so yeah, maybe they hock their loot for money but i don't see how it plays into them condemning a game if they jump right into the filth with Jagex and exploit the players themselves, while still declaring the game to be bad, but not saying a word to their many customers how bad it is while they help them trade away their money for goods in this apparently awful game but maybe it makes total sense or something just grin and keep giving your money to the devil in the party hat rather than the one hiding behind jagex because their cause of self profit is more just than the other man's cause for self profit in this case i'd use the analogy of the revolutionary who ends up seeking power for themselves rather than do anything about the problem he's clearly chosen money over the people so he can confide with the money instead of us

sadly, if you aren't in a clan with a citadel theatre, you can't just go up there, set it to green screen, and edit the green out of the picture afterwards

i'm glad they gave us new stone bowls to carve because we wouldn't have been able to hold all of these delicious tears in the old ones

i predict it'll be somewhere in between good and bad, and if it isn't, they'll quickly rectify that issue in either direction by any means necessary and if they don't do it immediately they will do it several years later after which by that time it will be a pointless gesture

the groin kicks make you appreciate the nice stuff more.

The staff is like the shark fists. It's to ensure that whoever's getting the item will have something that is useful to them until they're a high enough level that they're fine with it being a vanity item.

Somewhere in between. It's possible they could work in the old lore about rediscovering the rune altars into the new quest and have those events be in the past, like what they did to Romeo and Juliet when they kicked them out of the Varrock estate. Which is somewhat true because between the advancing of the year to 170 and runecrafting's discovery actually being in the past of this game's history, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch.

if this quest is crazier than the last one, i might need to max some levels later

now, this isn't a promise or anything, but a little birdie with a gold crown keeps winking at me whenever i bring up merging the loyalty system with solomons store

well yeah, trying to charge an unaligned black hunk of glass doesn't work when it can't remember what it used to be

I decided the survey was valid on the basis that anybody who doesn't do the survey has no right to voice their concerns when they haven't actually tried it in a structured situation (and even then it's still not enough to demonstrate the important parts, so it places the situation in favor of the negativity to begin with), so if anybody has any objections to the survey itself (as opposed to objections to how Jagex uses the results) then I do not believe it is worth discussing to the point of splitting hairs. Most of the people I have talked to about their quitting of the game and declaring Runescape's death have not really come up with strong reasons when pressed for details, and I feel that it is within my right to dismiss their claims if they do not have anything to support their opinion, if they wish to be considered representative of part the player base. From what I see of Runescape Classic statistics, dislike of change is not enough to warrant halting it completely.

btw, since the depleted amulets stack, it's not as if they remember what they were before being depleted, and it's not really going to happen

I suppose it's really just the sentiment that we don't need to hear you quitting if there is nothing you have to say besides the fact that you're quitting, unless people are going to start a "ruined forever" club and need to tell each other where they're going to meet up. Wasn't there a subforum for that? Perhaps you just want people to try to convince you to not quit, either so you can grudgingly give in, or show how stalwart you are in your decision to quit by continuing to respond. Maybe we shouldn't say anything at all.

they said they were making dom gloves....gloves again

The zamorak part is sort of a lie since it only binds.

it's the same reason why small to medium caliber bullets arent effective on kevlar, but a knife will go right through it as it is now easier to train any particular combat skill on a target that is weak against it, being required to pick a particular strategy is not as heinous a requirement as it was back when our choices on the matter were limited (crush weapons below chaotic maul/goliaths are pretty much a joke right now) and pointless when anything taken to the extreme worked regardless of the context

@decebal: your wording is loaded, but at least the intention is still there and i appreciate it i don't want to really dig deeper than that though, because at that point it would be like inviting m c escher to give a few pointers on architectural design

remember kids, look at the tactical screen (where the styles tab was) and use t to scope your target before making a move also, take note of what kind of attacks they are using

as it is right now i think that correlation does not imply causation

I think the economic impact thing for instances could be a falsehood when you consider how much profit being made selling dg runs in an instanced area just because somebody meets the requirements for an area doesn't necessarily mean that they want to go even without the crowding the larger concern is the panic ready economy which is willing to believe anything on the slightest pretense if it appeals to their gut sense

wait, you're blaming jagex for putting die in the game when it was intended as a simple tool? meanwhile, gambling groups latch onto any randomized element in the game as a staging device and were the key instigators of the phenomenon and you're still here blaming jagex for the die

you could say the same about zaryte bows lol (they're not bad but damn the cost)

i think the real answer takes longer, is harder to implement smoothly, and does not improve the situation until it is fully implemented

i'm not so sure that jagex draws the same conclusions publicly and internally

well, not everybody loves it, and not everybody hates it i think the same could be said of the older system where do we go from here
