Complaining about things never gets you anywhere. It just makes you look like an impatient child. The people that have no problem waiting for content get fed up with threads like this where it's nothing but a whine-fest. And please, don't give me the classic "Then don't look at those threads!" line. It's a forum, I'm bored, there's a new thread. I'm going to read it. It's a forum, they're bored and they want to complain. :rolleyes: I don't get what the problem is, if people want to complain about Jagex then let them. They haven't been doing a great job recently in my opinion so any criticism that comes their way is fully deserved, it's just as childish to call it "whining" when people are merely making themselves heard. Complaining =/= whining.

Having a BTS wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea, Jagex should just make sure they have all the updates ready to go live before they release the BTS. It honestly isn't a difficult concept to grasp, if you tell people you are going to give them something and then don't give it to them they are going to be upset. It is perfectly within reason for paying customers to make their views heard (even if done immaturely sometimes).

Why did they bother bringing out BTS again? If they took it away because people complained when things weren't brought in on time they shouldn't bring it back and tell people to stop being impatient.

If people enjoy the film surely that is a mark of success? The amount of people on this thread alone giving it praise indicates it is seen by many as good.

All one task, #40 - #42.

Will, what server you on? Saurfang. As for what class to make, it really does depend. I have only played one char (Human Paladin) and it's pretty easy to level, but I don't really know about other classes so I'm not the best person to ask. :P

How many do you reckon it would be possible to kill in an hour? I have these blocked as a Slayer task but I might consider unblocking them if they really are that quick.

Urgh, been doing lots of questing with my friend and queuing for dungeons at the same time, keep getting really [cabbage]ty DKs trying to tank or healers that don't heal. :/

I've got a 65 Human Paladin I've been playing on for about two months now, enjoying the game especially as I have some RL friends that are around the same level which is cool. Questing in Zangermarsh at the moment. :thumbup:

Some of those are really old, the one of me must've been taken nearly a year ago now. :blink:

Toy Story 3, the 3D didn't seem like such a gimmick which was nice.

Quite proud of this, firemaking isn't my favourite skill. Might go back to Slayer for a bit and get money and charms for 97 Summoning, or maybe some afk Fishing.

Ahrims Staff 94 Firemaking

Bought enough gold ore for 95 Smithing, down to 1M cash now and need to get another ~10M to pay for nature runes so I'll be back at Barrows for a bit I think.

10/10, this is something I've been working towards for a while. Killed so many Abyssal Demons without a head, but I used to have KQ and KBD before I redid my house so I'm working towards getting them back.

I'm sorry but: Derp Derp Derp. SHE IS NOT BASHING QUESTS. SHE IS GIVING HER OPINION ON THE SUBJECT. NOWHERE DID SHE SAY THEY WERE A WASTE OF TIME, THAT THEY WERE NONSENSE, THAT THEY WERE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME ETC ETC. How many times must a person be told. This is Racheya's opinion. O-P-I-N-I-O-N. And no I'm not going to go as far as to post a pathetic video to explain it. And for the record: No one gives a [orange wedge] that your going to write a review about Love Story. Haven't you noticed that I haven't given a [orange wedge] about any of your posts either?... You really are wasting your time you know, I'm already giving you more attention that I actually have by letting you know that I have no intentions to talk with someone who spams "derp" and WRITEZ IN LEET CAPS LUL! :mellow: First and last time I reply to you. She didn't only claim it was her opinion, she treated "quest phobia" as something universal in the end, I think it's you who should read again. Do I need to go and get quotes for you or can you find it yourself? Anyway, if you don't believe me.. why don't you go and put down skilling in front of some skillers right now in game? Go ahead and do that, you can even invite me to come so I witness it myself. Then when you get some reactions you can tell me if I'm right or if I'm wrong. It's generally accepted that an article is an opinionated piece pertaining to the subject choice of the author. And like I said, if I told a skiller I didn't like skilling they wouldn't be overly offended. I didn't say I would go up to a 99 Miner and tell them their favourite skill is worthless, because that isn't what the article is about either.

You probably mean for you this game has no purpose of direction through questing. Nope, the game has no clear cohesive storyline, the stories often add next to nothing to effect gameplay or the world . Storylines that might be important, stay open for so dang long any possible interest in them dwindles. Quests are no more important than skilling, no more less important, both are an equal time waste that are no more correct than the other. The skills vs quests debate is trite and rather pointless. I fail to see how people swear by quests being so great and entertaining moreso than watching paint dry or ceiling fan blades spinning, I can count the quests i've enjoyed on two hands, and considering the amount of quests, thats sad. I prefer PVP over skilling or questing, but the fact is, questing is nothing more than a slightly more complicated (depending on the quest) distraction and diversion. You mention questing and skilling as being equal, then treat PVP separately saying that you like it. Do you mean to imply PVP is more useful? Because, no points of view involved here, skills are necessary to unlock quests and new items, quests are needed to unlock some skills and also new items, but nothing in game is commited to PVP. I have never PKed in game and yet I have a Quest Cape along with skill total level of 1780. While I agree the three main reasons to play Runescape are skills, quests and PVP, each being able to deliver as much fun to the player, from a neutral point of view we could agree PVPing is the less important activity among the three. All you need to do is write an article, 600+ words, then PM it to me and it'll be added to our list of guest articles to be published. You'd have to come up with your own topic, though. And like it's already been said, it wasn't a review of questing, it was an opinion. And, if people WANT to bash on questing, they're free to. Whatever your favourite activity in game is, if someone comes and bashes on it you won't be happy about it. Go tell a PVPer that PVP is nonsense, that its useless, pointless, etc etc, how do you think he will react? Go tell a skiller than skill pures are a total waste of time and that they would be better of spending their time on a job than on skills, what do you think their reacting will be? Of course we have freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean you can leave respect for others out. I'll write the topic, it will be probably over 600 words, and I hope you're not just fooling me into wasting my time. I'll be doing Love Story tomorrow so I'll be reviewing that quest already (but not for you or for tip it), I'll get the one we're talking about done after tomorrow or so. As lots of people have pointed out, the article was not singling out questers or saying that questing is useless or pointless. In fact, Racheya even acknowledged that quests are useful but she was just saying she doesn't enjoy them. I love questing but you don't see me having a go at people just because they don't like it. I can't stand mining, if I told that to a 99 Miner I doubt they'd take the trouble to be offended because I like a different part of the game to them.

I might go back to soloing and train a bit so I can use these new features. :thumbup:

That's the point, you PERSONALLY love quests - but this isn't the same for everyone, I do hope you realise. Everyone can have different feelings about quests and I assure you that there are people who have Quest Phobia. And I can assure you I pity those people. I strongly agree with Aceethan, the post was ridiculous. Stop doing riskless tasks such as no-lifing skills, get some games like Zelda and such and stop overacting so much over skills. My main reason to play the game is quests, and it sickens me to constantly hear people acting as if they were a minor activity in game, stop putting down other people's activities in game. You don't see people putting down skills, do you? It's really annoying how, when you like quests, you need to hear these people who have "quest phobia" whining all the time. Imagine that your favourite food is cake and everytime you had cake some guy was constantly blaming it next to you. Whenever a quest is out, every forums get flooded with immature kids spamming "guyde plz" "plz men y need halp with quest y am stuck" "plz post guyde", you go out and try to do the quest and you get 30 fools following you around asking for instructions, it gets pretty annoying. You don't like quests, you think they're just an obstacle and you absolutely need guides to do them, then don't do them. Get over it, they're just not for your level of questing experience, stop harassing those who love questing. I don't think Racheya is putting down questing at all, she's just saying she doesn't like it. :huh:

The ends justifies the means. :thumbup:

I don't think calling it a phobia is strictly correct though, unless you are genuinely afraid of doing a quest. In which case, why do them at all?

Last kill before I was about to log, only Abyssal and KQ to go now. :thumbsup:
