Why can't F2P have...?
I agree that the combat triangle should be balanced, but the combat system in P2P is simply better because of all the added features (special attacks, spellbook, prayer replenishment...etc). F2P is supposed to attract players to P2P, the same way a demo or trial game works. The only difference is that F2P has so much content compared to the usual demo that someone can play his entire life. To be honest, aside from a balanced combat triangle, F2P have a perfectly fair game, very well worth the ads F2Pers have to watch.

Runecrafting Vs. Slayer [The Harder 99]
You can die when RCing too (abyss and ZMI). I don't know how going to different places or having different equipment makes it harder.

There's really not much that's keeping you from doing these.

No Update Week
Another well written and not whinny at all post by M. Libs. I guess a no update week is not so bad. How long will you keep paying this company for quests and minigames you don't like anymore?

what is wrong with the f2p community?
Ohhh I'm not in disagreement with you on this subject! But I'll just reply with this part of your post: Taken to an extreme, I could say I did. Ever saw 2 males lion having a go at each other for the tribes leadership? It could be argued that the dominant one is imposing his "beliefs" that his genes are superior and better for the tribe... Lol, just throwing a brick in your theory, not to be taken too seriously and not worth replying to ( don't want to take this topic too off-topic)

Should F2P get skill capes?
From some comments seen on that thread, you'd think it is the main argument. I personnaly think they should have the silly capes, just not with the full P2P equipment bonus. Anything between a normal cape and the legends cape would be fine.

Stealing Kills/Drops/Training/Time
They are not breaking rules, deal with them by either trying to beat them or find another world. I know when someone comes to my training spot for slayer and tries to get "my" spawns, I usually end up half killing all I can and wait for the person to leave on their own. Works wonder at high profile monsters such as abyssal demons. The same applies at kalphites with cannon, i usually put it to scare other slayers away and pick it up when everyone's gone. It's all about tactics.

cut the crap and remove pricing limits
RWT. :roll: Undoing all the hard work Jagex has put in to stop RWT with such an update? [] Because you could so easily put a Party hat in GE for 1gp and have nobody but your customer get it? Oh no, wait, you couldn't. Without the cap, you could put an item that nobody trades for 500mil and the other RWTer would buy it. Why people are always assming you can only RWT with phats and rares?

@ Mauranius, I agree with your post, but your last sentence can be used as an incentive to put public chat to off (in both F2P and P2P).

Should F2P get skill capes?
It's not harder.... but it's definitely less efficient. Like countless others have said, if I get 99 cooking with shrimps all the way, do I deserve a cape more than someone who cooked sharks? We obviously have more content because we are willing to pay for more.

Once a great game. A story/Rant for veteran players.
I agree witht he last sentence. The rest is just a matter of opinion and mine is the total opposite of yours. Life now is simple, I can make money with skills and combat is friendly. About the little kids pulling out massive awesome weapons... I agree the weapons have evolved, thank god I don't have to train with a d long. Either way, it really doesn't matter if it's a 12 years old who killl you and call you noob compared to a 43 years old woman who kill you and call you noob. The grand exchange really made me like RS, no more wasted time logging in world 2 to shout selling rune full helm 25K for an hour. Yes prices can be manipulated, but to me it's just a bump in the road, they always adjust in time. Just don't buy foolishly and wait for the drop.

*NEW* Player Behavior Rants (No Naming Names)
The longer you play, the more noobs you meet. The private "off" or "friends" is nice in some instances.

Drop totals are always fun to see. Keep on killing these drags!

very nice stats

Only noobs or charitable players would sell their armors lower than the alch price...

d claws vs. godswords
As a slayer, SGS owns. So from a slayer's point of view, the GS would be better.

Should F2P get skill capes?
I'm not sure the equipment bonus is needed if it were to become F2P. It's purpose is to show off your achivement: getting 99 in a skill. I agree on that except it should have at the very least the basic cape stats ( +1, +2 I think).
-
Should F2P get skill capes?
I'm still not convinced that F2P should get skill capes with the full equipment bonus that we have now on P2P. Anything equal or over legends cape would undermine that quest achievement in my opinion. @ ibxtoycat Members already have many advantages over F2Pers, why would it shock you that in this particular case, they still have better training methods?

Once a great game. A story/Rant for veteran players.
@ allisgreat I just have to post something here to put things into perspective... Would you listen to a friend if he kept on giving you bad advices? When the trade limits were removed and the wildy changed (please stop using the expression "removing of the wilderness"), there were lots of angry players giving bad advices to Jagex. And from what I can understand in Jagex view, any advice that could lead to RWT was a bad advice. I agree that Jagex has been bad with bugs on update day so far and that even though they think they finally have the perfect system, players always seem to find a way to abuse it. I would like to hear those ideas that would have kept the old style pking and staking without RWT.

Some 'blogger' parent thinks RS makes kids fat
RWT!!! So let me get this straight... You wrote that fake article to make fun of over protective parents by showing an extreme and ignorant behavior that is probably present in less than 5% of the population, than proceeded to to show that article to the people being put in a "weird" light in that article, the teen gamers to see how they would react to this extreme and ignorant analysis, all the while making fun of both sides...? I must say, hats off! Nice experiment, you just made a Borat.

Runecrafting Vs. Slayer [The Harder 99]
I agree with your post except RC is better xp per hour than slayer (even with cannon). Well said, though getting 200 mil XP in RC with today's trade limits will probably not happen until the next 2-3 years.

what is wrong with the f2p community?
Noob calling has been around ever since this game was created. This is nothing new, this is not showing any trend whatsoever, your analysis is pretty shortsighted and if getting called a noob is setting you off enough that you have to come here to rant, take some time off the net. There should be a sticky in the rants forum for all these "people insulting me over the net" threads. Can a mod create this so all the insecure players have a place to meet and rant while the top of the rants forum gets filled with legitimate discussion-worthy rants? EDIT: this should be moved to the behavior sticky. AS should the dozen or so threads like this that pop up weekly.

Some 'blogger' parent thinks RS makes kids fat
Very funny topic. That chat dialog between Zez ans eliane is probably true.. he used to stalk her in my previous clan chat 2-3 years ago after they broke up. All in all, not much discussion value in that. It's like saying people will go in nuclear reactors because they saw Homer Simpson doing it.
