Don't make them stronger. It'll just draw a lot of flaming and posts like "holy [bleep] (insert weapon) is [bleep] overpowered!" and all that. I like the weapons as they are now. Not TOO powerful, but good enough to draw A LOT of people back to smithing/mining.

You still haven't given up? And now you're completely changing your arguments? Nice one. Just stop posting in the thread and let it die or edit your opening post so it doesn't contradict what you say. Just admit that you've been spouting [cabbage] instead of trying to cover up after you realised you couldn't back up your arguments and claims.

Holy crap, not ANOTHER one? I'm not going to waste my time explaining why Jagex can't relax the trade limits as previous posters have mentioned. Do you want a RuneScape with less freedom or no RuneScape? Also, why the hell do all of these people claim that they have to give money to their friends for their birthdays? Can't you give tips ingame? Or give them a real-life present? There are plenty of possibilities. If you're a real friends you don't need to give RS money to them.

So according to your definition, everything other than the top equipment is obsolete. Which is clearly not the case. So there.

Good suggestion. As said, what spellbook would it be in? Would it be available to F2P?

Let's look inside the mind of this guy for a second, and actually see what this post means! Thoughts in his head shall be in parenthesis. (Oh god, I'm getting flamed and I can;t stand the heat. I need to apologize for my idiocy by smoothing it over with more idiocy!) Wow, sorry about the first post (not really, I just can't stand being flamed); it wasn't that good (It was a masterpiece and you weaklings treat it as the rantings of a ten year old!) (Think up an excuse...play it cool) I'm on my phone so...Yeh (Suave!) (Now let us rework the rant and say something I was not saying in the first post, just to make myself sound a bit better!!!) Dear Hextriplet, Congratulations sir or ma'am on achieving a level of idiocy rarely found on the Tip.It Forums rant page. Thank you for posting your half-assed rant with more errors in it then the losers of the first grade writing contests stories. But at least their stories made a bit of sense. Through using what we here at TIF like to call "Proper English" perhaps people will understand you better, or maybe not but at least you won't look like a child. You have officially been entered into the hall of fame. We here at the Tip.It Hall of Fame enjoy finding unique people like you, who enjoy the site so much, they decide to throw their idiocy on it, turning rants from serious discussions, to laughable comedy movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. You know, the kind of movies where the character doesn't make sense, the jokes suck, but the parts that aren't supposed to be funny are funny? Please walk up our marble staircase that leads to the giant wooden doors of the complex. Do not hit your head on the metal studs protruding from the door! Open the door and enter the ticket room. You don't need a ticket though, you are a hall of famer now! You enter a Hall of Ranters featuring a statue of Omali hugging a hugging smiley, and other well known ranters who have made an impact upon the forum with their harsh words and violent attitudes. Then you enter a room playing Bob The Builder atop the ceiling. Statues dot the room. One if of EatRuneArrow getting ice barraged to death in the wild he so misses. Another is of TheDayRunescapeDied...dying. CandianSmurf, drowning in his own tears. And how can we forgot the amazing Quelmotz spontaneously combusting after a hot debate? Now you shall join the ranks of the LOL Hall Ranters. You shall be depicted as a somewhat flustered man, who is getting destroyed by a giant robot Hitler. Congratulations of being a failure! Absolutely hilarious. :lol: Spontaneous combustion is positive. :mrgreen: Hey, at least it gets the job done.

I like the idea of incorporating crafting. Yes, it would deviate from the purpose of the suggestion, but you'd still need to mine "shards" of the orbs or something. I have no objection to adding the orbs to staves, but I disagree about adding them to melee/ranged weapons, as melee has already more than enough weapons personally. Adding orbs to bows and all that sounds a bit weird, IMHO. If your "weapons" mean magic weapons, I'm sorry I misunderstood them.

Utter, complete, total [cabbage]. How the hell will the lack of skills in Stellar Dawn (or whatever MMO Jagex is planning to release next) make RuneScape die? Complete lack of connection between your claims. Moreover, the absence of skills is only in Mechscape. Jagex has never said anything about Stellar Dawn not having skills. And the absence of skills doesn't mean there won't be training. Many MMOs just have a direct EXP system, allowing you to gain EXP for doing just about anything, from quests to killing monsters. Also, even if you don't get EXP for killing monsters/doing quests, you can still get money/items. Why don't you just stop trying to defend your [cabbage] claims and just let the damned thread die?

Yup. :smile:

Interesting idea. Would give "balanced characters" an advantage over skillers, as they can actually defend themselves instead of getting one-hit killed by some bloodthirsty pker or some other person competing for the training spot. This would give players more incentive to train combat, and would also be an interesting way to train. But I think double exp is a bit over-the-top. 1.5 times exp would be more reasonable based on "risk=reward".

Anyhow, here's another orb :wink: Orb of lightning Magic +34 Stab +7 Slash +7 Crush +2 Range +1 Magic +9 Summoning +13 Special Ability: Blitz. 2 charges. You hit three times instead of twice for the next two MAGIC attacks. To prevent abuse by melee-ers or rangers. Cooldown of 1 minute. What I mean is basically you hit 1.5 times as fast as usual.

Looks like a good start to me. :-D It'll be a great addition to magic, especially some more defensive armor. Currently mages are too reliant on their rather poor binding spells and such for protection, if you even call it that. But how do you plan on handling issues such as crafting used to make current magic armors, such as splitbark (if I'm not mistaken), etc?

It encourages computer game addiction. I mean, this is positive to Jagex, but I remember in the Stronghold of Security or Player Safety, they mentioned that you shouldn't spend too much time playing RS. Maybe it's just "public image" or something... Other than that, it also intensifies/widens the gap between raw items and processed items. Just because people want 99's does not mean they are addicted to the game. Those people might also do something else, like a life outside of the internet or something. It's possible to get 99's without being addicted, you know. Also, the reason why the prices between raw/processed items is because of people being too lazy to gather their own materials. I'm not saying you can't get a 99 if you don't play the game continuously. Far from it. I'm just saying it ENCOURAGES addiction to the game. I'm sure quite a bit more people are addicted to the game after the skillcape updates than before it. People don't bother to the get their raw materials, because they WANT a 99 quickly so they can show off.

Steel Sentinels. I don't know why, it's just so fun and addictive. And I'm very good at it :cool: 1803 rating and 125th rank. And to make my achievement more grand, I'm F2P. :thumbsup:

I was thinking that the rewards could be untradable versions of existing items, and that new 80+ items could be added with this minigame. I'm not sure if JaGex would want to do this though because almost all high level armor currently comes from monster drops and not from minigames(except for barrows). I don't see why they can't be achieved from minigames, as long factors preventing friends from aiding you are introduced, if enough effort is required to gain the rewards.

So why not lock it? I'm not trying to challenge your authority or decision, I'm just curious why you're leaving it open since there's no evidence or basis of discussion. There'll just be more people criticising the OP for not backing up his claims.

First off, good to see that someone actually put in effort to make a decent and well-thought out idea with features to balance it out. Unlike the thousands of idiots who post random crap that are (usually) severely overpowered. I like the idea. I'm quite sure Jagex would have thought of something like that too though. But what I think is the difficult part, as Morningrise said, would be the balancing of rewards to the relative effort required to get them. If it is too easy to get the rewards, it would result in inflation like the PvP updates quite recently. If the rewards are not worth the effort, no one would play the minigame much. You can claim the excitement is worth it, but the reward is also important and adds more excitement.

Good idea! :thumbsup: Would save us players a lot of time.

But I thought the whole point of the rants forum was for you to write one sentence which contains either a disagreement or agreement and then some sort of insult you stupid twit! Good point, good point. =D> But you haven't exactly been following the rules you yourself created, eh? :shame:

Not only are his statements flawed, the WHOLE chunk of crap that is the post is horribly flawed.

Then you obviously were not very good at merchanting. With small amounts of cash (3m - 4m) you could double your money in a day simply merchanting rune sets. With the GE you would be lucky to make 500k in a day with 3m - 4m. GE is bad for real merchants. Explain. The GE didn't affect merchanting negatively, trade limits did. So don't blame the GE, blame trade limits. Before the trade limits merchants were effectively robbing people in daylight.

Learn to read, I never said this and my earlier posts on this thread started with talking about afking mining. Where do you come up with your unique interpretations. You learn to phrase your posts properly. Your post was effectively stating that you could only AFK on buyable skills. Typical from a player who has played years and has a poor character with low levels. I happen to have other interests other than playing RuneScape, unlike you. You go ahead and waste your life away, I'm not stopping you. Just don't try to force other people to play RS 6 hours a day. Getting a 99 is like having cancer? <_< Oh I forgot your lack of intellectual capability inhibits your ability to understand analogies. -------------- Typical quelmotz you always post things off-topic to the main rant. This is really the epitome of absurd posts. You started the freaking topic of "99s are easy" and now you're blaming ME for doing it? Nice one. Everyone drop the 99s are easy topic especially as the original thread creator wants this thread to go back on topic. If you don't want to obey his orders, he can click a button and have you reported. It would help if the OP started mining sucks part 3 With the dragon pick out and concentrated ores mining is much better now and these were significant improvements to the skill. Mining still sucks, so there's no reason why the OP should start a third thread.

Yes, RWT was a problem in RuneScape for quite a long time before Dec 2007, but at that point it became more serious or whatever, causing the banks to THREATEN Jagex just before that time. Maybe they had plans to fix RWT in a less drastic manner, but because banks were threatening them, they had to make a quick and drastic move to curb RWT.

I don't think it's really necessary. You can still make vast profits through the Grand Exchange. You can still help your friends by telling them your "secrets of success", etc. You don't HAVE to give your friends money to help them. Be specific about these so-called "old ways" of earning money. It immediately makes me suspicious. Scamming, luring, etc. comes to mind. If you would be specific as to what these "old ways" are, it would be helpful. People are greedy. So what if there's a new way to earn money? They'll do both - 76king and this "new way" or whatever.
