A friend gave me my dds back after he killed the pker that owned me, am I gonna get banned? :shock: ^^ Nah, it's just a dds. Now, if that was something REALLY BIG like a dscim, or maybe, just maybe, even a whip, wooowee. Baaa-need. Cause everybody knows that an unbalanced trade with a whip or something is a RL one, right? Seriously, I made a policy a long time ago - keep away from Jagex. Get near them, and you're dead. -.- Pmod? Not on your life. Forum mod? No way. I don't care what they offer me, I don't want nothin' to do with the big J. I've had too many friends banned for pathetically immature and false accusations, and besides that, I've had black marks added to my pure for reasons anybody with a brain could see were false.

Whenever I alch with valuable stuff on me, I always right click to use them. Just to make sure I don't alch. Might try that next time. Probably didn't make you feel better though. :uhh:

Well, for the most part I like the new music. It's the old-time songs I didn't like updated...you know, the ones around f2p wildy, lumbridge, varrock. Don't sound right anymore.

actually you would get 3600 exp... each dammage is worth 4exp No, with mage you get 2 xp per damage, and like I said, you can't hit more than 9 people.

Guys, I don't know how many times I've mentioned it, but you can't hit more than 9 people with a barrage/burst. It says so very clearly in the KB, and even outside that, from experience.

^^Ooooh... I miss those days. :XD:

I don't know if you get good xp from barraging in the abyss. You only get 1 xp per hit with ranged/melee. (I wanted to chinchompa there. :( )

I'll have to get to work on an ownage whip hit. :twisted:

No black marks, but the wannabes hate me. :lol: I've been reported for everything from autotyping to Jagex impersonation. (I'm a fast typer, so when I'm buying something in w2 I have to make it a point to make typos or the modabies come after me.) About the impersonation thing, that was on my pure. Some noob picked a fight with me, so we argued for a bit. He started swearing, so getting tired of the fight I told him "shut up or I report you for offensive language." He asked me why I'd do that. I said, and this is an exact, word-for-word quote; "because it's a service to jagex." Appearently he reported me for impersonation, and as great as our CS is, they believed him. I appealed of course --"We know that you were in control of your account at the time." Whatever. Just 1 black mark, I suppose.

99 Str. 'Cause it owns. 93 mage. Almost barrage. 92 atk. Just from random killing. I don't train this much. 90 hp. Comes with the territory. 88 fletching. I need to work on this, it's not hard.

99 str + high atk = owns def. From personal experience. :

Quit ragging on the high str. High str doesn't mean a thing when it comes to maturity...it's funny, so many of the people complaining about combat-centric players have weak combat. :-k

Hmmm... I haven't gotten around to Me2 yet, but I do remember mentions of a "dark lord" in Regicide and maye other quests. That term is very simular to "the empty lord" mentioned in the ghostly robes miniquest. We already know that elves used to rule all (or most) of the known map of RuneScape, and that certain factions of the elves are allied with King Lathas in some sort of evil whatever. Somehow I feel this has a tie-in with the entire Zaros storyline, and that the elves are perhaps working with the Mahjarrat and other forces in the summoning of Zaros. I don't know. I should probably pay more attention to quest details. :lol:

Although your point is a good one, there's two problems. One, Jagex has stated that they leave the economy to the players. Period. And two, macroers are rule breakers, they should be rule breakers, they have always been and always will be rule breakers, and no matter how it will affect the economy, they must all be banned. Jagex may leave the pricing of items and parts like that of the economy to the players, but some things are out of our control. Like inflation. And decreasing value of foundational items. Like it or not, if the economy of RS implodes, the game pretty much crashes. It destroys the buying and selling of goods, you take out a huge chunk of what makes this game tick. I mean, it's obvious that Jagex is trying to encourage player-to-player selling when, for example, you get way more xp for fletching a log than woodcutting it, more xp for smithing an iron bar than for mining it, way more xp from using a rune than making it, and a host of other examples. If you Runecraft every rune to 99 magic, you won't be anywhere near 99 Rc. What do you do with the extra runes? Sell to someone else that doesn't want to bother with Rc. The marketplace is about the most crucial part of this game, besides combat itself, which the marketplace revolves around. Nail that and the game is just about shot. If autoers help keep that from happening, and we get rid of them all, you may just killed the game.

My stats are anything but balanced, but I'm perfectly happy with them. :D At least they're all 50+, but then, most of my farming comes from Guthix anyway. Tears for the boring skills ftw~. :thumbsup: I can't understand why so many people like balancing their stats, anyways. I don't see any reason to train something I don't need or use, such as farming or mining or crafting. The main reasons I've even worked on those skills at all is to work towards my quest cape, and after meeting those requirements they just fall to the wayside. After all, time is power. Not balance.

I have to disagree with the alching bit. The only reason people alch now is because it's a cheap way to train mage. If you spend 5m on supplies --let's say that's 2.5k alchs at this super-inflated economy-- that's 162k xp for 2.5m gp, or 15 gp per xp. For magic, that's horrible. Alching isn't even that fast, you'd be better off firewaving or using ancients to train. If prices went up that high, nobody would alch, and nobody would fletch, since there's no reason to. There's a huge different between losing a little money on the side and dumping half your cash each time you alch. Do you think fletching would be as popular as it is if you lost almost 11 gp per xp and the end result is worthless because it can't be alched? It would become a relatively forgotten skill, much like smithing, a skill generally raised because it exists and not for profit or fun. A dead skill. And on firemaking, when was the last time you saw people using mages to train now, with logs at 1.1k ea? Most people get their firemaking cape with maples, not mages. I don't see why a rise in the prices would make more people use mags to fm, do you?

I personally don't rely on flagholding to win my games. A strong defence does that. I just use it when the opportunity arises. I have won MANY games with our flag sitting nicely in our base. Most of the games of CW I have played took place before I could barrage. I merely used entangle with melee, and it worked like a charm. I don't care your level, I don't care your stats, you're dead when a team gets to beat on you for 5+ entangles, even if I don't get you until we reach you at the top of your own castle. That's fun. I like defending. Actually, I don't remember the last time I tried to score, although it probably would be idiotic with my defence. But the real action comes when the enemy team has the flag and you need to retrieve it. Anybody can take down someone with the flag if they use their head. I've killed many well-defended flagholders with entangle and specs. Solo. It's all about tricking your opponants and using strategy. And now that I can barrage (with mage pots until I can get myself to do 9k or so more alchs :x ) the action just gets even better. One game, a 120 in Karil got his flag and was holding with about 20 "minions" defending him. He was hiding on the stepping stones, so I barraged him there. His team turned on me, so I protected melee, and blooded his team. :XD: Only used a few of my bandages and owned almost his entire team. (with the help of a couple teamates that saw the action and came over.) So he crossed over to the other side of the river. I barraged him, crossed over, and got him down to about 30% health with no aids when time ran out. #-o Oh well. Best fight I've ever had in cw, and they were holding the flag. Boring? Not even close. You see, whatever advantages you have from flagholding the opposing team also has. It's not a win-all, it's not an unfair advantage, it's GAME. And if the other team happens to have 10 barragers protecting a flagholder, I doubt you would have scored even if the flag wa s sitting idly at their keep. It was a better team.

So, you want to basically double the amount of weapons and armor in a game where there are already too many weapons and armor types with basically useless items? That doesn't compute. Are you crazy man? That wouldn't double the amount of surpluss stuff, it would lower it. At first glance I don't think it's that bad of an idea. After all, there aren't enough materials in the game, and this would decrease the amounts needed. But then, that might decrease the value of those materials, making the shortage worse. I'll have to think about this...

Jake, you do have a point about the raising of prices. But some things are an exception to the rule. You mentioned the price of logs raising. They can't. Try buying any large amount of magics and you'll not only notice the short supply but that the price on them has gone up about as far as they can. You see, a log's value is based off how much someone can get from it through alchemy. The reason a magic log hovers around 1.1k ea is because you can buy the string for 200ea and the nature for 325 and alch without losing too much cash. A yew is lower in price not only because of the amount of xp you get from the log, but because it doesn't alch for as much and its price is held down by alching. Double those prices on the logs, and what do you have? A useless log that you're better off selling to a store. Nobody is going to need 50k magic longs to train ranged --you either alch them, or in the case of bloated prices, sell to a store, just like people do with their willow (u). And sure as hell you're not going to throw away 1k+ gp for every 65 xp alch. That basically destroys alching. Take out alching, and nature crafting, the driving force behind rc (91 rc is about the ultimate level for a skiller) becomes about pointless. No alching, and fletching is just an empty skill that costs tons to train with no point. And finally, instead of making woodcutting more profitable, it destroys it, along with 3 other crucial skills. (Oh, and I almost forgot. Without alching, people will train magic a lot less, so Runecrafting becomes even less useful.) This scenario is repeated all over RS. Inflation decreases the value of items, yet alchemy, an important but destructive and inflating spell, holds things at a certain level. A log, a dragonhide, they're only worth what they alch for. Now, all that alching inflates badly, and I believe that's the reason behind the shortage of supplies. A year or so ago, magic cutting was great money. Now, you can still make about the same amount of money (and perhaps even a bit more, as prices have gone up a bit since then and because of the dwc), but that money isn't worth what it used to be. 100k now isn't worth near as much as it used to be. Thanks to that very reason, you don't see many people with highish stats and skills doing wc as the core of their moneymaking. Sure, some people still do, but others have turned to staking and runecrafting and merchanting and dks and whatnot, and the skills that provide the materials that RS runs on are neglected. Even now, the skills that most people use to make money are in their heyday, and before too long, people will turn from Runecrafting to other, more profitable, avenues. You can't really blame them. I know I wouldn't wc to make money. My time is valuable and while I may woodcut sometime for xp (eventually, since I hate non-combat :P ) I won't be doing it for personal gain. It's just not logical. Now back to autoers. While I (seriously) doubt they are doing this to help RuneScape, they are a benefit to the economy. When regular player skip the gathering of supplies, the autoers take over and fill in that gap. Personally, I think Jagex is too busy playing Whack-a-Macro. Instead of cracking down on certain parties that hold this economy together, they should be finding something to curb the problem with inflation.

Why even bother ranging ahrim? He's only wearing full black. I've always meleed him with no problems.

Who says it has to be the Shadow Sword update? In case you guys didn't notice, I'll quote it;. Plural. Who knows when this update will come out? For all we know they're talking about the halloween holiday event.

ALching wouldn't be profitable. If nats went down to, say, 200ea (the horror), the price of logs would go up 125 gp or so. At best you'll just break even. And if abyssing becomes unprofitable, natures will become scarse, and they'll be as hard to buy as mage logs are now.

I got ice plateau and death plateau mixed up while wearing around 50m in items and someone telegrouped me. (This was back when I was spectating the SS riots in fally when everybody was yelling "ice me") I accepted. I got to the second screen with the warning about it teleporting you to the wildy and I clicked it. Somehow the computer didn't register that. I actually realized what I did the second I clicked it, so I took 1 step foward and logged instantly. And just to be safe I logged into a f2p world to make sure I didn't teleport. :ohnoes: Gosh. Falador never looked so pretty. And man, that would have been embarrassing, getting lured in such a lame way. :wall:

Cooked pheasent (I have always sooo wanted to find out what they heal), prison key, anything you wouldn't be able to keep normally and somehow kept by glitch or something.

I remember walking up along what seemed a long road (the path from lumbridge through the farms towards varrock.). I remember the cows, and how one almost owned me, so I ran away yelling "Mad cow! Run for your life!". :XD: I remember finding some player who was low on health killing cows, so I cooked some beef and sold it to her for 45 gp. Then I logged out and spend ages studying the world map, trying to figure out where I was. Finally got my bearings, took all the cash I had earned on my trek north and spent it on runes at Aubury's shop, since I wanted to be a wizard. : I also thought that tinderboxes would wear out with use, so I made sure only to use it when absolutely necessary. :lol: And made it a goal to try to "beat" this game without dieing once. Long time that goal lasted when I discovered pking the hard way. :P
