Mr_Cheese Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Sorry if there is already a topic on this. Recently Jagex has added in a string x, probly because of the numerous rants of peopel saying how they have hurt there wrists and such. i was wondering, who likes this update? i prefered the old way because i could string 3k bows an hour but with string x i can only do 1500 at the max. so what are your opinions on string x? Thanks SkyFleet for the awsome siggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrrell9 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I dont like it personally. It is a lot easier, but also quite a bit slower. It would be good if we were maybe given an option (although i can't see it happening) of which method we want to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winner8212 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 String X is probably to satisfy those ppl who like to do something on RS, then Alt-tab n do sth else, n check back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I think it was a good decision, Jagex knows the new method slows down Fletching, I believe it was their intention to do so. Before the change you could get crazy Xp with Fletching = too many people with 99 Fletching. Once again, I blame it soley on the 'damn skill cape chasers'.[/hate of people who get easy 99s just to show off] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emp75 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The update makes getting 99 fletching slower, thats a good thing because before it was too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbellz Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I like string-x. It's fairly fast, I don't get my wrist screwed up, and I can browse TIF a little more when I'm fletching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinoking Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's retarted. So people before me could get 99 Fletching fast but now I'm suppose to have even more time. Lame. I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastyGangsta Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It was too easy before, now this makes it a bit more of an accomplishment to have 99 Fletching. Its still boring as hell though :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honoured Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I dislike all of these do 'X' commands. They're making RuneScape far too easy, and it doesn't make you appreciate the Skills which have do 'X' commands as much as you did when they weren't around. Cooking and now Fletching in particular. If it was due to the reason that many people complained that their wrist was hurting, and they had minor injuries from it.. There's always such thing as a break? - Honoured :.

d3nic Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well now I'm nearly 99 fletching, and I can't say that I see the new stringing method as a problem. The main thing I like about it now is that I can read the forums and also string ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honoured Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The main thing I like about it now is that I can read the forums and also string ! This is what I mean. It's getting far too easy. You don't even need to be looking at the screen... to achieve a 99 Skill? A 99 Skill should be hard effort and earnt in a true way, not in a way where it's getting far too easy. So easy, that you can do something else while gaining a huge amount of EXP per hour. No disrespect to you, though. - Honoured :. Need A Question Answered About RuneScape? Message Me!

A 99 Skill should be hard effort and earnt in a true way, not in a way where it's getting far too easy. So easy, that you can do something else while gaining a huge amount of EXP per hour. Oh come on. You cannot possibly be claiming that the old click-bow-click-string method involved any more effort than that required to overcome the mind-numbing tedium of performing that action thousands of times? This way is far better, because it helps mitigate the tedium of repetitive action while still requiring the dedication of someone willing to ensure their character keeps doing it - in fact, given that it takes longer, it requires more dedication. I'm not that dedicated, and so I don't have any 99s. However, I respect people who are that dedicated, regardless of the method they used to achieve them.

I agree, Runescape is getting too easy. even though I'm a skiller noob and smith-x, string-x isn't going to hurt me. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
