What is wrong with Pures?

[rareghoul1]

95% of pures drop trade maybe more, and dont say you dont because i know you all do.

 

 

 

Lmao. I don't need to say more.

 

 

 

+1. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard(well maybe not but it's pretty bad). Try learning to read and go up and read my argument on why that's not true at all.

 

 

 

wow, even i'm not that bad, it's more like 70% or less, and some of them don't give much.

[Lakitsym_Rose]

Known as an Obby Maul Pure, I know of a Maxed one as well. Regardless he will undoubtedly train Range and Mage.

[T. Skill]

Wow can't believe I forgot about the Obby Maul pure #-o Yeah those might be the only "Strength Pures" left except for the fact that most of them have mage/range as well.

[NightHawK]

Uhh who cares?? Pures are fine, they enjoy a different aspect of the game. If pures were in the vast majority of runescape/tip fourms...uhh got random event and forgot what I was going to say...

Dont pull figures out of nowhere. No one knows the exact ammount, so dont just assume it. I dont care if 100% of the ones you met drop trade, some dont, for all we know alot dont.

 

 

 

And the pures with just high str are known as obby maul pures, and guess what, most of the time they are 31 prayer for the str pray, and item protect for the beserker neklace.

[blosssom2581]

unfortunately some pures commit the followings and give a bad impressions to others

 

 

 

(1) Drop trade: main=>pures (get supplies)

 

 

 

(2) kill others via deception

 

 

 

(3) take part in RWT to get cash for stakes/equipments/food... needed to pk

[wretched_axe]

Some pures are stupid, If the ko me with 25-25 they come to fally to say: noob, you got koed 25-25. but if i ate above the 50 hp i would have been a safer wouldn't i? It never seems to be right for them ( Not all pures are stupid, my friend is very nice tbh)

[Lee_Turrell]

All i want is for people to stop giving me a horrible attitude just because i'm a "noob pure" ?..

 

You wonder why some of us feel jaded from the mainstream of runescape society when people purposefully treat me worse than others because i don't have defence :-k

[C4SP3R]

I don`t have anything pures but its really s*cks when 10 lvl pure with 20 range tries to pk. :x Whats the point?

[Blingkachi50]

Methinks this will become a giant flame war...

 

 

 

+1

 

 

 

I don't hate pures the minute i see them. But it turns out that most pures are stuck up [wagon]. Most of the time when I'm fighting pures they go on about def noobs and such crap well i could go on about no def noob. Also alot of pures are always acting cocky in the wild well i would too if i was risking 50-200k which the pure can make back in a single pk.

[GrimHams]

Right, im not being overcritical when i say a good 75% of pures are jackasses, they think because they have no defence and risk 50k in the wild that this makes them somewhow better than everyone, almost all of them have a 3 word vocabulary which stems from "noob" variations to others such as "safer" because their specs didnt auto kill you. Its very easy to have a bad attitude and a big ego when you're in total junk, bring a glory for heavens sake and risk something.

 

 

 

Pures take very little skill, i've used one before and i've watched people pking as a pure, if you can spec at full health and still get a ko it isn't pking, more "whos got the best specs". 99% of pures drop trade from their main which unbalances the idea of lower levels working for their cash. Pures use pest control alot and they crash in on pc clans (im in heart unit, i know) most of them (yeah i'd say 85% of them) dont attack the portal thus ruining pest control worlds pretty quickly.

 

 

 

Pures also have annoying names that are so unbelievably unoriginal, they either have "i" surrounding their name or something referring to "spec k0 j00 p00nzors" which irritates me no end. I like originality and i believe runescapes most prized asset is that you can be original, the whole point of pures is to have similar stats to other pures which totally ruins the point of making one.

 

 

 

Its so ridiculous to see 2 pures who have spent over a year training just so they can pk 50k dds's off other pures who have exactly the same stats. A lot of pures (ok mains too) lure, i dont like the idea of literally stealing the pixels off someone who isn't there to fight and when i see a pure proud of luring a rare a part of gods spirit dies. Pures are generally bad losers, they've spent a long time (well not really, they pced their stats) getting their stats and when they lose they usually flame anyone in the vicinity, i've seen this as i alched from 85-94 mage over the space of a month or so and its sickening.

 

 

 

Pures have ruined pking from level 3-95 combat, to an extent when a pure gets defence (say to 45) this can go up to 101 cb (or near) and this has made pking in edge impossible if you haven't made an account specifically for pking. I would like for lower levels to walk into the wild and not get ambushed by these 2 iteming cowards, it would bring back a great pastime in runescape which was pking and not running into someone who can spec you dead straight away in a fight.

 

 

 

Oh btw im not talking about EVERY pure, just a lot of them, and its fair to say and if anyone says "OH YOU DONT HAVE PROOF" you can shh.

[Wingy77]

 

Lots of Pures aren't immature brats like you imagine all are. Personally I think most people hate them because they died to one at some point.

 

Rose

 

 

 

Okay firstly how could you think that we all think pures are immature? Most of us think pures are immature when instead of saying gf as they kill someone, they say "0wn3d3d n33b!!!!". The reason I dislike pures is that they think that they are uber and can own everyone, when really if they go against a tank, they get crushed. I'm talking about 1 def pures(2 def I guess for some odd reason.) Generally 45 def pures are actually intelligent people who say gf everytime they kill someone(from what I've seen). Besides, pures take up good training spots when they usually just end up quitting after they die and lose what, 200k?(Again 1 or 2 >.> def pures) Plus pures usually ruin pest control. They think that since they have high strength and attack or range, that they should be there and that they are effecient. They aren't. They ruin it for people who are actually there to train to get higher combat, not to waste time. Then of course they cry about everyone going to a new world because a bunch of pures came. Hence how a lot of us think they are immature.

[ashozzy2]

What really annoys me with pures are 4 main things.

 

 

 

1) The drop trade nearly everything from their mains so they can train magic or have alot of supplies

 

 

 

2) They very rarely go deeper than level 20 wilderness which annoys me as they aren't willing to loose the measly 5ks worth of items

 

 

 

3)They ruin PC

 

 

 

4)They have no honour and allways flame

[Ltje]

First: Please stop quoting that whole quotepiramid, or use at least spoiler tags. Its extremely annoying.

 

 

 

The point about pures is, there are 2 kinds of pures for me. Note, I dont PK or stake. Ones like the TS, who is just a normal, honest player. When I see him somewhere, I don't notice him as a pure, but just as a normal player, or maybe a skiller. Nothing wrong with that, maybe Ill become friends with one of those player some day, but up till then I have nothing special to do with them, there just players. I couldnt care less about how they trained their stats.

 

 

 

Then there is the idiot. You have pure idiots, and normal idiots. Normal idiots beg, scam and annoy. Pure idiots call everyone n00b for no reason at all. Def noob, pray noob, nooby noob, just about anything. They also have really annoying names, like "I pwnz0rsU2lumby I" or "illiIIIllLLLIii1iiiiiLLLiiiIIIiLLi1". THAT are the people who dislike. And the pure idiots always show very clearly they are pures. Honest pures don't show and brag that they are pures.

 

So thats how I dislike pures. I dont dislike you, because you arent a pure to me. Your just a player with other interests.

 

 

 

And most of the people here is talking about P2P pures. I suggest you to take a look with a level 5-10 character in world 1 varrock north. Its the worst place you could imagine. Pures everywhere. The bad ones I mean.

[SirHartlar]

I don't dislike pures, I have met some very nice pures who are articulate and polite. I treat them just the same as other players, and I won't start pointing fingers if they happen to have decent equipment. I think pures have the possibility to make money faster than me (i.e staking), so why should I be jealous if I have worse ranged bonuses than them?

 

 

 

I think people need to grow up, picking on pures is just immature. I am sure I would get flamed if I went and started a vendetta against skillers.

[King_Peter18]

I don't have a problem with Pures, its like a combat class in any other game.

 

 

 

How Jagex could fix the 'Pure Problem'? Make combat classes.

 

 

 

Why people wouldn't like it?

 

 

 

Because they wouldn't be free to train whatever [combat] skills they want too.

 

 

 

Therefore, the 'Pure' combat class will stay.

 

 

 

Why people hate 'Pures'?

 

 

 

Because, they think its a low level person looking for a fight, so they attack that person. But the person is more powerful than meets the eye, and they are beaten.

 

 

 

Is being a 'Pure' a cowardly tactic?

 

 

 

Yes and no.

 

 

 

Its like stealth, is being an invisible fighter cowardly?

 

 

 

What really annoys me with pures are 4 main things.

 

 

 

1) The drop trade nearly everything from their mains so they can train magic or have alot of supplies

 

 

 

2) They very rarely go deeper than level 20 wilderness which annoys me as they aren't willing to loose the measly 5ks worth of items

 

 

 

3)They ruin PC

 

 

 

4)They have no honour and allways flame

 

 

 

Generalization.

[mememe513]

I hate combat pures, but not skillers. People hate them because a lvl40 pure could hit 16 while also having a similar hit on range/magic. Most of us have all lost something to a pure(s) be it their armor, their weapon, their food, or their sanity. Pures are made for the player's enjoyment, in which case is defeating all comers in the wilderness. They play by the rules (because there are no rules), so why not do what they do? Be a prayer noob, bring teleport runes, safe. There are no rules in the wilderness, so you can bs or anything that abides by the game rules. Of course, bsing isn't always safe with large clans in multi-combat zones

[Lenticular_J]

you don't see the point. how did you get the stats to pk or stake? by drop trading materials.

This is my first RS2 Account. So I have never Drop-traded.

 

 

 

you cannot call me a coward for wearing armor, jagex made it so you could wear it.

 

JAGeX also made it so I can not wear Armour, and not Train Defence, did they not?

 

 

 

yes you are cowards for not wanting to fight on a lvl 80 account with 72 strength, if you actually fought with it anyway you would realise you do way higher damage than most people your lvl.

How does that make me a Coward? I ENJOY hitting 29s at 68 Combat. Do you enjoy hitting.. What? 20s?

 

 

 

i myself have 55 strength at cb 77, but even when i had 55 strength, 40 att, and 40 def in f2p i didn't pk. i don't try to take other peoples things to make money, it's basically the same as robbery.

The same as robbery! LMAO! I'm not even going to argue this. LMao... the same as Robbery..

 

 

 

with pures you have no chance oof losing except against another pure, and you won't get anything goood from them because they are too cowardly to lose their things, so they protect it.

A level 68 with 60 Attack, 62 Strength, hit's 24s with Dragon Scimitar. So while they are wailing on me with 10s-20s I am scratching their armour with 0s-10s. Their Defence for them is my Strength for me.

 

 

 

that's another example of pure cowardice, the only valuable item you can get is their weapon, and they use protect for it.

Uhhh. Yeah. I drop 150K when I die, Rune legs + Zerker Helm + DD = 150k? Even? Assuming I was an average Pure with 25+ Prayer, if I die I lose 50K, now unless you assume I hit constant 25s on your Full Rune, I have a pretty slim chance of winning.

 

This is why people think pures are immature idiots that think they're better. To feel good about themselves, they put others down. If you can't understand that you're a stuck up brat when you act like this, please....Just leave :?

[andybrann]

I dont really hate pures, but I think that people hate pures because most of them have NO respect for other players, and their most used sentence is "0mgz my main ows j00!!" Thats probably the reason.

[Lenticular_J]

 

you've met, what 5? well mannered pures am i correct? about 1/6 of runescape accounts that are not banned or macroers are pures. that's about 500000 pures, let's say half of these are a second pure created by someone. so you have about 375k people with pures. if your friendss list was full with these that would make 200 well mannered pures, plus probably 300 more. thats 0.13333333% of all pures who are well mannered. you cannot apply that to anyone else, because most high leveled people have been playing for more than 3 years, even if they played 3 hours a day which isn't nolifing, that's almost 1000 hours. if they no lifed, they would probably all have over 10 99s. most level 3s nowadays are macroers, there are few skillers that lvl, they usually raise it to avoid being macro reported, and most new people think raising combat is the only way to go. you're taking statements completely out of nowhere, while pures being rude is generally accepted, and has been out there for a long time.

 

 

 

Lmao @ you thinking that he only knows 5 Pures. Chances are he knows 15-30+.

 

 

 

I know 63 respectful Pures. Your views are completely skewed because you most likely died to a Pure.

 

Sorry for the (well, kinda) double post #-o

 

But come on....All you ever say is "You're biased for dying to a pure." Make a real argument, all you're doing is helping us think pures are jerks that think they're better than others. Just because you've killed non-pures you think everyone dies to pures because they're so all-powerful.

 

And you say OUR views are skewed? Raise your combat level/defense level just a little bit, go talk to a pure ANYWHERE, and you have above a 70% chancew of being bombarded with "Defense noob!" "Fight me, I own you!" "126 you have no life noob I own you!" etc.

[Fairness]

^Actually, it was Rose who was right. Rareghoul did put up five packs of bull for arguments. "Same as robbery" was pretty good though, in the humor value :D All you do, Rareghoul, is just pull some random number out of your pie hole and throw them around thinking you are perfectly correct. Who are you to think someone knows X respectable pures or that X percent of the whole community is pures?

 

Also, to a few things. What is so bad about drop-trading? The fact that it is impossible to report as everyone will just deny it, so you cannot get proof. I bet if it was possible to report drop traders, nobody would whine. But tell me now, does drop trading make you bad? What do you have to do if you won't drop trade? Make money... and that's nothing enjoyable, though there is one f2p thing that needs no skills to make good money with, air running. Thus you are saving no time, maybe.

 

 

 

Why pures have no respect for other players? Pures are a goddamn heap of pixels you control, so this is out of the question. It is the idiot behind the computer who might be very disrespectful, but then again, "It's better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than speak and clear all doubt about it."

 

Why pures are thought so bad? Because they are built to be one of the most effective pkers. That means they own many people and if they die, they don't lose much. That's not cowardice, that's efficiency. I don't run from giant rats because I'm scared of them, but because I don't wanna waste time fighting them. There. And as people don't like it when others own them, they start whining. It is cowardice if you run as a pure with only your rune scimitar being risked (other than the useless stuff) if it is an agreed DM, but then again those pures must be failures.

 

And about their idiotic name, people have idiotic names IRL (I have heard of one guy in my country, his name read together basically means "I take a piss". So you flame him?), and though you can choose here, I can hardly think you are concerned about their idiotic name when you are risking your life against one of them.

 

 

 

I don't have a problem with pures.

I wouldn't say its the person behind the pixels ONLY, because most of these people are friendly enough on their mains that aren't great at killing other people, when they make a pure and beat a few people the sudden power goes to their head and they become really arrogant. Im of course not saying this for all pures but for some.

[Lenticular_J]

In all Fairness (haha, get it? :) ), some of what you are saying is right. But the whole "random numbers" thing? Not true. If you were in Calculus or a class like that, it wouldn't be hard to see that those numbers were totally, logically found. But I'm also gonna wash my hands of this...Feel like taking a nap :

[UltimoHobo]

Now, my experience with pures is fairly limited. My only experiences with them was when I tried at Rock Crabs, when I go rcing or when I'm training on monsters in busier areas.

 

 

 

In no way am I saying that every pure is like this, I'm sure that many are like those who I've seen on this thread, thoughtful and generaly nice. It's just that to date I've not had the luck to meet one of these in game.

 

 

 

What annoys me most about pures is their attitudes. The fact that if my strength is lower than theirs, they will flame me. If my range is lower than theres, they will flame me. Because my prayer is higher than theirs, and I choose to use it, they will flame me.

 

 

 

Another thing that I find irritaing is rc pkers. These pures often have very little skill. I'm yet to run into a rc pker who has both tbed me and entangled. In any other situation I will escape, yet many don't realize. Why do they choose to waste their time trying to pk a defenceless target, with 0 prayer and no food, when they could easily make the money for a glory in (at most) half an hour? They're only wasting my time and theirs.

 

 

 

Finally, I dislike the way they expect you to lay down and be killed. Terms such as "safer" and "prayer noob" are often heard from pures. They dislike anybody who fights back, or tries to protect the items they worked hard for. They can't accept that while they train str and att to hit hard, some people are training prayer instead. I find that most pures hate anything to do with balanced combat.

 

 

 

But I will repeat, in case some people missed it *I don't think that this is every pure in the game, just those who I've unfortunatly had to meet*. I'm sure that if I were to look deeper into the pure community, I would find polite and decent pures, but that's not the point. I've met these pures, who sadly seem to be the majority, and that's why I dislike them.

[rareghoul1]

95% of pures drop trade maybe more, and dont say you dont because i know you all do.

see that's why a lot of us don't like pures, they say noob if you don't skull yourself in the wilderness, then use protect item to protect theirs. look nobody has a problem with the concept of pures, but why they're made and the person behind them is what bugs us.
