Which deserves more leveling credit? F2P or P2P?

[Dragon_lord]

Please do not start a F2P vs P2P flame war.

 

 

 

Here's one for you: Should you get more credit for leveling in F2P or in P2P?

 

We keep hearing how easier it is to level in P2P, but F2P has fewer levels to train.

 

So which do you believe it is?

[NJE03]

Simple enough; Less ways to level, slower exp rates, combine with weaker method - F2P is clearly slower and therefore harder - ESPECIALLY in regards to combat.

[dtbrehm]

f2p prayer?

 

 

 

enough said. #-o

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

Almost 1000 total levels, and 86 combat. Never been member, or owned a member account.

[Deathman95]

Well, a wise person once said that time equals money... its easier to level smithing when you can buy all the ores right? And its easier to level cooking when you can buy the ingriedence right? And when you stop and look, f2p is generally poorer then p2p... p2p easily wins this debate, and members have more guilds, more training areas, more monsters, more xp locations (such as more trees for wc in certain areas or PC) and the list goes on and on...

[hybrid2hell]

This is the most obvious question EVER asked :wall:

[suyihai0]

Just try to level rc and prayer in f2p. Ahh

[Triforceelf]

P2P is way harder. I mean, you have to decide which quests to do to get massive EXP in way more skills. you also have way more stuff to do and then you also have all those super easy member ways to level.

While the title does ask which is harder to level, what he asks here is which deserves more credit. And while yes it is easier on members because of more options, that doesn't answer which gets more credit.

 

 

 

PS: I recommend you change your title. I think people are missing the point.

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

I'm F2P, and I think that doing things the harder way, even though it's stupider as well, deserves more credit.

 

 

 

Getting to the ultimate goal of a combat level of 126 as a pure nonmember deserves more than a PC Product member, don't you think?

I fail to see how it is stupid. Some people appreciate the challenge of it being "harder".

 

 

 

Totally agree about the getting lv126 a F2P deserving more credit than the same as P2P. Reason being it takes much more time and determination.

F2P Definatly is harder to level up in.

 

Although there are less skills to train, which means your time is less spread out over skills, there are also less ways to train those skills.

 

 

 

And to locutus who said = "..deserves more than a pc product member..."

 

 

 

Not all members max combat by using pest control. Although i do agree that a maxed combat f2p does deserve more respect than a maxed member, pest control product or otherwise.

Congratulations! :D

 

 

 

It is clear that F2P is harder to level in, but a level is a level no matter where achieved.

[pkinyou]

As long as you have a TON of money, in F2P or P2P, it's going to be easy to level. Although, in my opinion, it is most definetly harder to lvl in F2P.

Dunno, 99 prayer trough big bones vs 99 prayer trough dragon bones and best altar.

[gotjello]

f2p by far because in members u can do more quests that give u xp on things. Also pest control gives u pts that can give u more xp. Plus in members u can get weps that hit higher along with prayer and pots.

[Master_Smither]

F2p for sure!

 

 

 

We have PC and tons of other things to give us free XP they barely have anything :|

 

 

 

Also ever tried to RC in f2p without runners

[Solidus_77]

You need to be more specific. Each skill is different and most skills are harder to get in F2P with the exception of fishing and woodcutting since the most efficient methods can be done in both p2p and f2p. (this is fishing salmon/trout for fishing and cutting willows for woodcutting). The only difference is that F2P don't get much choice.

 

 

 

For smithing and firemaking, there is one method (in each of the two skills) that can be done in p2p or f2p. (steel bars made into platebodies, or burning maple/yew logs) However I do not think this counts, since these method both are expensive and p2p have way more options for getting cash. This implies that F2P will take longer to level up both those skills because they will take longer to get the cash and therefore they are harder to do in F2P. (*Note*: this also supports my explanation of why the time taken to get materials is included in time taken to get the levels in a "buyable" skill.)

 

 

 

For all the other skills however, p2ps have a more efficient system available to them.

[Denismage]

F2P, hands down.

[Dracion1]

I would say F2P, as they have fewer way of training their skills. Members have everything F2P has plus a lot extra, so I would say F2P would get a lot more credit for getting a 99 then say someone on P2P.

[highlanders]

Lol, titled changed?

 

 

 

F2ps deserve more credit:

 

- They gotta endure the horrible f2p community

 

- They gotta lvl using the most long and boring methods

Haha, the first thing on my mind was Runecrafting :XD: . But really, if you try to craft about 5k essence, you will be called a macro atleast 5 times.

First one is soooo true, the second one, not always.

[Alg]

well, a lot of quick 'power'levelling strategies exist in both f2p and members...

 

-most p2pers are going to use willows for exp

 

fly fishing exists in free play, and banks can occasionally be closer than at shilo

 

-there are almost no members-only smithing techniques (except gold gauntlets, buy you're sitting at a furnace for 200k+ bars... easier to smelt mithril

 

-prayer and combat, yes

 

-for magic, alching steel plates is f2p, isn't it? (don't go on about nature crafting- how many p2p 99 mages actually made all of their supplies?)

 

-firemaking, maple logs are f2p items, the trees aren't though.

 

cooking- there's a great free method floating around in the guides section somewhere

 

-mining, you've got iron.

 

-runecrafting, world 16 is free, and no risk of being pked unless you get horribly lost.

 

 

 

so a lot of techniques that members use to speed level are available freely. it can be harder, but only if you make it that way.

That made me laugh. :lol:
