Just watched the bucket list, cringeworthy I thought. It just seemed really scripted the whoek way through.. and Morgan Freeman is always the same character!! I hates it!!

I did a maths a level and i got 2. :'(

try reading my original post again, in fact the very first sentance. i mean paragraaph

yeah its pretty bad, havnt logged into rs tho, jus checking this topic and off topic.. i wont play rs again man, can honestly say that. but right now i got personal reasons for wanting to internet browse and chat for an hour or so a day. wanna join another forum but i dunno what yet?? and yeah fairplay ring if your arguing against that, that's not the point of the thread i didnt really think that through, i edited it out cos i dont wanna get into a discussion about it. i know they probably never will include a counter and i dont care either. and if i think about ti 20h is pretty dam short, thats like 1-2hours weekdays and 3-4 weekends. i dont really agree with forcing people to play either.

see straight up, what the [bleep] r u on about? when did i say runescape should be removed?? could u still not read what i typed? rofl, proper use? mate im sorry, the only things you could be arguing against that ive said is that people who regularly clock 6 hours a day should maybe take a look at the ammount of time they spend online. also that 18-20hours is clearly terrible. do you disagree with either of them? neither of them make me suggest runescape is like crack. but if you think that 6 hours is perfectly normal then fairplay, do u tell your real life friends you play for 6 hours? no because that's clearly not socially acceptable. maybe in certain situations but for the most part. if you wanna argue against that then do, but don't rip the piss and put words into my mouth?

im not saying runescapes not ok :ohnoes: yeah man ive seen u use that general discussion not general agreein thing before. this is menna be a discussion about people who can't manage their time and have a problem with runescape. if you dont think its ever problem for anyone ever then yeah disagree, cos otherwise your just picking apart posts and posting generally annoying and imo stupid as [bleep] comments. your not big mate. Bladewing - read my original post eh?? read the bit thats underlined, or how about reading the post a few posts up?? stop posting annoying messages where your disagreeing with something im not saying eh?? and ring world, it is seriously addicting for some people, is it not obvious? I KNOW NOT EVERYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT, I SAID THAT IN MY ORIGINAL POST, ARE YOU READING WHAT IM TYPING NOW? CAN YOU STOP TYPING THE SAME POSTS OVER AND OVER NOW?

I was going to write a long reply pointing out how wrong you are, but I don't feel it's a good use of my time. please do cos right now i think it's right and i'm pissed off :thumbdown:

it probably can, im not learning english tho, i am english. dude wtf is your problem seriously? if you dont have a problem with how much you play then gtfo and stop making annoying posts please? if you have anythnig useful to say apart from fishing for a reaction then say it. or are you arguing so much because you have a problem with how much you play. :thumbup:

cos im ina foreign country and i need english, dont no wat else to go on, already on facebook skype and news. troll.

someone said disagreeing isn't flaming, bull man you guys flame hard for no reason. people have posted here saying they agree that for them they find it hard not to play to much, if it doesn't affect you then why the [bleep] are you on the topic? to make stupid ass comments? and to the people that say its dumb to pput a number on sleeping and work. most people sleep 8 hours and most people work 8 hours, that's why it keeps coming up. so stop being annoying and just don't post eh? :thumbup: (there are exceptions to every rule, it goes without saying, so don't say it.) don't even get why some people seem to have taken such offense to this, i even made it bold, underlined and italicized(?) it in the original post. I know plenty of people can mange the time, I know plenty of people use it as a bit of chill out time, I know many people don't feel they have a problem. So why not stop posting the same thing about tiny details in my original post? im not suggesting im better than people, im not suggesting everyone who plays runescape is damaging their life. but yeah some people do, if your trying to argue with that then fairplay. if your trying to argue with average work time or sleep time then.. what?? i dont care. i do care about people spending too much time on runescape and clearly some people do.. its only been in the last 2 years that i stopped playing much runescape, and i found for me it was a mistake spending that much time on rs, that's all im saying. im not saying i know how life should be, i do stills tick by that it's not 18/20hours in fron of an rs screen, can't see how people can defend that, but whatever..

Nice to know a lot of peeps have the dream thing!

Gives me staage fight when your in front of 100 peeps and u [bleep] up hard.

Dunno if I should start a new topic about this becaue it's a pretty big issue, but it's basically about Libya.. Crimes against humanity?? What about Gaza?? I think just as many, if not more, crimes against humanity have occured there. This is seriously screwed up double standards, Khadafi is 100% when he says this is modern day crusades. Btw you should sign this petition, it's written by my mate, I'm pretty much just respewing it.. http://www.petitiononline.co.uk/petitio ... -gaza/2593 But it's completely accurate.. This is making me incredibly pissed off, the West thinks it can pick and choose who runs countries when it wants. As soon as their is a slightly valid reason we go in and kill a load of people with our technology. When Iran originally had a dictatorship we encouraged the Shah to fire on innocent, peaceful and unarmed protesters. If that were to happen in Iran now then we'd go in all guns blazing if we didn't think they might have nukes. Everyone thinks that that Ahmadinejad and Khadafi are completely mental (granted they seem pretty gone) but a lot of what they say about the West is true. If there's a reason why the middle east hates us and terrorists exist, we're seeing it in motion. How can we allow Israel to get away with such crimes, the rebels are in almost excactly the same shoes as the Palestinians. Palestinian's slowly lost land and rights, have no way of gaining it back or even (it seems) a way to change their country. Seriously Israel bombed a cement factory?? They've used phosphorous as well.. Oh and not recognised a legitimately voted Government. Pah. Admittedly it is different because there have been plenty of Palestinian attacks on Israel and it is also (kind of) a country on country issue, but still.

[bleep]. cba with this forum anymore, well i quit rs so yeah.. u dunt hav to flame everything all the time yeah :thumbsup:

The guy who said he played guitar and learned French also said that "he does these for fun, regardless of whether or not they'll provide a purpose in life". He wasn't be condescending at all, it was just a general statement, he didn't say it was good or bad or even mention anything of that nature. Actually, he was saying you shouldn't judge people on their hobbies just because they don't necessarily provide a purpose in life. Just like how you're judging him for playing piano and learning French. Perhaps you are misunderstanding what the word condescending means. –adjective showing or implying a usually patronizing descent from dignity or superiority. Maybe you only read the OP's first post, but you should actually read through the thread a bit to understand where I'm coming from. His responses imply that his life is so much better than everyone else who is "addicted" to runescape, as if he knows these people in real life. Also contrary to what you said I'm not judging him at all, in fact I couldn't give a rat's [cabbage] what his hobbies are, just as the OP should not give a cabbage about what other people do in their spare time especially if he doesn't know them in person. Yeah but I'm saying it's not always spare time and even if it is it can be damaging for them without people always realising. I'm not trying to be condescending, I do think playing for 20hours a day is incredibly bad bad who the hell doesn't? I also did know a lot of people ingame who were addicted to RuneScape and I would've thought a lot of other people do, fairplay if they don't.. But yeah my life is better than my previous life, I said numberous times that that's obviously not the case for everyone. But it also obviously is for some people. And it's true I swear fansites normalise this behaviour alot.. And yeah that real pissed me off how many people say I'm trying to be condescending, I think it's pretty condescending to constantly write /thread or wanna medal or some standard repeated crap. I had a really bad RuneScape habbit, most people don't. Some people do, if you don't realise this I'm pretty shocked.. also i removed the bit about french and guitar cos it doesnt have anything to do with anything and far too many people were getting pissed off by it. I feel my time is much better spent doing those things, that was just a personal note i added.

what if an orthodontist works 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, and makes $100K a year? he's not doing enough? for him to play 6 hours of runescape a day would certainly not interfere with his job, and would still leave plenty of time to be social. you are trying to put universal restrictions on parts of people's lives that are highly dependent on the context. dude im gunn lay it how i meant it.. also please tell me what tldr is. I've been wanting to post something like this for a while because I think there are a lot of people who have this problem/don't realise it. I don't wanna get into a stupid flame about work and stuff, at the end of the day your incredibly lucky if you can not work at all and are living by yourself. WHATEVER. This is a problem that alot of players have that is hardly ever discussed, I would like it if just one person saw this and thought 'yeah maybe I am playing too much'. I'm pretty bad at vocalising my thoughts so if you want to you can easilly rip me apart in quote chains. If you think this topic doesn't impact you then don't post. It is undeniable that there are players where playing too much RS is affecting them badly. I want to point that out and hope someone thinks a bit about how much time they're putting into this game and possibly change their habbits if its not working out well. I've had friends on RS who have done 2 days in a row, skipped school or something similar because of an RS problem, and from what I can tell it's fairly common place. Damn I really am bad at saying what I want to say.. maybe I should edit my original post. But basically this isn't about putting a limit on it, it's about the general issue of spending too much time on a game and detrimentally affecting your life. Slypheed: I said it was extreme. People who need help can;t see it sometimes. If you really believe absolutely noone whos playing RuneScape is messing up their real life then fairplay. I cant be assed to have a flame quote war I genuinely wanna make some people aware of this.. oh and i just search tldr, so u didnt even read my original post but you felt you could make loads of comments taking the piss out of me? thanks mate :thumbdown:

i think that's a great answer. however it seems to conflict with statements like you are saying "use your common sense" to determine how much is an adequate amount of contribution to society, but say "common sense is not enough" to determine how much is an adequate amount of runescape? what? common sense as in its agiven that most people have to work 8 hour days and if you don't know that i can't comprehend what life your living. i stick by it, maybe 25 i dunno. whatever that was just a vague idea. also it's hard to determine some stuff by common sense if your judegment gets clouded.

No but it'd be better, at least they contribute something. what's the magic number, then? dude use your common sense.. look around at other people and see mate. its pretty standard that you work 8 hours a day. if youve got kids then hopefully you don't have to but ive worked with peeps who stilll do 8/10hour days. if jobs hard to come by then you should be looking. but seriously mate those no magic number, is it not obvious that everyone should be aiming for 8 hours work a day? im on a farm at the moment, most things are self sufficient and we work 6-7hours a day every day except sunday. thats really life imo, thats paying bills and eating enough. people who don't work either scrounge of parents or the government. but thats not what this is about.. Where do college students fit into the "everyone should work eight hours a day" plan? in uk the recommended reading+ lectures time works out around 8 hours a day and if your from the uk and u mean college then generally it is 8 hours a day. Plus most people i know who go uni(college) need to work shed loads of hours anyway to keep up with bills. yeah but a lot of people do play RS like that, i dont care anymore about limits but i think saying u shud only be playing a video game for 4 hours a day isn't particularly extreme. the games addictive in nature. i also said i know a lot of people don't play liek that but a lot of people do. i know a lot of people played like me, except i only [bleep]ed up for a month or so and it didn't lose me any good mates, missed out ona few funny times but that's it. but yeah a lot of people do play like that all the time and i know that it damages them. watever clearly noone beleives the for some reason :blink: to reply to comment above. my friend went mental, while he was going mental we tried to stop him taking drugs, he said he didn't want help it was none of our buisness. really extreme example but yeah, sometimes people need a push to realise somethings out of the ordinary. think about alcoholics, the didn't want to become alcoholics. all extreme examples but relevant. why do interventions exist? EDIT please tell me what tldr means :(

No but it'd be better, at least they contribute something. what's the magic number, then? dude use your common sense.. look around at other people and see mate. its pretty standard that you work 8 hours a day. if youve got kids then hopefully you don't have to but ive worked with peeps who stilll do 8/10hour days. if jobs hard to come by then you should be looking. but seriously mate theres no magic number, is it not obvious that everyone should be aiming for 8 hours work a day? im on a farm at the moment, most things are self sufficient and we work 6-7hours a day every day except sunday. thats real life imo, thats paying bills and eating enough. people who don't work either scrounge of parents or the government. but thats not what this is about..

No but it'd be better, at least they contribute something.

Not saying that your in denial about your own playtime, but you must be about others. Come on I really don't wanna name names but I saw posts from 200mers who talk about life in a weird way, about how tiresome it is etc. Thats clearly from staring at a computer screen for unnatural ammounts of time a day. I'm sorry but I swear you can't dispute that, i have no way of prooving it but i wouldve thought it's obvious. Also you must be in denial or blind if you don't realise RS screws some peoples lives over, ive heard some real disturbing things in game. Maybe it would just be something else if it wasn't RS. im sorry but its obvious that some of those people arn't enjoying it that much. is it not common knowledge that a lot of people don't enjoy skilling/grinding? but a lot of people do it. is it not a bit weird? bonus exp weekend people were constantly complaining in sw chest about how bored they were. but they did it anyway. i think RS is an easy way to be commondated ad rewarded and to see the rewards and that a lot of the people that are playing a lot are doing it for that reason, not because they actually find it more fun than other things. and yeah obviously there will be some people who do genuinely enjoy the whole 16 hours they play but come on! edit: WHATS TL DLR??! Also Bladewing, someone who doesn't work at all and just plays on a game all the time really is bad for society. At the mo I only work 36 hours a week. Hell people who work 5 hours a week is alright but not working at all.. hmm..

By the way in Europer, UK at least, you vote for your representative who is a member of a prty but can also vote against the party, i think u understand European politics less than i understand american ^_^

:thumbup: They contribute nothing to society, I'll probably get hate for saying this but they're a waste of human life. This is obviously just your opinion, but do you have any logic/reason to back it up? yeah theyre not working, its not an opinion. maybe not 60 hours a week. but the people who are playing 12+ a day cant realistically have a full time job unless theyre insomniacs. theyre NEETs, hence contributing nothing to society.

Wow, you really don't know why? well yeah i do no that but if i said from playing too much rs im sure peopled say thats bull. if you think its obv playing 4 hours a day harms your social life then how can people say manage your time when they're obviously playing 4 hours a day. i dunno i think that a lot of people are in denial or summit, fairplay i guess a lot of people dont play that much. but a lot of people do. a looot

oh look its one of those ppl that says oh look. im just saying, i cant be the only one with this experience. i seriously think a lot of people ahve this problem but arn't facing it. i dont think im amazing, im 19 and i play rs man. well not anymore but whatever. also, thats a pretty big discussion but i think people have every right to try and help people when it's clearly detremental to their real life/society as a whole. you don't have to know someone to know that playing 20hours a day is clearly ruining their actual lives. did you read any posts by the 200mers? im not trying to act all high and mighty i genuinely wanna show some people that there's a better way to feel good than to obsessively play rs. its hard to find another example of something similar to rs.. but say a woman on my road was spending 20 hours a day sunbathing, id like to think i could say to her or those who cared for her that she was clearly damaging herself doing so. dont know what tl;dr means.. whatever i know people can mantain a healthy social life. but i know a lot of people can't, seriously man why are so many people in denial or somethign about this?? its obvious when i chat to some people on rs that they are playing way too much.
