If I had to sell it, I think I wouldn't accept a price beneath 5000 kronor.

This is a topic about fun and respect in RS. We all know that RS is about having fun. Still, the game is full of repetive things that you have to do if you want to reach the high levels in for example crafting or smithing. I know that we all like different things in the game, and some players find it really fun to do these things. But I can't keep wondering: Why are so many of those that don't find it fun really doing it, again and again, without break? A few examples of what I mean here could be make 40k bowstrings or melt 30k steel bars. To get a real high smithing level you have to first either spend loads of cash on ore or mine it yourself and then walk back and forth to a furnace a few hundred times (If you don't use super heat, but you still have to click a lot). The most of the game is about these repetive tasks and the most of us tries to complete these tasks as quick as we can. This to achieve our current goal so we can quickly start on our next one or reward ourself with doing something we think is fun. To me it seems like way too many just do these repetive tasks to win respect from others and that they don't really care about if what they're doing is fun or not. Instead of doing what they really do want to do, they start doing these repetive tasks in the hunt for respect and fame. This is, according to me, one of the biggest problems in RS. And I don't say that I'm myself not affected by this. Because I'm. In my history in RS I have many times done things that I haven't really wanted to, but done anyway to reach that high level everyone else seems to have and to get more respect from friends and other players. But however hard we train and for however long time we do this, there will always be more of these tasks that, if we're honest to ourselves, don't really want to do. But we still do them! And we will always think that we will be satisified once we have reached our next goal. This is if we don't break this chain and do those things that we really find fun in between these "must does". If we go and just hang out with friends or perhaps play a couple of castle wars games. Whatever you like to do in the game, make sure to do it every now and then. Otherwise you might very well become trapped inside this cage of hunt for respect and see nothing but the fame that awaits you as you have completed just one more of those repetive tasks. Then, when you're done with just that one, you will go and hang out with your friends. Another problem with this thinking is that when you once is done with this and go to hang out with your friends, you might find that you don't have any friends left. I realise that to progress in the game you simply sometimes have to do things that you don't find fun. This gets more and more common too as you get better and get higher skills and complete more quests in the game. But still, you must remeber to take a break from these things and have fun inbetween. Because even if you get more respect, you won't get more fun. And from my view that is what is the most important thing in RS. Then it is also of course so that doing these tasks can lead to many new opportunities to have fun. Then you should of course do these things, but you must still remember to take breaks. This is my view of this. I'm not turning to anyone special with this topic. I just want to give everyone a warning and make you think about what you do in the game. Ask yourself the question what is most important to you: More fun or more respect? I felt that this needed to be discussed, since I feel that this is one of the biggest problem in the game today. So, discuss.

Good luck, you certainly need luck when doing clue scrolls :) :D

You're doing nice progress, my swedish friend. That's some nice drops you have got aswell. Keep the good work up and good luck with getting 99 Magic!

Congratulions on getting 97 WC. You now have just 2 levels to go, but they're very long. Good luck!

Very impressing to be F2P. Keep it up :D!

You're skilling with variation, which is good. Keep working on those skills and good luck \ !

Good luck with your goals :D!

You seem like a very nice person :). You have come far into the game and seem to enjoy it much. You're also doing very nice progress and I wish you the best of luck with your goals.

Wow! Very nice! Full void is awesome :D! You got some very nice levels aswell. I don't want to meet you in a PvP world :P Keep it up and good luck :mrgreen: !

A very nice blog :). Keep it up, you're doing good progress. Good luck on getting your third 99 :)

FINALLY!!! Now I and all my swedish friends can pay much easier for RS :D!!! THANK YOU JAGEX! This is the second best update for me this year (Yes, RS HD was better ;) )!

Gratz on 60 farming :thumbsup: . Good luck with the rest of those goals :)

Gratz on 80 Prayer. You're doing fast progress! Keep it up and good luck :D!

80+ in all skills is a big goal. And it's hard to achieve aswell. I know since I'm myself going for 70+ and that's quite hard. Good luck, you will make it if you just keep going.

Gratz on 80 str! Good luck with your pure :)

Keep the good work up :)

Good luck with your goals, Elin. Fin blog du börjar få, förresten :)

Chaos druids drops a lot of all herbs. Just collect the most valueable ones and then sell them for a lot of good cash :)

Yes. I don't really need to say something more, do I?

It is very well worth it. Runite ores are excellent moneymakers.

Yes, I agree with everyone else above me. Do this and you will quickly get summoning xp :). Good luck with your training.

I would say around 1-1,1k bones/hour, but then you do it fast all the time. Perhaps a little less per hour if you're not running all the time.

That *****. It would have been real cool if it had worked.

Lol, very funny things here everyone :). I haven't got any funny rumours to share myself though, even though I have certainly heard some, I don't remember them.
