I'm glad Runescape is not the game you describe.

Again: stop making stupid assumptions. Safe PVP is cancerous and useless, and anyone who considers clan pvp action to be safe pvp knows very little of clans in general. Pking, clans, ANY dynamic pvp environment has seen a deadly decline over the years. It is ruined, for the reasons you've stated, for the decline in activity, and for continual release of imbalanced content and lack of correction on existing flawed content. Just because you still enjoy the system and can be successful, is irrelevant. I don't blame people for taking advantage of it, because it's all that we have and competition is king. But come on. What assumption did I make? I said I wasn't talking about safe PVP. If you don't lose items, it is safe PVP. And safe PVP may be useless and cancerous to you but to most others it is a source of fun. People in 05 were saying PVP is broken and it doesn't surprise me people are still saying it in 2012.

Have you ever made blind assumptions before? Lol. Don't make assumptions about people you don't even know. *facepalm* It's hard to take you seriously when you deflect instead of address. Clan pvp, normal pking--you cannot tell me it's not a dried husk of what it used to be without being absolutely full of it. Because it's not. The only thing really wrong with PKing is being able to PJ people when the opponent is eating, but Jagex is intent on leaving it like that. And I wasn't talking about safe PVP that can be whatever.

PVP is already ruined, all the more reason to re-examine not only defence but the combat triangle and how they interact altogether...which they're doing. So clearly some people think it's 'broken', straight up to Jagex themselves. Have you ever even PKed before? Lol. Don't talk about parts of the game you don't use. Then all the bosses and every monster would get LP boosts as well, what's the point? Ummm, why? Besides, even if they did it would obviously be done in a way that would balance it accordingly If Nex armours gave 4000 LP, I mean. I don't understand your point, why would an increase in LP for players result in an increase in LP for monsters? Because it would make the game too easy if everyone is running around with higher LP than the bosses.

Yes. Bearhead (helmet) gives the same defence bonuses as Mithril full helm. You need to do the quest mountain daughter to get it. Also you should get adamant gloves (recipe for disaster), climbing boots (death plateau) and Unholy book (horror from the deep).

Well, when you don't need defense as much.. it's worth looking to see if it can be fixed. Personally, I find it dumb that armor/defense has no effect on damage (excluding damage soak) and only changes how often you get hit. I would rather see the damage rate stay the same, but take lower damage, vs taking fewer hits but overall higher ones. (It would lower the random luck factor a lot more) Well, playing on an account which really doesn't use defence that much, I can tell you it's fine as it is and you're just taking it for granted. And that would be fine in PVM but it would ruin PVP.

They were using people choosing offence over defence as evidence that defence needs fixing.

Defence definitely doesn't need fixing. Obviously players choose defenders over shields, being a def nub is boring and hitting high is fun.

Just do pyramid plunder.

Do NOT listen to this, play the way you feel like playing and learn about all the different things you can do. I miss being the noob I was back in the day, paying people 500gp to take me to the dwarven mine because I didn't know where it was. def nub

Don't raise your defence level.

:cry: still has curses. Feeling less hopeful about completing it now. This should boost your confidence a little

They're probably people, gold farming.

+ + + +

Pures (1-20 def) do have a reputation of being weak, at least within the 'PK community', lol. They tend to get destroyed by all other builds and stick to fighting each other.

Whoa wait. What? Did you get rolled back or something? I edited the picture.

Ahh okay, I understand. I don't care who the sitcom is focused on at all...as a matter of course I think sitcoms are stupid. But that's for another topic. Personal opinions on the TV programmes in question are really quite irrelevant. I brought up sitcoms but there are a lot of different things that can only exist on BET. Well, that's not entirely true. In theory, a WET operating in the exact same manner as BET could show programs consisting solely of white people - I can't think of a single show that follows that standard currently. Even BET can't do that. There has to be a token white person in every black programme (unless it's a real life documentary that happens to not involve any white people); just like how the reverse is true (although with that said there are still programmes on TV with an almost all-white cast). Two things with this post. Firstly, I wasn't aware there were channels specifically for Hispanics and Asians. Although in retrospect I supposed I should have assumed that, but my point still stands. Second, thank you for implying I'm a racist. This is why these discussions can never go anywhere - because if you're white and have a problem with preferential treatment of other races or some other kind of segregation, you're labeled a racist. I expect your next post to be an apology, or I'll stop bothering to respond to you. I was being honest with you. It's only when you brought up other races that I realised you might not know that. I wasn't even inferring you were racist (though I'm sure you were just dying to throw that at me). I'm not going to apologise for acknowledging my assumption was incorrect. If you want to use that as justification for ending this discussion then so be it.

Who cares?

So for African-American comedy/Drama etc I go to which channel? Other than BET I mean. A program that's focused solely on black people? I've no idea. My point is that any of the programs on BET could fit onto another channel. I did understand your point but you didn't understand mine. Most of the programmes are not high-budget by any means; if BET closed these programmes would not be shown on other channels. BET is a way for people who would otherwise not have a voice, to have a voice. I also just enjoy black sitcoms more than white sitcoms (though I find it telling you don't consider these focused solely on white people). One of those is found on every channel that shows comedy; the other is mostly only shown on BET. Yes, it is a risk for networks to play black-oriented programs; not nearly as much to start a channel specifically with white people in the same manner as BET. When I said a risk I meant money-wise. But as we've already established anything that could be shown on WET is shown on mainstream TV. This is not the same with BET. You do realise there are channels specifically for Hispanics and Asians, right? I just assumed you knew this but wanted to complain about black people.

That's just how white people see black culture.

So for African-American comedy/Drama etc I go to which channel? Other than BET I mean. It's a risk for channels to play black oriented programmes; that's just being honest. Unless it's Fresh prince of bel air or some shit from Dave Chappelle/Chris Rock most channels won't touch it. But I suppose if BET closed down tomorrow you would then move on to complaining about there being African American programmes/films?

O_o Got a list of events you guys do?
