As far as rock climbing boots go it's over and done with and Jagex isn't going to do anything about it; we just have to remember that most likely, in the long run, it wont have that big an affect on the economy. I did love the second article though, nice little insight into the Times.

Assuming money for recharging wasn't an issue, would taking the time to get a Gravite 2h sword for everyday F2p melee training be worth it over using a Rune scimitar?

I appreciate the attempt at humor, but that first article was a bit more RSOF humor and less TIF humor.

Concerning the quest cape, I think what really matters is how long it takes of in game time to get a quest cape. If that's longer then it takes to get any skill cape then in theory the quest cape is harder to get.

Talisman staff is a waste of money at 10,000 tokens, if you bought 10,000 rune essence instead and sold them on the GE for 82 gp each (current market price) that's 820K for an item that's basically for show. Water talismans are 50 tokens so for 10,000 tokens you get 200 talismans which makes for 1,223,800 gp which is the most money you can get.

You either play for fun, or play because your life is less fun. Sometimes I feel like over analyzing why we play, or why non of us quit, takes the fun out of getting lost in the game.

Magic in F2p still hasn't caught up with melee, but I do see now that there has been progress.

Is there really that much to write about serious RS bugs?

Yes, it does appear that for some reason clicking on a column to sort adds an extra row.

I just don't get why Jagex hasn't fixed the knowledge base by now, or at least added a note saying something is wrong with the stats.

As for the economy article, Jagex needs to do something to deflate prices and take gp out of the game, 'nuff said. And for Dungeoneering, I'm not sure I would agree that all RS players "blatantly reject" it, but I do agree with some of the authors points about it being a tad disappointing.

Happened to me too, I traded in points for exp and still had to redo the previous floor before it unlocked the best floor for my level.

Embarrassment edit: Perverted jokes aside the new hompage looks a lot like other game hompages. Jagex is trying too hard to conform.

Then I'm joining :) Edit: No one home :(

I do remember them saying in one of the question and answer sessions that F2p would be getting a boss, but I doubt that this is it.

Yes I did, thank you :wink:

The increase in rate refers to the fact that you will have a higher chance of getting the ore every third swing (you can only get an ore from a rock on the third swing in the animation). It's less about a decrease in time and more about increasing the probability you'll get the ore.

For me, I mine iron ores at Rimmington using the cabbage-port + bank deposit box method. After like 30-ish inventories I earned 250k! :blink: I'm honestly not that sure if runite ores are that worth it anymore... but I don't have 85 mining yet so meh. At the astronomical price they are now (17.1K at the time of writing) it's more then worth it to switch to rune at 85.

Jagex should really just kiss our [wagon] if we're doing what they want and they're saying we'll get platinum "soon" or "in a month" or so.

When I read the first two pages and found no Hitler reference I knew I had to act. That was much funnier before it was on Reddit and everyone figured out what it was. </Off Topic> After thinking about it I think Jagex should just delete the safe list, if they aren't going to actually support the sites on the safe list then what is the point of a their half-hearted endorsement.

I'm completely on Tip.it's side here and agree that as long as Jagex's demands aren't over the top we should try to stay on the safe list, but let's travel back to WWII if I may and have a little talk about history. At the beginning of the pre-WWII period Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Chamberlain is best known for his appeasement policy when it came to Hitler. This is a quote from Wikipedia: The idea of appeasement was that Britain and France gave Hitler anything he wanted, within in reason, with the hope that each demand would be his last. After Prime Minister Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany, he returned to Britain with news that war had been averted and that the Sudetenland would be Hitler's last request. Obviously Hitler wasn't satisfied with just the Sudetenland, and later took the rest of Czechoslovakia and then Poland before Britain reacted. Now I'm not comparing Jagex to Hitler, or even saying their intentions are bad in their request, but you have to wonder when they will decide they have enough control. At first to get on the safe list you had to remove gold advertisements, which was totally reasonable (they are against the game rules), but now they also want competitor ads removed. The questions here are, is Jagex justified in demanding even more control then they had and whether this will be Jagex's last demand if we continue the historically flawed policy of appeasement. This also goes to show you that even the new and improved and "open" Jagex led by MMG can still be the money hungry tyrant it was in years past.

Well for me, around 700m. If I were to guess, a player who has 100m ish or an ags should reach the flat out happiness point. Unless it is a main account which would be around 300m. That's when they realize it's freaking 10 fold in terms of game hours to archieve further items like purple/ higher phats / ely/ divine OR the pursuit of further 99s. For me, keeping this impossiblity in mind got me off RS as well as not having membership... UNLESS there is extra exp events then I would reconsider. I just had a whole other idea, it really depends whether you're F2p or P2p as F2p has less items and less space to store less items. So in general F2p's number would be much less then 300m or probably any of the other numbers you mentioned.

Does anyone have any ideas for figuring out how much money you can acquire in game before it stops influencing your happiness? I'll also confess that I was shocked the real world value was $30,000/year, I feel like I would be unhappy making that amount of money, but I guess that's my perspective.

I feel like at some point before/after you were in the TET you organized your own forum/site for RuneScape events. Is that you?

Just a bunch of PR talk from Jagex. If they wanted someone to read their wall-o-text they should have included at least some info about a new project.
