Why does Jagex get new skills so wrong?
Okay.. You try telling a playerbase what you are adding to a game. It'd never get released since there'd constantly being people disagreeing, wanting changes and so forth. In the end, we'd hardly progress at all. With any game, they try for content targeted to their target demographic, and unfortunately with a large online game like this, there's no way to appease everyone. This skill was aimed at those who like the idea of raiding dungeons and such, perhaps those who dislike it are outside this demographic. You're kidding, right? Let's just take one example: the penance trident. Some Jagex developer who obviously never plays RS more than he has to, creates this utterly useless item. A whole bunch of players complain that it is useless for maging. They respond by boosting its melee stats. Please explain that to me? It's just one of many, many examples. Perhaps with that weapon, they were looking to give it a more all-round use, not only for Magic, but for some melee too. In the end, boosting the staff too much, a staff which is rather easily obtained I assume. That and with a +17 to Magic attack and a chance to save runes..It hardly seems useless.

No matter what you do, someone will be able to find a flaw in it. With 100k+ Players on at most times, and considering there are likely 1m+ people playing, can you ever please them all fully?

Why does Jagex get new skills so wrong?
If there is not enough constructive feedback, how can it be listened to? I assume you believe they have to respond to each piece? The feedback is taken into consideration, then measured against others, and then they try to please all sides.

Why does Jagex get new skills so wrong?
Okay..So you're arguing that Jagex does everything wrong at first? Yeah, perhaps Jagex do have problems with new skill releases, but hell, there's future content updates to them in order to help develop these skills. What do they do? Keep the skill unreleased until it's "perfect", or release what they think is a good skill, and then make additions at a later date based on feedback? Easily the second option makes more sense. If they delayed it, it just means longer until people complain about it. They don't know what the playerbase expects from something unreleased, especially in a new skill. A skill starts off with a idea. The idea develops. Content is added to the idea. The idea is polished off and released. Jagex get feedback. Skill updates are added based on the feedback. Sounds like the sane man's way of doing it.. Ah, but of course you're the type that doesn't want things that aren't perfect released..You expect it to be absolutely perfect even though Jagex don't know what players want from something they have not got in their game. As for Hunter, I believe it is very much alive, with the difficulty in finding worlds for the better training spots, it is hardly a dead skill as you claim. Hunter actually has rewards, with Black Salamanders being a useful weapon in some situations, chinchompas being a fast way to train Range. Implings providing other rewards (useful like Dragon Arrows, or merely cosmetic such as Royal gear.) The fact is, your post is heavily opinionated with little knowledge of how things actually work. Ever wonder why it takes console games awhile to be released? How some can be in development for years before release? That's because they don't have what online game developers do, the ability to completely upgrade the game (Of course, downloadable content now means there can be additions), but the game has to be more perfect because it is a finished project, they don't have the luxury of being able to completely change the game based on feedback, of course, they can improve in a sequel but if the original game is completely terrible, who is going to buy the next in the series? Seriously, if you think something is wrong with an aspect of a game, then give some constructive feedback, rather than just saying it sucks and how it's how you expect it to be, without actually giving any idea of what you want from the skill. Frankly, you've given nothing other than "Waah! I want a quick 99! Not something that takes time to level despite being enjoyable! Also I want all the rewards to be cheap! Despite the fact they are amongst the best item in game." Oh, and for your information, it's being posted that Jagex are looking at the cost of the rewards.

What is your favorite zombie movie?
For all purposes, they are what zombies basically are, and are often lumped into the Zombie sub-genre. Right now, it seems the Zombie sub-genre is getting more and more ill-defined, anything remotely zombie-like is called a zombie. Then again, it's not really such a bad thing, deranged-lunatic-infected-human just doesn't have the same effect as zombie, it'd be a joke.

Actually it does. You'd make more sense just saying "Wobbuffet." repeatedly.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
My thoughts exactly, I go to the movies to see a damn movie, not play tonsil hockey. Must be something to do with the movies they always watch.... Well, if the movie ends up being a load of [cabbage]..What else is there to do?

What is your favorite zombie movie?
Did you read this part of my post? "Since we're including 28 Days/Weeks Later, I guess I can throw in The Crazies (2010)." If you take The Crazies out of the zombie genre, then I take out 28 Days/Weeks Later.

Second Blog!
No, a trimmed Dungeoneering Cape would be at Level 99 with 1+ other 99(s). Though a "true" trimmed Dungeoneering cape will be at 120. I'm interested to see the stats of it. Also How Do You Type Like This Here? It Seems Like Too Much Effort.

Experience Table
At this moment, that experience is pure speculation. For all we know, they could easily have different required exp from 99 onwards.

Dungeoneering Questions
For Number 5, I'll add this. You need to have completed the previous floor before you can access the next. I.E completed floor 3 before you can access floor 4.

How do YOU dress?
Meh, believe what you want, but for the hell of it.. Firstly, I have a good relationship with my father. Secondly, whilst I have in interest in vampires, that purely comes from my interest in horror/slasher films, in no way do I believe I am a vampire, funny you say that though, it's a running joke in my class at college, and if I want to argue technicalities, since I go out in daylight, it'd actually be a dhampir you're wanting to accuse me of believing I am. Frankly, I just like that style of clothing, there's no real reason behind it.

How do YOU dress?
http://www.attitudeclothing.co.uk/product_20733-64-1718_Necessary-Evil---Highwayman-Coat.htm That, with some sort of T-Shirt, usually Crow Spirit ( http://www.blackrose.co.uk/index.php?leaf=dt181600 ) or Zombie Night ( http://www.blackrose.co.uk/index.php?leaf=dw176700 ) And a pair of Demonia Rocky 10's (can't be bothered hunting for a good picture) Pictures always help, right? Looking to get a couple pair of somewhat baggy trousers too. EDIT: People at college were surprised when I didn't come in with a bigger pair of boots, I would have but I couldn't find any under £100 (the Demonias cost £80) And I'm thinking of trying a black shirt with them, just to see how it looks.

Intelligence Quotience
150? Pfft.. I have 175, thank you. Though really, if you are interested in what your IQ is, don't use free online tests, they're not that good a way to find out your actual IQ.

Your 126cmb, so you can crash me, right?
You can't argue that when you are treating those you are crashing with less respect simply because they are a lower level. They can use the same to you.

Final Fantasy Discussion thread
Dark Aura, as some advice, you only need to hit the enemy once as a Commando so it doesn't fall as fast. After that you're best using at least 2 Ravagers for a quick stagger. Then switching back to a COM/RAV to get the damage in.

Pretty much. Oh, and you'll be up for a lot harder ones. Bahamut is the easiest, if only because you have all 3 members then.

WikiLeaks releases footage believed to show civilian deaths in Iraq in 2007.
Let me ask you people calling these men evil and such this.. In that situation, on a battlefield where everything is not clear, where you are in danger at practically every moment, would you all have made the same judgment you have now? On this battlefield, you can't tell friend from foe. Sure we now know it is a camera, but in that situation, it can look like other things. You don't take chances when your life is on the line. A guy comes at you with what appears to be a gun, do you double-check, or is your first instinct survival? The fact is, you are all condemning these men from the safety of your homes far from a battlefield. Hell, the closest you all have been to this sort of thing is probably in a game, where it is clear who the enemy is. So again, before you claim these men are evil, put yourselves in their situation, it certainly looks like they are carrying an RPG or something, and there's a large armed group of them. Do you take the chance that they are just innocents, endangering yourself when you have reasonable suspicion that they are carrying a deadly and illegal weapon?
