Actually, it would mean that 5,800 + bonds have been re-traded. I know there's ALOT of people trying to flip them for a profit, usually meaning the pre-trade tax has already been paid. Just because 11,000 were redeemed for membership doesn't mean that there aren't many others that haven't been redeemed yet.

WoW hasn't had a bond kind of transaction in their existence, no. They are however, introducing ways to buy 300% exp potions for real life money, but are testing it on Korean (i think) servers first, as they pay for the internet by the hour apparently. And yes, most people are throwing a fit over it. On the Runescape side, I'm very indifferent about it, since I was calling for in game gp buying the moment buyable spins were even introduced. At least the way they did it (for now) is ALOT less harmful to the game/economy as an outright gold shop. But I wouldn't hold my breath at that not coming out in the end either. It's too bad, can afford multiple years of RuneScape with my current gp, yet have absolutely no temptation of doing so because I have a hard time believing with the state of the game, it will even exist a few years down the road, let alone find the motivation to return to it by then.

Of course. If you make things boring and tedious, then... surprise, people won't want to do them! 26 skills later and they still haven't learned anything on that topic. Well I mean Comp capes are reason enough to do anything I can't think of any reason to want a completionist cape lol I miss my comp cape, as it gives me the best overall stats for a cape slot during Slayer. I, however, am training Divination because i love having slower skills in the game for once. I feel better about my personal accomplishments when I don't finish them in the first week.

Sort of. I'll use a well-known example to illustrate the problem though... Ask me how many of potions of health I have in Skyrim (blue mountain flower, wheat, very common ingredients) throughout the course of 100 Alchemy. Go on, ask. How many potions of health do you have in Skyrim, throughout the course of 100 Alchemy?

Figured the 2nd skill would be delayed due to the delays in Divination already, so I'm not really disappointed in that. Really getting excited for a new skill (finally) so I can re-earn that comp cape. Also like the merging of SGS and LS, though I wouldn't be opposed to everything being buyable with loyalty points and Runecoins, even if it does mean "more Jagex RWT".

Just tested mage @ abyss, and im now getting around 150-200k less exp per hr even with the "damage cap increase". Guess the AoE change really severely nerfed things, wonder if it's even viable for slayer much anymore to mage instead of melee

Still curious at what the magic damage cap raising has done. Does this mean virtus wand/book barrage in abyss exp per hr has greatly increased since damage comes from spell, not weapon?

Enrage timer. Solo/duo problem fixed.

Hehasnoidea how much he really loves the puns deep down. Did you just sneeze? Guhzarfotunteid Wisely Done pun my friend, IAmGuilty for laughing at that one. But on that note, who says we can have only one pun Per post? Who is going to Miss Tree-t you for doing multiple? But I'm going to stop mine here, before I Quit For 07.

I'm sorry to say, but I was a staker for a while myself, and managed to at least hit 25b doing so. I will always consider someone making even 1b from merchanting, herb runs, bossing, etc much more impressive than the 25b I made from 100m in 2 weeks, even if it took them 1 year to make. Staking was (mostly) luck, and was almost entirely effortless, versus spending much more time and effort sitting in world 2 trying to flip phats. Anyways, on the botting subject, I have absolutely no sympathy for any of those bans, especially completionist botters. If you really need to have a program play your game for you at that kind of level, then you shouldn't be playing the game.

Finally some captain luck! Rolled 10k Seafaring captain, came with zero traits and best of all, a 60 personal seafaring bonus :D Happy camper here!

Really wish Greater Demons were added to that list, so we can get more Slayer exp from them. Current exp is abysmal :(

Wish I could say I was shocked...

Obviously not an exact confirmation, as we all know that "Dust Devils don't drop Dragon Chainbodies" (confirmed by numerous Jmods), but still interesting. Also could be typical Jagex trickery where they don't lower the exp, just the frequency.

They did say they were in process of adding F2p back to hi-scores around 6 months ago, can't find the exact quote, but obviously they went back on their word again, not exactly anything new with them...

Just thought I'd drop in and post this: 2) Will F2P be added back to the hiscores? If not, why not? If so, how are we tackling bots skewing the scores? Unfortunately we’re not going to be adding free-to-play players back into the Highscores. Highscores (both the current and Seasonal) will remain a members only feature. We’ll be keeping an eye on bot activity, but will ideally be aiming to create Seasonal High Scores which are more difficult to bot. [qfc]298-299-423-64991725[/qfc] Just can't trust anything Jagex says anymore...

Yes, quite easily can get 200m mining in 11 years, should def go for it :P

This :D

In case it hasn't been mentioned here, you can die with Superior Port gear to get gp upon dying. This would be done with a friend obviously to get the money and then give back to you, which of course comes with risks. The following are the gp that gets dropped upon death for each item: Tetsu Helm - 66,337,470 Tetsu Plate - 123,980,946 Tetsu Legs - 93,153,130 Sea Singer's Hood - 25,169,999 Sea Singer's Robe Top - 31,445,296 Sea Singer's Robe Bottoms - 26,920,222 Death Lotus Hood - 23,603,222 Death Lotus Chestplate - 40,152,523 Death Lotus Chaps - 32,472,400 If this is not allowed, feel free to remove, just thought I'd mention it here.

$100 CAD (450 Spins) -> 3,922,697 Slayer Exp (level 99), 40 Small Gems, 16 Prismatic, 4 Random Skill Pendants. All rare hits were Exp booster clothing / medium cash bags, and one super rare (huge xp magic lamp). That comes to 39,227 Slayer exp / $ Based on blackmarket GP costs, that comes to 76.47 GP / Xp 8,717 Slayer exp per spin

Am I the only one most excited about the customizable interface / better draw distances? Can't bloody wait for those :D

The exp is increased with the hp increase. This is actually a huge buff in a way, it makes all those slay tasks not worth doing due to abysmal slayer exp much more worth it. Sure it takes 2x longer to kill, but it's also 2x more exp, making tasks last much longer for more consistent exp.

Hasn't that account name been sold from player (read: dice host) to player (read: dice host) ... Oops. I sniped it and have had it since August 2012. Was running an fc with it but guess not anymore. Funny how you were selling it on a specific blackmarket site as of mid November, should have taken that 350m offer. OT: Another update done to make this game safer and require less responsibility, should be great for the majority :) I do like these obsidian gear changes though, have to check those out, might actually be viable to use :o

And considering people can scam by selling gear to others, then that shouldn't be allowed either. Since hosts don't always scam (I'd believe the majority of them don't to be honest), and not all gear sellers scam, I believe we should just bring back the trade limit then, because if people can scam, it's not worth playing.
