, right?

First of all, that article is so bad. What's with the pictures, and calling gp 'credits'? Also what's with the whole 'no real world value' thing, I'm sure your collection of holiday pictures is worth nothing, still not a nice thing to remove some >.>. Second, $16 is kind of lame. But I guess it's not about the compensation, this guy needs to be fined for hurting someone (emotionally).

Last large floors I did on 77 were Kal'gers, 14 and 15 minutes or so (that had a lot of annoying rooms though, crit barrel as one of the last rooms etc.). It is very possible to get good teams, but much more reliable in clans.

Meh, (some) dgs people can join CD, I don't really care for a dg-based clan anymore. And I probably don't know half the people in dgs these days. And CD has awesome peoples.

Resource-gathering skills become more and more useless at this rate.

Prayer switching is something you should first do without anything else. That is, don't bother attacking Jad or using abilities at first, just switch until you are bored, that'll provide motivation to get on with it.

Yeah I noticed the autoattack thing :P. It's not a bad thing to do with a 2h weapon, if you have plenty of adrenaline, but it's better to get tresholds, and dual wield autoattacks aren't as strong each as 2h.

Hard bosses is nothing if slayer monsters keep being so easy. All slayer monsters should be on par with glacors at 90+ slayer. Imagine what would happen if all dark beasts had 100% adrenaline to start with, and would use Wild Magic when attacked, followed by Concentrated Blast, then they move in to melee using Barge and move straight to ult. In melee range, they use melee and open Slaughter > Kick > Sever, then go for the ult, which can be something that doesn't exist yet (cause Jagex doesn't like filling out ability tiers any more than they like filling out equipment tiers), but Massacre would work as well. All this being at t85+ accuracy of course, it's a level 90 slayer monster. That would make slayer interesting :). Starting at 100% adrenaline is a huge, huge favour to monsters because they can die, respawn and have full adrenaline, which typically is not a very good idea for players. Also, it'd be awesome to see someone run into a room full of mutated jadinko males and half a dozen of them aggro and immediately use Berserk > adrenaline fruit (of course jadinkos have adrenaline fruits, who doesn't these days?) and straight to Destroy or something. And I imagine creatures like terror dogs and hellhounds hunt in packs, one of them will use Destroy on you, and when that stun wears off, the next one will use it. Funtimes :D. Abyssal demons would make use of Barge and Escape (depending on what style you're using) while hybriding melee/mage, using Resonance and Rejuvinate as well. Abyss have always been a bit high-def, would be nice to make them resistant again. Warped tortoises should probably have Resonance on a 10 second cooldown or something :P. Skeletal wyverns... so many fun things to do with these. They used to be the toughest slayer monster around (tougher than black dragons for sure, probably also miths), and they can get a crazy suite of abilities for extrasuperfuntimes :D. Maybe they have Debilitate, Immortality, Reflect, Revenge etc.? combined with Decimate for the lovely bonus damage vs. shield. Obviously that's just examples, monsters also need food/healing (vampires don't even use Vampirism :(), the right stats (dark beasts as tier 90 monster), perhaps summoning (nechs/glacors already do, works fine) and perhaps unique abilities like the Unstable. And why don't any monsters (bar Nex) use soul split? Even just leech curses could make it much harder to kill monsters quite as quickly.
