This is Patrick.

Everyone has satisfaction when grinding to reach a specific goal. Even me. However, EXCESSIVE grinding (50+ hours) with no goal in sight is not good game design. Then don't do the quest when/if it comes out. The fact is, a lot of people plan on getting 99 in everything And the fact is, some people don't plan on getting 99 in everything, and want the fun without the grind. When low requirement content is released, all players have access to it, grinders and non grinders alike. When high requirement content is released, the grinders have acesss to it, the others don't have access to it unless they excessively grind skill A. So raise your skills. What's the problem? There won't be one, because by the time Jagex releases quests that require, say, 97 fishing, they'll already have a different one that requires 93, a bit of a minigame before that which requires 90, and so on - so you basically get a good half of your xp from quests and the occasional minigame/DnD, and be capable of breaking up the grind fairly well. Good for players who don't enjoy continuous, excessive grinding to get a specific quest, and good for those who'd rather grind to be able to finish a quest for the reward than go through a bunch of quests for Fishing XP and lols. And best of all, this is basically what Jagex has stated they'll be doing (I think someone posted the vid a while back.). The only problem I can see is Jagex thinking a whole bunch of new "grind" content as fun and interesting, and releasing that instead of quests/minigames/DnDs.

I saw you there, guest. Don't pretend I didn't. ...Why the hell is a guest browsing /FG/ through purgatory...?

Hey, the one good thing About Purgatory - it's spacious. Like, REALLY spacious. Not to mention if Furrlo wants out, he's gotta get his own grand scheme, not just rip off of mine. Now, I wonder where I could find a superconductor in Purgatory....

I dunno. I left him a good 5 miles that-a-way. :arrow:

So it looks like I arrived just in time for all the "omg relationships" crap to end.

Ah, nothing like coming home and seeing a good 5+ pages of /FG/ to read. I must say, you guys never fail to make me laugh. Now, I begin working on my grand scheme to get out of Purgatory...

Well, I am off for the night. Good day to thee, /FG/.

Did the world implode? No. But if there's no real reason to level it until you can hit level 84, is that going to convince anyone to level it until that point? I honestly think this is just another difference of opinion; I think that both the journey and destination should be enjoyable in RS by way of having something new and interesting (i.e. a quest, a new piece of a minigame...) every few levels from level 1 to 99. You obviously don't think the same way.

So it obviously needs work. And it'd be better if they started with interesting stuff starting at level 55 or so before they went on to higher stuff.

And when they get to the point where they start to stall, that's when you add content for level 72, 75, 78, 80, 82, and just gradually move up the line improving the skill so that players get something moderately interesting every few levels or so. (Not like Smithing, where it's "hey, you can more smith some even MORE useless crap!" every time you level)

Alright, I finished my stairway to heaven. I AM NOW ABOVE YOU ALL AND I HAVE WON THE GAM- *trips on a rock and falls back to earth* .....Crap.

Wait, I'm still in Purgatory? Well, screw this. *begins building a stairway to heaven*

410.

Do I have Skype? Yes. Am I willing to use it? HELL NO. (May also be related to my headphones/microphone disappearing)

No, I told you I was stalking Tyler as he sleeps. NOW LET ME STALK IN PEACE. I WAS RIGHT@@@@ No, when I was dead I was haunting him. Theres a difference. Elaborate please. Remeber how you were going on how Forum Gamers have ADHD and short term memory loss? Oh, right. And I was als- OMG SHINY FLYING OBJECT MUST CHASE

Then don't do the quest when/if it comes out. The fact is, a lot of people plan on getting 99 in everything, and like to have landmarks to hit on the way. If you don't think getting your stats high enough for something very difficult and high level is worth it, DON'T, but don't oppose such updates just because you aren't ready to work for them yet. It'd be better for the game in general if they go toward high-level reqs slowly, as opposed to tomorrow going "OHAI NEW QUEST WITH 97 RC REQ LOLOLOL."

I have nothing relative nor constructive to post. So.... NI!

Care 'n' share. :anxious:

Of course you're not in the FBI, you're too clean for that. On a related note, I bet the FBI uses this thread for desensitization purposes. Agent Jones: "Why would a man do something this horrible?!?" Agent Bob: "Dude. Page 1504." Agent Jones: "Oh. Well then. Back to investigating..."

Sorry, but the Tavern has beaten you to it. Like 15 times. GTHO.

You ripped another portal out to escape when Tyler killed you, remember? Yeesh. It's as though FG is full of short-term-memory-lossed ADHD people. Wait a minute... Well, I shouldnt have to explain that although I used all my ghostly energy to create a portal that could only transport one person, it would close right after being used. Duh. *adjusts glasses* Someone obviously slept through class while they explained residuals for purgatory portals. You make one, and I can just as easily make a duplicate that requires less energy. Now, hell-portals, on the other hand....
