What makes a good player?

[Dazzuh]

My relationship to that player.

My relationship to that player.

 

 

 

best reason ive seen yet!

If they can kill you, they're better than you. =;

Wilcher, what is wrong with you? Is your friend list simply a place to store names of those who sell you items, or do you actually have friends?

 

Being a good player (in my opinion) has NOTHING to do with your stats. To be honest, I really couldn't care less if my best RS mate couldn't take on another person in the wilderness. I care so much more that I know I can go KQing with him carrying the knowledge that if I die, he will pick up my stuff. Sure, kill the Kalphite Queen by yourself is more of an achievement and more profitable, but just knowing the fact there is someone on the other end of an internet connection you can trust is heart warming.

 

 

 

MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playeing Game (I think. :P)

 

 

 

I am not using this as a personal attack on you, I am just stating my point loud and clear.

 

Friends > Pixels.

I think what makes a good player is being able to make friends and enjoy yourself but also knowing that there is life outside RuneScape.

 

 

 

I think there was a topic like this the other week...

No it was definitely aimed at Wilcher. Here is the quote:

 

 

 

screw manners, honor, trust, this isnt the real world and their are no judges, courts, or jails to hold me in. i follow the rules of runescape, and i live in the part of runescape where all rules are forgotten and i can rule by simply killing you.

like you said killin it by yourself is a more of an achievement, thats the only way im looking at it. i dont have a problem with going with my friends and splitting up the earnings of the chains. i dont really like doing it alone honestly, i like being with my friends and teams. i just think that knowing you have your own independence makes a good runescape player. im very friendly and have 2 many if u wanna b honest, but i dont use them as my safety rope. thats about it.

 

 

 

an now these are just my personal oppinions here. i have nothin against teamin/clans/friends at allllllll i like it. you should always be social so you dont turn into a cold dark person.

Ok you made a good point there about not using friends as a safety rope, I guess I misinterpeted what you were saying earlier. Independence is a good thing, but I think friends are what makes RuneScape such a popular game.

 

I was just sharing my opinion on what makes a good player, obviously different people value different qualities as 'better'. I shouldn't have been so quick to criticise your views, I apologise.

[Robert_Rdam]

Someone that plays by the rules and doesn't ignore people looking for help. :)

[TheWilch]

^x2 and that i can definatly agree with. i think thats why runescape is so big too because u can gather up ur dudes and go dominate somthing lol.

 

 

 

im defiantly a Pixel < Friend kinda guy. ive sold rares just to help out irl friends get back on their feet in runescape

 

(sorry non irl rs friends none of ya ever asked :P )

 

 

 

iiiittts oookkk sir

[Gugge]

In your eyes, how would you see somebody as a good player? I was wondering, because there is a 'who is the best tip.iter' thread, and everyone has similar views (roughly) on that post. So to you, what makes a good player?

 

Is it combat levels?

 

Skill total?

 

popularity?

 

rares?

 

quest points?

 

Nothing of what you listed in my opinion. To me a good player is

 

 

 

- someone with good knowledge about the game. This may mean high skills and/or high quest points and/or high combat level, but doesnt have to. It may as well be someone who spend a lot of time on forums, or helping to update fan sites, or helping other players may it be friends or strangers. To me, good knowledge about the game is the most important to be considered a good player.

 

 

 

- someone who play the way they enjoy it. To me a good player do things the most enjoyable way (enjoyable in their own personal opinion), while they DO know the most efficient way to level that skill. To me the most efficient players are not necessarily the same players as the good players, the good players may be way down the hiscore lists..... and as menitoned above, playing by the rules of course.

 

 

 

- and last but not least: someone who is there for their friends when they need them.

[Tsar]

A good player in my eyes is someone who, generally speaking:...

 

• >> Is self-efficient to a certain extent (up to a maximum of 99 in all stats ofcourse, but the medium starts at lets say 50-60), also has advanced knowledge of the game, not having to ask directions every 10 seconds or so.
   
   
   
  >> Socializes well with players and can leave a positive image of themself whereever they go, but doesn't add another person to their friendlist as easily as the new players do, for a full list usually means zero privacy and can be very tiresome having to reply to every one of the 200 friends.
   
   
   
  >> Doesnt climb into verbal fights, when it isn't directly interfering with their own life; if a good friend is involved in that fight, doesn't overreact while trying to defend their buddy.
   
   
   
  >> Helps when he/she feels like its directly necessary, otherwise leaves a bit of advice. No point being a saint when everyone else around you are devils.
   
   
   
  >> Doesn't whine and cry continuously about how something went wrong, aka 'I got killed today, boohoo' but feels it is just a part of the game and moves on, trying to learn from the mistakes done.
   
  

[spikerkid]

Who ever doesn't scam is a good player in my opinion. If someone died with all there stuff and you gave it back I could consider you a good player. Doesn't matter about levels or how rich you are. If your willing to be nice and know this is only a game than your better than good.

none of those, that is to see how deticated you are or how many people you get to like you for different reasons. A good player is a player that helps others when they need it and just in total is not a jerk, this can be very many people,though to my disapointment in runescape its not very many people. the only place i think this does not go, is in the wildernis. No rules baby just kil everything wich bothers you there, the presure valve of rs.

 

 

 

 

Someone who doesn't pk/stake/merchant.

 

 

 

and why is that? pking is just fine if people dont whine, staking is not bad either and merchanting wel i could see your point there but its not bad i do it myself to =p. we just take smal amounts of stuf and make it a hughe pile and sell it to people making 2 people happy (the seller and the buyer because of quiknes) and me or the other way around buying much and selling to small buyers who wouldn't get because many people dont sell smal amounts.

 

 

 

( btw i got a eye on a very fast way of money making wich i aint gonna tel =p it would ruin it, yep if i merchant i get al bad)

[Nitemare100]

A player who is polite, honest, and has good stats is a good player in my opinion.

[Ghostlord101]

best players are people who play runescape to have fun above all else.

 

 

 

worst players beg.

[Voldmort0]

I'd balance Combat with Total lvl and Wealth. Depending on what the person does, I'd take the capacity and skill of that person to do what he does the most into count too.

[freezepop5]

Someone who isn't obbsessed

 

Someone who doesn't scam

 

Someone who has their private chat on and nice conversations with random people.

 

Someone who tries hard

 

Someone who doesn't pk/stake/merchant.

 

im merchanting but only until i got 60mill then i will get 91 runecrafting and make my money through a skill and i consider myself a good player of the game :D

[HellsBells]

People who use proper language. I'm tired of-phr33 st00f pl0x? 1 g0t haxx0r3d. g1m33 4ll y0ur p h4t5 and s4nt4s 1mm3d14t3ly!

[Muscular_Ape]

Good players can be good in alot of different ways.

 

 

 

I think the main thing is being experienced and helpful. I'm not saying LOL99ALL, but have some experience with the game, decent stats, a few years of playing and to top it all off; being a generally nice person and helping others when they can.

 

 

 

I'd like to think I do my best to be a good player :P

[Star_Fox]

someone who gives symphony for others loss.

 

 

 

someone who makes friends with the right person and disiplines the disruptive persons.

 

 

 

it all depends on the character outside the computer screen.

[katakid1]

Someone who believes friends>pixels, dks with me, etc. or is just named katakid1 8-)

[Robot919]

In my mind, a good player

 

-respects other people

 

-tries to help other people if they ask for it

 

-has respectable stats

 

-doesn't complain and spam a lot

 

-doesn't act like a noob and annoy everyone

 

-is a team player in mini-games

[Triquos]

trustworthy

 

loyal

 

respectful

 

popular

 

skills - depending on what they are (e.g. runecraft, takes lots of determination, agility takes lots of effort etc. etc.)

 

courage

 

honour

 

 

 

those are what i think makes a gr8 person

 

 

 

the best player i think in rs is cyrano74 (no not because of his/her skills) he/she helped me in wildy by giving me food after escaping from a dds guy wanting my food at wildy agility course from another world. he/she didn't have to and could have killed me to get rid of me (pkers usually love killing people with nothing on :roll: ) but cyrano didn't do that, and gave me food which was really nice of him/her.
