Blaze The Movie Fan

Let me explain something, the reason I left is because the smithing rework update made fighting monsters to get their items boring, and also I didn't like how the items at a higher tier than runite cannot be dropped by monsters. I'm just curious in general, how much has changed about RuneScape since I left? For those wondering now I'm done for good, I don't have time to do online games anymore, real life is more important. And focusing on my videos has become a higher priority too.

It's been a few days and no reply. To be fair, I should have expected that, this forum is deader than the founding fathers. Which is sad as it used to be a very popular place but that was such a long time ago.

If you guys don't remember, well, I was once a regular poster on this message board. And yeah how I acted in 2015 I completely realize now that it was unwarranted, and I would never act that way today. How much I tried to get pity was pathetic. Anyway, I don't play RuneScape anymore, I quit in 2019. The Smithing Rework update was so unbearable to me that I couldn't continue playing. Anyway I am thinking about making a video explaining my history on this message board. There is a lot to talk about, so I think it'd be an interesting video to make. How have you all been since I was here last time? Doing good? I'm doing great, I have a very successful YouTube career which I'm very damn proud of. And I don't go to the forum games anymore because I have outgrown them, don't think they're fun anymore, and yeah I also caused trouble there and I am sorry about that, I wouldn't do stuff like that anymore I learned my lesson. I hope you all are doing well, I'm done well myself.

10 years ago? Are you sure about that? Because the site was really active back in 2009. 2016 is the year the site really started to die.

Well, I think it's time to say rest in peace. This place has been fun for years, but it's clear the site will never be as lively anymore as it was back in 2006. That is sad, but that's something we're gonna have to deal with.

Yeah, it's really sad to me. I have been a member here before I even was aware of YouTube. It really is sad how much of a wasteland it's become. But there is nothing that can be done sadly. I'm surprised the site is still here to be honest. If no one's here who the hell is gonna pay to keep it running? I mean I know it's not free.

I went away for a long time, I don't play RuneScape anymore, but then came back as I was curious and found out the help and advice forum has a lot of obvious spam posts and NOBODY is doing anything about it. I mean wow, I knew this place was deserted but I didn't think it was deserted to THIS point.

In January of this year I quit RuneScape and probably quit for good. The smithing rework update ruined the fun for me. The reason I liked fighting monsters is because they dropped interesting things. The rune maces, steel 2h swords, etc. all looked interesting. But it's all been ruined after it changed to salvages, they might high alch for about the same as the old items did, but they look incredibly boring. At the top of that, rune platebodies now high alch for about the same as steel platebodies used to. I wanted for so long to fight rune dragons, in fact I was going to after I was done killing 15K steel dragons I was so close in reaching that. But since they now just drop salvages I'm not interested anymore. Whether my issues with the smithing rework are good or not is not the point. All I wanna know is that was it just a bad nightmare, or did it really happen? I hope it didn't, since I loved fighting monsters and gathering their drops.

Yeah, it was fun while it lasted.

Just a note I will still be going back to this thread every once in a while, but asides from that I'm done with this site. I'm sorry, but there really is no point in using this message board anymore. If I need help with something I can just go to the official RuneScape discord server and I get answers within seconds. As a matter of fact the advice I get there is better than the advice I get on this message board. Yeah, I'm sorry I don't find forum games fun anymore. I used to but I don't anymore. Even if the forum games were active I doubt I would be there much.

I know I said that I'm done with this forum, but I need to address this. The reasons the calculators on this website don't work is because no one is managing the website anymore. No one is there to fix any bugs these calculators might have. Just wanted to point that out.

Thank you.

You know I have been thinking about it, and there is no point in still being part of a website that is for the most part inactive. I did leave this website back in 2015 I think, but came back to it later, but now I'm done for good. There is no point in going to the help and advice forum anymore. Because I can easily get answers to my questions by going to the official RuneScape discord server. Let me tell you it was fun on this site while I was a member, and I apologize for everything bad I've done on this site, but that's all in the past. Farewell, I get now why this site is deserted, there are better options now. So there is no point in keeping being on this site.

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks, this helps.

I still don't see how wikis and site like reddit serve as a replacement for message boards. I mean it's nearly impossible to make long detailed posts on sites like that and being able to navigate those posts easily. So how can that replace message boards? I can tell you for a fact that I find it hard to find replies on Facebook statuses, not to mention it's uncomfortable. On message boards it's not. So the fact that the site is incredibly inactive now is something I had a hard time believing when I first discovered this site's inactivity and guess what? I still have an extremely hard time believing that. I mean I can totally buy the MAIN site being inactive, considering that information is updated daily on a wiki, but the message board, I don't.

Thank you, that explains everything. Jagex just hates you dude. Let me clarify something, when I said real I didn't mean that magic trees exist in real life. I meant that they are real in the game.

I don't get this, we have oak planks, teak planks and mahogany planks, so why are there no magic planks? I mean magic trees are real. On another note, why are there no yew planks either?

For the most part I hate the Master Clue update as the master clues are frustrating. I will admit though I do like one of the rewards. Now I'm worried that because of the existence of this staff, combat magic training is so easy it's almost not worth doing anymore. My question is am I right? Thank you. I mean blood and death runes haven't been required to do magic combat training in years.

Yes, they are.

Done.

I'm thinking about high alchemying all mystic staffs I have and buy this one and use it instead. Would that be a good idea? Bear in mind I almost never use magic combat, I usually just use magic for other things.

This is something that makes no sense to me. I have never (outside of RuneScape) seen people using bows as a shield as well. So the fact they were previously longbows made sense since that's a longer range than regular ones. Why would you even put a shield on a bow? It seems very impractical to me since it can hinder the ability to aim an arrow properly.

Ok, I looked up with they do and it's useless junk. Why would I want to change my skillcapes? I have absolutely no reason for that. If they were on the ground I wouldn't mind, in fact I'd just ignore them on the ground. But I have to destroy these shards since they are forced to my inventory. Is there any way to stop getting them altogether?

I never said smithing wasn't a real thing, I just don't know how smithing works, that's why I asked. And thanks for answering my question.

Now with most skills in the game based on real life see I can see how it's possible. You cook a shark in an oven, just like you do in real life. When it comes to making bows you cut logs and then attach strings to it. But with smithing I don't see it. How does melting an ore make it into a hardened one? Usually when you melt something you ruin it. And why do you need 2 rune bars to make a rune scimitar and 5 to make a rune platebody? I really don't get that. Do the bars magically attach to each other when you make the items? I'm confused.
