Ice barrage also cost 3.6k PER CAST so it evened out. Blood barrage was even more expensive. An hour of runecrafting paid for 20 minutes of Castle Wars. That's the biggest reason why I chose to smuggle runes out of BA (and get perm banned); because my favorite hobby was so [bleep]ing expensive lol I remember when my best friend quit playing and gave me his lifetime collection of runes-- like 50k of every rune. He wanted me to use them for staking (which I did... a little). I ended up blowing the vast majority of those runes on Castle Wars barrages in about a week :lol: He was so pissed when he found out lol... good times.

As a disclaimer, I'm writing this for the random people who view this thread since I can almost guarantee that Noxx doesn't want to hear any of it :P Just quoting Noxx to prove my point. This is for Langzor too, but strictly for irony purposes. Avoiding your problems is a valid and optimal solution in some instances. For example, if there are people in your life that are making you unhappy, it's perfectly reasonable to minimize your time spent with them such that you can remain happy. If you're in an unhealthy relationship, that's bad. If you're mature enough to recognize that your relationship is bad, and you're seeking advice, that's good. The way I see it is, as obfuscator pointed out, the people posting about their existing relationship problems here are usually asking for advice on very serious issues. And when a relationship has serious issues like that, it's usually time to terminate the relationship. I'm pretty sure we've been pretty good about saying "break up because..." and identifying the core problem to prevent future problems from happening. You're assuming that, if a relationship with a "mild" problem ever comes along, we're going to immediately freak out and suggest a breakup without any explanation why. That's not the case, and I don't think that's ever happened either. If you think this is untrue, feel free to start posting evidence of our kneejerk advice. As far as coming across as logical goes, to date, out of all the people whom I've had these discussions with-- both in RL and in threads like these, there's only been ONE person who has made me reevaluate certain aspects of my beliefs, and appreciate certain aspects of the contrary, even though my overall stance remains unchanged. And that person did that via logic, rationality, and maturity; so I respect/appreciate them a lot for that. Though I also understand that logic just doesn't compute with some people. They only understand things emotionally and can only see things in the short-term. So in those cases, they're better off turning to others for advice-- and hopefully receiving valid advice as a result. If people want to fly into hysterics at every opportunity when their feelings get hurt or something pisses them off and post irrationally, that's fine with me, as long as at the end of the day, they're still legitimately helping people and improving their lives. Though I don't think it's merely a coincidence that the same posters who have irrational tendencies are also the same posters who have the most problems in their lives. Like I said before, everybody CAN [bleep] 100 different girls if they choose to, but almost everybody WON'T. They won't for various reasons, such as genuine disinterest (good), or limiting beliefs/fear (bad). But once again I think you're attacking an enemy in this thread which doesn't exist anywhere but in your own head. Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps your blatant disregard for rationality is the reason why you're so consistently unhappy and why your life is so full of drama? I know you think you're special and that you can somehow beat the system. But guess what: EVERYBODY thinks they're special. And those facts and figures are based on people like you who think they're special, and then end up miserable because they aren't actually special. Those two qualities aren't mutually exclusive. Once again I don't think anybody is disagreeing with you here.

The very first hit to CW's popularity was themed worlds. I used to love playing CW in random worlds or my homeworld because there were enough players to make it challenging, exciting, and personal. Lots of familiar faces every time and you could solo their whole team with ancients if you were really good. There would be like 20 people per team, as opposed to 200 like in World 6. Themed worlds killed that style of gameplay, forcing you to play in the games with hundreds of players, which was never fun for me. Nobody ever played CW in random worlds anymore after that update so anytime I wanted to play CW, I had to play with 200 people on the enemy team instead of 20. I think that's when I quit playing CW.

It's both

Which is why I said you should physically leave the building and go home if you are around your gf and her friends when they are high. If you were in America I would tell you to calm down and get over it, but according to you getting caught smoking in your country is extremely dangerous which is why I give this advice. "Hey TIF I have this problem with the person or situation regarding the person I'm dating, what should I do to fix it. Oh yeah did I mention I really don't like the situation I'm in and its not going to change in the forseeable future." Pretty much the main reason why half the advice given is break up and move on. Exactly this. People with healthy relationships have no need to post in this thread asking for advice. Ha but when I posted in this thread as an update a few months back and wasn't seeking any advice i was still told I should break up >_> I understand you feel that everyone in this thread is being hostile/unsupportive/insensitive towards you and your relationship... But I don't think anybody here thinks you're doing anything wrong. This is your first relationship IIRC so even if it's a traditional monogamous one, that's fine since you're getting experience and learning the ropes. Relatively sure the only advice that has been given to you (even though you probably never asked for it), is to not expect this relationship to last for the rest of your life; or at least, don't expect the current state of the relationship to last that way forever. And don't go making big long-term decisions with your relationship status clouding your judgment.

I don't think obfuscator was trying to say that he wouldn't discuss it first

That'd be funny if the first Jmod response was something along the lines of, "Dude who gives a shit"

There's nothing wrong with being selfish. Everybody is inherently selfish. Even being charitable is being selfish because by helping others, you know that you're making yourself feel good too. Selfishness is completely acceptable and normal. Being inconsiderate, on the other hand...

Well at least the pro-efficiency crowd basically admitted that this game isn't fun unless you enjoy arbitrarily watching numbers get bigger. A few reminders to those of you who have played this game for years yet still can't connect the dots: 1. RuneScape has always placed a very high priority on skilling. This wasn't a problem until training to 99 and beyond became an obligation, not an option. This also wasn't a problem until the game had been around for so long, and XP had been given away so liberally, that it became normal and expected to max out. Additionally, if you expect any sort of skilling-related achievement to remain impressive forever, as XP becomes easier and easier to acquire, you're delusional. 2. Prior to GWD, PvP (be it safe or dangerous) was the alternative end-game if you weren't into skilling. But PvP is now dead and PvM is the endgame. Unfortunately, PvM is nowhere near as challenging and unpredictable as PvP. As a result, making PvM endgame instead of PvP results in much more grind and monotony. As far as skilling goes, the damage has already been done. Offering more "incentives" to skill and grind (as if there weren't enough already) is only going to complicate and prolong the issue. It's not going to solve anything. If anything, Jagex needs to make skilling less relevant since XP is so easy to acquire and there are so many maxed players already. Additionally, PvP needs to be endgame again, or else we'll run into the same endgame problems we've been experiencing ever since GWD was released. But in order for PvP to be endgame, that would require another massive overhaul to the combat system and a removal of EoC. So the way I see it is-- neither of those things are going to be happening any time soon (if ever). So as a result, things are just going to keep getting a lot worse until either it's too late or Jagex and the players come back to reality.

It's perfectly reasonable to quit hanging out with her while she's stoned or w/ her friends. There's no need to get in such a huge argument about it though. Lots of unnecessary drama.

It's not that difficult. Time flies when you're binge drinking.

hard boss need good reward and it wont be dead content.hard boss drop good item -> many ppl want to kill him -> he is too hard for many -> less ppl killing him -> price of god item rise -> more ppl want to kill him... even easy boss with bad reward will be dead content, dead content is not determined by how hard it is but by how rewarding it is. you kinda contradicted yourself. bolded the parts where you did. like I said: not consistently profitable. uh no not really I think you just misinterpreted. The idea that's trying to get pushed across here is that if someone really is that hard to kill then there will be less rare drops. These rare drops will be wanted = $$$ When people realize the money making potential they'll go and try to boss but get their butts whooped Yeah. Like I said-- not consistently profitable. Hard to make money when the boss is beyond your skill level

If you're looking for difficulty, idk why you're still playing RS As I've said before, if you want a difficult boss or something, then that means it won't be consistently profitable. and then it'll probably be considered inefficient and dead content.

In theory that makes sense. But that's not how it actually works right now. In the past, you could go play CW or Fight Pits or go do other PvP if you wanted to have fun. Nowadays there's nobody to play those games with because everybody else is too concerned with the opportunity cost (aka "xp waste") of having "fun" instead of grinding.

Because before skillcapes came out (and later on, max capes), people considered training to 99 and beyond an option. Now people consider it an obligation.

Why do you consider 120 to be a necessary change when, according to you, there already is a purpose to training a skill beyond 99?

So that you get levels for 52% of a skill rather than 6.5% Just because a skill has a 200M experience cap doesn't mean that you can use that as a measuring stick for skill completion, especially when there's no difference between someone with 13M and 200M xp.

Shifting from 99 to 120 all skills would simply push the current game's problems to a later date in the future. It wouldn't solve anything. In a couple of years, the majority of the playerbase will be maxed out again, complaining that they're bored because they maxed out and have nothing left to do. And then they'll just raise the skill cap to 126 and push the discussion back another few years. Though I have a feeling RS will be long gone by then :P

I see I haven't posted any pics in this version of the sticky... I'm on the right.

I understand if you don't want to elaborate on your stance/opinion, that's fine. But you should know better than to share a controversial opinion on here without explaining your reasoning behind it. If you get in the habit of doing something like this, it's borderline trolling >_>

Is that your way of saying your opinion isn't based on facts or logic? >_>
