Skill-wise, Zezima, Lilyuffie, The old Nite, Uloveme, Yogoson, N0valyfe were there for a long time for the last 5 years. Lately, add Getjarrs and Kingduffy to that fame list. Community-wise, I Mahatma I for his vids, Durial for his rampage and lately Zarfot for his guides are up there. Add in 3_Hit_You for his self-proclamation of famous pker (can't judge that really as I never pk'ed much, but the name certainly had a following that can't be denied). Famous RSers on these boards included Empror1 (first 200mil xp FMer if I'm correct), TheHate (has been in the top 50 constantly for the last 5 years), S1acker (one of the first to achieve 85 slayer and posted a bank after one month of abyssal camping when whips were ranging from 10 mil to 50 mil - made quite a commotion).

That would be a pretty good idea and I hope this gets implemented one day, wether it's a follow-up to the fight caves or a mega boss requiring killing lots of lower monsters to attain.

Every population has its morons, that's simple statistics and if you compare the real-world population to the population of an internet game aimed for, let's say teens (whatever Jagex say about being aimed for young adults and lots of contents aimed at relatively young kids, the majority of people playing it probably haven't graduated from high school), you'll find a majority of players will less life experience and judgement than someone like you Compfreak. The ignorance and self-importance of youth translate into stupid behaviors and half-thought statements. Writing on an internet forums also provides anonymity so looking stupid here is not so bad and won't crush your carreer or reputation at school. I feel alright being in the top 10% percentile QI-wise and accept that less intelligent people will have less intelligent reactions.

mostly a clicker noob

"accidentally".... yeah right, Here's to you learning from your mistakes!

People will advise to gather charms through slayer as you are basically training combat, slayer and summoning all in one activity. Therefore maximazing your time in-game focusing on various skills instead of powerleveling one skill after another. Slayer is not the fastest way to level both combat and summoning, but it is the most balanced way (and thus faster way) to achieve 99 in all these skills. See smobo's post for another relatively similar explanation. If your only concern is to raise summoning as fast as possible... don't do slayer and focus on crimson-dropping monsters (waterfiends, rock lobsters, cockroaches... and various slayer related monsters).

Read somewhere that using supercompost will results in 7 in 8 tries to be successful. The suggestion to use my arm's patch for high value herb is a very sound one and it's what I've been doing ever since it was introduced. There's no way to garantee 100% health on herbs besides staying close to the patch and checking it yourself.

It's a matter of point of view mostly. I like the game as it is now and I don't need groundbreaking updates to keep me interested in the game. Any improvement from this point on is a good update in my perspective. What you also have to realise is that you can't get all you want at every update and will most likely don't care for about 20% of all updates.

Any update that makes the gameplay better is good. The deposit-all will improve our xp rates and more red chins spawn will mean less competition and better hunting rates. I know people have great expectations for any update, but in my opinion, any update that upgrades the way we play is a good update. Great job mysterious old men at Jagex.

Agreed with all those that say everyone will benefit from this update even those who already are 99 in the skill. I'm also sick of people moaning about changes in the game. The game evolves and unless you have 200 mil xp in a skill, no changes can screw your xp rates. It does not cheapen the skill, it makes it more user-friendly and slightly easier...which is good for everyone. What I see changing is the use of a fruit bat or magpie or even ent during farming tours instead of beasts of burden. Added cash or experience and a better gameplay.

I'm fairly sure you get experience with emotes because when you do the same emote twice it says: you already received experience for doing that emote... I'll verify this when I do my circus tonight though. Anyway you should get around 6k agility, 12k ranged and 22k magic. If you get less, it's probably because your skills are low (BTW i'm only 68 agility, but max ranged and fairly high mage).

don't forget to do your 10 emotes per skill too. What some people told me in regard to the same question I asked is to do every level (from 10 to 99) without doing the same twice even if you miss and doing the 10 emotes will give you maximum exp.

For me it would be the inferno adze. Training firemaking while woodcutting and studying would be pretty sweet as I hate clicking fires. The quest cape would be a close second. As for future items... dragon defender , just imagine that attack boost and added str bonus...

I have to say that I agree with all of this, except I can't proclaim with 100% confidence that a majority of mods have this attitude, hence why I don't support the claim (not saying it's impossible or improbable). At first, I thought you were kinda ranting on the modship process, but I realise that you are mostly ranting on the motivation of getting modship status for the sake of having the status and proving it with a crown. I have to agree that from that point of view, all mods or mods wannabe are reporting for the wrong reasons. This can be applied to real life with politicians - getting into politics for the fame, publicity and big job as chairman when you retire from politics at 50 instead of being a politician for public service. It's really about personality, I have 99 slayer and it's considered one of the 5 most desired cape in-game..I bought it one month after getting 99 slayer and it sleeps in my bank because i'd much rather train combat with fire cape than a show-off cape. I also didn't bother with the ranging cape as it just uses space in my bank. If I were to be a mod, I'm pretty sure I'd be the exception in your point of view of modship. My part in this debate is over, glad this was civilised and well written by the majority of posters.

If you start over, you will have to do 5 tasks in a row to get more points while you only have to continue your streak to keep on gaining more points at every 10 tasks and multiples of 50 gaining you extra points. I'm well on my way to 150th consecultive duradel task, getting me a whole bunch of death runes in the meantime!

most likely works for all fruit trees as well since the lprechaun noted my curry leaves... It will be a great update for all the powerfarmers... Faster allotment farming will make it more used especially for those who have the means to powertrain. I can see the cheap farmers doing tomatoes, cabages and sweetcorn a lot more with this update. Making uncooked sweetcorn more available for payments on the market. There is no cons about this particular update. Very nice work Jagex.

So does that mean you now have to screw yourself?

They forage strawberry and watermelon seeds. It was in response to lady ninane suggesting the price of seeds would go up. It might for a while, but I see them stabilise at their current price pretty soon.

making thieving seeds more profitable and fruit bats more profitable... added incentive to gather seeds.

It just makes farming a bit easier. This is not a revolutionnary feature that would separate the 99 farmers before and after like some skills got. I will certainly use them more especially since I got 69 summon lately and use my fruit bat a lot to gather strawberry and watermelon seeds. Appreciated, but not game-breaking. pretty nice updates so far this year, making lots of minor improvements to the gameplay.

You are at an age where what the world thinks about you is pretty important. Once you get older, you realise that what you think about yourself is more important. If you don't want to project the image of a person playing RS, then lie about it. If you can live with what people think about you, then face the hate-storm and tell the truth.

OMG I'VE WANTED THIS FOREVER. If only I still played damnit. Good stuff always comes when it's unneccesary. I don't care if this guy doesn't play anymore, this is good stuff and this is still necessary.

You pay to play a "competitive" MMO. You must be prepared to face competition in-game. I wouldn't call this a fraud on Jagex part from that point of view. It's like saying I went to a karting race and there were people in my way, the company that sold me my ride is engaging in a fraud... As to the original topic : maybe because they are (choose from a combination in the list ahead) : stupid, lazy, un-informed, un-efficient, new to the game or ignorant.

Just want to point out that I asked you what is the process of gaining modship and you told me to get the trust of a mod so he could tell me... Basically you are debating this specific point with "inside" information that you have not told us and we must take your word for it that the process is flawed... I admit that I was mostly playing the devil's advocate when debating with you, because I like debating for the sake of it. I have no doubt that there are a lot of people out there who are in it for the status, this is what drives some people in real life and it translate into the game. My main point is that you are just overexagerating the reality a bit. Ohh and also that I can't support your claim because from my point if view and personnal experience, I never had much trouble with oversized ego mods. Meaning I can't support it but I have no problem believing this could be the reality. Could you please either answer my question concerning the process either is this thread...or in PM. I genuinely want to know for my personnal knowledge what is the process (and how it can be abused obviously).

Same for me, always on the lookout for jekyll when I am (was) near a bank to retrieve a cadantine... Why did noone ever tell me this? :wall: don't feel bad... everytime I used to see a jekyll appear near a bank, I would tell the player to give him a cadantine and mostly got told to mind my own business... Some people like their confort zone too much to accept advices...
