I think there's hope for you yet. Very well put.

Very true, Ard my dear. Thanks for the suggestions on which things to level. If you'll notice, a lot of my levels are in "fire and forget" skills, where I don't have to pay much attention. Both thieving and agility are like that, for me.

Bump.. still formulating goals for 1700. I am thinking: 99 Firemaking (19 levels) 99 Fletching (6 levels) 90 Woodcutting (8 levels) 85 Crafting (8 levels) 75 Agility (8 levels) 80 Thieving (7 levels) 75 RC (9 levels) 85 Herb (2 levels) 80 Mining (9 levels) 85 Smithing (9 levels) 80 Farming (3 levels) 90 Fishing (9 levels) That totals to 97 levels, so I'll need 3 more somewhere.

I am surely going to give it a shot. Thanks for the compliment!

Basically I have to double my XP in all non-combat skills. Some, that won't be so bad. But going from 83 to 90 herblore? I have a purple partyhat that I might have to pawn to afford the next 100 levels in a realistic timeframe. We'll see.

Thanks gonzlar. I really don't want to ruin Skater's thread by causing a flame war. I just wanted to be a voice of reason, but I guess it went over some people's heads. Well, maybe it went over no one's head. Gosh, that was a bad pun. :oops:

Sexual harrassment is not a crime - only in the workplace is it an issue. What the guy did was rude - and perhaps borderline assault (no pun intended) - but not illegal. Never did I lash out at anyone. Work on your reading comprehension. No need to flame, child. Skater made a big mistake, and it might cost him. If he learns from it, he'll be a better person. I personally hope that he does learn from this. Skater, don't make a bad situation worse by flaming the judge or being unrepentant about what happened. You'll regret it if you do. Be a man, own up to what you did - and things will go smoothly.

Hi, and welcome to my progress thread, here at Tip.it! I'm a "skiller", though not in the level-3 sense. I have mid-level combat skills with a high total. I've been working on this account (my only) since some time in 2005, though I'm not sure what my initial signup date was.

I hate to say it, but you should go to jail (or whatever they have for minors). I honestly hope you do, maybe you'll learn something from it. I also hope you have to pay for the other guy's repairs. Hitting the guy doesn't make you a good man, it just makes you someone who can't control his temper. What he did was wrong, but what you did was much more wrong. I know this won't be popular with the mainly teenage crowd here, but you can't act like that. It's called assault, and it's serious. I assume you're not an animal, so why act like one? Of course, you'll snort and beat your chest and talk about protecting your girl, but that's a load of cabbage. All you proved is that you've not yet developed the responsibility that signals adulthood. Any ape can explode and use violence. It takes a real man to control that beast and take appropriate action. You sir are still a child.

I must say, these are good ideas. Prayer - exactly, Saradomin seems to handle defense. So when you do something that ticks him off, he shouldn't help you. Yes, the abyss is a problem. But, we've seen that it's a Zamarok technology - so really, you should lose prayer there too. I say this as someone who only crafts via the abyss, too. As for teleports, I don't think that necessarily works as well as the prayer point, if only because magic isn't really tied to any god. On a related note, I'd love to see city guards attack skulled players on sight.

If people saw totals instead of combats, I'd get a lot more respect. :P I really like this idea.

That's a very good point, but it's the philosophy I'm against. I don't like for players to be able to interrupt my gameplay unavoidably. If you made this exact same thing totally random (that is, not player initiated), I'd be all for it. Say you get this random after training the same skill for 30 minutes plus. Having chat off or hide increases the chances of it. If you are actively chatting, you won't get the random. I do see your point, Lim. It's a very good one. Not reported >> reported, any day. I just think you're going about it the wrong way. Anyways, a nitpick. I'm not being antisocial, I'm just not being social in the game. I play with a very few people. If I'm not with them, I'm being social in IM or a forum or some other digital place.

I think that most of the details can be worked out. There's one that can't, and it's the one that kills it for me. This suggestion creates consequences for ignoring other players. That's just not acceptable. I refuse to be held hostage by people who demand that I converse with them.

It's a hypothetical, no one has any kind of "proof" of how it might work - nor do I need to provide any. Misdirection. Your opinion. Misguided, shortsighted, and ignorant, but still your opinion. The fact that Jagex revoked the ban doesn't mean he didn't break the rules. Post hoc propter hoc. Getting reported is much worse than dying to a random. False Analogy. So let's see, three falacies. Stick to the minor leagues, kid. ***** I agree with the previous poster. I don't want to get harassed for ignoring people. I don't want the people I'm ignoring to be able to punish me (by flooding me with randoms). That kinda defeats the purpose.

In the end, I feel like the potential for abuse outweighs whatever gains might be had. Also, I feel like this is a stop-gap, as I said above. It won't really make the problem any better. Furthermore, if what Jagex says is true, then they already have a system that monitors us in place. Just keep reporting them as you have. Things are much better here in P2P now, and reports will make them get better and better.

30 seconds? I'd be banned within a week.

An interruption such as you describe is much better, but could still be hugely abused. All someone has to do is spam you with requests, and thus interrupt your gameplay constantly. Players can and will report me now, but at least it's likely to be ignored because I'm not really autoing. The one step judge, jury, executioner system that you're describing cannot be ignored. The report box isn't spammable, and has consequences for misuse. Your proposal, as it stands, is perfect made for spamming or harassing (since it's ignorable only with draconian consequences) and has no consequences for misuse. I can see it now. Scenario One "You're taking my rock/tree/spawn/oxygen!" -no response- "Macroer!" -commence warning spam- -resource gathering halted till other player logs off or gets bored- Scenario Two -player is Dharoking- -evil chicken appears- -surrounding players start warning spam- -player Dharoking dies- Scenario Three Any pking. Proof is obvious. Players don't need quasi-moderator authority unless they've proved they can use it responsibly and justly. Lim, step outside and imagine how others might use this system. You and I would use it responsibly to root out the evil autobots. But a hormone crazed, immature teen? What about whose sadistic tendencies have been allowed to emerge due to anynonymity? I'm not without enemies (though I've nothing compared to Raichase :D), and I quake in my digital boots to imagine my enemies with the power to unavoidably ruin my gameplay and possibly have me banned.

Lim, I'd have to say that this is too open for abuse. It's like teleother, but infinitely more problematic. With teleother abuse, I might die and lose my stuff. If this is abused I might get banned. Say I'm not paying attention. This is not uncommon. I cut trees and mine wile reading something else. I only click back into the window every so often to check and see if I need to pick a new tree or rock. So, someone does this report thing, and I miss the message because I'm just doing a mouseover on the corner of the RS window that's showing. I'm instabanned by an idiot for legitimate playing. I play with chat off all the time, and I'm sure I'd get positively flooded with these things. As much as I hate autobots (makes me a Decepticon I suppose), I think this is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I think a step in the right direction is the following - 1 - More player mods. Thousands, tens of thousands more. 2 - More CS people to actually give some thought to reports of abuse 3 - Part-time people paid to be in-game moderators/administrators with actual authority past muting (as in other games) Personally, I am sure the day is coming when I'll be banned for autoing, because I play with chat off and I can be somewhat single minded in my training... and the fact that I often miss clicks when I'm not paying attention (and thus walk around like a drunken penguin). Something is wrong when legitimate players fear the law. Ideas like yours, while good-intentioned, would just serve to create more fear.

I had a Fire Giants assignment for slayer, so I set off to do them at the Waterfall. I walked from Seers, made it to the raft, and realized I'd forgotten my rope. So I walk back to Seers, bank, and back to the raft. What's this? Still no rope? Where's my mind! Another trip back to Seers. Grab TWO ropes. Back to the waterfall... and no Galarial's amulet. I burthorped the dern Giants. :lol:

I got my party hat from herblore, mainly.

Tchip, we're talking in-game rules. I never signed any confidentiality clause, so that's not legally binding.

I mean edgeville trade scams, not "drop 4 d long" scams. I don't go into the wild, so no one has scammed me. I guess I didn't make that clear.

Gosh, of course it's common sense. I'd never argue that it wasn't.

I've seen lots of people here defend luring, saying that if you go into the wild you should expect to die. I've always thought that explanation was shortsighted, but couldn't really point to anything that made luring reportable. Thing is, Jagex says that it's scamming. I sent a query, and here's the answer: So, tip.it - don't support these scammers anymore. Report them. Jagex needs to make this explicit. Anyone who continues to support luring supports scammers, and we all know how long those people last here at tip.it. Jagex says luring is a scam. Don't do it or support it.
