How bad do you slack?
But getting from level 1 > the fast xp method is really fast, so it doesn't offset the huge amount of extra hours an older account needs to match the xp/hr over its lifetime. Plus new training methods that are faster exist in lower levels as well. An old account may be doing 100k/hr fishing, but that lvl 3 fishing shrimp will get to the 100k/hr rate within maybe 30-40 hrs, where as the old account probably needs 100+ hours to offset their old slower xp rates.

How bad do you slack?
Sounds reasonable to me :P Did you divide your XP by time played or do you not have an Adventure's log? I don't think you can realistically give an average as when the playtime occurred heavily effects xp rate. An account only created this year will inevitably have a better xp:hr than an account from 10 years ago because xp rates have grown over the years and its virtually impossible to drag tht value back up in later years short of getting really insanely excessive xp rates. What if the veteran acc uses the same training methods that the new account does? Couldn't they at least excell in that area, considering they'd have much higher skills and so they get more XP? No thats the point. Lets take account A B C Account A is created and does the best xp in-game which is 10k/hr and plays for 10 hours. Hes got 10k/hr xp rate Month later Account B is made and a new update comes. Both A & B do the new method that gives 20k/hr and play 10 hours. Account A has 300k xp and 20hrs so 15k/hr Account B has 200k xp and 10 hours so 20k/hr Another month new best xp method and account C is made, new method is 30k hr all 3 do 10 hours A 600k xp, 30 hours 20k/hr B 500k xp 20 hours 25k/hr C 300k xp 10 hours 30k/hr Give A 20 hours more playtime: 1.2m xp 50 hours = 24k/hr Another 40: 1.8m, 70 hrs = 25.7k/hr Mathematically speaking the older account is always at a disadvantage unless they get significantly more play time in. It means that as a general rule the older the account the lower the xp/hr is gonna be.

Coping with a monthly usage limit.
Video streaming, hosting a server are gonna be the top bandwidth eaters; the rest are not gonna do much. You have to bear in mind standard tv show videos are around 150mb for 30minutes and 300mb for an hour, just cause you stream them opposed to download doesn't mean this size disappears. It may be reduced a little, but not by a huge amount.

"Members+"
They are only playing with it and 100 seems a reasonable first boundary. I'd say if its a safe assumption that if followed through the categories would be better named and have more than the 1 boundary.

Finally figured out bob's note (major spoilers, post-ROTM)
Um, maybe he is tryin to stop the return of Zaros? Only thing I could really think of. Zaros plot = Azzanadra = Mahjaratt...Jmods have confirmed Nomad has NOTHING to do with mahajratt With any Mahjarrat or did they mean not to do with the MOTM storyline? He could easily have something to do with Azzanadra outside of that storyline. Jagex has been known to not clarify statements very well. They said The Nomad story line does not cross with any mahajaratt story lines; pretty clear. Mahajaratt centric story = no nomad overlap

How many commendation for hybrid boots?
You have to bare in mind "fairly quick" is relative. like 100 - 200 more wins is relatively quick for 2 pairs of boots when they first takes like 500. Personally I was somewhere between 600 and 700 when i got the 3rd pair.

Akrisae's armour
Essentially this outfit is the new best prayer gear; not a bigger prayer bonus than prossy but its got better defence and attack stats so particularly where monsters have duo attack-types it can prove good.

an offical player-assigned bounty system?
I like this though I think it needs one more rule to ease abuse, something along the lines of this player has to of killed you within the past week. Otherwise people will just consistently put bounties up against people who they have never met in order to get them hassled (eg putting bountys on ranked people in penguin clan chats so they can't boot pkers to stop them tracking spotters) or famous players. Also another couple of rules to avoid abuse probably needed: 1) You can't place a bounty on a friend/clan mate and it tracks people removed from ur list for like 2 weeks say to further limit abuse. Also can't earn bounty from killing them. 2) Can't post repeat bountys so if you put a bounty on Bob and he gets killed within the day you cannot put a bounty on him again straight away. Also I prefer Saiga's implementation of you have to read a board and take the job and once the job is taken only that one person can do it; would limit entire clans hunting down someone they know has a bounty on them.

Mouse key... Is this bannable?
Mousekeys basically act as arrows keys for the mouse that allow a single button press to generate a precise movement. Plus separate buttons to do actual clicks. It allows you to do stuff faster as it eliminates human error as you know pressing the button will do exactly what's needed. But yeah no click + move for 1 keystroke as that is 2 outputs for 1 input and thus (in its own small way) is a macro.

Mouse key... Is this bannable?
I know, it's stupid that you can't click 1 button and have a program do everything for you.... :rolleyes: It's stupid that you can press the same button several 1000 times for the same result. I'm not arguing for full macro, i'm arguing against partial macro. But continually mashing 1 button achieves nothing in game you have to move AND click. Even to clean an inventory of herbs you need 1 input to click and 1 to move the mouse

Future Update Discussions
I don't think citadels are "finished" by any means; I mean tier 7 gets 12 skill plot locations, but there's only 7 skill plots we can build and given the fact resource spawns are unique to each player and infinite there is clearly no need to have more than 1 of each plot. So I expect they must intend to add more skills at a later date. Anyway: The theatre thing wasn't added as such, all they did was update the emote page so reveal the theatre emotes as they have a use now. After all why have them there for like 2.5 months being utterly useless, plus it ruins the surprise of what's to come in citadels. Or at least thats what they are saying, I wouldn't be surprised if extra features aren't being coded and strapped on in response to player feedback; like the banks.

Future Update Discussions
I'd say it's quite clearly the clan citadel theatre; which was mentioned in this weeks news as they made a few tweaks ready for next week when the first clans get tier 5 and thus the theatre.

Finally figured out bob's note (major spoilers, post-ROTM)
Jmods have confirmed a million and one times Nomad has NOTHING to do with the mahjratt. Also NOTHING he said remotely confirmed lucien as his master, it was all just pure speculation of Nomad has a strong master; lucien is epic it must be him. And dragonbane wouldn't work, dragonkin aren't weak dragons. Dragons to Dragonkin are like Vampyres (the weak ones in haunted woods) are to Vyrewatch

The original ones were in the BH place, dunno if they still remain; but there's certainly some near daemonheim.

Finally figured out bob's note (major spoilers, post-ROTM)
Point is, remains exist. Maybe you'll have to invade their castle in the future and bring some kind of relic or remain to the past. Plus: As with all existing wildy quests, if we do need them it'll be instanced. But yeah main point of reference for bringing them up was Dragonkin remains exist already 100% definitely which covered the point of "if dragonkin are so unbeatable how are we going to get remains to tune bane ore so we can hit them"

Finally figured out bob's note (major spoilers, post-ROTM)
Random thought how awesome would it be if we do time travel to the pre-ruinous wildy (as seen in the saradomin cutscene) and we kill the Dragonkin who are fleeing thus creating the remains in the wilderness we've seen for years. Sort of another nod to the player, kinda like how we helped Sarah(?) invent herblore in meeting history

How many commendation for hybrid boots?
Work it out from commendations you have/spent Assuming all veteran games 500 wins = 2000 commendations.

Finally figured out bob's note (major spoilers, post-ROTM)
Dragonkin created dragons to defend themselves during the godwars, implication being pre-stone use they were weak blighters and were being killed; ergo somewhere there is dragonkin remains already. Plus there was a dragonkin skele for yeaaaarrrrrrsss in the wildy, i think it might even still be there.
-
How many commendation for hybrid boots?
Around 500 wins is the usual mark for the first pair. Then as said like 600 - 800 wins if you want all 3. Of course you may get lucky, but thats a rough guide.
