Why does Jagex think that running around looking for something is fun? Much too much time is spent looking for the desired level to mine or hunt or whatever. That is fun? This mini-game is just lame beyond words. I feel like I am wasting most of my time just looking. If they want a mini-game that makes just a shred of sense, they need to give both sides the same access to resources, and the resources need to stay put from game to game. It has to be laid out in such a way as to allow a player to have a strategy that does not involve spending half his time trying to find things. I dont understand how their internal staff can play some of the mini-games they develop and recommend they be released. Why cant they see these problems before-hand. Or does just running all over the map searching out resources define what the Jagex staff considers to be a good time? And for all this you get rewards that are just as lame. If this is going to be a game for skillers, it needs to have some rewards for skillers that make it worth doing. This mini-game is a farce, and eventually everyone, but Jagex, will see that.

The prices for rares will crash.

It has just be released, and I am already bored with it. I thought that hunter was boring, and a waste of time. But, this makes hunter exciting. The last thing I want to do is run all over the place, collecting stuff I don't care about, to level one more skill that seems to have no real purpose. :wall:

What we have here are a certain number of people who think that everyone plays the game like they do. They hate the new updates, so they think everyone should hate them as well. Now, some of these people hate the new updates because they can no longer scam, cheat, RWT, steal and do whatever other kind of mischief they desire. They will keep insisting how terrible all this is, how millions of people will quit, how the game is ruined beyond salvation. They will try to enlist everyone else into their campaign to get the changes turned back. This will not work. The rest of us are not fooled, and it will start driving the miscreants crazy. They will continue to be vocal in their complaints, wondering why the vast majority of players have not risen as one, and forced a rollback by Jagex. But the simple truth is that these changes are not all that drastic for people who just want to play the game: work on their skills, have fun, do quests, hang out etc. And the fact is that the changes have actually made the game better. I wish that the game was set up this way 3 years ago when I started playing. This is much better for me, and I suspect many other players as well. As for the cheaters, scammers, RWT etc., donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t let the door hit you on the way out.

Look, just because you CAN do something does not mean that you SHOULD. I could throw a rock and bust someoneÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s window without getting caught, but does that mean I SHOULD do it, or that it is RIGHT to do it? Of course not. So, just because you can kill someone in the wild while they are working a clue, and therefore ruin their chance of getting its reward doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t mean that it is the right thing to do. It is amazing to me that people think that going into an area where they know there is a risk means that they are asking for it. All kinds of things in real life have risks associated with them. After your dog bites the postman do you just tell him that he should not have taken the job unless he is willing to be bitten by rabid dogs? What do you tell the widow of a policeman or fireman killed in duty? ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅWell, they knew the risk so I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t feel sorry for them at all. If they were not willing to be killed on the job they should have been an actuary.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

You know, when you are all dressed out in armor and weapons, food and pots, and you go into the wild looking for someone who is not all decked out, maybe just someone working a clue, and then you use this decisive advantage to kill them and ruin any possibility of getting them obtaining their clue reward, what do you call such a person other than a coward? It is very very sad to see people defending this kind of behavior, when someone does not have any intention in a fair fight, only a fight where the odds are so in their favor that a win is almost guaranteed. And all to do what? Spoil someoneÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s search for a clue reward? Spoil the mining of runite? Spoil agility training on the wildness course? What do you call someone who gets trills from just spoiling the fun of others? Maybe you are right; cowards everywhere are ashamed to have their label associated with the likes of these.

Anyone who sets foot in the Wilderness to do harm to someone who is not prepared to fight back is barbaric and a coward. Now, I know that cowards hate to be called cowards, but it is true. They just want other people at their advantage, they do not want to fight on fair terms. I know that it hurts to be called out on this, but grow up.

PK'ers don't get respect because they do not deserve it. They are a bunch of cowards who wanted an unfair advantage over other players; people who were just working a clue or something. These changes now make them fight other people who are prepared to fight back; and they are crying and whining about it. I feel no sorry for the PK'ers, I am glad that their little self-satisified game was taken from them. Watch them cry, baby, watch them cry. :boohoo:

Rares gone? We should be so lucky. Rares in one way or another are the cause of most of the cheats, scams, bots, RWT etc., that have been a hinderance to the honest players of this game. If they are ever gone for good, it will not be one day too soon. The good news is that they will slowly die out. As it is now, very few players even give a rat's behind about the rares. As the people who "remember" rares leave the game, and new people come in, rares will eventually be completely forgotten. May that day hurry.

And what was really funny was that it was the cheaters, scammers, RWT, gold farmers and bots that were the most vocal opponents of the changes, but their main complaint was that the changes were ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ get this ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ unfair. It was not fair that they could no longer scam and cheat and RWT. And they climbed up on that high horse and demanded equity when they were the very worst aspects of the game. The rest of us are better off without them, and deep down inside, everyone knows that.

I thought the whole thing was a hoot! People crying and whining and acting like they were two years old. It was great. Oh, and the updates were the best ever.

Boy, we have a lot of naive people here. I know that some people inadvertently arrive at names that are considered offensive by others. But get real folks; most of these people knew exactly what they were doing. They are trying to get by with something and think that it is cute. In other words, they were willing to take the risk; and some of them got caught. Some of you think these are all just a bunch of innocents, but that is just either your ignorance or naivet̮̩̉̉. Or, maybe you yourself were previously banned for breaking rules and just want to support all other miscreants. Nothing brings out the crying rags like someone suffering the consequences of breaking the rules.

Amid all the crying, let us be reminded that actions have consequences. I guess some of you want a game where one can do as he pleases, yet not have to suffer the consequences. When someone selects an offensive name, such as the one in question, they must understand that it may result in untoward results; just like if someone wore a t-shirt with an offensive word or phrase to school. If you are going to do the crime, you must be willing to do the time. So quit all the crying and whining for someone who knew exactly what they were doing when they selected their name. :boohoo:

Hey, having people quit because of these changes is NOT a con, it is a pro. These little spoiled crybabies are not wanted or needed anyway. So, let them quit. And let them quit soon so we don't have to hear about it for weeks upon weeks.

For everyone threatening to quit over the new updates, GO already, leave, beat it. The rest of us are glad to see you gone. Just donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t make your exit slow, we donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t want to hear over and over again, ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅI am going to quit if I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get my way. I will take my ball and go home. I mean it. I am really going to do it. You just watch me. Here I go now.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
