"Yes" - I'm studying a minor in computer science at the Delft university of technology. (Finished a major bachelor degree in physics, and am now doing my second major in aerospace engineering). I've programmed in more languages than I can remember, and really just "coding" is the easiest thing on earth once you know it. There is no difficulty in this, and it won't be long before programming is removed from university level and expected to be standard knowlenge for students. - "Programming" isn't higher than high school level. The difficulty is describing what a user wants and converting that to your application. - Or creating the possibility to program (formally defining a language which is easier/better than others).

Then you have no idea the kind of money that hacking accounts can bring. More money than my bank account holds? - More money than a year of my study costs? If that would be the case, I'd immediatelly sell my rs account: a free study year is invaluable.

Good luck hacking those lol Saving passwords is the best safety feature people have - there is no way to "hack" those saved passwords, or decrypt them. Please wicked_, sound less like a script kiddie and learn to program properly before making these statements with an "authority". Mk, my last post seemed to have vanished. Perhaps before calling me a script kiddie, you should check out my About Me page. And to say that saving passwords is the best safety feature? Really? Perhaps you out to check out the software I pointed out that can retrieve and decrypt the saved passwords of any infected computer at the click of a button. And DD, me and you both know innocent people's computers are compromised daily. Take my example that happened 2 - 3 months ago. I had 3 e-mail accounts all linked together. One of these e-mails actually used for my Facebook. One of my e-mails had the security question: Mother's birthplace? Well, I live in Windsor, so where do you think she was born? An easy steal. They got all 3 of my e-mails and took my Facebook for a day. Had my Facebook been linked to my RuneScape, it's be gone to. Really, "innocent people's computers are compromised daily".. This is a very generic statement: and I still don't believe anyone would do this for runescape.. I mean a game, come on, there's much more to win than a simple game when you gain access to someone's PC. But besides that: by automatically filling in forms, you are way less prone to key/screen logging. Not for nothing HP has standard a system to automatically fill in passwords (when logged in at a username) - it is promoted a security feature. But the biggest security hole nowadays: password re-use. Really make a site providing some porn, and ask for signups. about 4 in 5 people will reuse an old password for that website (as you have to sign up to so many things nowadays it's simply unfeasable to remember passwords). Automatically generated passwords (with a master password/fingerprint) prevent this. You still SOUND as a script kiddie: you may know your languages well (though which talented person would go to a company instead of doing a university study is beyond me) - but remember that programming is just factory work. Software engineering / compiler theory etc etc are things that require intelligence.

A business without "perspective" is as empty as a balloon: and will pop sometime. Really it's bad for employees (they get less motivated if just working to "earn money" instead of working for a thing they believe in), it's bad for your public image, and it's finally bad for long term development. There is no long standing company which doesn't have a perspective: and during studies this is the first thing you learn when forming a company. "selling to a venture" is often frowned down upon here, and goverment often prevent sales: this should give a message that "only profit" is bad business for everyone - in the same manner pyramid schemes are. Ford started to make cars for everyone: and they still provide affordable cars. Philips started to be inovative for light: and bring good environment choices. Currently they are investing mainly is medical apparature: but still the most innovative of the world. ASML started to provide chipmachines which would bring the newest technology together DAF has the aim to have least footnote: their trucks are natural the least demanding, and they were the first to describe tests to test motor exhaust. (Those are all companies I have friends/familie working at high level). Or take an internet based company: yoyogames. Founded by Sandy Duncan (leader of xbox europe for quite some time) and Mark Overmars (prof at university utrecht). They are actually caring about "the community" - they constantly ask the community to give feedback (heck there've been many contest for company logos - or now that they turned their site to another theme, they are open for user submitted themes). They respond in a personal clean manner with bugs. These things make me (at the very least) feel much more comfortable to report bugs, devote my free time to actually find bugs and describe them cleanly. Jagex could also do this: while maybe constant personal message would be too much. They could at least "show their face" more often, act less like divine beings who know everything better.

this action seems like how rats flee the ship before it's too late.

From my experience, the TYPE of events has a lot of influence on the xp gained - the campfire event seems to give a hellula lot xp, where the bridge doesnt'seem to give much? The difficulty has less influence - I was however unable to test if the diffuclty has ANY influence at all (as the xp / type differs so widely, and you can't see the xp directly during a trek). smiddi's at 40 now for me annoyingly slow to lvl.

just fight gear + (tinderbox), knife, silver weapon (or if finished all myreque quests, the ivandis flail) + hatchet Tinderbox can be replaced with potatoes/strawberries/cabbages.

Can't you simply camp with that familair? - To get pray XP on an AFK manner.

He joined 10 minutes ago and the first thing he posts is a link in General Discussion. How did you not think something phishy was going on? No virus here.. Why people distrust others so much.

Thing is, it isn't comparable. Also, to the whole "fun" debacle: 20 minutes saved by 5 hours of temple trekking Meaning, if you just spend those 20 minutes, and do an activity you find more fun than temple trekking for the remaining 4:40 hours, you'll end up having more fun than if you had spent the 5 hours trekking. This meaning, of course, that unless temple trekking is THE way to have fun for you, then it's useless to play it in order to grab the construction outfit. no, you don't understand a "game" do you: Gaming isn't about "more" or "less" fun: it's about avoiding boredom. So if I have to do 15 minutes of a terrible boring thing and then 4 hours a very fun thing - or 5 hours a "just fun" thing - I rather do that 5 hours of "just fun". - More fun is when you go drinking with friends anyways. I'm not playing rs to achieve much fun, I play it to beat boredom. - So anything that prevents me from doing something repetitive is amazing.

"No better way" -- to what? Waste your time on ineffectual rewards? :unsure: Having FUN equals "waste of time"? The whole POINT of runescape is having fun: and by providing alternative methods to gain something each person can choose the method that is for him the most fun. - THAT is good game design, not a linear game where people get scoffed for choosing something they think is more fun. Runescape needs lots more of these updates, which don't provide real "faster xp" or "faster money" - but just alternatives, with (hopefully) compareble money/xp rates. The new thing earns me about 500K/hour and then also gives quite a few supplies like talon beast charms (which can be counted as about 700 free summon xp) + fiyr corpses for cremation (not sure how fast prayer xp they give, but then again, they offer an alternative to house altering bones). Some rewards which are non trivial (shortcuts, xp boosts, teleports, better friends). Though if this gets too popular I expect snakeskin to drop (and hence the hourly profit to drop too). On topic: I wonder what the "best friend" would be: Easy friend from burgh de-rott to patrodomus deals massive dmg - and tanks better than I do. (1 tick faster than normal whip, wielding full bandos + ddefender). However he only yields "yellow" rewards. (So bad hourly profit). Going on a hard route 2/3rd of the time (with a med route for the other times) with a "difficult" friend will always yield a red-reward. A red reward (on herbs) seems to give snap dragons, lantadyme, dwarf weed or torstol. Each with equal chance. Also the number (range 2-7) seem to be equally distributed. So on average you get 1 snap, lantadyme dwarf weed and torstol a trip.

If you consider something else more fun: do that else and don't bother with temple trekking at all? As I said I see this as a good update BECAUSE it offers NO better way.

At least the time is spent usefull! - keep it coming, we need to stop the bots in their tracks.

The main problem is the message they are sending out now: as I said the bots have the biggest benefit from this (as a bot owner is more likely to start many accounts so to have lots of boosts/lv 30 asap boosts)

bots?

Hey with the new update I guess the top people will need new persons to play, so they get the xp boost? Well I'll be up to creating a few pures, so for only 3,- I'll start a new account as a top player's "friend".

You totally overlooked the applications of the unlimited druid pouch, the two new shortcuts and burgh de rott teleport. Plus the valuable rewards at the end of each trek eg hard tokens given torstols a fair bit. And its just downright boring so see yet more it's not game-breaking awesomely epic stuff that is the best ever therefore its useless drivel. We get it already you people aren't happy to just enjoy FUN stuff and have to nitpick holes in everything as they don't make giant bounds forward in the metagaming world of efficiency; we don;t need to spread you're apathy on to every single update thread. The game is fun, the rewards are useful. Uh -- sure -- the game is "fun". The rewards are useless. You can do better with your time to garner far better rewards and have more fun in other ways. Explain to me: how can you "do better" if you have fun already? The whole idea of "more fun" sounds like an addictive stance: "I must do X and gain Y so I can do Z for more fun" - not realising after Y there will be a bigger mountain to tackle. In a game like this you should always have fun at any point in time. And for me this is fun, as the game "updates" fast enough to never become repetitive, your friends level insanelly fast, there are lots of options + lots of different rewards, and much content to try. It's not all about getting better, faster and more profitable: for me a good update would be something that provides similar things to already existing content, but in more varied ways. So runescape doesn't become a linear game where a well known path is the only acceptable route.

Anybody just noticed how much jagex is endorsing "bots" with this? Bots can (for obvious reasons) have infinite "invites": they simply invite a new bot to the game. So bots will now have a permanent +10% xp boost, and an initial very fast lv 30 in the skills they wish to bot for money. Did any of the jagex mods realise this when making it? This is a great incentive for anybody to just run a main + a few bots who earn themself back.

Let's make runescape a complete popularism contest shall we? I do think the bonus for "new" members might be sustified: runescape has moved to game you need decent levels to start doing ANYTHING. However with boosts to the original player it became a complete poplarity contest: those with most "friends" (not the quotations, many people think aquantances through facebook are friends) will get most boosts, and hence have a certain higher xp rate. This will effectivelly be the same as allowing micro transactions.

Well I miss the old interface of the "map" - where you could actually see your progress (and certain events only happen at certain positions). - Now I had 2 mor'tons in a row. Also the new event where you have to extinguish a fire gets boring really fast.

Why is it that people suddenly love this minigame? Yet non did it before? Not THAT much has changed - the minigame is still in essence the same as previously - and only levelling (+ rewards from levelling) are added.

dragons? ashes? Rune/addy items (when slaying on lunars)? Starting with a full inventory? Banking those without a yak is doing it wrong. Virtually no task requires a full inventoory to complete without banking. Why is it "wrong" - really I see no reasoning behind this.. Consider that even what you seem to think is "bad" money can be good for others: Not everyone has days to play this game and find a team to bosshunt or gain levels up to do tds.
