  1. You could argue some of these points with real life organisations. We have corrupt politicians, police officers, CEOs of major and minor corporations. Should we cast out these organisations because some of their staff are corrupt? Hell no. We still need governments and law enforcers. Without businesses, economies flounder and fail.

     

    If the P Mod position wasn't needed, we wouldn't have them. Just because you say it's redundant doesn't make it so. The Human race has been to space and landed on the moon. Some people refuse to believe it, claiming it's a conspiracy, that it was faked. People are entitled to their opinions but that doesn't make them fact and ramming "The P Mod position is redundant" down our throats doesn't make it any truer than saying pigs can fly. It stinks of a "holier-than-thou" attitude and doesn't help the situation. You're essentially saying "I appreciate the effort (not) but your position is worthless so gtfo".

     

    Personally, I think it's commendable that someone in a P Mod position has taken the time to ask us how they, and other P Mods, can better serve us and needs.

  2. This past week, in my opinion, has been a great example of why the player moderation team should be expanded.

     

    Some of you may not have heard, but here in the UK a soldier was attacked and killed by two men claiming that they did it in the name of Allah. The amount of hatred and racism, both in game and off, that has occurred since then has been absolutely disgusting. People jumping on the bandwagon spouting fascist remarks with "facts" and "statistics" pulled out of thin air because 2 mentals killed someone. I completely understand the anger directed at these men but at an entire culture? They do not speak for their religion nor their fellow countrymen, the same way that the IRA do not speak for their religion or fellow countrymen.

     

    World 23's GE the other night was a prime example of a situation that desperately needed a mod or two to come in, calm down the situation and mute those who continued to be racist. I have no problem with religious debates but when people have already made up their minds over a religion they don't understand and aren't willing to listen to counter-points or be respectful, then mutes need to be handed out.

  3. Get to 68 smithing and from there on make Mith plate bodies. It can be quite costly but it's very fast. You could easily do a level a day no problem to 90. At 88 if you can afford it, you can make adamant plate bodies which are super fast.

     

    It might be worth noting that at 91 smithing, you'd have the levels for every task that requires smithing so it might be worth going to 91 depending on whether you intend to go for Task Master at a later date.

  4. Cheers man! The last few days I've been Temple Trekking in a bid to tick off a hard and an elite task from the Morytania set. Managed to max the hard companions and get the two medium companions to 79/82. Should hopefully max those two tonight and continue on with the easy companions who are both about 25/27. As it stands they currently have a combined level of 407/594.

     

    This has also meant I've been able to stockpile vyre corpses so I can upgrade my ivandis flail for another hard Morytania task. Just need another 19 corpses and I'll be good to go for that task.

     

    I've been putting all the commendations on XP tomes which has meant I've gained an agility level, a slayer level and a firemaking level.

     

    I've put my combat academy beta XP lamp on slayer, putting me very close to the next level.

     

    My total level is now 2034.

  5. Hell, the skilling interfaces - ie. When making staves it gives you all sorts of info taking up your screen room - are so in your face that it makes me positively claustrophobic.

     

    Right click the XP button, you can toggle the new screen off.

     

    Edit - Oh yeah, I keep seeing people confused by the whole combat/skill level deal. So for those unaware, if your weapon is sheathed (on your back), then your skill level will be visible to other players. If it is unsheathed, ready for slaying, then your combat level will be visible. If you don't know how to toggle this effect out of combat, simply right click the minimise button on the action bar and you can toggle it there. Hope that clears up any confusion.

  6. Skyrim had a crap load of bugs and still does, and Bethesda considered it ready to ship. I'm not worried by bugs that have appeared not even 6 hours into live EoC. There will be a whole lot more to come and anyone who expects this to have launched 100% super clean, super tight is either kidding themselves, a moron or honestly has no idea whatsoever on the time, effort and variables in an update like this.

     

    If you don't like it, fair enough, but don't deride them for being unable to have ironed out every single bug on a game that runs on a variety of types of machines and not a console.

  7. Hey guys, this is mostly for me to keep track of my progression to the Max Cape and on to the Completionist Cape, but also because I wanted to share my journey with you all.

     

    I Am Moses 2, proud owner of the Quest Point Cape.

     

    Attack: 82

    Strength: 86

    Defence: 82

    Ranged: 81

    Magic: 85

    Prayer: 95

    Runecrafting: 72

    Construction: 78

    Constitution: 85

    Agility: 80

    Herblore: 96

    Thieving: 75

    Crafting: 85

    Fletching: 81

    Slayer: 73

    Hunter: 70

    Mining: 80

    Smithing: 87

    Fishing: 77

    Cooking: 89

    Firemaking: 90

    Woodcutting: 80

    Farming: 91

    Summoning: 76

    Dungeoneering: 52

     

    Giving me a total of 2028.

     

    In the next month I intend on getting prayer to 99 with a view to get the following to 99 in the next 3-4 months, firemaking, cooking, herblore, smithing and farming. When I first started playing back in 04, very shortly after the launch of RS2, the notion that I could ever get prayer to 99 was laughable. It seemed impossible, hence why it's my first choice for 99. In the next year I aim to have all of my skills at 90+ as a minimum. I also intend on hitting 85 dungeoneering sometime in the near future, for my first chaotic and for frost dragons.

     

    I hope you can see the ambition I have for this. Start small, end big.

     

    I will add pictures of proof of levels whenever possible.

     

    Cheers for reading and any comments are more than welcome!

  8. I played for 28 hours in total, I no lifed the shit out of this weekend to ensure I made the most of it as I've never managed to play on a BXPW before.

     

    79-80 agility

    79-80 woodcutting

    89-90 farming

    85-86 strength

    72-76 summoning

    75-78 smithing

    80-96 herblore

     

    I was tired as shit Monday but it was totally worth it. Just need to get 80 dungeoneering for rapier to go with my overloads and turmoil now.

  9. Saw The Skints with support from The Drop. Was a great show in a small venue with brilliant sound, couldn't have asked for more from it.

     

    Next up is Damnation Festival, although rather than list the bands I'll just put the line up here.

  10. I'm going to explode everywhere when that record hits. I hate how expensive BTBAM vinyl is/can be :(

     

    @Topham I haven't given the new Alcest record enough spins to truly give my view on it but Alcest were brilliant at Hellfest, the whole set was just sensational.
