Fun - An alien word to us now?

[wild_goat_14]

Odd that this would come up. I recently tried going for a very thieving level.. very high.. :wink: anyway I quit it because when I was playing it felt more like work, and if you play to work what's the point?

 

 

 

I honestly think Thieving is one of the best skills out there, but each to his own.

 

 

 

Anyways, I still have fun while I skill, I find it fun to set a goal and go for it.

[DeadPolkaDots1]

I'm thinking of taking another break from RS. I feel oblighed to train gruelling skills now a days when I log on. I do do things I find fun (Slayer)but after doing so much I feel *bad* about neglecting other skills with pathetic levels. It just doesn't have the same appeal any more. :|

[blakdragon39]

I would love to get a 99 :D. Why haven't I even bothered getting a 90+ skill? Cause it really wouldn't be fun... I do what I feel like doing, when I feel like doing it on Runescape :P. Not everyone has lost the fun in the game.

 

 

 

However I must agree, the first day I played, and the first days I got members were much better :(. So much to explore and learn... I miss it :( lol.

[book_of_metal]

i like doing alot of things, like fletching (as you can see) but as soon as i get good the fun goes away from that skill so i have to move onto another

[Nero]

If it isn't fun anymore, why do you keep playing :|.

 

 

 

I never said it wasn't fun for me?

[Rebdragon]

Fun = Ice bursting in cw with 5 friends and getting called a noob as you kill 10 kids at a time :lol:

 

No no, Ice Barraging with a group of people you've never met in your life, and getting called a noob as you kill 40 kids at a time.

 

 

 

Now that's fun. Got boring after a while, but the 94 Magic thing kept me in the game for the last few months :) . That, and DK's, but obviously, like everything, it gets boring after a while #-o .

 

 

 

Everyone likes everything in the beginning. Heck, I actually loved skilling for my first few months of playing. Different parts of the game slowly get boring at different rates for everyone (decently fast for myself), and thus everyone has different periods of time before they decide to quit, but it happens to everyone eventually :| .

Which is as it seems alot of people around these boards are going through right now, what im gonna call, "the final boredom" phase, as at least it seems to me we are losing a good bit of people around these boards. Or maybe its just people I know for a change :|

 

 

 

But yes with the boredom that finally sets in or the arrival of or the curiosity of trying something else out. Whether it be, turning your real life around, or just finding another game to play, either way everyone will reach that point.

 

 

 

Which brings me to my point of I wont be around here as much myself either.

 

 

 

Xbox360 > Runescape :XD:

WHY MERCHANT IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO ENJOY THE MONEY?!

 

T

 

 

 

some people enjoy doing that, however if they don't they should stop and go do something they find fun, even if it means logging off and playing something.

[Eaviljosh89]

Ive been playing on and Off for 4 years.

 

 

 

I take a break (Then updates come through - 9 months ect)

 

Then play again, and its like a whole new game ;)

[malo2]

Well I'm just thinking...why the hell did you make this thread? To teach us all to have fun instead of playing?

 

 

 

We all know that playing runescape is supposed to be fun, and it is, and thats why we play it. Why else do you think we get 99 stats? Seriously, what the hell were you thinking when you made this thread and started telling us how to have fun? and that we shouldn't play runescape (aka achieve the goal of the game)? Do me a favor and just shut up =;

 

 

 

For the first time in a while, I feel somewhat offended.

[meb]

Well part of the fun is achievign the level. I didn't enjoy my Agility training, but it's fun to know that there are only 4219 players with more Agility xp than me :) . The same goes for RC'ing. I don't really enjoy it, but with the cash I can buy stuff I will enjoy.

[Goobore]

If it isn't fun anymore, why do you keep playing :|.

 

Well, that's the problem...

 

 

 

Not all of us will keep on playing.

 

 

 

Players that get bored with endless skill grinding and quit

 

only hurt the ability of Jagex to further develop the game.

 

 

 

Players will stay if there is enough entertaining content and/or satisfaction for them...

I guess you win :lol:

 

I'm thinking about when I get 99 hunter, I'll sell all teh chins for ice bursts for cw ....maybe

Xbox360 > Runescape :XD:

 

Yes, the Xbox360 rules, but the real fun of the game comes when you go to Xbox live.

 

 

 

Too bad the only people there are 14-year-old male immature morons with ego's the size of Canada.

 

 

 

I mean, I need to cooperate with them to play, and thus talk with them, but GOD do the need a frikking "SHUT UP" button.

There are plenty of other threads you can read instead, and I'm not telling people how to have fun or to have fun, I just felt like posting this because it's really starting to tick me off how many people are just so serious about this game.

 

 

 

Now do me a favour and next time don't post unless you have something worthwhile saying. Thanks.

Not all 14 year olds are immature. Most who play the game are, but there are many cases in which that is not true. You only notice the immature ones, because when someone comes up and steals the monster you're killing, you say "You know 8 year olds aren't allowed to play runescape, right?", and they say "im 14 n00b". That gives you the impression that all 14 year olds are immature, and act like they're 8.

No, but the ones on Xbox Live are :-w . (Xbox Live- it seems you're talking about Runescape).

I wouldn't know about xbox-live because I dont have a 360 yet

 

 

 

 

 

But I'm getting a job in a few weeks, and I get to build my own "room" in my giant back yard. It's gunna have a fold out couch/bed, a fridge/freezer, a 360 elite, a tv, and a microwave. It's like moving out, without moving \ :D

Well first of all, you are an idiot.

 

 

 

Let me make it clear: People take every game seriously, because its a game, and they have fun playing it. Yes you are telling people how to have fun, because apparently you don't seem to agree with how people enjoy runescape. It's pretty simple and obvious, you have fun by raising stats, competing with friends, and achieving the general goals of the game. If you don't like that idea, then instead of telling people to go your way, you should just stop playing.

 

 

 

Now do me a favour and next time don't post unless you have something worthwhile saying. Thanks.

do you realize how ironic that statement is? I have a better one for you, use a minimum of three brain cells before pressing the "post new topic/reply" button.

[PastyGangsta]

He's right though, most 14 year olds that play xbox live are idiots, they take it WAY too seriously.

 

 

 

If you log onto xbow live its the same as going to a F2P world with a whip on. You get this:

 

 

 

ZOMG!!! 1 C4n s0 0WnS U N00b!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway: I like Construction so I'm going for 90 Cons!! Woo!!! The only problem is I'm pretty poor. Somehow Cons doesn't bore me very quick like fletching and fishing, so I might actually get it done. \ Then you all can come to my house party. :D

 

 

 

Edit: If you invite any noobs you aren't allowed into my party, its Mature Tip.it'ers only!! :thumbsup:

[creinstein]

I wouldn't play if I wasn't having fun, even if a task seem dull, I have the feeling of achievement when it is done.

I guess I wouldn't know :P

 

 

 

I'm 14 btw, but most people say I'm very mature for my age, and most people assume I'm 15+ when I talk to them online (if I havn't met them irl obviously).

 

 

 

I wouldn't play if I wasn't having fun, even if a task seem dull, I have the feeling of achievement when it is done.

 

 

 

Exactly. Just because I dont have fun making that 9mil for full guthans, doesn't mean I dont get a sense of achievement, or dont have fun with it afterwards.

 

 

 

And about merchants:

 

 

 

They make money so they can buy what ever they want. Dont tell me you wouldn't have more fun if you could just buy what you want.

If you yourself are having fun then great, that's awesome, this thread isn't directed towards you then. And besides, this thread isn't really directed towards anyone in particular, I just felt like throwing this out there instead of having another random topic like:

 

"Wen did u start playing RS?!?//!1" or other similar one word reply topics.

 

 

 

 

 

do you realize how ironic that statement is? I have a better one for you, use a minimum of three brain cells before pressing the "post new topic/reply" button.

 

 

 

I could say the exact same thing to you. I don't understand how or why you got offended by me and I'm sorry if I somehow did as it isn't my intention to get anybody upset, I just wanted to get this off my chest and out there.
