With regards to dropping made above, I know a lot of players use Mouse Keys to drop things to make it happen quicker, so in those cases then yes they'd drop the exact same way each time and it's within the rules to do so too. Jagex will never be able to completely get rid of bots, that's simply impossible. While they could greatly reduce the number in the game and I imagine that that's what they're trying to do all the time there'll still be some left in there. General updates that "break" bots are most likely not intended and just a benefit of the update. While Jagex do specifically change things to stop bots, not everything is designed for that so in this case I think it's just a case of getting "lucky" in that regard.

A lot of icon glitches, lots of them appear to be broken.

Upon entering a dungeon, your bound items and ring of kinship will now be automatically equipped, which should save you a bit of time at the start of each dungeon. A small but well needed change.

There's 3 weeks left this month and only 2 updates, so one of them has to be a "no update week" which I imagine will be this one. We've had constant updates for a while now so I don't mind.

This isn't possible, we can only switch it off per usergroup, not specifically set it lower for certain usergroups.

Jagex stated that the higher the monster the higher the drop rate.

try to shear a sheep that is closer to the center/west part of the area. and don't enchant it on the 2nd floor (at least that's what I did the 1st time) It's only the sheep shearing part that's broken. You can not do the last part of that task until you've done all the steps before. So enchanting works fine, just need to have the other steps completed first. This happened to me, I went back and sheared another one.

Pending updates at BlizzCon the midnight release date for Cataclysm will be November 2. Pre-ordering the collector's edition means you get to know:P No release date has been announced, this includes with the collector's edition. That's just when the website/store you ordered from thinks it's coming out, based on nothing.

There's not one. Probably November/December.

Hey, As part of being a Platinum fansite (well gold at the time) one of the admins got invited to goto Runefest as a VIP. I was the lucky one that was chosen (Thank you coin flip!). So heres a write-up on what I got to do. It started on Thursday 26th, at 14:30 UK time I headed to the station to get the train up to London. Had packed the night before to make sure I was prepared, didnt want to leave anything behind. A two hour train ride later I arrived in London, had to change to another station then I had finally arrived at London Bridge station, just minutes from my Hotel. Of course, this being London the second I get off the train it starts raining. After getting lost on my way, about 30 minutes later I finally arrive at the hotel. I check in and get told by reception that the leader of the group is over in the bar. So I drop my things off in my room then head down into the bar where I see a huge group of people sitting. There Im greeted by Mod Hohbein and Mod Paul M who introduce me to all the other VIPs. About 25 of us in total, including the three golden ticket winners, admins from a few other fansites, Excl, some popular members of the Runescape community and various high level players including Telmomarques. As all of the others had flown in, most of them had been there for a while already, there were a few that arrived after me but I was one of the last. I was given a bit more information on what was happening over the next few days and an updated itinerary and we just had a couple of drinks while talking amongst ourselves. For dinner that night we were to go to a bar at the Globe Theatre, not a huge selection of food available to us but a burger appeared to be the most popular choice (probably 20 out of the 25 of us had a burger) although I went for the gammon steak to be different. After everyone had eaten, most people decided to head back to the hotel for the evening due to jet lag. This left about 5 of us there, me, Mod Paul M, Gertjaars and a couple of his friends. A *few* drinks later and we all decide to head back to the hotel for the night too as we had a fairly long day on Friday. Although based on the fact that Gertjaars now knows me as Drunk guy probably means I should have left a few drinks earlier... Woke up early on Friday morning and headed down to have breakfast. Basically had a full English breakfast from the buffet, om nom nom. At 8:30am everyone met in the lobby before waiting for the coach that would take us to Jagex HQ in Cambridge. An hour and a half later we arrived at the Player Support building of Jagex (yes, it exists; either that or they rented a building out, a bunch of computers and hired some actors in for the day). We were put into a meeting room, with a table with various pastries and cakes on it for us to eat while we waited for Andrew and MMG for a Q&A session. A few mods from Player support came down during this time to talk to us and answer some questions while we waited and eventually they turned up. MMG had a few things to say to us before it opening up to questions. Of course, I was the only one prepared with a huge list of questions to ask and that didnt even include the bunch I had myself. Ill post the answers to the questions (that I can do, due to having to sign a NDA) in the next post. Not a lot of interesting information was revealed in terms of future updates and those that were I cannot discuss. It was just really nice to get to ask questions to these two, both of whom seem like really good guys. Both of them genuinely seemed very interested in the game and passionate about it. They just seemed like normal people, and for that matter so did everyone that worked for Jagex. After the Q&A we were given a tour of the player support building, it was fairly empty on the Friday as a lot of the team were in London preparing for Runefest and the fact that it was a Bank holiday weekend some people had also taken the Friday off work for a four day weekend. We got shown around each section of player support, being told what each part does and various details and numbers of what they have to deal with. Afterwards we were taken back down to the meeting room where two guys from their RWT/Macroing etc. Section came down to speak to us as we were not allowed to go into their section of the office. They told us some very interesting things, as did all of the sections actually and while I cannot go into any detail all I can say is that what we were told is VERY promising in regards to what theyre doing to combat this. Jagex even have an in-house lawyer to help them with action against the various people that run the sites etc. After that talk we were treated to a huge selection of sandwiches and had about 30 minutes to kill before heading over to the main office. Outside is MMGs tank which Im sure some of you have already heard about, its awesome. Inside we got split up into two groups to take it in turns of getting shown around the offices. I cannot talk about anything which I saw upstairs, but again like everything else Id seen so far that day I was very impressed. I saw bits of Stellar Dawn and can confirm that it does exist and is being developed in a different section to what Runescape is being developed in and Id say had about 65% of the amount of people working on Runescape. After the other group had been shown around we had a short Q&A with about 6 members of the development team from various section, two from content, one from audio and two from graphics. Again, nothing was revealed here and me with my list got to ask most of the questions once more (and this time got to ask some of my own!). Once that was done we still had a few hours to kill before dinner in Cambridge, so half of us headed into Cambridge early to have a look around there while the others stayed at the offices and arrived later. Cambridge looks like a fairly awesome city, we didnt have too long to look around but the parts we saw looked nice before heading to a pub near to the place we were to eat and we had a drink there before meeting up with the others at the bar for the meal that evening. An uneventful meal later we got on the coach back to the Hotel where nearly everyone just headed straight to bed in preparation for Runefest on the Saturday. I woke up fairly late on the Saturday compared to the last two days, meeting in the lobby at 9:30 where Mod Hohbein, Mod Poppy and Mod (insert name here) were there. We headed over to where Runefest was to have breakfast with Paul, Andrew, Ian and MMG. Andrew sat next to me with MMG next to him and just discussed various things with them. MMG then spoke to the whole group before we had a Q&A with the three Gower brothers. Again, I was pretty much the only one asking questions and I focused mainly on the evolution of the game. Its nice getting to ask them questions such as when they realised that the game was actually working in terms of being a game people wanted to play, something which Id likely never get a chance to do again. While probably not interesting to a few people there was interesting to me for various reasons and was really nice to be given the chance. Once that was done we got a quick tour of Runefest, where I was the first to write on Varrock Wall (And of course I wrote a HYT ;)), we collected our goody bags (same as everyone else got, which Im sure youve seen other people post about) and on top of that we all got a special VIP gift. (Excuse my terrible photo taking skills) Im not going to talk much about Runefest itself, as really not *too* much to talk about. I saw a few of the insider sessions, spent a few hours talking to various Jagex mods and met up with various people. Was really awesome and would have been well worth going to, had a lot of fun and was very strange to just meet other people who also love the game and getting to meet the people behind it was awesome too. Thats it for my experience really, Saturday night was meant to do a few things but plans fell through so just had an early night and Sunday morning was just having breakfast before heading off to get the train back home. I will post the answer to the Q&A after Ive passed it through Jagex to make sure Im not saying anything I shouldnt be, until then I hope this write-up is enough. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask :).

The "debuff" isn't a visible one though, which is frustrating.

So why are you annoyed at them due to your own mistakes? Please explain that as I'm really confused. It makes no sense that some barrows gloves protect over battle robe bottoms, which i weren't aware of in the rush. And magic prayer should protect you from dragonfire and the bonus exp weekend most likely made me forget the ectophial ... Magic protect prayer only works again "normal" dragon breath, not from metal dragons to stop people being able to kill them with things such as veracs. It's been like this for many years now. Battle robe bottoms were worthless for the longest amount of time and on top of that Jagex have always used alch values over GE/street values. Again, it's your own vault for not checking how much barrows gloves were worth (which should be fairly obvious, seeing as you have to buy them from a shop). Barrows gloves have a high value and not much (normal) things protect over them, it's something everyone should know.

So you're annoyed at Jagex due to your mistakes? I don't understand that.

Avenging Wrath DOESN'T cause forbearance, it doesn't actually give you any visible debuff which can be frustrating and it's always a risk using it while tanking... well used to be before ICC became doable with your eyes closed.

Bubblehearth is the best thing ever, saved me quite a lot of gold during ICC when we were going to wipe. Just a short fly back from Dalaran too :P. Sucks that they're removing it in Cata :( If I was any other tank other than a paladin here this kill would never have happened. Look at all my CDs, had just used Lay on hands on the other tank, if either of us had died he'd have healed back up and not died. Old picture and I've posted it here before but it does show the utility that Paladin tanks especially have with so many cool downs, some of which can be used to greatly benefit the raid. Never ever going to get a kill that's closer than that was our first kill of Putricide which makes it even more special :3

As stated in the first post of this topic: So yes, please put images that you're quoting in hide tags if you can. Doing it occasionally won't hurt but when you're quoting someone who quoted an image especially it's not needed.

The whole notification system itself is a mess and does not work "correctly". You'd think viewing a PM should clear it from notifications, or viewing a post of yours that was quoted but nope. I hope it's a bug and not intended to work like this as if that's the case then whoever designed it didn't seem to realise how to make a usable system. I have no idea myself about that though.

Gone from 78->85 herblore just on herbs I had banked way before this weekend which is awesome, means metal dragon tasks should finally go a lot quicker. Also got a farming, crafting and firemaking levels. Just below 2x multiplier now but still good. Thank god for the XP reset which is what allowed me to get 85 herblore, and halfway to 86 too :D Not sure what to do for the rest of the weekend to be honest, any suggestions (look at signature for skills :P)

My counter just reset to 2.7x. I was over an hour into it too O_O

Was 78 when I started, 82 now and have enough for 83 but don't think quite 84.

This has gone too far now, should probably have been locked a while ago. Really no useful discussion could have come out of this thread, and while there was a tiny bit of that the rest of the topic is still spam.
