Would you like to see GM driven events in Runescape?
What stops you from doing that? Oh, you are too much of a wuss to try and pk in a dangerous situation. And yeah, green, the competence(or, rather, incompetence) of jagex would also be a major problem.

Oh yes, another ''why can't runescape have ''insert feature'' like in ''insert MMORPG''?'' Y'know, if your mother didn't have a ''insert v word'', she wouldn't be your mother. This is runescape, and it has runescape-ish things, deal with it.(every game can't be tailor-made for everyone and have all features possible)

Exactly how good is ely?
I have both(divine and ely) and ely is ridiculously worse. There is really no comparison(i've used them in bh+1 mostly). The fact that it doesn't take away KO potential just ****'s, so it's only really useful in places with no KO potential. In comparison with DFS, it's better at most areas but doesn't really shine.

People trying to sell my account with pictures from the Picture Thread
But what about previous pictures? If they really follow the picture thread, they could have quite a few of them by now. Well you just have to hope noone hates you that much and jagex doesn't care about it much, which, as we have seen in the recent years, they don't. If you have incidences like you've had, you should definitely watermark your forthcoming pictures for a medium length of time, and if it doesn't reoccur, proceed as usual.

People trying to sell my account with pictures from the Picture Thread
Yes you should be somewhat worried. It's an old problem and jagex has banned people who have had a picture of their account on sale on ebay. To avoid this, use watermarks on pictures.

The effect of a Balanced combat triangle.
What most people expect from a balanced combat triangle, i think, is that different combat classes have equal defeating potential vs the class they are strong against, are equal against their own respectful classes and are equally weak against the class that they are weak against. What i think, however, is that even if there was such 'perfect' system, it wouldn't matter as either two or three(or even 4) way hybrid would always be better than a single combat class, and balancing both the 1 vs 1 triangle and the hybrid x-angle at the same time would be impossible(unless you lose all the special points of combat classes like range and speed).

Tip.It Times - 5th December 2010
The first article is very interesting for me as i've never personally heard of rs having as bad reputation among other mmo communities- i've always stayed with a belief that only focusing on/playing one game allows you to have the most fun and be most successful at it. As much as i've heard of other games and can appreciate them there is one thing about rs that wasn't mentioned in the article- even though it might be one of the easiest and accessible games, it is also one of the hardest to 'complete' and achieve every major achievement, thus packing the most gameplay.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
How would anyone realistically know this if jagex hasn't explicitly said anything about it(and they don't give us any important information on the ge)? Likely, as it seems to be true for partyhats, there doesn't at all need to be sales trough the ge for an item to update- offers active in the ge are enough, though how many and how long they need to be in there, nobody knows, and the numbers for it to update are likely very different for these items.

how would the noob version of yourself react to the you of today?
Almost impossible to tell since this isn't the same game anymore. As a newbie(as i don't think it's fair to refer to any new and in-knowledgeable player as a noob) most of my friends were real life mates that also played the game, where as most of the friends nowadays are either people i've met first in RS and then i real life or whom i've been friends with for many, many years. Thus, more than likely, i just wouldn't have cared about strange high levels wearing strange brown armor, not talking or answering any of my questions.

Beat this?
Nice discussion... You'd need atleast ~15x that for it to really be relevant.

Alternative to DGing in W117
+1 You may consider yourself decent, but in reality, to get good, you need to learn alot before any good team would take you- make sure you have hood binded(the most important thing), have good understanding of monster weaknesses, have good understanding of gs/ggs, learn how to keep being active and not waste time doing meaningless things(making yourself full armor, for example, instead of fishing/cooking if it's needed) and the sort. Realistically, most of the people on w117 are around your levels of knowledge and are, too, finding their way to better dungeoneering. Only way you can make a real difference at this point is to key yourself(which is very difficult but will reduce the time of dungeons SIGNIFICANTLY if you are good at it).

yes another i need help with moneymaking thread, help me anyways =]
The example tells us that slayer has been and/or was a good moneymaker, but nothing much about the state of it nowadays. 99 slayer is usually a large enough sample size to give good averages, and we know the exact whip droprate(and have good data for other valuable drops apart from visages, which range around 20m slayer xp per). Overall, slayer is a deacent moneymaker, but certainly not a good one when it's never the best. If you want money, camping is always better.

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
Why would your cannon be in your inventory? :shock: Also, it's actually less risk because you don't need to bring bow/ammo/range armor. I'd agree, though, that it's more clicking and more risky(in terms of chance of death).
-
yes another i need help with moneymaking thread, help me anyways =]
Errm, it's worthless to bring such instances into an example. I, for example, made around 300m camping for whips when cash was worth loads more(blue hat was 30m), but it's useless for giving example of a good moneymaker as the time only moves in one direction. If bringing examples, it's worthless to talk about anything but averages. Slayer isn't a good moneymaker on the basis that camping one particular monster is always better.

yes another i need help with moneymaking thread, help me anyways =]
Unless you got alot of whips at ~10m ea i'm calling that 700m a complete bs. Other people who don't cannon make around 150m from 90-99 slayer, so 700m is totally bogus. Whoever said it was from 90 - 99 :roll: Anyway call it what you want my friend. The bank never lies. I said that an average player earns around that much from 90-99 slayer. If you can't understand what an example is, no doubt you are arguing something this stupid. The bank never lies? what kind of proof is that? i have 5b in my bank, so i can say that woodcutting is a great way of making cash. Prove me wrong. Also, as proof you are VERY likely making things up, if you camp abyssal demons for equivalent of 99 slayer(13,034m xp) you make 688m from whip drops, assuming a whip is 4m(an overestimate). There are only two(three if you do daggs at DK's) that can make as much money as abyssal in the whole of slayer.

Smithing with scroll of efficiency?
OP has 99 magic OP is 72-93 smithing(89 needed for addy plates) Mine/superheat gold or smelt/superheat gold until 89 and then either continue or do addy plates. The scroll is definitely worth it when you get 99 smithing and want to get more xp(as rune 2h/legs are the most efficient method).

Dungeoneering Rewards
A little off topic, but why is Karil's Crossbow better? Would it also be the best for slayer, following that logic? What do you class as being best? If you mean most DPS no matter the cost then rune knives are best for kurdals dungeon and hand cannon everywhere else. If you mean efficiency, then rune cbow is better than ccbow in most places(including frosts). Interesting, but how does Karil's xbow compare to those two? Grimy's spreads? best for any of your DPS needs(as i don't know what def/etc you are particularly interested in).

200M in all Skills
That's what i'm thinking. I agree that they can be useful, but it's wrong to say that they are extremely useful when they don't actually speed up the dungeon, which is the whole point of having teammates. It's also almost as difficult or even more difficult to be a skiller in dungeoneering than it is to key, etc.

It's exactly the same as for all other trapping, click once/twice under the trap you want to go to next as you are finishing setting up a current trap.

200M in all Skills
Somewhat forgot about that(haven't dungeoneered much with con spots), yeah, but then again, that also limits the usefulness of the level 3 skiller(able to make an altar) and still limits the skiller to GD rooms. I just can't see how having skillers are useful in p2p pro dungeoneering.
-
200M in all Skills
I think you are dismissing a lot of big problems having a level 3 skiller creates while dungeoneering... They are level 1 magic and thus can't teleport and have to make their own way to the boss room. Good luck with that while rushing... Because teams will more than likely be rushing(and there is no reason not to) there is a very limited number of rooms the skiller can go to without being attacked(they can't use hoods too), so to be able to do 5 men rooms effectively, you can't do 5:5 larges, you have to do 5:4 larges. This also limits the number of fishing spots/rocks/trees the skiller can effectively access to create items. The only thing they can easily provide is potions, and if the skiller has higher levels than other teammates, the team is very much screwed(skiller having to open skill doors). It is true that having one lower level reduces the difficulty of the dungeon, but a 5:5 with 4 138's and a level 3 is still more difficult than a 4:4 with 4 138's, so in p2p, i don't think having skillers is beneficial. In f2p, they are much more useful and can definitely get easy xp from there.

Bonecrusher
Damn...that's a terrible OCD to have...what do you do cannoning dagg's , lol? Anyway, unless you are 100+(++) dungeoneering or are planning on getting that far in any time soon, the bonecrusher definitely isn't worth it.

3rd Age/Spirit shields/Phats Discussion
Exactly my thoughts, although i think both ely and divine will be less useful(although they'll till be the most useful shields) from ~now on(also, it's worth noting that the damage reduction works for select combat classes, where as ely and divine both always work).
