Unless you saw who dropped it or the money was in an envelope cash really really doesnt have an owner...anyone can just claim "i lost 10 dollars" so its harder. Its different with things like notebooks , wallets, bookbags, keys ect.. or if you know who or had an idea of who lost it then you should have alot of guilt taking it....with the "quickly jumped up to run over and snatch it" kinda looks bad on your part and sounds more than just "finding" like if you were walking in the hallway .

Now the usefulness of things that can be learned from a video game/MMORPG is another topic, and a rather interesting one at that. :^_^: Exactly usually its not "quitting scape" that will solve all your problems but finding out what your problem is irl. I think no one is addicted to scape itself its just hard to jump into other things (especially if something like anxiety is keeping u from it) Yea in the longterm rs wont matter at all :P but skills can help you later even though harder to learn/do for long periods of time.

yea cant really measure addiction by timeplayed - i never was very social - however w/o school or work i play a toooooooooooon im going back to school and doubt i'd really play much at all..I think i was addicted when getting 120 dg but then it just became skillin consistantly w/o really caring and logging whenever to go out with my family - ect. Thier are hobbies that are more interesting than scape but its not always good to force yourself to do a hobby (tho if you feel like reading you should read or if you wanna draw or do hobbies like music/sports should do that too. Also study and homework should go before scape not at the same time.. 3hrs of homework 1hr of scape beats out 4hours of scape/homework in terms of overall stuff getting done usually probably

jojo returns got 2376 pre effigy 155 days but he had prev exp dg takes longer tho yea but yea its impressive for real and ingametime as jojoreturns relied on merching i think he took 3 real years which is sorta avg. but i think thiers some people that have maxed quicker than 400 days real time.

lol

This stuff is pretty commonplace in high school and college. A lot of people would justify cheating on small homework assignments as "they don't have time" and have to work on other classes - lower chance of being caught and still get that tiny percentage of grades. A lot of people get stressed out over papers/research projects but most know the consequences of blunt cheating/not citing sources as cheating on a research paper worth a large percent of the grade will definitely let u get kicked out.. In that group project example the others were being unethical too in letting the others do the work for the full grade (i think this third situation is one im most least ethical in- often times I don't feel as smart as others in group and they end up leading the group and giving me a small part of the work so I just accept it especially if the grading scale is the same for all of the group.) but then again if I'm in a group project where the other people are not as smart or hard worker as me then I can lead the group to a decent project so I see it as "give some take some". The people that cheat on small homework that actually need it will fail themselves in exam time and those that don't could have probably done the assignment quick anyway. For big papers though if you don't get caught then the good grade was definitely gotten unfairly when others put in effort. It also looks bad on the institution if cheating for big grades is possible which is why students at least Fail the assignment because if a student can cheat the way through college then in the job world employers may not trust degrees from that institution. Another example I read about is "grazing"- eating stuff in supermarkets without paying costing supermarkets 200m a year or something. People eat food in the supermarkets and cleverly dispose of the wrappers and then proceed with their shopping - isn't this the same as shoplifting - YES. But since its only 1 dollar here 2 dollars there people that do that don't really care. But they knew if they got caught shoplifting that amount they would at least get a warning. And they cause littering in the store - more trash ect.....But these people wouldn't go steal a television just want a "snack". I read this after watching a what would you do sketch on grazing. People would yell at you for 10 strawberries but not 1-2 strawberries-but if everyone took 1-2 strawberries or everyone stole a bannana or plum then the store would have none in stock lol.... In runescape it applies to botting and real world trading the large scale/small scale thing I really have sympathy for the person that botted livid farm for 2 nights and lost 350million expirience including 50million construction experience....I searched them and it really was just that one time. But then there are people that keep on botting and bot most of there accounts which i think they should be perm banned...And selling cash alot of people would say "well if you dont have a job irl have to make money in however u can" so alot of people dont yell at sellers of cash especcially if its big amounts that would really make a difference in real life....even though they complain about bots which they support lol and alot bot to support themselves in real life so its like a real life verse game thing. also what about methods like dicing in scape that give alot of money for little effort? is it cheatin to do that over forcing self to grind? where does those questions end

2m /hr but can use effiigies on con/herb/farm ect =P but maybe he could zmi after getting charms depending

construction was my last 99 not counting dg i got 94-99 in not too many hrs and purposely saved it for last cuz it was fast bad things about construction is its not afk but good things is that its fast but thiers lots of fast skills so most people that do construction do it because they like buyable skills or just to max out

200k xp on trees daily (2 magic runs, 1 palm run, 1 calquat run), 14k xp on herbs (including HH) every 90 minutes for 18 hours = 368k farm xp per day, or 508 days to 200m xp from 99 farm. Each magic+palm+calquat run takes 7 minutes, a magic-only run takes 4 minutes, and a herb run takes 6 minutes. This sums to 85 minutes per day farming. Even if you already have 100m xp in all skills but farming, 200m farm is achievable (from 99) before maxing everything out. In the 508 days it takes to get 187m farming xp, to get from 100m to 200m xp in all other skills, you must average 196k xp in every skill daily: 270 mins (4.5 hrs) slaying (196k slay xp, assume at least equivalent combat xp from slay+crawlers) - See effigy analysis below 110 mins (1.8 hrs) hours of runecrafting via cave crawlers - See below [hide=Effigy analysis] Assume 1.5 effigies per day from slayer and 1.8 from cave crawlers (sum 3.3 effigies). Each grants 12.5k agility, thieving, firemaking, fishing, woodcutting, hunter, mining, and runecraft xp. An additional 48k is granted to runecraft by use of the dragonkin lamp. Xp sums from effigies: 37.1k agility, thieving, fm, fish, wc, hunt, mine, 195.6k runecraft xp [/hide] 85 mins farming (368k farm) 100 mins c2 duo fishing (160k xp + 37.1k from effigies = 197.1k fish) 100 mins splitting pines + effigies (197.1k wc, 28k fm) 120 mins agility with ba horn (includes ba time) + effigies = 197.1k agil 120 mins of mine/superheating (160k mine, 140k smith, 132k magic) + 37k.1 mine from effigies 10 mins smithing addy plates (55k + 140k from above = 195k) 20 mins stringing jewelry (60k + 132k = 192k, assume ~4k from assorted teles/slayer spells) 35 mins thieving ape guards (160k xp + effigies) 20 mins burning magic logs + pine splitting (28k) + effigies = 195k 40 mins of herblore habitat draconics (160k + effigies) = 197k 20 mins of mahogany tables (200k con) 20 mins of wines (200k cook) 18 mins cutting dstones (195k craft) 25 mins dungeoneering (200k dg, obviously not quantifiable daily as such) 20 mins fletching broad arrows (200k xp if perfect) 22 mins making overloads/overload ingreds (195k) 13 mins using frost bones with gilded altar (195k) 8 mins per day of summoning (195k, rough) Sum: 1176 minutes, or 19.6 hours per day for 100m xp in all stats and 187m farming xp woahhhhhhh lol ima use effigy combo on fish then

EMOTES!!! tho a trailer like tat makes the gameseem aimed more as kids.

effigies have been out over a year they cant really just nerf em...u know but they nerfed pc b4 so anythings possible however thier are times where u go 30task+ w/o any effigies and times where u get 2 effigies then the next task get an effigy then the next task get an effigy it is kinda crazy how a day of slayer can equal half a day of runecraft an hr of agility/mining and 30 mins of wc + lots of buyable exp for me =P

Yeah lol I've been noticing ever since I first read that post (discovered this thread when it was at about 50 pages and read through them all) and unlike most posts, its significance only increases over time rather than decreases. One ofthe main reasons that post is so accurate is because it does objectively look at someones pshycological aspects /realistic aspects of 200m all...Alot of people just play alot but dont plan on doing so for years. The main thing to seperate players ingame in terms of total time ingame is probably money making/afking but revans post basically showed a long time ago who would quit and who would keep going w/o burning out.

nope he only wanted 187m thief and he told me he was sick of thieving so opened em he had those effigies from ages ago =)

That's just a limitation of trade. A perfect item is one that noone else merchants, has as high as possible profit cut and is traded in as high quantity as possible. Usually items with high cut have low trade and vice versa, so it's highly down to the item you choose to merchant. When you are doing bankstanding skills it's easier to manage high trade items, while low trade items are preferable for a more relaxed merchanting strategies(food/runes would be an example of high trade and partyhats as low trade items). its not as standard as b4 "buy 10 of an item wait 4hrs sell back for 1-2% profit" it takes more effort and yea sometimes flipping for awhile they stop having the same margin and even end up becoming too low of a margin to be worth it...however swiching items/trying new items helps... its definatly more profitable per 4hours with smaller cashpiles items like whips that were excelent b4 are horrible now =P

its an agil course because if its not i owe jd 1m so shhhh

rocktails are cheaper too =P but yea its not all about most exp/ingametime....especcially works for things like reading online/movie watching/passive things....harder to multitask schoolwork but can be done =P

Comp cape might encourage shorter easier quest for people wanting to get cape back asap - i think they stopped with long list of items for quest about over a year ago... i kinda like it that way- the objective thing now shows the reward+ items needed sorta like every other mmo sorta.....but atleast it will prevent "omfg i got this far and need 3 iron bars and some logs??"

Tryin to go full speed all the time is just asking for trouble

hmm smith thing is interesting... fish/farm i go between...i hate farming lol....so 30k farm is like 30/what 200k a day? so i think of it in terms of daily exp :P

gratz suomi why u so pro =)

The few times I've tried this, they were just as full as English worlds. bleh. guess its resource then its prob the same speed as ct with bots or faster but cant use urns if u wanna bring enough pray pots + less afk =P gratz to tg =p

slay ftw lol =p

people are going to do what people do, why try to troll? I'm not even trolling, I genuinely feel sorry for them. I use to be addicted to runescape so I know what they're going through, trust me in 5-10 years most of these people will look back and wonder what the hell they were thinking, I wasted 320 days on this game and even that is depressing. This thread is just encouraging them even more, because you're giving them what they ultimately want. Unfortunately a lot of people in the world today could care less about others, thus they hate the "no life" posts and will deem them automatically as trolls. yea this thread is probably one of the only places where people get praised and praised for every single little achievmenet in scape lol. Most of the time its only big achievmenets that are celebrated. Anyway its ok to play scape but its also ok not to play scape and ur achievments dont go away or get deleted even if you go inactive for months.

or tired people that fall for phishes on tipit or ect... tho they usually do a good job of taking them down immidiately people make sites that look exactly like the rs site.........and people accidently put thier pass inthem:P edit:i never got hacked but almost fell for one of those pHish and seen plenty of links to a fake rs site here on tipit so im sure they are at other places where they dont get taken down quick

looking at tht chart around 2-2.2m exp is what u need to get per day to be completely even in ranks - however i think this is gunna change as time goes on..... its almost 1 year of effigy also....all the people that slayed hardcore during that timeframe got way more exp than the rest edit:to post below - tezz has it and suomi/allar are over 100m with elias nintendoswe kingduffy 80m+ paperbag inactive and has lowest slay of the bunch i think and jd has 37m but doesnt like slayer that much :P im still unsure whether they are best used on slayer itself or rc.......but seeing all these big exp gains makes me think rc again altho it leaves less cb exp for effigy camping later :P.....
