Because the Saradomin wizard isn't around anymore.

Personally I think Holidays should work like they did in the past. Where you have to go to a specific place to get Holiday events, and whether you wanna earn the Holiday item or not is completely optional. Last December I found it very darn annoying having to drop the enchanted snow every time it unwelcomingly got into my bag, I feel the same way about these stupid hearts. If I don't care, an item shouldn't be added to my bag automaticlly, seriously it's very annoying.

No video here.

I personally don't care about these anyway, I no longer participate in Holiday events in RuneScape, but that's just me.

Well last time I completed a trail I can remember I was informed I have completed thirty something trails. I know for a fact that's inaccurate since I have been doing this since 2006, I have completed 1,000 at least.

I am referring to something like this:

I don't expect it to be easy. But I expect to get it eventually. Which never happened. I'm sure I have done at least 1,000 by now, and still haven't gotten it.

I don't want it so I can keep it, I want it so I can make a bunch of cash by selling it.

Not to mention there used to be a time where the items kept depended on the high alchemy value instead of what they were worth. I don't have my zamorak platebody now, but at the time I lost it it was a big deal since back then it was worth over million coins. Nowadays I have a dragon platebdoy instead, even though I still worship Zamorak I don't need to show it with an item.

I have been killing greater demons, red dragons, steel dragons, and more monsters that have the possibility of dropping hard clues, and not once have I gotten a third age armor, not once. Instead I only get stuff worth less than 200K, which I am fine with, but for God's sakes, I have been a loyal subscriber for years so I deserve to get a 3rd age armor. I pay every month, so I deserve to be awarded for that. I'm not waiting around anymore. Stop screwing me over by not giving me the armor I want.

I'm such a damn moron. I didn't think of that, maybe it's because I almost never go boss hunting, but instead mostly kill monsters I can kill vast amount of in one trip. I really am sorry that I made such a fool of myself by talking about something I have no experience with. When I say something stupid it's not intentional, I assure you.

I completely agree with you. I still believe the times before gravestones existed were the best times. You had your two minutes and after that it was game over. I recently happened to read a bunch of nostalgic comments on a runescape video, there were so many people talking about their first time they died with all of their stuff at the mages south of varroc and how they learned a valuable lesson from that. They wouldn't have it any other way... To counter the disconnections problem, perhaps make a system that force logs you out or teleports you to a safe area when the connection is lost. Don't they already check if you are still connected every 5 seconds or so? Shouldn't be too hard to implement if that was the case. While I remember the good stuff about dying (also picking up loot from other players), there are also a lot of ragequit moments, which seems to be forgotten. I remember dying with an (for me) expensive armor at godwards and at contact when it came out... we mostly remember the good stuff when thinking back, we rarely remember the bad stuff. I personally think the systems should be combined. You have a short timer (2 minutes seems short? not sure) and after that you can buy your stuff back if you want to. That seems like a good compromis to me, and makes death more a penalty than it is now. Well, you shouldn't take something worth millions to a place you can get easily killed. That's just common sense.

I'm not blinded by nostalgia at all. If I was I'd be playing old school RuneScape. In fact I prefer the evolution of combat system now over the older one. It makes the fights more intense and awesome. I mean sure special moves were cool, but the fact that you can do cool stuff with literally every weapon is even better.

Alright, you got me there. If someone is walking way from a monster there is no good reason for the character to automatically go back to said monster and attack. That is indeed a broken system, which needs to be changed. However, I don't think that rewarding people for dying really fixes that. I'm not saying that everyone dies through their own stupidity, but those who do don't deserve to get all their items back. Because that way they will learn their lesson.

more like 8 dollars/euro's, except maybe if you live in Australia, in which everything is more expensive for reasons I don't know of. That's exactly my point, it costs 15 dollars a month at most.

You know what, I love that idea. That actually takes a lot of effort, and isn't something you can do with just a few seconds of googling.

There are solutions to that. First off, you can turn off auto retaliate, which is what I always do. Secondly, the abilities won't be automatic if you turn off revolution mode.

I do like the idea, but what's the point in entering? Membership only costs around 15 dollars a month, even if you don't have a huge outcome from your job, you'll still be able to afford it pretty easily.

I personally think being able to reclaim all the items quickly is a bad thing. I'm not denying that people CAN die through lags, but most of the times I died and I'm sure most people die, it's through their own stupidity. Nobody deserves to be awarded for stupidity. If you lose your items not due to lag it's your own darn fault.

dragon plate is impossible to get on ironman :P unless you can get it from motherlode maw thingy. As for why its impossible, you can't enter blast furnace to buy the hammer required for smithing the plate. At the top of that, isn't Hero's Quest and Shield of Arrav required as well? I know that the Legends' Quest is required and that one requires these two. When I played these quests, it was literally impossible to do these quests without another player. I'm not sure if it's changed now.

I'm not having any issues at all. I was just unprepared when I got back to play RuneScape from a long hiatus and was new to EoC, next time I'll be more prepared. Maybe, if not I'll just get back to ranged, again not a big issue. I'm not going back to fighting greater demons for a long time, in fact I'm currently killing 15K steel dragons which if my calculations are correct will take at least a year. I will go back to this thread for archival purposes if I decide to kill greaters again. Also, I am gonna take everything you guys said into consideration. Thanks for the help.

But wouldn't I need food to survive for at least 100 kills?

Well I'm thinking about having 20 amount of food like lobsters or sharks, and 5 prayer potions. I can't have much more than that since I also need 2 law and 2 water runes to get outta there when I'm low on health.

I'm not gonna lie, I still am not used to the fact that I can't use melee on some monsters, I'm not gonna say what weapon I use while using melee as I don't want 5 posts of elitists telling me I'm awful for using the weapon I wanna use. I'll just get to the main point. I wanna be able to use melee on greater demons again, as well as red dragons and other monsters that now use magic. But apparently the only way to do it now is to use prayer. Yeah, I am willing to bring prayer potions if it helps me train the melee skill more. Would stuff like robe of Zamorak work to make sure I can have prayer on for longer? I don't think I'm missing anything since melee armor is weak against magic anyway. So that's out of the picture. I don't mind spending a bit more money for prayer potion if that will help me get closer to 99 in my melee skills. I would be close to 99 attack, defense and strength if it wasn't for that evolution of combat update. If there is no way to kill 100 greater demons and more during one trip while using melee, I'll deal with it and keep using ranged, it's not that big of a deal but it's a minor annoyance.

Now I think most guilds are deserted. There are so many places with a lot of coals to mine, so there is nothing significant about the miners' guild when it comes to coal. At the top of that coal respawns quickly so even places with few coals are good places. It's more worth it to use the ranged skill to train on powerful monster than any of the training spots in the Ranged Guild as you get more for that. And I have never used the Crafting Guild, not once. Well, alright I did use it before I became a member, but I was only a f2p user for less than a year. I could go on and on. My point is I doubt many people use the guilds. I might be wrong, are guilds being used a lot? The only two I can think of which are being used frequently are the warriors' guild (though I don't use it myself I know many use it.) and the fishing guild. The rest of them seem to be deserted as heck, and for good reasons too since there are much better training spots than these guilds for the most part.
