That's obviously your outlook upon RuneScape, but once you have achieved level 99 in all skills, all of that money that you used on membership, you can't just walk away from the game, you need to set new goals, so you try for 200mil exp in a skill, taking it one skill at a time. In the end, yes, it may be just a game, but do you'll think you'll get admired any more in the real life by working at your job? No, unless you hit it big, no one cares, even the celebrities get forgotten later. We all have our ways of living our lives, and setting goals, no matter what it concerns, no matter what it's importance, is just as good as any other goal. you cant compare working at a job (which u need to survive) to a game which you play when ur bored. people dont ussally get admired when they go to work, but wats the point to do something that with take 5years from your life with nothing in return?? not to mention that that person would also hav to pay aournd 300 for the 6 years of membership. why should someone improve something that cant be improved on, when they could be improving themselfes instead??
