Sy_Accursed Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Is it just me that finds this annoying? These days forum thread titles are editted loads to brag of views and replies People insist on wandering around bragging about beating a new quest while others do it. People come up to you and ask your stat lvls until they find one better than yours and brag. What is the big deal with all this stuff? Its not like your amazing because of any of it. So what do you lots think about people bragging about anything and everything rs related these days?

yomom1919 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thats what runescape is, a competition for bragging rights. Although many will deny it, and im expecting cliche responses, many players play to advance, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Players want this accomplishment to be seen and heard outside themselves, so they gain an even bigger sense of accomplishment. That's the essence of runescape, and the reason its such a fantastically designed game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar_Drifter Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I have a thread with over 5k views and yet I choose not to brag about it. I noticed the very same thing yesterday that you've just mentioned. I see one thread in particular that is updated very regularly just to show how many views it has. I mean.. why mention it in the title when you can just look to the right and see how many views it has gotten. I will make an exception for the one that has 100k views.. that's an accomplishment there in itself. ~Lunar Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome!

Sy_Accursed Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yeah can be annoying although i find people who brag about stats with a real ego much more annoying. Off topic: Nice new signature pawclaw :) ty on topic: Some bragging I find alright if done with good taste. Such as say 100k+ views on a topic Getting a d chain drop Getting a 99 Getting 200m xp in a skill But ones like first post, I beat the new easy quest you didn't, Ha I'm 1 theif lvl better than you or omg 500+ thread views, are jsut pointless Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy_Accursed Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 This is not complaining or saying I hate it. It is called a discussion, perhaps when you learn the meaning of that you could make a more justified contribution.

raylifes Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Okay, okay, that's enough :shame: We don't want this to take off and become a flame war. Some of us do! :twisted: Anyways, I hate it when people look at your stats just to brag, ask your lvl just to brag etc, I hate it... The people that put the amount of views in the name of the topic, I don't hate. I do find it kind of sad, but if they feel they've accomplished something, good for them, let them be happy about it. As long as they don't go posting on other topics that they are better because of the amount of views I don't mind. Thats what runescape is, a competition for bragging rights. Although many will deny it, and im expecting cliche responses, many players play to advance, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Players want this accomplishment to be seen and heard outside themselves, so they gain an even bigger sense of accomplishment. That's the essence of runescape, and the reason its such a fantastically designed game. Yup, I also believe this is one of, if not the biggest reason people play this game. But that doesn't mean it's normal to brag about everything, I don't. O:) I mean, it's true that the sense of accomplishment is nice, but I don't brag about my lvls or completed quests. Most of my real-life friends that played have quit, so I have no reason to brag to them. I don't really socialize with people at training spots, so there isn't even a lot of opportunity for me to brag. If some random person were to comment nicely about a lvl I have, I would feel proud, but I don't start boasting about my lvls to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azurechaos Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 When FMing I ask people their level. Not to brag once I get the answer, but to ask if they plan on getting 99, in which case I encourage them to keep going.
