wat o_O I'm sorry it didn't work out but honestly it kind of sounds like you're better off. ^ That comment makes me wtf.

Please tell me you got that blue charm :ohnoes: Oh, and congratulations!@ I did, don't worry! :mrgreen: And thanks!

Oh dear :P

I highly doubt people are going to lose interest in Tip.It because of a popup that will only continue popping up on public computers. I think we're accommodating the vast majority of people with how we've set this up. You're asking us to make a much bigger sacrifice and more effort to change things than you would have to make by typing six more characters to fix your problem (forum.tip.it).

http://www.facebook.com/RuneScape I didn't see anything of the sort though. Just some weird stuff about the KBD and Kalphite Queen getting married.

Well the exact quote is: So the original drop rate is reduced, and then it will further decrease when you receive more. Another quote

Guys the hostility is kind of getting out of hand. You can disagree with each other but try to do it in more respectful and less cut throat terms.

I think the 5 effigy max is absurd. Now people are forced to get assistance with effigies they can't open, rather than saving them for when they can open them. I'm not too bothered about the drop rate decrease to be honest. I do kind of feel like effigies cheapened the more difficult skills like runecrafting and slayer. You shouldn't be able to level those more efficiently by not training them, and that was kind of the case :/

@ the above McDonald's/work conversation - let's stay on topic please guys (in other words - let's drop that conversation ;)) --- I was pretty annoyed at the entire effigy change first (speaking as someone who doesn't hunt effigies). Now I'm mostly just annoyed at the 5 effigy limit. Yes people could stock up and gain massive amounts of xp, but who cares? Either you steadily gain xp over several weeks or you gain all the xp in one sitting. Honestly what's the difference? It still takes the same amount of time to get the resources for the xp. My main problem with it is that you're now FORCED to go out and get assistance with effigies you can't open. People like saving them for when they have the required skill levels so they can take full advantage of the xp rewards. Now you can't save them for when you're ready unless you want to stop receiving effigies completely. I think the only thing I do approve of is making runecrafting respectable again. Effigies didn't make 99 runecrafting fast, but it helped a lot. It used to be a respectable 99 because it took patience. With effigies it became an easy and slightly faster skill to train.

Can't be with my boyfriend today, unfortunately :( But that's okay, I'll be talking to him all day on Skype :thumbup:

I could make you one if you provide the screenshots you want in it :P :D:D:D Once I get my Kiln Cape.... (Today I hope) I assume text can be changed easilyish? I really didn't get enough sleep. :sad: Correct :P

I could make you one if you provide the screenshots you want in it :P

I'm not sure how this supposed group would differ that much from the website crew. The group may not be called "Knowledgeable RuneScape Players" or whatever but people are generally (main exception being coders) recruited into the website crew because they're knowledgeable about the game. I would trust them to give good advice. I guess the one difference would be that more people could join this knowledge/advice group since there would be no activity/behaviour requirements. But it still seems a little redundant to me next to the website crew. Slightly more on-topic.. you'll be pleased to know that we have greatly loosened our rules regarding encouraging/admitting to gambling/trust trading/dicing/etc. In short, the only rule we now have against it is no advertising gambling clans/groups or loan "companies."

*changes title* :mrgreen:

Reporting Scams and Bad Trades/Services If you initiated a trade in the Marketplace board and the person you decided to trade with tried to scam you (either by failing to render services paid or by attempting to trade in a dangerous place like a PvP area), please take the following steps to report them: If it happened in-game and violated Jagex's rules against scamming, immediately report the player to Jagex using the in-game report user feature. As long as the trade was agreed upon and initiated on the Tip.It Forum, you can also report the user to a Tip.It Moderator or Administrator. You can either send us a private message or report the post where the user agreed to the trade using the /!\ Report function. Please include as much evidence as you can to support your claims, including a detailed summary of the trade/incident and screenshots/videos. Every bit helps. If you do not provide enough evidence we cannot guarantee that action will be taken against the user, but we will do the best we can with what you give us. Remember to abide by the Tip.It Forum Rules. You may not publicly name someone as a scammer and therefore, you may not make posts like, "Player A scammed me! Don't trade with him!" Report the post to the Tip.It Staff, as described above, and let them handle the situation appropriately. The best way to combat scamming is prevention. Take the time to fully examine the situation and ask yourself, "Is this worth the risk?" "Are we meeting in a safe location?" "Is it necessary that we trade in a PvP combat zone?" (The answer to that last question is no!). Always thoroughly check the trade screen before accepting and do not take any unnecessary risks! If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to contact a Tip.It Moderator or Administrator at any time. Happy (safe) trading!

I also got about 820k construction xp tonight. :P

Hm I'm not entirely sure that we have enough people introducing themselves to merit an entire forum. But Ring_World is right, we have a sticky for introductions :) So feel free to repost in the thread he linked to! Welcome to the forum! :thumbsup: I think it's awesome what you're studying. I'm very into design/multimedia myself! Please feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions :)

All that proves is that there are some attractive older men. What about Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry? I'm not a man but I assume those are generally attractive women and they're all in their 40s.

I think my odds of having sex with 24-year-olds when I'm 60 are a lot higher than having sex with my 60-year-old wife. The sex would probably be better too. I lol'd. I want to interview you when your 65. I want to see how many 24 year old girls you pick up hahaha This :P If you're not listening to anyone who hasn't been in a monogamous relationship for over 5 years, I'm not listening to you until you're 65 and regularly banging 24 year old women :P

Unless you're insanely rich (let's face it, there are loads of young women who like guys for their money), good luck having sex with hot 24-year-olds when you're 60.

Except not everyone sees it that way. I have not moved in with my boyfriend full time but I have stayed with him for weeks at a time, multiple times. I have had to give up space in my room, change my schedule a bit, share my dishes/computer/bed/other items. You would call that sacrificing space and freedom. It doesn't bother me at all. I don't feel like I'm giving up anything, even though technically I am. I love sharing things with him, I love doing favours for him, I love making space for him. Just because it happened to you and just because you felt like you were giving up your freedom does not mean everyone feels that way.

I've been in love before and know exactly what you're talking about. My first relationship lasted for 3 years and it was awesome... and then things fell apart :P The same way your previous one did, I'd imagine. Monogamy isn't designed to facilitate the feelings you described above, and monogamy isn't necessary to experience what you described. You see monogamy as giving up you're freedom. I don't. If you're truly in love, you won't feel like you're giving up anything. And yet I'm out of the honeymoon phase and still feeling them :P It's not impossible to still feel things like this outside of the honeymoon phase. Less likely - fine. But it's not like there's a scientific threshold and suddenly you stop feeling certain emotions after 12-18 months. EDIT: Besides.. The honeymoon phase is well known as the "romantic" phase. To quote an article: I don't think what I was describing was romance. It was general companionship.

People who enjoy relationships and monogamy don't see it as giving up freedom. And when you're in love, it does make you happier. Putting aside your opinions on whether or not it's capable of lasting, relationships and companionship do add to happiness. You clearly haven't been in love and you're not a fan of monogamy so you won't be able to relate. But not everyone feels the same way as you. When you're in love, you WANT to share your life with the other person. You enjoy their presence. It's like hanging out with your best friend. You don't feel like you're sacrificing anything, and you definitely don't feel like you're giving up freedom. That may be the case for you, which is fine. But people who prefer monogamy probably generally feel ^ that way.

Locking this since it isn't really a discussion ;) General Discussion is for stirring discussion, whereas you're just making a statement that they're unstoppable. If you'd legitimately like a question answered you can make a new thread in Help & Advice. If you just generally want to talk about this training method, you can probably do it in this thread: http://forum.tip.it/topic/307942-video-afk-effigy-guide/ :) Alternatively, if you'd like to rewrite your post to make more room for discussion (i.e. talk about this update in general, make a stance on whether it should be updated or not, etc.) feel free to PM me with your new first post and I'll unlock this topic if necessary!

Once again, I genuinely do not understand why you think we're feeding you bullshit. You don't like the rules - okay. You disagree with the rules - okay. But how are we feeding you bullshit? Did you read Kevin's post at all? These are our rules - they are clearly outlined in the forum rules thread. They're there for you all to see and you complain when you break them. Where is the problem exactly? You don't like our reasoning? How does it not make sense? How is it not justified? Instead of crying and moaning, actually try to put an argument together instead of just labelling it bullshit.
