The problem: Too many PVP worlds and you people have too high expectations with your rosey colored glasses. I knew when they brought back PVP the b&^%ing would come back (BTW, its stupid to say brought back since BH, fight pits, and castle wars were there all along.) And yep here it is like good old times again. DDS overpowered, can't get easy kills, cabbage loot, teletubbies, noob-1-itemers, pjing... on and on... Good old world 18 edge and MB was exactly like it is now on world 23 at edge, around GE, and so on.

Best month on paper in a long long time. Can't wait to be disappointed! :P

Smithing. There has been more than enough hand outs with coinshare and RWTing that there are quite a few people who have more gp than they can ever use. So throwing it away for fast xp is nothing to them.

I CAN'T GET EASY KILLS!!! CHANGE THE GAME!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

How come that a guy with 85 slayer and level 10 magic(dont ask, was his goal) got absolutely raped by bloodvelds and infernal mages despite wearing near max magic defence? Magic level does matter. It doesn't matter and no amount of defense could make that fly. I get raped on occasion too and I have 99 magic and defense. One can't seem to buy enough magic defense in this game, because it is heavily weighted towards magic accuracy. You must not use magic much. I've pvped enough with magic that after 15 casts or so I can guess fairly accurately what your magic level is. Magic has an ENORMOUS effect on your magic defense. You seriously need to pvp more. I mean seriously, if you've ever used mage on a pure, you would know that magic raises magic defense. A pure wearing black chaps, ghostly top, and a glory with 99 magic is several times harder to hit than some random guy with 70 magic and defense wearing the same gear, even though his defense level is a full 69 levels higher. The gear you described is tragic. Missing would be bad luck on the mages part. I'm talking me wearing full arma and DFS, versus ahrims and DFS and getting hitting half the time. I'm talking people in arma using magic and stopping me with an arma top, DFS, and dharok legs. Magic is most certainly the most accurate combat skill. Why don't you think they never bothered upping the max magic hits after they pumped range and melee up for so long? Don't need to. You hit way more often even if they wear the best stuff.

He may have had a previous career of digging around in the wilderness before he took up residence at the barrows. I think all this stuff about him being hundreds of years old or undead seems far fetched.

To torment those who think they are better than everybody else.

That tip at the bottom is about as wrong as wrong can be. Magic level doesn't effect your magic defense at all. Its magic defense assigned to the armour + your defense level that effect the dice throws. This notion has been brought up a long time ago along with agility helps range defense. In both cases, when they had customer support, people were able to post replies from Jagex on here stating those notions to be dead wrong.

I always pray with pro melee the default unless I'm tempted otherwise. When my 99 prayer runs out then I just unequip my armour and die because its not worth fighting if its just a lucky hit contest. Its all about trading blows and using your character to your fullest. Its also fun to humilate those without a prayer or defense. However don't worry, I doubt I will ever be a regular at the new dreg/PVP worlds, so don't cry about my style, since you'll never cross my path unless you goto world 24 CW.

Its a shame that the post on RSOF was locked, oh well guess I'll just have to blow off some steam here where the Jagex appologists post all day. Dear Jagex, Do you realize who you selected to take suggestions from to improve your game? You are asking people who: #1 )Are entertained by anything (even a dot moving accross the screen). (200Mil XP club) #2 )Don't have any opinions or thoughts based on other games or life for that matter since they live on runescape (All 99ers club) #3 )Who like to organize into gangs to kill people, cheat, manipluate, and steal stuff (clan leaders) Isn't this like asking a RWTer how to stop RWTing? If it is, your doing a great job just like good old George Bush. (P.S. George, tell me how that bailout is working and for which country is it again?)

They have reinvented many older skills already, think about it. Woodcutting: That jungle cutting minigame, you chop things & random events occur, you fix a fence with sticks you cut, you're rewarded with access to highly rewarding trees or currency to buy some simple things. Mage: Mage training arena, various different games that require a little thought, bunch of different rewards that can be valuable. Firemaking: Beacon Lighting, Run from beacon to beacon lighting them in remote and exciting locations. Decent xp and you can use cheap logs. Mining: Star falling minigame, run around trying to be the first to find a fallen star and then mine it with many other players for some cash and decent xp. Runecrafting: The RC guild gives some xp, lots of ess, plus the tabs are a new way to get to the altars. Smithing: Group smithing at the Blast Furnance I can probably go on if I think about it, but yea they all flopped because most players want simple one click, afkable, big reward, junk.

Dragon Spear from Fire Giants under the Waterfall. I think I sold it for 300k or something, that was back in '05.

Actually ahh no... Its not likely to crash, its likely to boom and cost heaps.. thats the point of hoarding.. or else I would wait till the "crash" and then buy cheap sharks... Are you American? :/ LOL... Thats what is going to happen. All you clowns are going to hoard the stuff from now till the update and try to sell it all at the same time. And all I will be seeing on the forums is "OMG I can't sell anything WTF! Jagex you lied and changed the limits! :cry: " Last month was a good time to buy, right now is a good time to sell thanks to you hoarding fools. ;)

Well, your right on in that the game is imbalanced towards monster hunting. The solutions are so simple its just plain negligence on Jagex's part that they don't implement them. Just increase drop rates to like 1 in 10 and get rid of the dam lootshare! Its time that Jagex start making this game for everybody again and not the few. The few being the group monster huggers, the ethugs, and the non-players (aka merchants).

Let me just summarize what the BTS could have just said in one line. "WELCOME BACK E-THUGS!" :thumbdown:

I don't really belong to any of these groups. I don't really set out to make money, I just gradually accumulate it and then eventually do something with it. I was an old school DIYer until GE. If I wanted a whip, I got 85 slayer and got one. If I wanted magic logs, then I got the wc level to do that. Your definition of DIY is just plain wrong. I never did it with the purpose of generating money from skills. I did it myself so I didn't have to deal with gp and merchants and all that garbage that was pre-GE. I just relied on my skills and it was fun. Now I just goto the GE with stuff, turn it into cash and then back into something else all in one stop. I don't feel the burden of trading. However, price inflation cause by coinshare and GE pirating continually undermine alot of my efforts in the game. I think that game has been severaly imbalanced by monster hunting with coinshare after hyper-inflation of those items with the initial hoarding up by runescape's non-players (aka merchants). I had quit on one occasion this year because of this frustration. The dropping of godwar items has been promising, and I hope that all will fall below 10mil so that skilling once again has some value other than pretty capes. I am disappointed once again that these new shields are being given out again with Jagex pre-infalted price tags which are being hoarded up even higher. I wish they would return to the days of having quests produce items like dragon longswords and scimitars.

I never use them. If I wanted to pray, I would use the best prayers. I don't see the point in pray in training unless your near an altar (i.e. the new quest's dungeon) or doing some horrific task like metal dragons. If you do it all the time, then all your doing is wasting prayer pots for a few extra damage points. Waste of gp to be honest, and getting gp takes time, so you wouldn't really save any time.

Actually, it died when they nerfed Pest Control. I have found memories of going from 98 to 99 prayer at pest control. Using bones with the altar is god awful. I did that from like 70 something to 98. Ectofuctus seems not to bad now, especially if its faster and more automated. Now they just need a way to pipe slime up to the altar....

Voted what are those because this is all sounding greek and I don't see any of those buttons down on the screen with chat, clan, report abuse, etc..

Considering the quests themselves are in development for months, chances are the basic storylines have been fleshed out for quite a while before that with what Jagex wants to do. Since they're always working on several quests at once (hence why we can get 2-3 quests in a month), it's not really that hard to believe that a sequel and a quest linked to that sequel could come out in the same month. For Jagex to do sequels this quick is news to me. Maybe I haven't been paying attention much, but I don't think I've seen this happen before. At least not with 4 related quests. 2008 is nearly over, and they haven't released their big update they mentioned in the RWT thing yet, and so far this is the closest-looking thing to that. Although, that's beginning to sound alot more like their massive quest which I doubt, for some reason, will come out this year. So I'm guessing this must just be preperation, since I don't believe Jagex to do sequels so closely together without a reason. Wasnt the epic update at the begining of 2008 summoning? No it was cabbage, everybody alched their pouches and Jagex was forced to rework the whole thing in 2 months. Of course batch 2 was just shallow window dressing, but hey the kids seem to like it.... :wall: To be honest, this is update I've been waiting for since I saw that wallpaper like one year ago. If its a jolly old free-for-all with hordes of undead and rewards like Dragon Plate then it will be "THE BEST UPDATE OF 2008" in my eyes. Of course, my expectations are too high seeing how summoning and that graphics update are... :roll:

At least in a fast clicking game you have a chance of being better than the other player regardless of stats. In multi, it suddenly becomes all about your stats. Thus higher level players abuse their power to crash other, lower leveled players, and in LS worlds bigger teams crash smaller teams. Far more frustrating IMO. A. Why even have stats or play this game if all you believe in is a simple game of you who got a better internet connection and faster reflexes? To be honest your just whining else if you really thought that you'd play FPS or something fast paced and not this game where you "TRAIN SKILLS ALL DAY FOR SOME REWARD" B. Don't go to Lootshare worlds. I hate lootshare and would get rid of it all together myself.

How is it a problem if its in multi? There is nothing more frustrating than fighting over spawns in single where its nothing but a fast internet clicking game.

2. Upgrade old ones. Start with the flop, summoning. Take combat out of it and focus more on skilling. (or actually make things that fight and die instead of being mobile statues) Some other things could be. Make smithing more than token in "dropscape", such as customizable armour etc. Give new and useful to grow in farming. Give agility some rewards, since its only reward is the best skill cape. Herblore, how about super ranging and magic potions. And so on... no more window dressing skills like summoning please.

Yeah, I would use that or a dds if you want to stab something. Spears are slower and there is no way the zamorakian spear is the same as a whip/ss its more dlong speed like the other spears. Thats why ss is the premier weapon at waterfiends.
