Must be a DNA thing, i couldn't even get one 99 in 5 years of on and off playing.

Is life worth it? You try hard, you run around like an idiot, you work, you do chores, you ****, you go to work, etc etc. And in the end, you just end up dead, why do life at all? If that doesnt answer your question i dont know what will. ... Seriously though, its fun, why else? I have fun, few of those negatives effects apply to most players, and even if they did, it wouldn't be to such a serious extent, so if i can have fun, with few consequences, then im happy with it.

You could always make it generic like all the of the combat styles. Aka, remove the spellbook, remove runes, make all these different staves, and each stave casts a stronger magic bolt than the last stave, and magic level actually helps damage, staves have special attacks, etc. In other words, it would be like ranged, only for mage, like its a bad idea, but at least half the complaining would be gone if it was just like any other combat style.

U GRAM MA 2 GODD 4 ME 2 COMPREHEMD.

And most of all WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GETTING A 99 FOR!!! The money? With most skills it sucks. The prestige (aka the cape) The... Quest requirement... Yea, really not much reason to get a 99.

Same concept really, unless you have vengence.

Maybe you should start with 1-2 slots, and a quest or pouch or whatever (somewhat like avas accumilator) gets it up to 6. Either way, great idea, thats always been a shortcoming of mages.

I never said it is. As its stands now there is no labour cost cause labour consists of walking 5 steps to an anvil. As well as hideous oversupply.

Happened to me once or twice. Hardly a problem, i think they just can't speak english.

Lamps. Because i would pick charms, but i get more XP off the lamps than i do off trying to use the charms.

You could PK, just not incredibly effectively. You could get 99 range and mage and be almost the same level, that would be effective.

No it makes no sense, because you SHOULD be paying for the labour cost, at least in the real world..

To be completely honest, in the current state of the economy, about 60% of skills have no use without the cape. Fishing (horrible XP, horrible money, horrible in general) Smithing (Horrible money) Fletching (semi decent money, but hardly any better than hunting) Herblore (Self Explanatory) Firemaking (self explanatory) Cooking " " And... the list goes on. At least it gives those crappy skills a semblance of usefulness.

As far as i see it, its boring as hell, degrades your life, fingers, and sanity, and you would be lucky to escape out of it with an intact keyboard and mouse. So, like all skills that do the above, its respected. Plus, its one of the cooler looking capes.

As long as your not being an [wagon] about it, i respect you =D.

=D

So in other words, you wan't to nerf them for getting the same EP you are, only without the XP?

I think its disadvantageous for a variety of reasons. Almost no processing skills are profitable anymore, even slightly, and are all just gigantic ways to waste your money. As i see it, it gives us some fancy looking capes, while rendering half the skills useless in making money. And sure, the capes are great, but i just hate how it works.

Actually, both have the same concept. Racism is basically stereotyping a whole group of people based entirely off there race. This thread is basically stereotyping every single person who plays runescape, and saying the have an IQ of 60. Sure, he may not "Mean it" when he says all Runescapians have an IQ of 60, but at the same time most people dont "Mean it" when they say that (insert ethnic group) can't drive/think/whatever.

I remember i started this game at the tender age of 8 =D.

DESE PEOPLEZ WON'T AGREE WITH ME AND DO MY WIDDLE TRICK WITH THEM THEY NOW HAVE 60 IQ!!!

But the thing is, it will be so hard to buy, and so expensive, getting the 99's will still be just as hard as before.

I can't believe ive skimmed past this thread for so long. Great suggestion =D.

What about both?

The sweet spot is the same level you are.
