25leaf Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 They get ticked at you for taking the time, to level, level something besides strength and having enough of a brain to bring food, pots and a tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0rdbarney Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 lol theyre not weirdos, theyre just ppl who cant kill u and start trying to insult u any skill which can be used should be used, so calling some1 a pray noob is just as reasonable as calling them a str noob(pures) just because they use something to their advantage doesnt make them a noob an exception is tele and run, although its perfectly fine, some ppl just find it more honorable not to use it pure:demon_x_king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShadowClawe Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yes, very wise words of wisdom, people. As many of you said: (I took all quotes/ideas from you guys) ---Teleportation in the wilderness does make fights unfair, but if Jagex didn't want it to be like that, they would have made it a ritual spell (Something that can be done only in non-combat, like home teleportation). ---Just because someone else uses something to their advantage, such as prayer, it does not make them a noob. Jagex put prayer in the game for a reason. Levelling up in prayer does take tons of patience and sometimes tons of money, so people who dedicate their time and money will find the end result worth the trouble. ---People who find they can't beat you because you are wearing full rune/keep using your prayer/keep eating swordfish/keep drinking strength potions are just mad and jealous that they can't beat you, or that they know you're better than them. ---For pking, prayer is a very strong skill. A lot of people know that, but because they dont want to/are too lazy to level up in prayer, they call everyone noobs who use prayer while pking. ---Armor was made for a reason. Many people go into the wilderness without armor, due to the fear that they might lose it. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with, though, is that some people call other players noobs who are wearing full rune and have no skull, because they dont have skulls (They don't want to lose all of their rune!), which means they won't get their full rune if they kill them, and their full rune makes them very strong, against someone who is wearing no armor. "Not fair! Take your armor off!" People who go into the wilderness with full rune are very courageous, they know the advantages and disadvantages of wearing full rune in the wilderness. ~Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firsttsurugi Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 there are no rules in the wildy, so the best thing to do is say "screw you" and move on. Currently will be using my Oni Tsurugi account to attempt to get 99 on all free skills without spending any gp, just for the sake of doing so.

Killy_the_Kid Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 The wilderness used to be a fun, enjoyable challenge to kill players and get their loot, but recently there have been a few people who came and wrecked the whole fun. I call them Wilderness Weirdos. Prayer weirdos: Omg you idiot noob your using prayer!!!! These people will start screaming at you and calling you a worthless, mindless noob whenever they see the protect icon above your head. Just ignore them, stay away from them, and fight others. Food noobs: Omg you idiot you ate food! Since Im not eating you cant frickin eat!! Noob!!! These people will start screaming at you and calling you a noob whever you eat food. They say that since they aren't eating food, you cant either. Same as above. Just ignore them and stay away from them, fight other players instead. Teletubby noobs: Omg whats wrong with you! You idiot teletubby!! scaredy cat! scaredy cat! These people will start yelling at you when you teleport out of the wilderness. They are just mad that they won't get their loot, just ignore them. Post thoughts.I've seen all of those types, even some you missed: def noob, run noob, team noob, and mage/melee/rng noob. Hyt Chat FOREVERI have quit RuneScape. I have posted on the Leaving sticky saying so.

XdomX Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 It takes the fun out of PKing when you can't kill them. You might aswell call it Ping. :roll: At the end of the day PKing is the funnest part of the game, and you are taking away my fun by safing, teleing, praying when fighting me. I agree with this guy. The reason people don't like it when you pray: in order to have a fair chance in the fight, they have to pray too. Whoop dee doo. Now the fight is going to go on exactly like it did, except taking twice as long. The reason people don't like it when you carry a teleport: if you carry one, you are effectively saying that anyone who fights you has no chance of getting your items. Would you want to fight someone with that mindset? Safing is a bit trickier, but along the same lines, it makes it less fun. I've seen the "I have a right to pray and tele" sigs, and you do. But, stay away from serious pkers when you do it, because they don't like it. They are putting their equipment on the line, and it's unfair for you not to. Now you might say "PMG i shouldn't have to risk my equipment if I don't want to!", but think about it. If everyone pked with teleports, no one would ever pk anyone. Every fight would go attack attack attack attack *ooops that was a high hit I'm leaving*. Now, if you like that idea, I absolutely encourage everyone who sees this fight to always pray when the fight goes against you, and teleport at the first sign of a hit above 20. If you don't, be polite and show your opponent the degree of respect that you don't plan to short him and leave him with nothing when (if) he defeats you. Exactly right. Want to fight someone without risking items? I believe there is an arena for that. :roll: Stud112 (UNBANNED)99 atk, 92 def, 99 str, 97 hp, 118 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenphotos Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think somebody mentioned in another rant on this subject an interesting point. That possibly one of the most essential skill of a pker is to have the ability to convince you that you should die and leave your stuff to them out of honor, to not be a safer, to not be a noob, etc. You see, if they can convince you to play anything by their rules, they win. So all this talk of honor, rules of the wilderness, etc., are simply attempts to keep it from being equal. They claim it's an attempt to keep it more equal, but when a person trains and equips within a certain limited set of rules and conditions, they'll always have more advantage over somebody that has not done that. It is also an attempt to move the responsibility for your characters death (and their sudden wealth) onto you. The reality is that it is their responsibility to kill you for your pixels, and if they cannot accomplish that for any reason, it's their own fault. There is countermeasures for every defensive tactic. Snare, teleblock, smite, the list goes on. So if they chose not to level up their skills to use those countermeasures, if they didn't choose to lvl up agility to run you down - well, the truth is it's *their* fault.

no_way2go Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Someone called me a noob today in the wildy because I attacked and killed him....

When I was pking a few years ago in RSC, there were none of these people. They did seemingly "pop up" recently. There may have been a few scattered, but now there are a lot of people who do this.

Celestrana Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't PK in the Wilderness, nor do I stake at the Duel Arena. Maybe these PKers should switch gears and fight in the Duel Arena so that they can enforce some of these rather ridiculous "rules". From what I understand, the idea behind the Wilderness is that it's a free-for-all, anything goes area that a player can kill another player with no restrictions imposed upon them and must rely on their wits and their warrior prowess to survive anything thrown at them.

reaper88888 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I get called a def noob all the time for having 77 defence at 95 combat... :roll: There are just some idiots who got lost, and they think they wound up in the duel arena, so they try to set the rules... Stfu losers, if you were as good at pking as you think you are, you could kill me even when I HAVE teles, eat a lot, pray...

Natasa777 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 i hate those ppl. Once I was in wildy fighting some some guy, we were both safing and both using prayers and a lvl24 comes and starts calling us def noobs, safe noobs, prayer noobs.... she kept us calling that for like half an hour refresh to see another sigF2p forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicologist Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I agree with everything except "tele noob". The only reason I do not openly speak out against teleportation in the Wilderness is because of the sheer amount of clans and teams out there, and the fact that single zones are not truly single zones. Why do you resist? My experiments are only helping humanity push the boundaries of the Art of Toxicology... you should be proud to be one of my victims. ~Toxicologist~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trecool9897 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I just laugh at them lol, it's their choice if they're not gonna eat food, but i'm gonna ! :thumbsup: Thanks Lil_Atza for the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac_Rehab Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I also agree with you. If you're in the wildy to PK (note; this is significantly different then rune mining, green dragon killing, etc.) you should risk something while doing it. If you make totally sure you won't die, it's just an incredible boring place, how would you feel about pking if you couldn't kill anyone? and what do pures risk then? a full iron/steel/monk... not very risky huh?

Dboy65 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 most pkers have the IQ of a rock and should be treated as such.making a thread about their midless whining is not worth the bandwith.

piman1053 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 There's a thread in General P2P ("Is strenth the only safe stat?") where a pker got called a noob for weilding a whip. "Prayer noob" "Defense noob" "Attack noob" "Tele noob" In this case, "noob" is just a way to vent anger of losing a kill. In theory, the addition in combat level by raising those stats should make them weak in edge wildy, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimHams Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The amount of people running up to you praying actually ruins the wild. If no one did this we'd see less arguing and more enjoyable pking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
