That misses a pretty important point: There are billions of computer combinations in hardware and software and not enough manpower in the world to make a product work equally as well on all of them. And the software industry isn't alone in this, the pharmaceutical corporations have the same issue: No two people are alike. So instead of holding products until they work on 100% of people with no side effects, which is impossible, they put it out after it is effective with a certain percentage. It can be dangerous for some people for any number of reasons from allergies to sensitivities to ingredients, or not work at all for others, or be completely effective.

I suppose that Jagex getting the Pmod community involved is too much to ask for? Somebody's got to clean up the mess they left behind. Jagex's auto ban system currently goes after people who auto type for the rwt sites (visit worlds 1 or 2 in the ge to see the show). There are also some pmods who pick up the slack in the system (it has on days and off days, as they introduce new methods and jagex counters). When Jagex finally decides to turn this system on the gambling auto typers as well, I think you can expect the pmods to arrive in force, just as they did when during the phase when they were given permission to attempt to take back the grand exchange. If they can get it to the point where there are no reputable clans left, and its just scamming, then maybe, just maybe, they will unshackle their ban dragon and silver army. Did Jagex say that they'd be taking down gamblers? I know that the flowers were changed in the beta.

The blatant double standard in this post is so delicious, honestly I couldn't eat another bite.

I can understand that. The way that RuneScape's system works is that each item is tied to its own animation set. I imagine allowing items to be equipped in other arms would require extensive changes to the way characters animate and to the item system itself.

wait, you're blaming jagex for putting die in the game when it was intended as a simple tool? meanwhile, gambling groups latch onto any randomized element in the game as a staging device and were the key instigators of the phenomenon and you're still here blaming jagex for the die I blame Jagex because after all these years, they still don't have someone with half a brain vetting their decisions. Maybe it's just because I have police in my family that work in cities, but I knew from the moment dice were announced that street-dicing would become a problem. You take an atmosphere that already caters to gambling addicts (MMOs in general do this, not just RuneScape) and throw a gambling tool and you'll have a few scummy people suckering a lot of gullible addicts. Years ago I got into an argument here because I said that with each update Jagex should be carefully factoring in how whatever they're going to add in can be manipulated, exploited, and abused, and someone accused me of not trusting the community. I don't, not in the slightest. I wouldn't trust the collective nature of this community to guard a steak sandwich, let alone trust them to not completely screw the atmosphere of the game in return for some money. And I blame Jagex for inserting that first injection of heroin that has spiraled into every world's Grand Exchange being spammed with "H/C 2x 419m pot," 24 hours a day. I also blame Jagex for not doing anything about it. Forget taking away two methods, if they want to express dissatisfaction, they should grow a pair and start removing the random-attribute items or make gambling a bannable offense.

Scamming has always been in RuneScape, in force. The gambling popped up on Jagex's account when they figured it'd be a great idea to put dice into the game. Dicing evolved into a variety of other gambling techniques, and when Jagex eventually removed the dice, enough of the community realized how much money you could make screwing addicts out of their GP that it became the problem that it is today.

That is mostly correct. You have to remember that the longer Evolution of Combat is in development, the longer Jagex has to develop two versions of their content, to be consistent with both versions of the game. With how much EoC changes, it'd almost be as if Jagex were developing RuneScape and Classic side by side. Corporate could have also told them to hurry up, as Google is one of the few companies who want their products in beta for multiple years. Another idea that has already been polled here is that Jagex wants organic testing. Not just people who are in the game to methodically pick out bugs and inconsistencies, but you get much better feedback when a lot more people are just playing the game to play it and stumble across bugs that way.

1. As long as you attend four "equipment" events, you'll get one. Apparently it's either all or none. 2. Reimporting your file doesn't affect your event participation. If you had it pre-import, you'll have it afterward. As for the beta, this happens on all games when the beta goes on too long. I personally love the changes in beta, but considering that progress won't be saved, it isn't worth spending a whole lot of time on there. Once you get a feel for how the system will work, what's the point in staying on when nothing you do will carry over? It's a better use of time just to go and train up in live and wait for EoC to come out.

"This guy is better at me than something, therefore not only is he a liar, he must also be a child." Solid logic.

Of course it wouldn't surprise you, you're on the lookout for something to complain about and someone to blame. Actually, If you follow the threads I respond to I very rarely criticise Jagex, given in the main they do a good job in trying circumstances whereby they cannot please everyone. On this occaision I found it very surprising to be working fine up to 1pm & then 'Bang' the infamous 2 step start stop walking routine. So your first inclination is to say that Jagex is deliberately causing lag as some conspiracy to reduce xp gain? When Jagex originally talked about ending the double exp weekend, one of the moderators (Mark, I believe) said that the reason was half economic and half technical. Maybe running one last bonus exp weekend is their way of solidifying with the community that the event seriously screws up the game.

Of course it wouldn't surprise you, you're on the lookout for something to complain about and someone to blame.

This is the RuneScape community. If Jagex announces a bonus experience weekend, everyone complains. If Jagex doesn't announce a bonus experience weekend, everyone complains.

Jagex makes small holiday update: People whine that it's too smal. Jagex makes big holiday update: People whine that it's too big and development should be prioritized elsewhere. Welcome to the nursery that is RuneScape, may I take your bib?

K quitting rs now. [bleep] sparkly vampires. I'm joining your rage-quit, only if the "sparkly vampires" are named after the Twilight characters... :wall: Oh it gets worse, they're going to name them as puns of the Twilight characters. So instead of fighting Count Draynor, you will kill... DEADWARD CULLING! (dun dun dunnnnn) in order to save that girl whose name I can't remember but won't Google to find out.

Well don't keep us waiting. Do tell how this will crash rares?

Or they'll simply make the NPC not show up for that player.

Look again. Hollows 2487 and Hollows 24 87. See the difference? Jagex has already said that the player is banned by the time the appear in Botany Bay.

You're joking, right? As long as the guy isn't slandering Jagex (and even then they likely won't go after him), it isn't illegal to set up a website complaining about a product. This guy reminds me of half of the other people who whine about Squeal of Fortune. "People who buy spins are terrible. Yes I bought exponentially more spins than the average person would, but I'm different." This player isn't too bright if he thinks that the ultra-rare (note the adjectives) were at a 1/13 chance just because there are 13 slots on the spin wheel.

What school did you go to to get a major in inappropriate behavior? I'm trying to find a good university.

I picture the Jagex offices in a big musical number. "Blame china! Blame China! It seems that everything's gone wrong since China came along. Blame China, Blame China! They're not even real players anyway."

That was botting/cheating, this is goldfarming BloodArgon turned out to be a gold farmer. And we all know how he went out. Not saying Sonikku is, just a reminder that tip.it isn't exactly squeaky clean. [hide] [/hide]

You must be new here. If you can't contribute to the thread, don't post. I think sharing IP with a major bot farmer and getting caught with a sweep. After all, even if you were just present in the group, Jagex doesn't just sweep the group regardless of where they are from. And as for some wanna-be mod, Jagex has said for years that they don't ban just because someone reported a player. Hopefully contacting support through the email listed in your thread in rants will come up with some answers.

I hope this is a mistake, but then again there have been a number of well-known members here at Tip.It who have turned out to be gold farmers. I think you're playing the victim card too hard by changing your signature to "omg jagflax baned me cuz Im chinese! der racest," and it's making me doubt your sincerity.

I call it at 250k. Maybe they expect that this will be the first signature hero quest that newer players come across. Kinda like how they kept adding Mahjarrat quests earlier in the storyline than those that already existed, so the "first" quest was actually more of a prequel to current players, but newer players would see it first.

It wasn't secretive. It was in the news. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2011-02/25/content_12081299.htm
