This is rather hilarious. It would be very incompetent to give F2P better xp rates because they have less skills for challenge doors. Don't worry mate, I forgive ignorance.

I guess Evil_ Eye's point is that nothing aside from the Frost dragon brings something new to the game (minus Dungeoneering). These new places are very nice for the gameplay and the overcrowding of some places but it's still more of the same. I can relate to that, but I'm very pleased by those additions as well as the one-time rewards of discovering these places.

I thought the black demons were "still" in the chaos tunnel?

Wow at the new hellhounds area... Very nice for those camping steel and iron drags in brimhaven, they can finally put those bars to use. I was hoping for a new area with agressive aberrant specters though... better luck next time.

I never thought I'd be so accurate on my assumptions...

I have always been a player that looked forward to the lifting of the 99 cap. I wish to see what would happen to the current bosses with higher level players. I also think the cap should be lifted gradually, for example, 1 lvl per month for 21 months. That would give plenty of time for those who want to keep up with the highest lvls to make it to the next month. Of course, in the last months, that challenge would be harder and those who already have the XP would have a timing advantage over the others. I expect Jagex to fill the current skills, fix the "HP" problem in PVP and release some new harder bosses to tease us before lifting the cap. The worst thing they could do would be to lift the cap all the way to 120 in one go without warning. PVP would be so messed up and knowing the whinny nature of pkers (yeah flame bait), countless players would quit on the spot. To Jagex I say: bring it on!

it happened everytime Jagex released a new skill. Nothing we can do about that at least until batch 2...

does it justify botting?

@ Ring Interesting solutions.... but more fun ways to train will not stop botters to gatter pure ess. Pure ess mining is only to make cash, not to train mining. Greed and laziness are the motivation for botting.

Or maybe i have a massive cashpile and im waiting on getting them all to 99 in one go :) and I dont bot, but i dont hate people that do either. They dont HURT my gameplay and infact they will BENEFIT me when i work on all my production skills at once :) have a nice day No you don'T understand, my opinions are now truth and nothing you say have any effect. You fear that people ranting against bot will make Jagex be harsher on macros and you will end up perma-ban. There I go, another baseless assumption. Have a nice botter's day. As to your statement saying bots don't have an effect on your gameplay, wait till you start slaying pure-ess droppers and you'll get undervalued drops.

@Ring World I'm just gonna throw it out there and assume you botted your 99 WC and cooking and run a CC of manipulators without proof and make a fool of myself because I consider the assumptions I make to be the truth. I will also assume you are a bad merchanter because you have bad expensive skills stats.

Bots are causing inflation mate.... what do you think happens to drangonhide once it's tanned and crafted? What about yews? Bots are causing inflation and driving prices down on some items.

YES. I know there is still some business for runescape gold selling, but I can guarantee that most of the botters now are just for self gain. Botters are helping you. I'm not saying you should bot, I'm just saying that you should understand that in the long run, they're helping you and I wouldn't report them.. Please explain how botters are helping me enjoy the game when I have to fight them over chins, falconry, green drags...etc? Don't tell me to go monster hunting to gain cash, I know how to gain cash. If I like training at bots infested areas, it's my problem and it pisses me off somewhat that these bots are allowed and even glorified by a lot more tip.iters than 2-3-4 years ago.

On a world with around 1000 players, you can easily find 100-150 bots running around the various bot infested areas... That gives a 15% population actively botting. Relating this to Tip.It, it means roughly 1 poster out of 7 is a botter/cheater. It's fair to assume that a couple posters on this thread are using bots from simple probability. I'm not gonna point the finger at anyone, but I'm fairly sure that Tip.It harbors some cheaters. We've had some fairly known cheaters in the past and nothing indicates the situation is better these days... far from it.

Haha, welcome to 2008. :P The 20k with 99 attack made me laugh a little too. Good times, good times. wrong mate! unless you plan on quitting in the next 6 months... That post your replying to was made 4 years ago. ;) Yes I know.

lol most of us wait until after school or work to go on wanna-be mod adventures. Judging by the amount of 99's you have and your dedication to hunting bots while your not leveling, I would say you probably play a bit too often and feel bots are bad because it degrades your "acheivements". Of course i could be wrong... but if im right then people like you are what disgust me about elite runescape players Nah I hunted bots for an hour because I happened to go to varrock and saw those dozens of white dots running around and wanted to mess up with them a bit. I had my fun and that's all that matters to me. I hate bots because they happen to be in my way when I train some skills. I can also make some assumtions about you, but I won't stoop to that level.

wrong mate! unless you plan on quitting in the next 6 months...

Well I had a blast of fun... and since this is a game... i'll let you figure out by yourself, you seem able enough.

Don't worry mate, your 14 day ban will end soon...

Just spent my lunch hour at varrock catching pure ess botters.... There must have been at least 20-30 running from the shop to the bank, managed to "teleblock-other" nearly 10 and locked some of them in the house northwest of the shop. Pure essence runners are hurting me everytime I kill a monster that drops pure essence. Jagex should make a clear statement on botting once and for all. If they can't catch macroers or think that it's not that bad anymore, they should do it publicly and it could level the playing field. Now everyone could bot freely and this game of cat and mouse would be over. I'm all for new randoms and harsher punishments if it helps get rid of bots.

@ Omali Very good use of those lines. Perfect analogy.

Zarfot has reach the 2B mark yesterday, becoming the 4th player to do so. Chances are great that Drumgun will enter that club before summer ends.

I feel like Aasiwat has always been kind of unnoticed. He's rank 1 right now and no one really knows. Probably better for him, though. He's just playing at a steady "normal" pace if you compare him to the more hardcore top players. He has slayer very advanced, which means summoning is also undervalued. He's still has some quick expensive skills to tackle also.

Whatever Gertjaars did or not, he held rank #1 for a pretty long time and had the biggest lead ever on rank#2. Also, people are dismissing Aasiwat too much. I don't see him losing rank #1 for the next 4-5 months at least.

in fact, he went from 30M xp to 200M in under 10 days. It's been discussed in the 200M xp in all skills thread.
