since anything u just said wont happen, ur post is kinda useless cuz he pointed these allready out as possible changes jagex wont come with the special changes u asked for, so stop crying about it and get over it. start training and try to find a way u're happy and have casted as many spells u wanted and still be victorious in PvP, with necesary changement like doing combo's etc... their will be no better way since mage would be to powerfull otherwise...

idd range fire giants and collect golds in stead of crimsons and make some crabs till ur little higher lvl, otherwise do cockroaches as he said

thats just the thing, fm isnt noob only those who say that are noob, same with cook and fletch. i would never do cook/fletch cuz i dont like the skill, but when i did fm in G E every 10 sec ther was some1 coming around asking my lvl and a nice wow when i told then. its not because u dont have the time to wasted on such skills there arent realy skillcapes... anyway getting 99 isnt for glory its for personal archivement, some sort of been there done that. and if some1 says 'nice' or 'gratz' for it, ok i'll just say tks. if he doesnt, i wont sleep bad a night...

it are 2hits but u can see it as 1, u never have the time to eat or something when a dbow spec comes at u... anyway this is allready the 2nd treat where some1 is compaining about melee is better etc. can you guys maybe come togetter for a cup of tea and talk about all ur problems that would be nice, u can evn become friends anyway no skill is favored above an other, as the last 70 posts has shown, u need all of them to be of any danger or at least 2 its true mage/range might need a new update talking about new robes etc but better weapons or so, certainly not or melee wouldnt be of any use anymore and any1 not mage/range would be KOed in a couple of hits

well this is a rants topic so he can cry out whatever he wants... :P for the rest i totaly agree with you(undead, comp...) that you don't have to get upsaid because u lose in PvP when u totaly ignore the fact that ur the only1 who doesn't want to change for the better... you've well explained that the melee wairs DRAGON HIDE, a RANGE armor so why the hell don't u use melee weapons?? cuz u gotta change ur staff?? oh poor u, changing a whip 4 a dds costs as much time as changing staff into whip(or other) about the time u use for changing whip into staff and put in autocasting... be smart and when he puts on some less magedefencive armor u use a little ice spell and u got the time u need (anyway maging isnt realy made for autocasting so u shouldnt have to care then) so, as 1 of the other posters has said, if pking changes, u gotta change to or drown... about melee dont have to pay 4 the weapons he uses, no. but he has to train 2 or even 3 skills to be able to count as an dangerous pker and u said urself, time is money and ask any1 with high melee stats how much time it costed to raise those precious skills!

guys i just have a question... why the hell do we care they said something some time ago in a small post nobody realy remebers.. be happy man, we got our d plate, it looks nice (released a bit to late but anyway) so stop making a fuss about it just enjoy it

with ur stats idd say quite alot more than 4000... :P

about the golden years of rs around 2002-2003 i totaly agree! we were less, there werent that much highlvls then so nobody was enoyed by 20 lvl3 noobs who wanted to get some cash, nice stuff costed lots of nice money (a mask was something u could only dream of and not something u see 20times a day) etc. its true that now a good era for rs is coming: the new HD will atract more pll -> more money 4 jagex -> more informatici can be hired -> more and even better updates will come but yea, maybe thats just a dream, well see :D ;)

well it depends on how u look at things, what posts u read and where u hang out in rs itself... on the forums (especialy fansites and the lessvisited areas of rs-forum) the pll have become more mature than, lets say, 3years ago. but thats mostly because, thanks to GE and tutors, the lower (and also younger) players dont need to go on the fora to buy stuff or ask silly questions. but im now f2p again and desided to train my fishing a little in barbanian village or ive done ages of fm in f2p in GE and the pll still stay as young, enoying, immature as they used to be :(

tks for the advise about signature :D about ur post: great way to put every argument pro-slayer in it and explain it well :D

training slayer has been dead since quite some time if u trained it to get good cash killing slayer monsters. as u said, the good 'new' drops are all non-slayer and u can easely get losts of cash doing GWD than killing abysals etc. so now every1 will think 'why would we ever train slayer then?' well for the reasons i allready gave: fun, changement in training, but also cuz its something nice if u open ur stats menu and look at a slay lvl of 85+ and u are able to say to urself: 'i have done something that not a lot of pll in this game have done' and i think thats something to be proud of...

that last is quite normal no, seen that there are like 10m+ abuse reports a day (varying from offensive language, read 'he called me noob', to marcoing) its imposible to even all read them and certainly not anwer them or it would cost them 100ths of workers. also the reason fansites where made is to help rsers who had questions to help them fast and accurate, something jagex could never do (again u cant have enough workers)

ive got no idea how long it would have been, but seen i got 2 80+ acc and a main of 114 i think i would be much to much :P i even dont wanna guess :D but yea you can say 'omg i could have used those hours doing something social or so' but yea... fun is fun id say :thumbsup:

oh ok, i was allready fearing i had to change them every time i lvld or so :P well yea u cant expect to get 99 slayer and get a new task every time... that would be totaly imposible but yea, something to much is to much. i can understand that u got enoyed of getting mith drags all the time, thats like more costy variant of getting waterfiends all the time and that 1 i did allready experience myself :P if it were up to me, i would just add some more (new?) monsters to the list of tasks u can get to keep it interesting and renewing even after u reached lvl 80+ and had every task more than 50 times. dont even has to be new special drops or slayer monsters but just add some higher lvl monsters from task for lower lvls to the 1 of Duradel would allready be an improvement

to reply at the real question... i do think anchor is a good replacement 4 pll between 60 and 70 att. allthou its quite slow it hits good and isnt realy that slow, but personly i never used it at those lvls (only did the quest when i allready could wear whip) but when i used it, the hits where nice even 4 my str. of course u have 2 like slower weapons otherwise scim would still be better

i realy dont see y pll make such a fuss about getting respect... i did fm till 99 cuz 1. it was fast and 2. i realy enjoyed it (exept those last 3lvls cuz u allmost cant see urselfs evoluating :P ) at the moment im getting my str 99 just for fun and for trimming my cape (fm trimed is realy nice! ;) ) but respect? nah i dont realy care, i prefer to get a 'well done' when i own some1 with a nice dds spec so i can see all my work was usefull than getting some 'nice cape' from a person ill never meet again and i dont realy care... :P

well thats again depending personal liking and experience... i have never had mith drags for example but i did have 50 times wrapted terrorbirds or 20 waterfiends... thats enoying, but, to bad for all of us, nothing can only be fun... about powertraining: thats the whole point of slayer (exept maybe the special drops u can get), doing melee training when ur bored of only powertraining and wanna slay some other monsters u dont usualy fight. on the otherhand its true that, since the last update with points etc, u almost are obliged to do them or waste points (before, i just went getting new task, killed the 20 spiders he asked and then got new/better task) btw little question: does the skillbars update itselfs according to my highscores or do i have to change them every while i get better stats? (srr im kinda new at Tip.It forums :P )

i'm not gonna repeat everything u guys said, but its true that mage/range far overpower a melee. they just barrage/blitz and then use d bow spec or rune cbow with dragbolts and ur gone, u can even run away. melee has to be right next to it and if you fight some1 and the noob runs away a mager just freezes or even binds him while a melee wastes his time running behind him and mostly losing his prey... also, and i dont thing some1 has said this allready, melee have to train 2 skills to be a little tread to any1 and mostly even def is required to not get owned. rangers/magers only train 1 skill (2 if they wanna combo) and stay slow enough cb to keep their def low... also jagex has to keep bringing melee updates in group because it simply is the most liked skill (since it doesnt cost 2 much and goes quite fast) and otherwise they would lose their member. and since i lasted checked jagex is still a companie that has to make profit to stay alive

I think rather than more bank space, I'd want Jagex to give us a way to store our Random Event clothing besides our bank. That'd open up a lot of space for the masses. Agreed, were it not for random event clothing, F2P would have more than enough bank space. Then again, it's arguable that we could just drop the random event clothing instead (That's what I do). the part about some more bankspace is true, but about opening more land to free players however... as member you pay ur membership every month and in return its normal that you get more land/bankspace/monsters etc. f2p is just a perfect way for new pll who dont know rs can make an acc, train their acc and in the end, when they like it and they think they're good enough, become member...

lol the whole post starts with something about a drag plate and allready after 5 posts some1 comes with some bad comments about jagex... man y do u play rs if u hate jagex? go play wow or something and try a bod program... u'll be banned perm after some tries and ur money will be wasted. so i find rs quite gentle with bots or spammers

about the fun of getting 99s fast, i dont really agree. i prefer doing a nice mix between slayer and zombie monkey than only zombie monkeys and getting 99 str after not to long... but thats a personal idea anyway slayer is nice if u want to get some total xp/lvl but still want to get ur cape in a melee skill or if you just wanna try some new monsters: i would never have had the idea of fighting for example abarant spectres or waterfiends if i didnt have them as task...

thats because if he kills u, he has a chance of getting the beloved corrupt dragon item or 1 of those other special drops. the chance of getting 1 of those doesnt change depending on what the person u killed had in his/her inv... so killing pll with no armor who are doing some training is worth the risk since corrupted dragon is almost worth double of normal dragon...

this realy depends on what monsters u get... for example if you get skeletons and u wear ur salve (e) ammy and a slayer helmet u get 35% str/att bonus. that way i can gain allmost 120k xp/h... also tasks like fire giants (with guthan and/or bunyip) gives lots of xp, u gain easy money wich compensates the repair of ur guthan and the cost of the bunyip and you easely get 150+ gold charms, really usefull for summ training if u dont want to put to much money in it... and btw, runescape is all about gameplay and fun. if u look at everything and think about 'how much xp will i get' u'dd beter stop playing cuz the fun seems gone...
