We are not talking about cheating in general. We are talking about cheating by top players who are immersed into this mindless race. That is a unique case. Also, I am discussing mainly RS, which is also a unique case for its excessive grinding and efficiency culture. The situation at the top of the hiscores is entirely Jagex's fault, they are the ones who encourage it. It certainly wasn't always this way, and is only a few years old, and largely of their own doing. Also, it's been proven time and time again that human beings are social creatures, malleable to fault. Our surrounding environment has a tremendous effect on us. The fact that RS players weren't always this way, and now suddenly are, is very telling. And it didn't simply happen because people woke up one day feeling some irresistible urge to get 200M and play 20 hours a day. Are you kidding 'grinding' is a broad base term. People don't just grind in runescape. I've played WoW and they grind hardcore there too. Whether it be for materials or boss instances. Grinding excessively is in no way "unique" to runescape. I"m sorry, you are wrong. ^^^ At the post above: You completely misunderstood me and the relevancy obviously went over your head. The relevancy is that there is misplaced blame on both the cop and the company. It reality its the persons fault for not assessing thier situation.

It is because there was a message on the latest new post at the bottom about it. Disappointing i looks like a reskin of the god armours.

Exactly my point I was going to raise before hitting the damn refresh button and losing my post. You can't just take the easy route and say its the developers fault. That is comparative to explaining to your boss how it was the cops fault you were late for work when you were clearly speeding and didn't get yourself together and leave in a timely manner.

There is no shame in this, and nor I do wish that Jagex cracks them down. Jagex is the only entity responsible for incentivizing this sort of obsessive and unhealthy gameplay, no one else. So I am all for players defying their will and making a mockery out of them in any way possible. They deserve it for catalyzing this disgraceful race and circus. What a joke. That type of mentality is what drives the core of spiteful and graceless players in the runescape community and whats more bothering than that? - That your ilk are the majority of this community. No other gaming community is more volatile than the runescape community. I bet you think that Jagex is responsible for game addiction too?

I'm really liking the new NIS changes, but I'm getting annoyed a hell with the log in/out spam I get. I wish they would fix that. Oh just noticed the clickthrough chatbox is clickthrough on the buttons too lol!

Back on topic please.

Oh alright...

Just found a possible September BTS leak. If you look on the front page side panel where game updates are you'll see a update for the 23rd of August called "Goblin Raids: Taking Down The High Priest." I'm curious to know if this is another one of their scaleable content and elite mob releases they mentioned back in June.

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ktc10/we_are_the_runescape_developers_for_the_new_skill/cbsexmx "A month" isn't the final decision either.

That statement has been corrected afterwards! "You will not be able to gain bonus or lamp XP in the Divination skill until several weeks have passed since its release. When this changes, we'll let you know via the news." Yeah, but that was most likely as a buffer to help prevent people in the community from getting into the horder mentality for bxp items.

The production skill is going to be slower than the gathering skill. Remember that the skills you see now weren't what they were in the beginning. On that note I think if skill 2 followed my scheme it would be much like divination where charges are used up. I would imagine each having 20-50 charges each would be suitable for use and also initial training. Maye even offering a chunk of skill 2 xp for fully using it much like completing laps in agility.

Burn.gif I'm hoping that skill 2 sends us back to each node not just for energy, but memories too. Something like: - Enhanced pickaxe VII Effect: 15% increase in mining speed with adamantite and below. 200 energy 20 memories 5 Adamantite ore - Enhanced pickaxe VII Effect: 20% increase in mining speed with adamantite and below. 225 energy 20 enriched memories 5 Adamantite ore These examples based off of the discussion of "level my item" and the concept of summoning pouch creation.

168k to 82. I couldn't bare to stay up through to 110k before work so I'm taking a nap. Hopefully 82 in the morning and some RL progress too. Knowing me I will get 82 sometime before work and a little bit of 83. I'm such a slacker... Time for a nap... Zzz

Thanks... Just in time for another small prismatic.

To the best of my knowledge it has not yet been confirmed if pendants obtained before the date that bonus experience is allowed will be usable on Divination. If they're not I'm going to be a very sad man That's like saying pendants won't be usable on dung because its a minigame.

I started messing with a modified retro setup and wonder if anyone likes it? By the way 81 divination... I'm looking to get 82 tomorrow night, but might be a bit hard. I think I'll have to settle for the morning. Logging out with 225k from 82 - That is 4.5 hours my play time. Good chance I'll have to save some for in the morning...

Way too much effort involved and you would be better chalking it up to situational convenience before you found someone who wouls legitimately do this. That goes for "buying xp" on sof... The players you aught to be concerned for are players like me... effigies banked, troll invasion reward book in inventory, prismatic lamps in inventory, near max peng points banked, and tons of pendants and recharge gems banked from over time.

Hey thought you'd like to use this... http://www.leetscape.com/signatures/rank.php

Considering the difference between wisps has been: - Linear increase in xp gain all around as you level - Some level of difficulty in a timely return or stay - checkpoint increases in energy gain at 50 and 75. I think the sparseness of those wisps is a factor they want and are aware of to keep the high end raw material of the skill down. The level 90 area isn't as forgiving either with it being in such a remote location in the desert. You have to use poll scrolls and a carpet to get remotely close on top of always wearing an enchanted tiara to protect against the desert. The poison waste only really need access to a spirit tree so added wandering was probably their go-to to ramp up the inaccessability.

There is a nice ramp up when you hit 80. I'm fairly certain it's the thought of only having 5 levels per tier and increased xp rates that drive this notion.

I will be passed tomorrow then. Congrats!

Love how he says few short hours.. - 12 hours later ahahaa! congratulations on all of your achievements. :) Thanks! One more to my cult following. Your move, Jeremy - :)

What does this mean? There are specific items for players who hit a yearly milestone with uninterrupted subscription.

Honestly I think since sofs release I haven't bought more than 150 spins. Though I have been immediately banking both prismatic and gems since release. Originally I was using some for fashionscaping, but that ended quick. Skill 2 aught to be mighty interesting with so much potential bxp saved up. By the way I'm 135k from 81 div. plan on getting it in the morning while filing my FAFSAA and background check for school. I need to get my ass in gear for school. Can someone please make and post a divination progress skill sig to 99? Also an adventure log sig too? I can't seem to find a decent site for these. I can't stand the horrendous 07scape character graphics on most of them.

Thought I would create a new blog display image:
