While I was hunting, the only real problem I had was with a level 3 skiller. He'd try and lay his traps where I'd lain mine. Luckily, though, he was mostly unsuccessful.
If you're not already using the spot to the far west, you should use it. It's usually not as crowded as the other main spot. With a bit of endurance you'll be able to find an empty world. Otherwise you might have to use one of the worse spots.
Paw Claw's idea is a good one, you should definitely try it. Otherwise the best you can hope for is that they'll leave when you ask.

Ok so let me get this straight...
You knew the agility requirement, didn't bother training your skill all the way up to that requirement before you began the quest, and now you're complaining...about what? That your skill wasn't high enough? Does that really make sense?
Wow, people being idiots saying "You knew the requirements so it's your fault trying to do it without having them."
Read the dang post! He's not ranting about how he can't do it, you morons! He's ranting about how he's getting told by the messenger that he can do the quest, when he obviously can't!
And he knew that the quest had a 56 agility requirement. So, in short, he's ranting about how he didn't have the sense to NOT start the quest, when he knew he couldn't.

Lol, two jagex puppets immediately proceeded to debunk :P
Anyhow, Runescape has gone downhill. Unlike some people *cough* Jagex puppets *cough* I played since 2002 and yes, it has gone downhill, even with all the updates.
But oh well, if everything was fine we wouldnt have anything to discuss about.
Yes, because having an opinion different to yours means I'm a Jagex puppet :roll:
I've also played since 2002. Can you provide evidence to suggest it has gone downhill? Or can you only sit there a bleat about "Jagex Puppets"?
-
For those of you who been around since 2004 or so, I'm sure you'll all agree that Runescape has down downhill for quite some time now. My question is, what's going on? I mean, people surpassing the age limit? Over 20 people with All 99 Skills? Economy going through the roof?
So would you rather they churn out skill after useless skill just to combat the problem of more people getting all 99's? Or aren't you aware that as time goes by people raise their skills? I would also like to see your proof of the economy "going through the roof"
Runescape has fallen into the dark realm. A while back (sometime in early 2007) I logged onto f2p just to see if any of my friends were still playing, and I couldn't believe how many changes were made for the worse. What use to be melee training in Legends Guild and the Wildy is now easily surpassed by PC, meaning that any fool can go from lvl 40 to lvl 126 within a few weeks. 99 Strength is hardly an accomplishment anymore. If a few hundred people possess it, that's fine. But over 10 thousand? And what the heck is with X Options? It not only made cooking and fletching easier, but it also gave people faster ways to make money.So you complain about f2p, then back it up with member updates? Sure, they can go from 40 to 126 in a few weeks, if they don't plan on eating, sleeping or going to the toilet. Even with PC it takes a couple of months; whilst this may not be desirable, Jagex have tried to combat the problem with their PC update - if they removed it completely, can you imagine the rants and the riots? Like I said before, as time goes on, people raise their skills - it's natural. Or do you just want to make it impossible for anyone to get 99?
X-Options may have made these activities easier, but certainly not faster - there were numerous rants about the string-x update in particular. If anything, it's slowed their moneymaking (I assume you are talking about fletching, as cooking is a loss).
Free-to-play was always the place for 8-10 year old kids to go waste their time begging for money and getting stuff that they didn't earn. But as early as last year I noticed that this was starting to become well apparent in members. What happened Jagex? What happened to your slow but worthful updates? Now it seems that they are throwing players tons of weekly updates that are hardly worth it. Quests use to have a purpose to them, now it's just to gain quest points and get more useless items and go to places that are barren. I remember the party room in Seers Village. Now it's moved to Falador where f2p players can go store useless items into them. People who play in the Wildy have been given items non-tradeable and I think that just destroys the concept of why they are there in the first place.Jagex manages to pull out quality updates most of the time, and for one a week that's damned good. Quests still have a purpose - setting up new storylines and continuing old ones, access to new items, rewards, etc. Oh noes, f2p received an update, it's the end of the world :roll:. You know, it's actually possible to not go to the party room, hard as that may be to comprehend.
Jagex has to balance the integrity of the system with the wants of the players - every time a good item comes out that is freely available to everyone, some [bleep] thinks the new item is too common or some other nonsense. So Jagex made high level rewards untradeable, to protect the integrity of the system. They already tried to rectify this problem with the barrelchest anchor, I think, as instead of the anchor you get ~200k (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
One of the major problems are the newer, younger players. They beg and want updates that are simply "kid friendly" and more easy on the player, rather than going to work to gain a certain lvl or item like how it used to be a few years ago. The trash that has always flooded the f2p worlds are now spilling into the members worlds. Do their parents even watch these kids? I'm 19, and I can't believe how many people who play this are younger than me. In a real MMORPG I would most likely be in the younger age group, but on Runescape I'm as if I'm some old fellow that gripes about anything new. The age limit is a joke. Your supposed to be older than 13, but any little kid knows that he/she can go past that barrier and make an account just to humilate others. I bet over 95 percent of these kids don't bother to read the rules or listen to the NPCs on tutorial island. These newer players either take the game too seriously or are just there to tease others. Finding a real friend is a rarity nowadays. The guy that helps you on quests and go training together at legends guild or being in a clan, while having fun. There's no honesty or intregity, it's all about making a quick buck and trying to become the best, richest player there is.Yep, the new updates have been specifically for the inexperienced kids. Like the Godwars dungeon, any old kid can be really successful in there. And how is striving towards a certain level any different than wanting to "become the best, richest player there is?". Parents can't be watching their kids all the time when they're on the computer. They may have other duties, e.g. cooking, cleaning, etc. - and the parents should be able to trust their kids on the computer.
Yes, you do seem like an old fellow who gripes (for the sake of griping). Can you suggest a way for Jagex to enforce the age limit? Whilst it's not entirely successful, it may act as a deterrent to less adventurous children. If they don't listen to the NPC's on Tutorial Island, they're more likely to just give up because they can't figure it out.
It's clear, Jagex is running out of ideas. The home teleport, the PC minigame, the Construction skill, and their constant updates on new items only made the game worse. I'm beginning to think that they are greedy now. I happen to quit this game last year, because I just couldn't take it any longer. I wish they would go and look at what they've done to their own game in the past two years.Home teleport - great idea, easy and convenient if you get lost or need a teleport. PC - a fun minigame, that's not quick levelling anymore. Construction - this has been long awaited since classic, so how can it be an example of Jagex running out of ideas? Or do you merely hate progress? RuneScape has grown and boomed in the past two years, and if I was Andrew Gower, I'd be damned proud of my game.

I think if you look at the high scores, you will see that hunter is likely to be the easiest 99. I mean its barely been out for a year and there are over 1200 people with 99 hunter. Thats insane! Plus hunter is pretty much cash free, and later levels actually make you cash.
Hunter is nowhere near the easiest 99 - plenty of people are going for 99 in it is because it is one of the few skills that can make you money at a decent XP rate. Plus it's a relatively new skill, meaning there's more incentive to it than to the older skills, plus many people see it as an "honourable" (for want of a better word) 99.
Fletching - AFK-able, good XP rate (~70k/h), able to make a profit (although for fast, consistent XP you'll most likely run at a loss)
Cooking - AFK-able, very fast XP (~100-200k/h I'm not entirely sure), can break even, or can cost ~5M.
I'm only listing those two because other skills require either vast amounts of money, an attention span greater than the average players, extremely slow XP, etc.

If they consider their terms of use a contract then it would be contact violation. And it could be theft of intellectual property as they are selling Jagex's items without permission.
-
While it may be against the law, the law does take into consideration the circumstances surrounding the crime - say an upper class man shoplifted only because of the thrill he got from doing it, and a poor man shoplifted to feed his starving family - whilst both broke the law, it is likely that the poor man would receive a more lenient punishment than the upper class man.
Crimes don't always fit into clear cut laws, there have to be exceptions in the pursuit of justice, so don't think too harshly of the gold farmers.

Pathetic
Australia will be next. :evil: I really don't see how they will ban PDA at my school, its too big with greeting hugs, but i wouldn't put it past my school to try. They tried to ban ear stretchers and facial piercings but they failed miserably. :thumbsup: How they think that hugging at school can lead to other things outside of school really gets me. :-sThen we must break free from Earth, and colonise the moon! Oh, and New Zealand can come too.
Reading this makes me oddly glad that I used to go to a school where getting slapped and pinched on the arse was a regular occurrence. Although this news report just sounds like a few isolated incidents, I seriously doubt whether many more schools will implement this.

One time I was at a friends house, we were playing handball in his driveway. Then this guy turns up in an old sports car, rolls down his window and tells us to get in the car. We then ran inside and told my friends dad about the guy, and he didn't believe us at first, but we managed to convince him. By the time we got back outside, he was gone.

Of course Jagex would have to update graphics,quests,etc otherwise there would be a definitive way to beat Runescape. Without quest updates alot of members would be training skills instead of quests, thus later on most members would get all the skills to 99. It's like saying McDonald's or Nike really care about other people in other countries. When they have sweatshops there and cheat the people living there.They set and illusion, a curtain of lies to shield themselves, face it corporations were made to maximize the profits. If Jagex honestly cares about the players and not much about money then why make Jagex? Why not just have a small business like what google started out with. If you've ever been to the Jagex homepage it's mainly about Runescape all the other games you could find on addictinggames or miniclip.
So I suppose Jagex have woven a tapestry of deceit and are feeding us hamburgers full of lies? Jagex continually update and support this game, despite all the abuse hurled at them by the more vocal players. Like Locutus said, businesses grow.
So when you were on the Jagex homepage, did you see their "Giving Back" page? Or did you somehow miss that page? If Jagex were entirely profit driven, I doubt they would donate 200 thousand pounds to Charity, and I doubt they would spend money to help minimise their impact on the environment.
Player satisfaction? That must be a joke, if that were a main purpose why are there so many people getting away with "I'm sorry my cat accidently tryped it" or "A virus made my computer do it." Also, why did it take that long to mass ban the autoers and gold farmers. Why did they release Hunting that is so similar to Slayer when there are so many better skill ideas in their OWN forums. Why are the holiday specials so childish? Why so simple? Sure, simplicity is a main factor in why we play runescape. Why does it take so long to receive a simple computerized reply to your message to Jagex.You see one of those every now and then and you immediately assume that's the case for most of them. I personally see one of those every few months at most, but a few who got through the cracks are not indicative of the whole. Hunter was a great skill in my opinion; if you don't like it, move on. Jagex can't please all of the people all of the time. I'm also curious as to how it is so similar to Slayer, so please enlighten me.
What would you do if you had the chance to design a holiday event? Some Rambo mission where you blow up the Grim Reaper for no apparent reason, during which you manage to woo his girlfriend and with plenty of blood and guts? They're just for fun; if you don't enjoy them, go and do something you will enjoy.
Just because you get the same (or similar) replies to your messages to Jagex does not mean they are reviewed and replied to by a computer; they may use pre written messages to save time on the vast amount of reports and queries they receive daily.
I know I'm assuming the worst in Jagex, but I've found that doing so will keep you from getting "hurt." This is like a child beleiving that the person playing their hero such as Batman or Superman is perfect and a real hero, but they all later realize that they were not what they seem like on t.v.So you think it's better to have a sheltered existence? You get hurt, you learn. If something bad happens, you dust yourself off and get back up. It's good to get hurt every now and then, otherwise you'll never be able to handle the real world, let alone all those scammers and whatnot on RuneScape.
Also why do they have those ridiculous polls on the main page. They don't ask if we want a Hunting skill or if we would like new interfaces and graphic updates, if we wanted HD graphics we would play halo and WOW instead of runescape. Instead we get the most random and stupid questions that truly never develope into the game itself.
I'd like to know which polls you think are ridiculous; the only one I can think of is the 'How well do you know RuneScape" quiz done recently. Jagex can't please every single player with every single update. So if it's not your cup of tea, move on. I find the new interfaces easier to use than the old ones. Jagex asking if graphics are a main concern tells them if they should update the graphics. The polls are a good way for Jagex to find out what areas of RuneScape the players want updated.

The advertising in f2p, at best, allows them to break even, or sustain f2p. The reason they introduced members in the first place was so that they could sustain the game, as the advertising at the time wasn't enough.
Remember, RuneScape was F2P for an entire year before they added Membership benefits. If it was just "sustaining" F2P, they wouldn't last a single month on website maintenance or employee salaries.
From what I've heard, at the time RuneScape was their job. So the game grew, they needed more servers, more employees and more capital to keep the game running - money that the advertising could not supply. Plus their living expenses.
Who are we to say what the motives of the individuals in charge are?The customers. Without us, they'd be out of jobs. So, in the end, it is really us who are in charge.
You are not in the position to be able to state what one person is in ANYTHING for. Only one person can, and that is the person in question. Customers are in charge, but do NOT - I repeat NOT have mind reading capabilities.
No, we don't have mind reading capabilities. We do, however, have the ability to question Jagex, to speculate. Blindly following and accepting what anyone says is extremely stupid.

...which may eventually have led into racist comments.
Which did not occur.
-
anything relating to "ku klux" is inherently racism related.
That does not automatically make anyone who makes reference to "ku klux" a racist by extension, nor does it make their comments racist. What if someone slams the KKK in a newspaper, does that mean that they are making racist comments?
I never said that it made you racist, but if you look at the runescape rules:
This includes (but is not limited to): discussion of recreational drugs, sexually explicit language, solicitation, racism or other prejudice, threatening, blackmail and swearing. It's simply a matter of common sense - try not to say anything that someone might find offensive.
Ok, so you didn't say that it was racist, but others were, and my point stands that his comments were not racist, merely in reference to a racist organisation.

If anyone tried this Jagex might ban him or her on a trumped up charge to get rid of the last cracker. Then, they would probably do it themselves on the other rares to finally get rid of them. Hell, it's what I would do.
If you ever do try this, don't set foot it Falador Park W2; the merchants will kill you :ohnoes:

Both of those were valid reports, and you can be punished for both.
The first one is very racist, and for the second, chat spamming is a reportable offense under Rule 1.
BLACK.
Are you going to call me racist because I said black?

Please, tell me, what's racist about this?
Whilst I don't agree with the first offence, you deserved the second one.
Even mentioning the "KKK" or "Klu Klux Klan" is against the rules. Very offensive to some people, and it's not something that seems realivent to talk about in a game such as Runescape.
I'm not going to debate whether mentioning it is offensive or not (although personally I believe the context is more important than the words). I was saying that it wasn't racist to say 'ku klux'.
A lot of conversations in RuneScape aren't relevant to the gameplay; should we outlaw these conversations just because they aren't discussing something game related?

The Overall Easiest 99 Skill To Get?
in General Discussion
Posted
Hunter is NOT awfully easy to raise.
First of all, you have to deal with idiots who try to turf you out of where you're training because they can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes (15 at most) to find an empty world. It is incredibly annoying to have some tool come along and disrupt your training when there are plenty of other worlds.
Secondly, it's not like most other skills that are click and wait until the inventory is done. It requires patience and a lot more attention than most other skills - if you're lucky, you'll get a 30 second reprieve every hour or so.
Hunter is nowhere near as easy as some of the other skills. And you can't buy it either.
