Why are we mean to noobs?
Actually, the question you want to ask is "Why has Tipit's community gone so far downhill as to become very unfriendly towards new or younger players?" My answer would be that all the rejects from the official forums that got banned or need fancy graphics to make themselves look better migrated over here. You won't find a thread in this place anymore without some idiot trolling around being a slayer nazi or writing fail or +1 after some post. Tipit 2 years ago and tipit now are unrecognizable, and to be honest I get more out of the official forums these days.

A Roll-Back.
I can only remember one roll-back in my 4 years of playing. I think it was in the summer of 05. I think it was because the login servers crashed hard and the game was out for a few days. Runescape is run way more reliablely nowadays compared to the early days. The rule of thumb used to be to log in and out every hour or after you gained a level to make sure your progress was saved. People were just as upset with all the lost progess as people are about losing stuff to this.

Another Anti-Gameplay Update from Jagex
Looks like somebody can't trade their 3rd age for $$$ now. Cry more please... :lol:

The crash code - µ
They should be rolled back, yes. And, that .gif was making the rounds on IRC. Ugh, people who are reading this thread most likely already know "the code". (Response to someone saying those pictures should be removed.) I do believe BH/PVP should be rolled back. Normal gameplay, shouldn't. Accounts that did the bug not be permanently banned, or IP banned but just warned. People that did the bug in a safe area, including the Grand Exchange on a safe world should be just warned, also. Warned? For deliberately abusing a bug which basically lets you steal other people's stuff? You knowingly (else you wouldn't type in the code) abuse this bug for personal gain over the backs of other players. Can it be any more abusive? Ban them, hard, permanently, no appeal. What? Jagex would sooner wish to lose 100's of accounts that pay membership than to just do a rollback? Temporary ban, at most I say. :| Keep praying for yourself and your other sad sack bug abusing, RWTing friends, but they gave away tens of thousands of accounts with trade and wilderness removal. But, I'd like to be the first to say "good riddance" to you. :lol:
-
The crash code - µ
Well lets see since Jagex has a log of undisclosed length of all your inputs into the game its real simple for them to run a search on who entered the code. Lets see... 1 or 2 times, account dissable for 24 hrs while issue ressolved. <5 times, temp ban for a few weeks. 10+, perm ban on all linked accounts. Just an educated guess. :idea:

Holiday Musings and a permanent solution to rares
I could care less about the old rares tradeable or not. I have none, nor will I cry about. But the new rares (3rd, and spirit shields) are just obnoxious avenues for RWTing. Jagex has shown the propensity to continual make the same mistakes over and over again. I wish the new CEO was smart enough to figure this out at least. Also if you think that life is fair, then you haven't lived very much or your as stupid as one of them Hilton girls. I guess you have no idea what the word tragedy means or that is something only found in a Shakesphere play.

Did coinshare "ruin" the economy?
Lol... coins appear on floor for a coinshare drop. What coins are being taken out? 100 of millions in gp just appear out of nowhere for hilt drops. Nobody had to buy them. [/stupid posting by an idiot who thinks he knows everything] Yes, coinshare ruined the RS economy and devalued any buyable skill.

17th February 2009 - Wilderness and Real-World Trading Q&A
"Kiper1 - What else will be done to combat Real World Trading (such as using junk to transfer gold between accounts, or people using bounty hunter to transfer money)? A) I dont consider junk trading a problem. I am actually quite happy that it is making those junk items perceived as more valuable. It doesnt allow real-world trading, but does let people do the trades they want. I see it as a good thing! Bounty Hunter is going to be further tweaked." Disappointing and short sighted. Real world trading was always about imbalanced trading. Now, you can buy from any GP site a 3rd age item, spirit shield, or other frozen item at trade price. Junk up at 1mil+/hr easy, and get your gold. Sadly the solution is so simple, its ridiculous. Never release rare items again. Too bad they are blind to the fact that they have done just that with 3rd age and spirit shields.

Feb 9 2009: The Future of Runescape
He's only 21???? WTF?? What does he know? Did he even goto college? 31 I can see, 21 thats gotta be a typo. I don't get a good feeling about this at all.

Mass banning for penguins?
Go on Oprah or every News/Talk show in existence and say your innocent like Rod Blagojevich. Come on even Runescape Official Forum can kill threads like this... :roll: Is this what Tipit has become? A forum for cheaters to get together and feel sorry for each other when they finally get caught.

02-February-2009 Behind The Scenes - February
Pest control for Slayer and Summoning. Thank you, Jagex. This year is already looking alot better than last year. :)

Mass banning for penguins?
You can lie all day, but when you too stupid not to post a video of you abusing it on youtube, then all I got to say is "Don't let the door hit you in the [wagon] on the way out."
-
Combat Familiars.
Pathetic all the way from wolf to steel trashcan. Remove them and give me back my 126 since summoning is only good for teleport, skill bonues, item spawning, and extra inventory space.

Achieving level 99, naturally.
Not really sure what naturally is, but if you mean not focusing on doing the same skill from like level 70-80 something to 99 then attack, strength, defense, hitpoints, range and fishing. For example, I went from 97 to 99 fishing over the course 1.5 years while only doing the last 200k straight.

Dragon Dagger V.S. Dragon Claws
Neither. I prefer Protect Melee. It nullifies both and makes my opponents curse and flee. ;)

20-Jan-2009 Seers Achievement Diary
Well, I'll make use of excalibur alot more than that stupid falador shield. But, the rewards still don't fit the requirements by far... On a side note, the falador diary had to be the worst one by far, I mean 5% extra farming xp and a useless emote item. :thumbdown: At least they released the relleka diary at the same time. I use them boots everyday. :D

What are your thoughts on grand exchange merchanting?
I like the GE because I don't have to deal with the you pigs face to face anymore. I don't have to hear great things "wtf, no noob offers" & "lmao noob, its not worth that, scammer". Merchanting is just one kid ripping another kid off, plain and simple. (think of it as non-violent pking with a RTW twist thrown-in)

A Year of Summoning: A year in review.
Nothing but window dressing for the kiddies. Can't say I call out summon for more than a mining bonus or a quick teleport. Didn't really need a new skill to do that, just new items. (Ex. I'd have rather had a dragon pickaxe than a lava titan) Should have been a subsection of magic. Summoning points, timers, interface, action interupts, faulty AI, and not being able to walk to the GE with them make them all too annoying to bother with most times. Just another firemaking skill to level...

The Godsword is the Highest Level Player Made Item
This thread is too vague and confusing, would have been easier if you said that you wanted more desireable items to be generated solely from smithing, crafting, and fletching. Problem is that you always need an input to these skills to get an output. There was another game I played called Dofus where every armour or weapon had to be generated by players using so said production skills. However, in that game the stats of the produced item are dice rolled. Thus you might by a weapon that give +20 str and or pay more and get the same item at +21 str. For runescape application, one might make black dragon hide armour sets over and over and then on a rare occasion generation a "perfect" black dragon hide set. This perfect set may have additional bonus to the range attack of say +30, making it very valuable in runescape or perhaps to the extreme untradable.

Time is money - but is it in RuneScape?
I prefer to think of it as Money = Time. The difference being making money involves me wasting time doing things I'm not particularly found of. I don't like buying skills, but of course you can see from stats in my signature that I have done it.

Your least favourite update of 2008.
God there were so many bad ones and yet you make me pick one. :cry: SUMMONING. Hands down. Hell I quit for 3 months after the second coming of failure. I mean comon, a skill based around the randomness of drops, the cost of construction, and being trained like RC, all of the most annoying aspects of runescape. And thats just the concept on paper alone, just think of shoddy implementation. You move around a corner, click to do something, and then your interupted as your summon readjusts position because it got stuck behind something. It interupts YOU. Why is that? Why is it that we fought hard to get the stupid pets out of castle wars so we could click freely only to now have behemoth 5 option garbage covering the whole map as to be sure that you're spammed with "This isn't your summon" when you try to do something? Why can't I find my summon in a pile of summons at a bank and have to leave the bank to access it? Why does it affect combat level when you would be stupid to use a combat summon? Would you really give up all the extra food you could store in turtle or a yack for a steel trashcan? Why can't you direct them to fight on their own in a single combat zone? Why are they all defense and hitpoints and have damage dealing potentials less than F2P players? Its not like anybody attacks them except to annoy people. I could go on like this all day, but why bother, the peabrains of runescape were statisfied with it, and thus so is Jagex satisfied with it.

3rd age too rare for money?
3rd age is the gear of RWTer. Want it? Plop down real money at one of their RS gp sites and then go pickit up in BH.
-
Am I the only one who thinks AGS is not worth it??
Godswords are poop. Dragon Claws are poop. Its whip and shield or defender if your opponent can't hit. Its verac in PVP melee duels or some nasty def'ed monster. Been that way for years. Haven't had a successor to whip yet. Sara sword is close but being two handed blows. Yea, Vesta's longsword is the real deal, but Jagex had to find someway to gimp it into a useless artifact, and they sure do that within 1 hour of you using it to be exact.

16th December 2008 - Stealing Creation Reward Changes
The real question is when are the going to make stealing creation decent not the rewards? The game is flawed to the core and was bugged to... but at least they managed to get the clock going again. Rofl... Wanna pk there, just grab a dagger. Don't bother with food, pots or anything else because A) they save over your dagger, B) Armour is so pathetic you will die in like 10 seconds in a pile. Not really pking, just a 1 item fest. Wanna skill there, hug a tree, a pond, a rock, or a beehive. Just AFK it until some noob with only a dagger drops you. But after 20k points, who cares? The game doesn't, you get practically nothing for pts past 20k and you never get xp. Funny thing is they could have just given 2 times the xp on PVP worlds and this so called Minigame would be redundent, monochrome version of it.

Brief analysis of time/money expenditures on 99's
So how much gp did you lose making this post? Or going to sleep tonight? Fun over efficiency, its a game, remember?
