While I can appreciate certain parts of the original post, I can't help but wonder why ex-players still feel the need to contribute to this forum? What are they expecting this will achieve? I don't think that their opinions are relevant at all, but of course, that is merely my own opinion. I for one joined at the very start of the "miniclip era", at this time I was by no means immature, being in my late twenties. I had my own business and when I wasn't so busy I used to play miniclip's other games to pass the time. I was intrigued by the runescape ads and finally decided to give it a shot. I did and I haven't looked back. I'm a high level player now myself and I have prided myself in sticking to my original goal which is never to kill another player in the wilderness. I help the new guys also when I have the time, but I will politely decline if it will get in the way of my own enjoyment of the game. I enjoy the quests, levelling skills and talking to the few people I have on my friends list. I think that if you are having a problem with the community in general, there are many ways this can be worked around, i.e. turn chat to off or friends only, this applies to both public and private chat. Otherwise simply ignore it, that's why I do. At the end of the day, it's only a game and it shouldn't be taken as seriously as some people obviously do. And my feeling is, if you don't like it, simply don't play it.
