Bucket of sand owns you all! :thumbsup: You should check out how much those things sell for on forums. IRL...its like...yeah. Kids toy you empty out after you head back from the beach.

Mighty magical mystic magic. :lol: Gotta love spellcasters.

Am I the only person who doesn't care if the autoers get banned? The economy is bad enough already. Yews are out of control. Mages can't go any higher than they are now or longs would be unalchable. Crafting sinks you and prayer has gone up. Spend a few minutes in any active seers bank and watch how fast someone selling 100 mages sells his logs. :anxious: There's a huge shortage of supplies. Autoers fix that problem. Sure, we all hate them. They're breaking the rules and getting noobies banned for buying gp for rl cash. But they're about the only thing keeping this game from spinning out of control. I hope the autoers come back, to be honest. So shoot me. I want to skill.

Proof? I heard that rumor - I do know for a fact Larryr was deleted off the highscores for a while :shock: Looked it up myself. But now he's back, so I guess he got off the hook. Don't know the entire story though.

Ah, shadup about RSC. I'm sick of hearing people say "RS2 is noob, look at all the crappy updates", or in your case; "RS2 stinks, too much money in the game." If Rs2 had never come out and we were still playing RSC, guess what would be getting the excessive amounts of cash and all the crappy update? That's right. Good ol' RSC.

Nitpick: You can't get 6 tickets an hour. 5 minutes between games. \ The rangers in your plan could be bypassed. All you need is meleers in Ah/dhides. Have the barragers pin down any enemy mages, and trust me, the meleers will have fun. :thumbsup: And 2 barragers would hold down most attacks easily. If anything, you should have more meleers.

Ok, I'm going to have to stop you here. I used to be f2p, and pking as a mage SUCKS. A 5 second bind is not useful for anything but stopping runners and escaping. The traditional snare 'n' attack used by traditional mages is a joke with bind. A mage has no choice but to fight up front, and with a pathetic 16 max (16? I can punch that.) and no armor, you won't last long doing that. Free fire strike? Are you kidding? Not only is that the worst way to train magic, the only way it could be "free" is to runecraft, and the amount of time it takes to get those supplies is crazy. If you seriously believe mages get easy training through runecrafting firestrikes, you shouldn't be complaining. Thinking that way, you're in ranger heaven ranging minotaurs. Done right, you'll never run out of arrows there. I'm not going to say much here, other than the fact that a ranger on rapid hits twice as fast as a mage. And pking with a rune baxe is just stupid. Second, 100 deaths hovers around 30k, and 100 natures about the same. That's 60k in your inventory, and you won't keep any of that if you die. A ranger wears greenhides (15k for set? And you can protect that, unlike stackable runes.), a worthless maple bow, and maybe a power ammy. If he's brave. A meleer takes 240k+ out. Don't get me started about how "expensive" addy arrows are. At leat you get to reuse them. When was the last time you saw a mage reusing their 400gp plus blasts? One; get members. Two; mages have the same problem in f2p, unless they like pking with firestrike. Three; you do have places to train for cheap. Just find them. (I know I did when I was f2p) and four; Ranged is more balanced in f2p than p2p. You think its bad there? Just wait. F2p is currently the peak of ranged.

Too much like trammel for UO, and if that taught us anything it means that the "zammy zone" will be completly void of life except for the "portal" when you get there. It'd be a distaster IMO. I agree with bluelancer that there needs to be an incenitive. Plus, think about it, are you going to go train naked? No, you'll have equipment -- equipment you can use to fight. It wouldn't replace the current wilderness --merely another place for pvp. But I do agree, the entry portal would probably be the only spot populated (except for perhaps roving teams of pkers). Just an idea I thought up in my free time. I don't even like it myself much, after I thought it over. I really am serious about the second suggestion, however. I don't know how many kills I've lost to aggressive NPCs 1/7 my level. That would help out pkers while still making single-zone safer than multi.

:shock: I have a friend IRL named Titus, and I thought no other parent would give their kid a name like that.

Please, 10 pray pots is ridiculous. I used a total of two. And I used swordfish. But do you see my saying Owned! ? No, I didn't think so. IMO, fun quest, not too hard. I think I did it at... 76 combat? But did you do it with 45 def? I don't think so... And swordfish are 14 hp ea. Salmon are 9. So yeah; \ Owned.

Fighter torso has amazing defence? Puh-lease. Perhaps one of the reasons for all the untradeable stuff is an attempt to drain cash out of the game. Think about it. When was the last time you bought mystic from the mages guild? Never. After a sufficient supply gets into the game, players just buy from players. Untradeable stops that. You only have 1 source of an item (barrows gloves from the chest, for example.) A pair of barrows gloves will ALWAYS be worth 130k, because you can only get them for that much. Nothing less.

I can smell it. Can anybody smell it? FYI, "it" is all the "dreams" people are making up in this thread. Most of these "I dreamed I pk'd a santa/blah bla blah" dreams were thought up when the poster opened this thread. :

Instead of pk-only servers, introduce a new quest. Something to do with Guthix and balance and Void Knights and all that jazz. When you beat it, you can talk to this wise sage dude that shows you what it would be like if Guthix hadn't shown up in the god wars --a world where Saradomin wins, and a world where Zamorak wins. (Something like an alternate plane of RuneScape.) Sara world would be boring. Zammy world would be wilderness practically everywhere, the level varying, depending on how far you are from a city. (Such as making level 1-5 in a city, but increasing outside the walls.) Maybe even throw in a nice xp bonus for training there thanks to all the extra risks. (5 xp per hit or something.) If you die, you lose everything. On second thought, scratch it. People would still hug the safer areas. Or maybe single combat means you are limited to being attacked by one NPC and one player at a time? No monster-hugging. \ Sure, it'd be rougher fighting the chaos elemental. (But then, you can get any of his drops outside the wildy anyway.)

You can't boost stats for every quest. I hate mining, so when I got around to doing Lunar Diplomacy, I still had 59 mining and a 60 req. I had planned on using a stout, so when I got to the docks and talked to that wannabe pirate to start the quest I found out that he sees right through boosted stats. Not true for all quests, but some of the more recent ones won't let you start without natural stats.

Anybody else notice this? Jagex is breaking their own filter...o.O

:lol: If you think you pwn dressed like that, stake me. Nah, I dont feel weak. i could copy that almost exactly, and still probably win alot of duels. I could win armor duels in full bronze...just duel levels 90s. Doesn't mean the gear's good.

:lol: If you think you pwn dressed like that, stake me. Nah, I dont feel weak.

Lol @ everybody that used sharks for dt. Beat that quest with 45 def 80 something combat with no better food than salmon (left over from f2p fishing) and 10 pray pots. :thumbsup: Owned.

It doesn't matter if its unfair. It's game. I've been playing a LOT of cw lately, saving up for gold...the next game I play will be the 19th game of a win streak. No, I'm not going to tell my strategy (and it doesn't involve ancients), but I can say that my wins revolve around weak teamwork on the opposing team. Flags have been retrived that were guarded by as many as 4 barragers. It's entirely possible. If you can't, it's your team's fault, just like it was that you lost your flag. A loss is not because they held the flag, it's because we didn't play well. That's not cheating.

I have a skillcape, and I (and almost every single one of the other capers out there) wouldn't moan -- still doesn't mean it's gonna be added. After all, they are Master capes, and if you are supposed to be the absolute best you can be in that skill, mistakes like these wouldn't be likely. Fun to see, though. :thumbsup:

You seriously believe that the mere fact that your skillcape emote could show your character goofing makes it humiliating to show? :XD: It wouldn't be humiliating in the least. I can't see ANYBODY afraid to use their agility emote because they might slip on one of the poles. Imagine if Jagex releases these updated emotes --just like when the capes were originally released, players would gather around the people with a cape to watch the emote. This gives more players another chance to show off their stat. Watching the strength dumbell fall on your toe doesn't compare with losing a fight to someone half your level. Goofing the emote isn't failure, and to think that the fact a player would have no problem with showing that emote doesn't reflect on their sense of humor.

Ok... What makes an activity, in RS or otherwise, a "good moneymaker"? Low cost and (relative) ease of production, high profits, a steady market, and easy access to materials. Like alching yew longs. Although what used to be a fairly popular way to train fletching and magic has now been practically crashed thanks to pures buying the yews off of fletchers to alch, you can still break even if you play your cards right. That is, at current prices. Yew log = ~275 gp (F2P Sources) Nature = 300 gp (Members source) Bowstring = ~180 gp (Members source) Total: 755 gp per bow Alch value: 768 gp ea Profit: 13gp A loss of 17 gp per with the market at its current power. Now lets take f2p out of the equasion, and as you predicted, the value of a yew log goes up. Yew log = ~550 gp Nature = 300 gp Bowstring = ~180 gp Total: 1030gp per bow Alch value: 768gp ea Profit: -268gp The result of removing f2p? Nobody buys yews, except for perhaps the ocasional merchant working towards a firemaking cape. Yews lose almost all value. Now, besides the direct effect to yews, there's a related effect on other areas of the market as well. More players shift from making yew longs to magic, increasing demand and price, and the marginal profit that can be made from magic longs goes into the negatives. This is just one of the many ways the economy would be affected by removing f2p. Go in-depth, and you'd find many, many other ways that would pull members up short. And personally, I know I would not be a member had it not been for the time I had spent in f2p.

I gotta get in on this before it gets nerfed. Time to stock up.
