What I don't really get is your respons to some of the reactions here. Your state of mind obviously is "macroers exist, deal with it", but most players, actually most people, seriously detest cheating. I bet you do aswell, but runescape isn't really close to home for you. Let's say your dream job was out there (either something in IT or goatmilking, judging by your sig ;) ) , you go there for an interview and see your 1 of 10 possible people for the job. When your interview ends the next applicant walks in, drops $10,000 on the table and gets the job instantly. All your efford is lost, just because somebody can drop $10,000 on the table. Most people react from that feeling, so are more emotionial in their reasoning.
I can understand, to an extent, the anger that people feel against cheaters, but I dislike the bloodthirstily overzealous attitude many normal players seem to have about cheating. I see tons of people complaining about macroers, and calling them "greedy" and "lazy", but all I see from their arguments is: "I want macroers to go away so prices on all my stuff can go up and I can get rich selling them without doing anything." I consider that completely hypocritical.
However, coming from a cheating background, I realize that cheating is wrong, but I don't detest them to the extent that the people here do. I still have friends in the cheating community who I talk to regularly. Just because they're doing something that I know is wrong, that doesn't automatically make them greedy, lazy human garbage.
As for your last point, if that happened, I'd accept it as the other applicant being better prepared than me. I can never end cheating, just like I can never end worldwide crime, but I can accept that it does happen, however unfairly.
So yes, you're right. My view on cheating itself is primarily: "Cheating is wrong. Live with it."
It doesnÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt make them automatically greedy, lazy human garbage because you know them personally ;) Most people around here feel pretty strongly about Runescape (I used to be one of them), so if they see someone cheating the game their first response is anger. I actually still think that response is legitimate. Just because autoing keeps the prices down doesn't mean we should condone it. When I was still playing I would have happily paid 1k per coal or flax or gathered it myself if it would have meant there would be no more autoers in the game.
As for the bolded part of your answer... I don't believe you. If that really was your dreamjob, the someone else getting it should be earning it, not just "having come better prepared". If you can really shrug off losing your dream job to a guy that "cheats" to get it, you and I might aswell be different species because I simply cannot understand that.

No offence, but that's actually a horrible idea. I doubt more than 50% of members even HAS a creditcard, let alone f2p. Jagex isn't adding alternative payment methods just because they can, they do it to get the money from people that don't have a creditcard.
@scorpiona; You make a valid point, but only because of the age of the runescape market. If Runescape were to reset tomorrow or Runescape 3 was started the game could work itself out completely clean of autoers, i.e. it wouldn't NEED autoers to sustain the market. Sadly that's only theoretical, because if Jagex found a cure to kill off all autoers instantly, the current market would indeed crash.

Wow brain nice goals, especially farming :o Who was that guy again that pushed you towards farming a bit? ;)
Good luck with your goals, I'll be watching this blog for sure :)
-
Nice goals here and we share a love for slayer and clues
If you need anyone to BA with, add me (pinguin333) level 5 in all skills :) -
Yeah, you are riight of course, I cant count :oops:I *think* each strawberry heal 5, which means a basket heal 30 hp.I thought there are 5 items per basket? If you use those strawberries for summer pies, they heal, restore energy and up your agility level a bit for a while :)
I had 30 in my mind for a basket of strawberries too, so that either means they heal 6 or we both have a bad memory :D

yes 20 rooms is the limit for your entire house. You'll have to plan your house before you start building it or you will run into the limit pretty quick. I do have a dungeon within the 20 rooms limit.

If you didn't find it on tip.it, you didn't try very hard:
http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=treasure_trails.htm#t
Tip.it has the best treasure trail page out of all runescape fan sites, they haven't missed a single clue and their coordinates tool is accurate to within 1 square (unlike some other site which I wont mention here).

Melee is pretty much the only combat skill to use in the higher levels. Playing BA as a 1 def pure would be a bad idea though, as you'll be attacked by a lot of monsters and if you die you and your team have to try the round again.

heads/hands
3 Big sharks i cannot use
God I hate your luck, I'm trying to get one for my house now, 5.6k sharks and nothing -.-
-
Worlds 6, 9, 12 and 18 are pretty crowded. You'll have to select the people you play with though, people with 22 hp can die during wave 1 :lol:
-
The skill I hate with a passion is mining, don't think I've gotten any significant amount of xp in that for well over a year. Any other skill I like getting xp in (points to skill total ;) ) My number 1 skill is slayer, it's good training, good fun killing different monsters each time and good money too.

375 points is about 1 time wave 1-10 in a role, so the torso is about 4 queen runs or about 4 hours.
-
You might want to be a little more specific on timezones and which days of the week you want this team to come together.
If you're on European/Uk time add me, I'm 117 combat with fighter torso and currently looking to get penance gloves and some higher BA levels.
-
really? never saw 1 lol
Me neither :?
-
World 12 and 18 are pretty busy BA world. A little hard to get in, but I found an execellent 4 man team looking for a fifth in minutes on world 18.
150 more healers points and that torso is mine :)
-
Maybe use the herring on an ent? :o

117, the Netherlands

I beleive you (no reason to lie), but your information is flawed
Flawed is a bit harsh I think, but you're right that I can't ever prove that I got my fletching cape untrimmed and that it was trimmed at the moment I got 99 cooking. That's why I said you'd have to take my word for it.
-
ah, but if you got your first cape when you had 2 or more 99 skills, ten it would be trimmed anyway
I got both 99 cooking and attack after the release of skill capes, I can't really prove that however. You'll have to take my word for it, your first 99 cape WILL get trimmed when you get your second 99.
-
fishing sharks (guess what I'm doing right now ;) )
-
however that doesn't prove anything, you just have two trimmed capes.
Yes that proves everything, the mod said that the first 99 cape you get would never get trimmed, but since all my capes are trimmed he was wrong.
Check my stats, I have 3 level 99s. In my last post I showed trimmed cooking and fletching cape, here is the trimmed attack cape:
So, 3 level 99s, 3 trimmed capes, the mod was wrong.
-
Here are pictures to prove it:
-
When you get your cape, it is untrimmed, your second one will make both of them trimmed. Quest Cape can not be trimmed nor count towards a second cape.
WRONG!
Dear Sworddude198,Thank you for your question regarding the trimmed capes of achievement.
Unfortunately you can only get a trimmed skill cape when you get a second skill maxed out. This is a reward for getting multiple skills to 99. The reason that you can't trim your original cape is because this cape is a reward for getting your first skill all the way to the top. The trimmed capes are extra rewards for getting even more fantastic results from your skills!
Hope this answers your query and good luck in getting those maxed skills!
Don't forget to use the RuneScape Knowledge Base to find the answer to your queries quicker.
You can also find help on all free player and all new member quests through the QuestHelp system.
Sorry to disappoint you, but that mod is wrong. My first 99 was fletching and I got that cape untrimmed. When I got my second 99, both my capes got trimmed.

The stats have been in the kb like this for over a month. I posted their stats on another forum on december 18th and those are the exact same as what is in the kb now.
Macroers, blah blah blah

That 500 billion must be a typo, because even if there were that many RS accounts every citizen from China would have to keep 500 accounts running daily and that's simply impossible. But even if it were 500 million it seems too much to me.
I think I see your point, you draw a very clear line between people that macro for real world cash and people that write their own scripts to do some of the more tedious jobs in the game. To me both these kinds of cheating are wrong, but I'll grant you that the cash macroers are worse kinds of people.
The people that make scripts to do stuff on their main account are just lazy. Part of the fun in RuneScape to me was the sense of earning stuff and/or the ability to do something new. Sure some of the things are tedious to do, but there's allways the gp or xp to show for it and give you a sense of accomplishment.
I realize different people play the game for different reasons, but to me even people that use auto alchers/teleporters are cheating and deserve to be banned. You say there is no reason to hate all autoers/scripters, well I don't necessarily hate you, but I do think you are doing something wrong. Upon creation of an account you agree to play by the rules made by Jagex, so when you break them, you can't complain about the punishment.
