Whats the difference between a four loko and a Jägerbomb? Or a four loko and a vodka + red bull?

You've not even bothered to check what addiction actually means. If addiction to gaming actually exists, it has psychological origins. Addiction to drugs is more likely to be physiological, including characteristic symptoms of dependence (withdrawal symptoms) and tolerance (need to consume increased amounts over time for same original effect).
Therefore, even if we assume you're right about RuneScape's potential for causing addiction, it's nothing like the addiction seen in illicit drug/alcohol use.
Wrong. Drug addiction can be physiological in addition to physical. Physical dependence is the condition that exists when a person must continue to take a drug in order to avoid withdrawal sickness such as fever, chills, tremors, convulsions, and vomiting. This can be seen with heroin and alcohol. Physiological dependence is the condition that exists when a person must continue to take a drug in order to satisfy intense mental and emotional craving for the drug. This can be seen with cocaine.
And physiological symptoms in video games is just like addiction in drugs. If you bothered to read my first post, I cited a very descriptive example and signs of addiction. There's also plenty of articles online depicting video game addiction.
Maybe you're the one that should bother to check what addiction actually means.

Started Hopping Around after targ hopped because he was a little [bleep] and this showed up...guess i just got runescaped..
It's better than completely losing your targ bar. Sometimes when I targ hops on me and I know what world they go to, I wait til they have 1 min to 45 secs left and hop to their world. That way, they either can fight or if they hop they lose their targ bar. Although lately I've been getting runescaped and I'm the one that loses the targ bar :wall:
That happens a lot if you dont have a full targ bar, does it happen when you get your targ at half bar?
I'm not sure when I get my targs but I always make sure to have a full targ bar before hopping. I've noticed its more of a problem with syncing of the timers. I think someone's timer starts before the others, which screws up my timing when I go to hop. For example in your case, your targ's 10 mins were up before yours, which led them to getting a new targ before you managed to hop to your ex-targ's world (if that makes sense).

Does f2p have access to the duel arena? If so, that's where I went before I ever started pking. Go there and practice comboing and KOs.
-
You gotta put your combat lvl, where you usually pk, and what worlds you pk in to narrow down your likelihood of you killing us. For example if I'm level 97 and you're 126, you're never gonna kill me :-)

i dont understand how u can "loose" your social life and just "get it back"
I was forced to leave all my friends and everyone I ever called dear to me. So right now I have to start over from scratch, which is a very hard thing to do. You see when you have friends, its easier to make more and more just because you share a commonality with others. When I build up my friends again, I'll have a social life back, and stop playing.
hi i talk to people outside of the internet with 100% more politeness then over the internet thats for dam sure.
I like to keep it real.
Heh, as long as you have a birth certificate or some other proof of your existence, then you do have a life in my book. I don't see
the big urge to go outside and do something when its probably none of your business.
The thing is, I knew what it was like to have a life outside of runescape, so I believe runescape is just a placeholder until my life gets back on track. So right now I think I lost that lifestyle that I used to have, and that's why I call my current lifestyle "not living".
-
To be perfectly honest, I agree with the OP. Unlike some of you I'm willing to admit I have no life right now and that's why I'm playing this game. But when I get my social life back, you can believe that I'll quit. The only times I ever play this game is when my life is [cabbage], and right now is one of those times. To those that say runescape improves your social skills: You know what else improves your social skills? Actually communicating and socializing with people outside of the internet.
Also, for those that deny that they're addicted:
"Defining Addiction
1 The person needs more and more of a substance or behavior to keep him going.
2. If the person does not get more of the substance or behavior, he becomes irritable and miserable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Psychological Factor
Unlike with substance abuse, the biological aspect of video game addiction is uncertain. "Research suggests gambling elevates dopamine," Young says, and gaming is in the same category. But there's more to addiction than brain chemistry. "Even with alcohol, it's not just physical. There's a psychological component to the addiction, knowing 'I can escape or feel good about my life.'"
Bakker agrees. "The person is trying to change the way they feel by taking something outside of themselves. The [cocaine] addict learns, 'I don't like the way I feel, I take a line of cocaine.' For gamers, it's the fantasy world that makes them feel better."
The lure of a fantasy world is especially pertinent to online role-playing games. These are games in which a player assumes the role of a fictional character and interacts with other players in a virtual world. As Young puts it, an intelligent child who is unpopular at school can "become dominant in the game." The virtual life becomes more appealing than real life."

Addiction Warning Signs
According to the Center for On-Line Addiction, warning signs for video game addiction include:
Playing for increasing amounts of time
Thinking about gaming during other activities
Gaming to escape from real-life problems, anxiety, or depression
Lying to friends and family to conceal gaming
Feeling irritable when trying to cut down on gaming

I'm not gonna lie, I'm addicted.

I heard yaks and rock crabs are fast. But the best way to train is slayer. Nice stats btw :mrgreen:

Does anyone know a good place to use these? Or should I just drop them?

If I can do it at my level, you can do it at your level.

An all mage team is pretty strong going if used right, but of course a well placed charge command with a high hp troop can wipe out a good chunk of the team etc.
Lol not really. I actually fought an all mage team yesterday and I won using only 2 archers.
On topic: Would anyone want me to make a conquest guide? I've been playing a lot and made it to the top 1k conquest players.
-
Good fight nerf. Luckily I stopped conquest last night. This is as far as I got:
I used to have over 1800 rank but I went on a massive losing streak and was down to 1600. Then I got close to 500 spare commendations and don't feel like losing more rank :grin:
-
Good fight crash. This will be runescape in 2 years.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, I probably was the only one to crash. This is probably how runescape is like on Sunday nights #-o

I can't go on "Runescape.com" anyone got an IP that would work?
If not, can someone add me, check my adventure log, and take a picture of whatever I've done lately? Would be great, thanks. (add me on Runescape I mean)'

I hate school network, I'm going to kill myself if I actually got 3rd age, but didn't get it due to no space left.
Or I'll kill my friend for kidding with me.

You said that when ranging you should focus more on luring as the cannon will get you more kills than your weapon right? I don't think that void affects the cannon at all, so shouldn't you be wearing armadyl instead to increase the cannon's accuracy? Since the cannon brings in more kills than a hand cannon or c'bow, wouldn't you prioritize the dwarf cannon's effectiveness more than increasing the hand cannon's DPS?
-
Watched his guide and really, it's more or less a video version of my guide, only he has no idea what luring is. As i said, 195 consistent(this word is here for a reason) is possible with eagle eye, more than 200 with rigour, but it's still somewhat less efficient compared to melee because of the weapon cost(375k an hour for hand cannon, 100k an hour for rapier).
Btw, you should use fury(for prayer bonus). I have absolutely no idea why tzhaar own was using accumulator...
Ya, it wasn't really a guide, it was just him killing the drags haha. He never bothered explaining his methods and whatnot. It was more of a "Watch me kill frosties with range" video.
4) No need to go crazy with the prayer bonus, use ranging amulet for hand cannon/broad bolts, fury with runite bolts(along with accumulator).
You confuse me :blink: First you say use range ammy then you want me to use fury now? But nevertheless, you're right, I'll use the fury along with the ardy cape.
