Zephyrs

I frequently see sexual conversations in crowded cities, but overall, they don't bother me too much. I know that I have the option to turn public chat off or add those people to my ignore list, which makes me more lenient about those sorts of conversations. I just don't understand why conversations of that nature aren't taking place in private chat or even friends chat. Laziness? Apathy? Feeling "cool?" I'm assuming most players are in their young teens. I was never quite that vulgar, but I'm sure I've had my moments. Children will be children, teenagers will be teenagers, adults will be adults. In time, they will learn to either not have those sorts of conversations or just not have them in public chat.

This summarizes my feelings on the subject. While I do believe that all players have the right to play as they choose (within the rules), loafing is just plain disrespect to all players involved. Loafers, in large enough numbers, can be a burden on teams and cause teams to have a disadvantage. Take Castle Wars, for example. There are two teams, blue and red. Let's say the workers to loafers ratio of the blue team is about 1:1, and the workers to loafers ratio of the red team is about 1:4. Let's also assume that both the blue and red teams have an equal number of players. In this situation, the blue team has more workers than the red team. While the red team's workers may be more skilled than the blue team's, the red team's workers are outnumbered, decreasing the red team's chance of victory. This is an extreme example, but I have seen something very similar to this happen before. Loafers can also take up "legitimate" team spots. This time, let's take a look at Soul Wars. In Soul Wars, both teams have about an equal number of players. Players who wish to enter the current game must wait in a lobby. Some of those waiting players truly want to play and have fun, while the loafers already in that game are just taking up space, doing practically nothing. The only time loafers do something in Soul Wars is to increase the Activity Bar when it runs low... Long story short, loafers can keep legitimate players out of the game. However, my biggest issue about loafers is the fact that loafers do nothing and yet get rewards. I could stand around in Castle Wars games until I have enough tickets to get whatever reward I desire, but isn't that reward unfairly earned? Hard-working players get tickets at the same rate as loafers, only the hard-working players (arguably) deserve that same reward more.

I did two quests: Wolf Whistle and Druidic Ritual. I wanted to try Summoning and Herblore. Then I just wandered aimlessly around Taverly for about an hour. After that I ended up getting lost in the woods south of Seers' Village for a bit and ended up by the Fishing Guild. It was amazing being overwhelmed by the new skills and areas - I felt like a newbie all over again!

Hello! I'm Zephyrs, known as West Haven in-game. I've been playing Runescape for a little under a year now. I enjoy meeting new people, so feel free to send me a message here or in-game. My private chat is usually on, unless I happen to be Dungeoneering (which is something I don't usually do). :) I enjoy all aspects of Runescape, from skills to quests to tasks. I'm not too fond of Dungeoneering, but it makes for a nice challenge once in a while. Right now I'm working on 99 Cooking, but I'm taking a break from that for a few days.
