Macroer solution that might actually work!

[The Observer]

Change yew trees so that they have a required total level! It will make it harder for macroers as they only focus on one skill only. It won't hurt skillers or normal players because they train other skills anyway. I need suggestions on total level requiremets. Maybe 700? It will make it harder for macroers to get at the yews because they will have to train all of their skills. 500 seems pretty good now. What do you guys think?

700 seems a bit high, and thats especially high for lv 3 skillers in f2p, they would never be able to cut yews, unless they get every non-cb to incredible high levels

[The Observer]

I'm still open on suggestions for the total level requirement. Is 500 a bit better?

 

 

 

Afterall we can't make it too low because the lower it is, the more autoers there will be.

[hatebringer]

yeah, 500 is a bit better, but macros are tough, and they would still try to auto, but once they start losing accounts with 500 total, they may decide its too long to get 500 to cut yews, so in some ways it would help, but there is always a few people who will continue, no matter what JAGex does

 

 

 

so i support.

 

 

 

I still think a few j mods should run to every yew tree and give IP bans to everyone thats autoing, but thats just me :

What if I just want to raise my woodcutting level? I don't think it's going to go down well with the level 3 skillers.

 

 

 

And how do we know that these autoers/macroers won't just start autoing their other stats as well? Spreading the disease even further than it already is.. :XD:

Other skills are harder to auto. Maybe we can make it so that you have to be a certain total level to enter an area?

[Drakolord7]

I support :thumbup:

[leebrave]

Some would continue but i think this would make them few in numbers

[Garion11]

What about people who just wc???

skillers really need to do something with their lives. i really like this idea, i support.

[The Observer]

I'm still open on suggestions for the requirement. But, remember: The lower the total level, the more autoers.

[monkfish101]

Against the idea

 

 

 

It would negate the point of training woodcutting.

[highlanders]

This is really weird, too weird to work imo.

 

If you do this for woodcutter, you might aswell do it for Rc, fishing, etc. Where are you going to get total lvls if you need total lvls for everything?

 

 

 

I can picture some lvl 50 going "Wtf waht why cant i kill the yew?" Haha would be hilarious.

[Coffee234]

Nah, good try but I don't think this is better.

no way. im a level 3 skiller, try more like 200. that would be a better number.

500 total level, 700 total lv, they are all unrealistic. Let's take a look at the non-members break up of skills...

 

 

 

combat_

 

Attack

 

Strength

 

Defese

 

hitpoints

 

Range

 

Mage

 

Prayer

 

 

 

Non-combat Non-members

 

Cooking

 

Woodcutting

 

Fishing

 

Firemaking

 

Crafting

 

Smithing

 

Mining

 

Runecrafting

 

 

 

If you can count, that's 7 combat skills, and 8 non combat skills...

 

 

 

Since autoers would not train any combat skills, they would have to get an average level of 87.5 for a total lv of 700 to cut yews, and a total level of 62.5 in all non-combat skills to cut yews at a 500 total cap.

 

 

 

Way unrealistic! But it's worse yet! WHY? AUTOERS WOUND NOT TRAIN;

 

Crafting, firemaking, Cooking, and runecrafting! So it is imposible for them to get by, but so is it for regular f2pers! Most poeple never train their prayer, and may train only their range, defense, and hitpoints out of the combat skills, and only a couple of the non-combat skills! This idea is soooo horible, that I can barely describe it; Autoers ARE going away, what with the reluctance of people to buy gold now, and when I buy yew logs now to train fletching, I often buy them in 50's and 100's from regular players.

 

 

 

Now, say, if you put the maximum at 250, this would perhaps be better, but only if people regularly banned autoers.

People will have to work a little bit harder to get at yews. Maybe 300 total then..

I disagree with your choice of words. I am now 100% Pure Skiller. Pure Skillers do NOT have to change what they do!

 

Some people don't train prayer! Or farming! (Etc) Pure skillers have a choice on what to train, and what to do. They are human, unlike your selfish idioticy*

....Prayer isn't a combat skill....

....Prayer isn't a combat skill....

Prayer raises combat level. #-o

No it doesn't. My skiller has 5 prayer, no combat level higher than 3 =]

[Scars]

No it doesn't. My skiller has 5 prayer, no combat level higher than 3 =]

Let me know what happens when you raise another prayer level..

[RayOxide]

I did *Hmph* still level 3

[Scars]

I did *Hmph* still level 3

Really? :uhh:

 

 

 

Seems like the tip.it calculator wasn't right. So yeah, another pray level would definitely be level 4 combat.
