WHAT? Yeah, it won't do anything at all... Except that players saving up all their money to spend it on a rare will suddenly send that money back into the economy... Please, god follow the following process before making such a silly comment again: 1. Actually research what you are talking about. Clearly you know nothing about rares, as you don't think it will do anything. There have been countless debates as to what would happen if they were removed. Because, SOMETHING would change. 2. READ topics about the topic you are discussing, rather than just sticking your head in, saying something completely unfounded, and then sitting back waiting to be patted on the back. 3. Back up your posts with some form of LOGIC or REASONING, rather than just "I think... BLAH. Thats all." Not that this will make a difference to you posting about things you know nothing about, and I'm sure the morality police will come put me in the lockup (or whatever that new random event is where the bum throws tomoatoes at you).

Ahh, perhaps you misread the idea (I think it was unsaid between Lim and I). We are not wanting to make all the high-grade weapons equal, merely all those of a particular TYPE somewhat equal in a broad view. A whip *should* be better than a dragon long, but a dragon long should be better/worse than the Scimmy in such a way that it makes people think twice about choosing one for a certain task. Perhaps if we started with the conventional weapons (ie bronze->rune) and then addressed the fancy pants stuff later? Also, I forgot to mention that I have only ever seen claws used once, and that was by a guy toting all the member junk he could to walk around in a free world (so yes, thats red/blue castle wars armour, mixed with blue mystic mixed with steel claws mixed with... etc.)

Oh shh, we both know I'm not funny :P. Just mildly amusing ;). Ahh, glad I could bring humour to this very interesting issue :). Can't fault you here. What would you do to attack speed, keep it the same?. I also wouldn't mind seeing it wielded like the Barbarians when it's not being used to belt someone :). Your role change would also compliment the special of the dragon battle-axe, as it would mean increased power still, making it even more powerfull. Far better than getting increased power for a dragon dagger :P. Yes. A bloke with a warhammer should kick the stuffing out of a guy in platemail armour. Especially if they were both armed with the same armour otherwise (ie, both in full rune with kite. one with hammer, one with scimmy). It's probably easier to thrash them out 2 or 3 at a time, to really get into the depth of it. Better than trying to do all at once, and getting confused. Depends on the opponant, of course. I wouldn't mind seeing people take warhammers to white knights to get the exp edge over the 2h or the battle, and staying away from the scimmy for such training. When dragon slaying, the B-axe would probably be preferred, as it allows use of a sheild. Or, they could opt for the scimmy for the faster attack speed. Likewise, the long and the two handed sword would be good to beating the snot out of things not in plate armour, but perhaps in chainmail. But yes, assuming each weapon spends one hour smacking away at unarmed/unarmoured lvl 100 NPC's, the relative exp should be the same. Throw plate armour on that NPC, and suddenly you should see a change in exp, with the Scimmy/Dagger getting the least, and the Hammer getting the most, followed by the B-Axe and 2h.

Good for you. I don't. I don't want to be forced to think like you. If I want to buy something because it's pretty, I will.

So... ironic.

Stop. Advertising. Your. Game. It really is getting annoying. THANKYOU. I thought I was the only one getting increasingly annoyed about this guy harvesting us for ideas. As to burning magic logs, it does give new meaning to the phrase "burning your funds".

Hmm, I am as usefull as a F2P bloke with my opionion of Barrows, as I have nary but read about them and considered their stats myself, but I hope I can help a little. Hmm, it really depends on your HP level. I've been training next to a bloke at the Greaters (or perhaps lessers) in the dungeon under Brimhaven. He was sitting on a sliver of health, with protect from Melee on. His combat would have been about mine. He could kill two of them in the time it took me to kill one (I was using a Dragon Long with full Rune). He was sustaining himself with Prayer Pots and protect from melee. But yes, in a duel with 2h weapons and prayer, the Great Axe is unparalleled. Not something to play with in the wilderness, as walking around with protect from melee and 1hp is sure to get you slapped silly by a ranger with bronze arrows. Wouldn't surprise me. I'd prefer black d.hide and a funky yew/magic bow anyday. A LOT cheaper, especially if you're fletching your own ammo. But thats just from looking at the stats, and comparing to how well my green d.hide works (whee) I honestly have no idea. They were the big new thing in RS2, it was supposed to be THE anti-plate mail, ultimate pker weapon of doom. And yet... so... lame... Two of them? Double the power to crap out. Open Wound? This is more like missing a limb. You're still alive, but you have a VERY limtied selection of activity. Well, considering the massive quest needed to weild the Dragon Scimitar, you would expect it to be better, but from what I hear, it's mostly as good as a long for PvNPC, and slightly better in PvP (for the prayer draining). Still very expensive to use in Pking though... Even WITH poison, a dagger is useless unless it's a dragon dagger. I rate Dragon Daggers very highly. I wouldn't mind seeing them held not like a sword, but upside down, like a proper dagger, and having a really fast attack speed. Would be perfect for a mage to carry to hit rangers with. If you yourself had a really good attack stat but a lower strength stat, you would be making consitantly damaging attacks, at high speed, but not at high strength. Can't fault you there. Any suggestions, as I'm drawing a blank. IIRC, it's advantage is that it can stab/crush/slash or whatever all on the same weapon, and is the only one to do that. But, the crush/stab/slash bonuses or hinderances don't make NEARLY enough of a difference. A dagger should RIP through chainmail, whereas a warhammer should just clang off. Stuff like that. Yeah, I was dissapointed in that too. I think the SPEAR would be better suited in the Halberds role. Spears were used to attack in rank formation, like the Phalanx and whatnot. At least it has the bonus VS large monsters, which is what it should be good at. They pulled the knife too deep. It was the same argument with the Scimmy being the primary weapon now (it was too underpowered before compared to the longsword), and the Maul was too powerfull (apparently), so it was cut back, and cut back too much. Its EASY to say that something is too powerfull, and bring it back down, but often it is brought too far down, and rather than balancing out, it dies completely. The only mauls I see these days are on people who like the look of them. Everywhere I see in P2P, it's dragon long/scimmy/dagger or whip. Whips EVERYWHERE. I agree. I do find it amusing that you can get it rarely at lvl 85 slayer, and it is a massivly powerfull weapon. Originally, it was an enormous money spinner too. Now, as you can't BUY slayer exp ("selling moss giant task ftw"), I would compare this to the early days of the R2H. Back then, R2H's were THE weapon to have for pking or just doing anything. This was back when rune anything not found in a store could cost upwards of 100k*. So, once you reached smithing 99, the R2h was your goldmine. They originally sold for millions (remember this is PRE inflation when millions was worth a lot more than today). I got mine as a gift when it was around 800k... I remember selling it after RS2 came out (I stopped playing RSC about 6 months prior to RS2.. or perhaps longer, but I dunno) for a measly 52k or something. Post inflation :P. So, the comparison between the R2H and the Whip is really scary. I wouldn't be surprised if one day everything shifted, and the whip became nothing more than a pretty weapon. Yes, and being 2-handed, it brought 2h weapons back into the fore. But no, now it's dead. To prove your point, I'm going to ask "what other maul"? Yeah, which is why we need things to balance up again. Yes, I agree again. D.Hide would be REALLY susceptable to slashing/stabbing attacks. Chainmail would be REALLY susceptable to Stabbing attacks. Plate would be REALLY susceptable to crushing attacks, but stabbing would be nigh on useless. Change that, and tweak the weapons, you're getting somewhere. *I had the same amount of money back in the days of RSC as I do now. Problem is, these days 100k means nothing to me, and back then it meant I was a rich man :P

Dude, it's a good idea, but it's not "randomly bumpable". If people don't take it on board, then it doesn't get taken on board, and you should let it die. I'd prefer that to thousands of people walking through here going "pmg noob"...

:lol: It's no fun if I get permission :P. Seconded. Really need a good smack from their parents. Again, seconded. This kid was some useless scamming scum, trying to steal accounts. I don't care if he never plays RS again he is so scared. Serves him right for getting his bluff called.

Peeved Plankton. Case closed :P.

No problem. I've been quite busy with my new job recently too, so have not had time to think any more about it either.

Care to provide any reasoning, or would you rather make silly comments?

Thats really awesome. :lol:

*Points* This guy's smart, pay attention folks. Yes, I would say the same. Makes perfect sense. Again, good idea. Perhaps when a slayer master recommends you to the next one (I don't know the exact levels required), you are elibible for a new ring. Very good idea. Stops people using them mid-assignment just because they don't want to walk back to a bank to continue their assignment. I don't really like the orb idea at all, it defeats the purpose of putting the slayer masters where they are.

I think you mean "thread starter" or "thread author". Because the folks that started this forum are geniuses. Or, geniei? Regardless, nothing wrong with them :).

Well, not everyone will be it. It will still cost ~150mil gp. Well, I think you get what I mean. It won't be as much of an achievement, because it will be more accessable.

I was tasked at killing blue dragons. I went into Members Dungeon minus my gem. I left about an hour later. Upon checking my gem at Fally bank, I found I had... 1 more to kill. Had I known that, I would have just splatted a baby dragon on the way out, so I had to hike all the way BACK down to the spawn again just to mash another dragon. Removing them will spawn heaps of stupid threads about the problem I had. Difference being, that this was my fault, but without the gem, people will decide to blame Jadex.

I like it! In an area with a lot of chat (such as when the Tai whatever mini-game came out), it's easy to miss the "you have been poisoned" message as it whips through the rest of the chat.

*Squeezes back in* On second thoughts, I *don't* like the idea of buyable skills. Why? I want to br lvl 99 smithing one day. Now, thats due to my memories of "the glory days of smithing" which was when I made the leap from lvl 1 to lvl 2 smithing. Granted, it won't be like the 99 smithing I used to dream about, but it will still be special. Or, at least it will be unless EVERYONE is 99 smithing too. Kinda takes away from the achievement a bit...

im a previously playing member too. i dun tink we shld giv them quests and a new skill. im a F2P. yea. dun giv us any more hope pls. lolz. no way i gotta do another new quest and wait for a few yrs for another new quest to be begged from jagex. and no, wad would we be doin after we completed the new skill? wait for another one? no way. so dun giv hope to us. jagex shld let F2Ps be more deprived. tts wad happened to me. i got so deprived tt i went to be a member for 3 mths then went back. more deprived and became another for 1 mth. =) F2P is as fun as it is. and no, dun complain. we hav wad we need to survive. we hav our F2P rares ( god armors ) and P2P only hav a couple of emotes more than us. wad more can we us for? and for mining and smithin, we hav the same rights as P2P cept for the mining spots. we can smith full rune as members do. who says we dont hav enough rights? go finish all ur skills be4 u start wanting more. if u guys get bored, quit runescape and come back again after some time. we r lucky alr. if not, jagex would juz allow F2P be lvl 100s max and P2Ps be lvl 126 max. if not, jagex would giv us only 1mth of F2P then we will hav to pay. if not, jagex would not allow us to hav access to the new randoms. if not, jagex would not allow us F2Ps to own rares. wad more can we ask for? seriously. i hate to say this. i dun call others n00bs often. but yea. i tink i will puke when one day, jagex announces tt F2P is for 3 mths max only juz cauz some n00bs complained. If you were a native english speaker, I would boot you in the bum right now. But you're not, so all I'm going to do is applaud your logic. You seem to have something IN that head of yours, because you clearly think properly. Thanks for posting what needs to be said :).

Adam007 seems to have the gist of what would be done if there was a problem. Heck, I would be on that bandwagon the second it happened, as I have no need to sell any of my holiday items, I just think they look cool. And, I get paid to do the same thing I was planning on doing? Cool. How silly. You need to think before posting. Might be healther than suddently having to defend your silly suggestion from people like me, who like to point out which suggestions are downright stupid.

Aww, poor baby. How dare everyone arm themselves with all the facts when playing a game. You remind me of a dodgy salesman, who won't tell the buyer that there is no engine in the car, unless he explicitally asked "is there an engine in the car". Hiding facts for your own gain is just stupid. Clap clap for you, you're so cool.

Oooh, Bubsa plays the ultimate trump card. Beat me to it mate, thanks :).

Hehe, blowing up the KQ's lair on her, then running in to pick up the pieces :).

Oooh, or a black party hat. Everyone gets a party hat, but not the originals. Call it the crown of darkness or whatever, it would look cool :D.
