Here I am, cutting Yew logs in F2P(credit ran out) and thinking what could stop, or just delay those darn Macro'ers?

 

 

 

An integral feature of Classic was Fatigue. Those who don't know much about it for some reason or another, i'll explain it here. (Or go to this link)

 

 

 

[hide=A summary of Fatigue]Fatigue is a type of Meter, or Limit that starts from 0% to 100%. Every action you did, being either Skilling, or just walking around, would raise your Fatigue Meter by a small amount, once you hit 100% Fatigue however, you could no longer do any action until you "Slept", either by a Sleeping Bag, or a Bed. The screen would show how much Fatigue you had left(going downwards) a CAPTCHA and a text box where you will have to enter the word in the CAPTCHA in.[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

Now, introducing Fatigue just as this, ignoring the other skills would be fairly inappropriate, so I'm suggesting this:

 

Your skills, may it be Combat, or the skills unrelated in Production and Manufacturing (a.k.a. Skills boosted by "Yellow" Spiced Stews) would effect the rate of Fatigue rising, just say 99 in all Combat and the Yellow Spiced effecteds, would take lets just say 2 hours to get to 100% Fatigue.

 

 

 

Having it only affected from these skills would slow down Auto-miners and WC'ers and fishers, which are the 3 main types of Raw item producing as most of them would have to rest every, lets say 30 Mins.

 

 

 

There are also ways the CAPTCHAs hard to input.

 

1 having the input box in random places (random still is patterned, just hard to distinguish) with random borders.

 

2, the CAPTCHA could be similar to how the Doc. Ford R/E, either it be moving around in a radial direction, or just jumbling.

 

3 The text to be inputted would have certain pixels or lines obscuring some parts of the text, but sitll making them legible.(See the Hotmail password recovery process.

 

4 Alphanumeric AND Case Sensitive. Random word lengths would be included too. Essentially 26+26+10 and Permutations of it to a length of lets say 13. A minimum length of 5 would effectively lower the amount of variables possible, and make it easier for the legit players.

 

 

 

With all this information I have provided, how would you react to this being uploaded into the game?

Skilling would be ALOT harder then it is now adays. I don't think the people who actually play Rs will think kindly about it because they couldn't no life train. 99's would be harder and such and it would stop autoer for a day or 2 but nothing much it might slow the market and such.

 

 

 

Don't think it will ever happen.

 

 

 

But i suport

 

 

 

I remember having to sleep in RSC it was fun.

I think fatigue only stopped you from gaining more xp, not from getting resources? #-o

sounds like it would work pretty well and I'd have no problem with reintroducing the fatigue system back into rs although the reason it was removed by JaGex when they released rs2 may have been that it didn't really work but I believe that would be because of the fact the poster above me, Green_Link, pointed out in that it only stopped the gain of exp but not the actual use of the skill therefor if reintroduced it would have to be made in such a way that it halts the increase of exp as well as the ability to continue to use the effected skills until the player has restored their fatigue to 0%

It has been done before and won't slow down autoers.

 

 

 

Jagex removed it since people found a way around it. I know, I was part of the cheating community during that time.

I'd be fine with it, since I'm quite used to it, coming from classic. Just a sidenote though, you don't get fatigue by walking, just from doing skills and fighting.

personally i think it would be a good idea, skills are just way to easy to raise, but the younger community and the pking community would be outraged so i dont think jagex would ever do it

Well i support, hopefully it will be the return of the "Sleeping Bag" Yay!

 

I miss that Sleeping Bag...

 

 

 

But then again it will slow me down

 

 

 

Oh well, I mainly support to see the Sleeping Bag again...

From what I understand, in Classic it was a big annoyance and didn't do enough to warrant it being in the game. But if Jagex were to seriously contemplate fatigue, I'm sure they can find wonderful ways to implement it without having normal players suffer.

I LOVED fatique!

 

 

 

Sleeping Bags FTW!

 

 

 

oh... supported :XD:

Macroers will just switch between accounts that have not suffered fatigue yet.

lol no macroers will find a way around

All this will do is delay cool updates and do absolutely nothing to Macroers. The cheating community is constantly updating and this would be the easiest thing to bypass. Good idea but, bad idea at the same time.

CAPTCHA has been proven ineffective in and outside of RS. There were several OCR's available for RSC and if this came out there would just be several available for RS2.

 

 

 

I am completely against the idea.

Skilling would be ALOT harder then it is now adays. I don't think the people who actually play Rs will think kindly about it because they couldn't no life train. 99's would be harder and such and it would stop autoer for a day or 2 but nothing much it might slow the market and such.

I have to laugh at people like this.. : So what if it's harder? It's a game.. It's not meant to be easy. Obviously you must be one of those no life trainers that would be affected by a bit of challenge in skilling... And then you say "Don't think it will ever happen", only to follow it up with saying you support it? Lol... What the hell is wrong with you, bud? You either support it and hope it will happen, or you don't support it and keep your mouth shut. You can't just say "oh this wil n3ver hapen" and support the idea. :lol: Please.. Use your brain.

 

 

 

It's a fine idea. Makes the game more realistic. Whoever heard of a man being able to hack at a tree for 3 hours straight without stopping?

 

 

 

 

 

lol no macroers will find a way around

 

 

 

Lol, please do enlighten us on those great ways around it. :roll: Unless you know anything about macro programming, you can't say squat about what they can or can't do.
