what they are really saying is, you shouldn't be trying to level the skill they want to eventually get money from you for leveling themselves. I have dogs as well, i'm just gonna kill chickens until my fingers bleed and then get them. On the plus side, i'll be able to kill Elvarg before i can finish my assignment.

I was always fond of ring of dueling teleport to castle wars, then out south west by frogs and ogres

You are all continuously missing the point that this is a cash grab, a ruse. As the voting level hits something ridiculously low (50k) they have an excuse to raise the membership fee by (up to) $15. If it makes it all the way to 250k they will only raise it by $5. If it makes it to something impossible (500k) they won't charge us and admit they were mistaken. If it passes that (750K!) then they will have enough new members that they will allow it to go f2p. Are you so naive that you believe that they set this up with attainable marks? "There seems to be a lot of conjecture around the actual size of the playing community with a lot of people incorrectly assuming that the ‘concurrent player count’ on the RuneScape website represents the total number of active players. To clear up any confusion on this matter I want to confirm that our Unique Active Player stats for the proceeding 14 Days from Monday the 11th Feb was actually 8,229,459! So as to the pockets of cynicism that this vote is somehow setup to fail due to barely enough members to hit the first level of viability, you really could not be more wrong." --mod Mmg Notice that the stat is "Unique Active Player stats" **NOT** "Unique Active Member Stats", they know exactly how many unique active member log ins they get in a two week period and it won't be remotely close. This is a membership drive at best. A gouge (in motion since 50k was reached) at worst.

Yes it is rigged to raise membership fees by $5 to $15 dollars. Since 50k said yes already, your only option is to vote yes and maybe bring it down to only plus $5.
