the sol to the macro prob (problem solved)

[hohto]

i think this is a great idea, i couldn't care less about the skillers. I think they should put muggers, or giant rats, or some sort of aggressive monster around all trees about oak. and i think they should make the door to the ess mine auto-closed, so macroers would have a very hard time getting in, and out.

 

 

 

All npc and random events can easily be passed, so they wouldn't solve the problem.

[The Observer]

Skillers. They will get hurt by this.

who cares i dont maybe the skillers but thats ok their just a minority and dont really help the macro problem but hinder it

[Omar]

i agree with theo and the skillers should just suck it up and try to actually skill the combat lvls and there wouldnt be such a problem

 

Think for a second. If they don't wanna train combat usually it's because it makes it harder. But they do want to wc. Also if skillers go to the willows, and muggers are spawning near the yews, macroers would do the same thing.

:notalk:

 

That minority is sometimes paying to be members. Making them pissed won't make Jagex make money.

[l0rdbarney]

sry to say this but those are some pretty stupid ideas, u know how hard this would be fore skillers?

 

 

 

no i stick with my old suggestion of having a lvl requirement, of 200 total lvls, having 2 macro like 3 skills will really put some people off wanting to auto

 

 

 

but skillers can easily get those lvls so ya

[ThurinEthir]

Stop encouraging this guy by bumping this thread...Let it die...And if he bumps it when it's dead, I think you might be able to report it, although I'm not sure.

 

 

 

And by the way, there's a reason they're called skiller pures...They're purely skills, no combat...

 

 

 

I don't think I need to say any more, I'm just attempting to make you understand the point of skillers...

2 words...

 

IP Ban...

 

 

 

Another two words......

 

 

 

Won't work.....

 

Another Two words, IP changing.

Another Two words, IP changing.

 

 

 

Ahem.

 

 

 

Floating IP's, proxies, and mirrors, oh my.

 

 

 

Also, There are ways to get your IP changed, easy.

 

The only way that Jagex can ban IP's totally is by doing a 208.152.***.*** ban (*'s are whatever goes there, from .0.0 to .255.255, it's just a placeholder), with everything banned that has the prefix 208.152., as an example.

 

 

 

But, what if there is a clean, cash-paying member among that group?

 

 

 

Therefore, IT CAN'T WORK.

 

 

 

If you ban a single IP, such as (EXAMPLE) 217.258.20.39, it is easily changed. Most people, though, have a static IP.

 

 

 

The solution is to ID MAC addresses. This is permanent, and requires a whole new network card to get by (or a new comp).

 

 

 

Like this solution?

Think for a second. Your runecrafting is only level 31. Your farming, construction, and hunter are unranked. Apparently, you don't like those skills. Skillers don't like combat. Same concept.

construction is a waste of time and doesnt get u anything useful farming is the same thing but it is even more pointless

 

when hunter came out i wasnt a member so u need to stop jumping to conclusioons about me and combat is actually usefull for many reasons, i mean who doesnt like to kill those monsters and get sweet drops to get money except those stupid sissy skillers and can some1 tell me how they arent helping out the macroes because anything that jagex does will end up hurting those sad excuses of an account

 

and for runecrafting it is a great skill just 1 that isnt needed cmon ppl not even 1mill people have it at 30 so i am well above average for that skill

[vesuvius27]

Hold on there! You just proved my point. You think that farming is pointless! You think that runecrafting isn't needed! So now Jagex is going to require you to train runecrafting or instant ban comes to you. Some people think combat is pointless. For a free player, it can be. Your best drop is only worth 26,000 gp. (Rune full helm).

yea list something from farming that is use ful

 

and i never said that rec was pointless i said there is easier ways and still u failed to tell me how skillers can make more good than they make bad u really need to read more carefully and can u tell me how combat is pointless

 

and 26k is a lot for just 1 monster when u have to do a lot of skilling to get that much

 

 

 

oh and yur not ranked in rc and ur hunter and construst is sooooo good some stop being a hypocrit

[hohto]

* The best source to get herbs.

 

- These herbs are used by herblorists to make potions.

 

- These potions are used by pkers and stakers who use combat stats.

 

= farming helps pkers.

 

 

 

* People who train on certain monsters (many slayer monsters for example) get every now and then seed drops which can be sold for good money, look at snapdragon prices for example.

 

= It gives cash to people training combat.

 

 

 

Also, it's a skill just like strength, attack or defence. Just because you don't like it, it doen't mean others wouldn't like it either. I like farming pretty damn much.

 

 

 

construction is a waste of time and doesnt get u anything

 

 

 

It doesn't? It did for me:

 

* Gilded altar which is by far the fastest and almost the cheapest xp if we don't count buying normal bones or collecting by yourself. I got 98 prayer and just because of that. With ectoing I got sick after 82.

 

* Armour stand to fix your broken barrow armors for a cheaper cost.

 

* Free teleportation options. I personally just love home teletab while killing kq: takes 1 inv spot, brings me right next to an altar and I got a glory at the wall which is always ready to tele me to Al Kharid.

 

 

 

and for runecrafting it is a great skill just 1 that isnt needed cmon ppl not even 1mill people have it at 30 so i am well above average for that skill

 

 

 

Well above average, yet you haven't even really trained it. I wouldn't say you would have even had the first taste of it with that amount of xp you've gotten. Also have you ever wondered where pkers get deaths to pk with (ice barrage, anyone?), how do they get runes train their magic and so on. I personally got 99 magic in rsc and I would have been really happy if we had had rc there. Runes were pain in the backdoor to get in big amounts and if you wanted to collect them by yourself, it took ages.

 

 

 

Once again: your idea won't work. Why? We already got bots that can flee from random events. Fleeing from a mugger wouldn't be any different. We already got autoers who train their melee skills, look at green dragons for example. No, they didn't immediately go with 1 1 1 stats to dragons -> low lvl melee autoing isn't impossible. If Jagex added some monstears near all skilling places, normal skillers would suffer more from it than autoers. They can always waste 2 hours on using their bots on chickens. Only thing it changes is that skillers got harder times and we can't report every lvl 3 immediately.

 

 

 

Little hint: You could also learn even some slight things on writings. I hate reading a text without any single dot or a big capital.

 

 

 

edit: You also said 26k for a monster might be good. Heck, I do on an average at least 100k more profit per hour on farming and in that I actually have to work for around 5-10mins unlike in combat skills.

[yogosunismyhero]

great idea! also set them around fish and the mines

[drapit]

Maybe, just maybe, they can change the spots trees are at. i.e. today, this yew tree is in falador, tomorrow, it'll be in varrock. Trees which have muggers surrounding them will not change spots.

 

 

 

I propose that the muggers be at least lvl 30. And they'll be very aggresive.

Stay on topic stop the flame war or this post will be locked. ~ Warned~

I tried starting a petition for that.

 

 

 

It got shot down.

 

 

 

I still think MAC address bans would work. If it is possible (I don't know if it is possible.)
