Our_Moon Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 ~As you may or may not know, there's an option of turning "Obstacles" On/Off in the Duel Arena. With it Off, there's a simple, flat space for Duels to take place. With it On, there are (who could guess...) Obstacles!~ ~Dueling with Obstacles leads to three terrible points:~ -Unfair Stakes - where one player hides and can attack the other player, whereas they cannot attack back -X-Logging - Logging Out while the Duel is in effect by clicking the "X" in the upper-right-hand corner of your browser -Cheating - tricking other Players to Duel you by saying things like "I'm only Level 60, you're Level 80! 2x Me!" (Little do you know, being the Level 80, that the Level 60 has an aptitude at cheating by hiding behind obstacles, and 99 Magic.) ~All in all, winning a Stake with "Obstacles" on only states that you are a better cheater, which is nothing to boast about.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like obstacles, turn them off. There are some people that like more of a challenge. No support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our_Moon Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 ~Tell me, honestly, have you ever seen a *FAIR* Obstacles-On Stake?~ ~No, that's what i thought.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtle_rune Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 ~Tell me, honestly, have you ever seen a *FAIR* Obstacles-On Stake?~ ~No, that's what i thought.~ That's funny, I answered your question without even moving my mouth. I've never seen any duel match. So don't talk like that. And anyway, with this suggestion you are removing people's freedom. Call me weird, but I'm getting a deja-vu of my Modern World History lesson... As I said, there's an option to have it off. Thus, it suits everybody. JaGEx are not going to implement something they know will annoy lots of people. If you don't like obstacles, you don't have to have them. And please stop writing everything between the ~'s. It doesn't make you look cool, nor clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stops melee being constantly overpowered. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our_Moon Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 ~Go to World 18 or 22. Say "Mage-Staking 100k - Obstacles On." Fight the Duel. I guarantee you'll lose~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It proves nothing about your point what so ever... If your saying Obstacles on the other person is obviously going to be prepared which means that's it's going to be a fair fight... They may just be better at using obstacles Check out my blog here!Thanks Jopie211 for the sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssalwhip Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 It's people like you who always get everything nerfed... Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you see somebody else saying that, do you automatically win? :-s It's part of their strategy. If you think it's cheating, turn it off.
