^^yeah that. I could rehash everything I've said for weeks, or you could search my recent posts. I'll let you do the work if you really want to know my stance on this. As for honor, I don't know why I continue to pk without tele runes...everyone else does it. I always smile when I come to the person who dies with honor. Sadly it's a double standard, because if I totally get owned, then I'll run, but if it's a close fight, and I know it, I'll try to win as opposed to save my stuff. Sadly, even if I win, the good fights always get noticed by the pjers...so I get his drop, and lose my whip after picking up that shiny statue.

got my first ancient(zaros) statue from having a pouch, so that debunks that one(sort of)... I think it's all paranoia. I seem to get the best kills: 1.after dieing a lot pking 2.having unimpressive kills(26k, pouch, etc)

Very sad indeed.

It does not become more profitable. You simply make more money. I still don't understand this argument, and no one has been able to show me exactly why the positive aspects outweigh the negatives. 26k trick is bad, I agree, but not because of the inflation it causes, but because it allows pro-rates to be made by all players at all levels. (this might not be true, I would like to see someone with a 70-80 combat player post there logs) Right now, 26kers can make around 800k-1m an hour on average. Most raw materials have began to rise at a rate, where although it will most likely not exceed the rate of 26king, it will be somewhat proportional to how it was before. What Jagexs needs to do is set some kind of restrictions as to how much you can gain from pking. Supposively there is some sort of level system in right now, where higher levels are able to generate better drops then lower levels. I don't think this is the answer, as at some point, you may not be in the bracket to recieve higher level drops, yet you still are able to risk things such as barrows armour and dragon claws. Also, higher levels may risk things like rune, and yet still recieve the good drops, which isn't right as well. The 26king aspect of pking needs to be taken out. However, the artifacts system isn't going to ruin this game. Prices of items rising is not a terrible thing. There are pro's and con's, and the pro's really do outweigh the cons.

From a programming standpoint, why can't they just make it so you click the current icon and it shows the old information where it used to be? Still space for new tab, and doesn't turn everything upside down.

if it happened to you, you wouldn't think the same thing. The difference is he has a lot of money. I only have 10m cash, so for me to carry around 5m is not out of the ordinary, yet it's half my gp. its highly unlike to happen to me, if i had that much money i would probably bank it, not to mention not planning on spenting it on the mini game If you had a godsword in your inventory and it was removed, it's your fault then.

So if instead he had his blue partyhat in his inventory, and it was removed, he should be blamed for losing it? and not Jagex? I disagree. Like really...disagree. There is a lot of stupid things you can do in this game, but being held accountable for a bug just because you were doing something entirely pointless is wrong. Let's say a bug popped into the game next update, that if you walked over a certain sqaure, then your entire inventory would be removed. Then does it become Jagex's issue? and if so, why is this different? Obviously nothing can happen of it, but I'm pretty distraught over the fact that most of you continue to bash the player for being "dumb"..it's not his fault, quit blaming him. It's one of those instances of life where it sucks, but you just have to grit your teeth and take it. Thank god he informed the community so it didn't happen to more people. You show your thanks by calling him an idiot?

I was going to say I remembed it being 9k per 3 doses 3 years ago(average)...and I'm assuming those are 4 dose potions. It will be interesting to see if these items will keep rising, or if they will eventually level off. Also, I 26k, and i've also bought over 500 prayer potions recently as I like to target kill and sometimes pk the way it was intended. I'm sure I'm not the only person like this, so this could attribute to the rise. I feel that if Jagex doesn't do anything to nerf it, it will eventually level off. Also, if they do nerf it, I don't see prices plumeting for quite some time(the damage has been done)... Jagex obviously doesn't see it as big of issue as what a lot of people view it as. Edit: to the above poster, the prices aren't unique, it's the fact that they went down because of the RWT bannings and now obviously going back up. To be quite honest, prices are at levels that they were during the peak of my RS career

[hide=] You got 1 significant drop so you assume it hasnt been nerfed? My last 3 rounds of doing 75-0 or 100-0 have only gotten me 3-6 Artifacts each round, before when I was doing this I was getting 10+ every round. I think it has been fixed a little bit, not nerfed yet, but I am only getting 1-2M usually now instead of the regular 3-5M. [/hide] So because you were getting lucky before, you assume that it has been nerfed? I was getting an average of 2m drops before the update. Who's to say if it has been nerfed or not?

I guess they are ready to be flooded with requests from people that lost their security key. Seems like a joke to me.

It should be noted that I lost around 4m pking before I gained the 5m( when I die, I lose d-boots, hp cape, barrows gloves, rune plate, rune legs, obby sheild, neitiznot helm, dds; which is roughly 750-1m) and I also lost about 400k in runes from killing ankou(I should have banked)....This may attribute to larger drops, or it may not

Hasn't been nerfed yet. This is from 65-0 ep First one :)

"this isn't in the spirit of the game..." "this will ruin the rewards..."...blah blah blah Amazing how something becomes strategy as opposed to ruining the game when it could have a positive impact for their sake. You're all a bunch of hypocrites, but I feel better now that I know that you're all just as evil as I am. Btw, just kidding, I never felt bad. Back to 26king :twisted:

Last night I was thinking the same thing. I had all these plans that I wanted to do pretty much to make myself a better pker(getting 99 mage would be a start)...however I knew I needed cash to fuel such an expensive hobby. Then all of a sudden I asked myself "why am I doing this?"... The pk system sucks...I should quit.. but what am I going to do when I get home?

Not to mention all the other fees Blizzard charges for...(switching servers, switching classes)

you don't need to buy a new keyboard, as people have said.

we run into this at my work as well. The development team never meets their deadline, and the product is poorly tested with memory leaks all over the place. I ended up on the business side of things(somehow, considering I'm a developer at heart), but this goes with all big business IT. The game managed to crawl out of the [cabbage]ter, and now it seems like it has crawled back in it.

i heard the only reason to win is for bragging rights, you get faster xp if you don't try to be strategic, and instead just rush right away, taking out as many as you can...Jagex's game seems pretty linear, there is always a best and worst way...

I'm only 121 :)...

To Mod Mat K's second comment: [cabbage]. Jagex says every bug that they can't tell who lost what, so I'm going to say either Jagex is lying, or Mat K is lying. I think that it's difficult to go back and check instance by instance. I'm sure they can do it, but it might not be reliable, and it might not be fullproof(for instance, they are able to see how much cash is in the game at certain intervals, and possibly noticed that from xxx to xxx, 350m cash left the game(or 350mish above the average amount that ussually leaves the game)... this is all speculation, as I don't know Jagex's systems, but we have similiar problems at my work. We can go back and find out information about our systems running, however we don't have an actual system in place that monitors the exact data, however monitors something that could be effected by dataloss..

I've been as low as 500k before update, which is pretty rare...I'm sure yours is just extremely unlucky. I got 2m from 1 target kill, where 1.3m was statues...so

[hide=] [/hide] Wait...what? Should the rest of us be worried?

And the difference between this and 26king is? I have no problem with it but "it's not in the spirit of the game" (btw, I say if you can find an efficient way of doing something, then go for it, whether it be gaining ranks or gaining ep/gp)...

yes, I could see trolls having problems with the keys...they have rather big fingers
