Goldenjkered Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I was in world 2 bank today after I had done some merchanting, and there was someone in the corner being attacked by a swarm, slowly dying. Like any normal person I stood on his square waiting for him to die or his ROL to activate. As his death neared lots of people got on his square. I thought he wouldn't drop much in value, but then he died and I right clicked to see if I could grab something. I looked and to the right of the items were several noughts going down the list, meaning one thing -barrows items. I quickly tried to grab something, and managed to get my self a broken karils skirt. After all the items had been picked up, it looked as though he had lost around 4 barrows sets, about 10 mil cash and other expensive items. I kinda felt sorry for the guy, as he had just lost most of his wealth to the residents of world 2, and probably had nothing left of his hours of playing (he was lvl 90 by the way). So, have you ever felt sorry for someone who has died or lost their items? Ps: I repaired the skirt and sold it to a crazy guy, who bought it for 500k :shock: Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007007008plp Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I never feel sorry for anyone who dies in circumstances like that. They should be paying full attention to the game, especially when they have that amount on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 thats sad, did you see his name? You could've gave him the skirt back I bet that would've gave him something to start over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikerkid Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 He should of worn a rol.. That's his problem really. i wouldn't feel sorry for him. But I have felt sorry when my irl m8 lent his long time "friend" with his red partyhat. I'm guessing you know the rest of the story.

Ps: I repaired the skirt and sold it to a crazy guy, who bought it for 500k :shock: Most of the time peoples deserve what they get. Like the guy you described, either he was too dumb to run away (doubtful) or was using an auto-typer or auto-buyer, because he obviously wasnt looking at his screen. So he did deserve it, dont feel sorry. Once I was collecting seconds from cave crawlers in the slayer dungeon when some low level passed by and poisonned (for 8), he panicked right away and start running around while I run after him to trade him anti-poison, and shoutimg him I was going to give some to him. Then he just starts doing home-tele, and die there leaving his stuff on the ground. I did everything to help him and he acted dumb, so I dont have to feel sorry for him.

The_Dragon_Reborn Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Years ago, me and this guy I knew decided to have a fun fight. I'm not an idiot so I brought 3 items. He brought almost 50k airs. I won, picked up the airs, and put him on ignore. I don't know if he still plays, because a few weeks later I put him on my friends list. He hasn't ever logged in since. If he still plays, I would definitely give him his stuff back. I feel bad that I might have actually forced him to quit RS. I know I was an [wagon] back then, but given the chance, I would try to make up for it. ~~Let The Dragon ride again, on the winds of time~~I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

EugenyG Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 To those saying that people dying in W2 from swarms are macroers/stupid... You do realize that W2 fally is sometimes so crowded you can't see your own self, let alone stuff attacking you. - There are a good 500-1000 people stacked in a location nearly completely covered by the minimap - Screen lags so much stuff gets to you in chunks and with 5-10 secs delay (and my machine is not weak at all, 2.2amd64 and 2gb ram, and 10mbps cable internet), yet lag is still horrible. Sometimes it's so bad I have to play low detail, but when I can I play high because it reduces change of being scammed from an item swap - Noise is turned off to somewhat reduce lag, so can't hear randoms - Text goes by so fast that you have to spend all your attention trying to read before it disappears and find person who said it, not at your own character All these factors combined, I find it very plausible to die from a random even while directly focusing on the gameplay. When you turn away for a sec to read marketplace forums or whatnot, the chance is even higher. And no, I can't go and put my stuff in the bank, because I barely have time to conduct trades with everything on me before someone else buys/sells before me. I always wear RoL (but it doesn't work when trading in F2P world such as Varrock W1). When task does not involve running around, I'm also wearing full armor. And still, the possibility of dying is always a threat, and look hard as I might, it's simply impossible to completely safeguard given the conditions I described above. K, I said it, now I wonder how long before someone replies "u deserve it u greedy merchant making profit from other people". But the truth is that walking around trading in Fally park W2 is NOT a "walk in the park", pun intended. Not asking you to be sorry for us (its our own choice to do what we do), but don't call us stupid or macroers. --- On another note... I sometimes feel sorry when people make a stupid (for them) deal. I never scam or lie about item prices, and I don't even offer grossly off prices first in hopes some noob would accept, but if someone was first to sell something for way too cheap, I wouldn't stop them. But I guess that's how people learn. Like this guy yesterday... Was selling ~300 yew longbows for 100ea... So I bought. And no, I dind't mock him for being a noob after he sold them to me. Live free or die. First option is exhausted, so guess what remains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best.Post.Here. To me, Runescape items and gp are measured by time it took to get it, since it's not really an item. So when you loose something in Runescape you are really loosing time you spent. It's not just the pixels. =D> Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have felt sorry for many peoples in my days of RS playing. Many times for people dying, but also for people that scams and uses some sort of auto. Because they don't understand that they're destroying the games to ous other, honest people. And that's really sad. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The only people I can really say I have felt sorry for are people who were the victims of Jagex's arbitrary actions (such as perm bans to people with "inappropriate names"...) and the victims of bugs/bug abuse, like all the people who lost ranger sets, and the one who lost a phat to durial321 during his little rampage. Beyond that, there is almost always a reason to withhold your sympathies for a person, namely because that person did something stupid. For example; buying something the instant it comes out for an outrageous price, dying with a ton of stuff on while browsing forums or because you didn't bring a proper light source/ROL into lumby caves, getting scammed, "hacked" (e.g.: dling a suspicious file and getting keylogged), ect.
