I'm aware. That's the problem. I don't do pvp. I just see this & feel like it's unfair to me. (In accordance with my insane code, I'm waiting till I have 85 slayer before getting a whip). Newbie? I've been playing about a 2.5 year total, have 272 quest points, am combat level 86, and total level 1406. Is that newbie? I don't see what the problem is with potions. Explain, why is potions bad? Why is boosts bad? Why is whip being more superior to Dragon Longsword 'bad'? I feel that too many of these stronger things are too easy to get. That's not a problem... In your opinion. I feel it makes the game too easy. [/hide] But you're comparing Dragon Longsword to Whip. The average joe has a whip, even the level 90s in the GE has a whip. And the fact that you can also borrow stuff, I don't see any problem in it. If you find RS too easy, either go solo the Corporeal Beast or suck it up. Tbh. I don't find it too easy. But it has the potential to be very easy. Without the GE, how many people do you think would have whips? Hmm, everyone who uses player to player trade? I disagree. I don't think people would sit around in banks waiting for someone with 85 slayer to happen along & sell them a whip. Take a look at how many people are above 85 slayer on high scores lol. ALOT, and all that would happen is the whip would go back up to 6-7 mil, thats how much they were before G.E. And the whip is by far THE best weopon to train att and defense, i went from 65-67 defense in like 3 hours last night
