Tutorial Island: Should it be optional?

[hybrid2hell]

So, many people say that tutorial island should be optional. Im kind of on the fence for this. If tutorial island was optional, then stuff like making new accounts would be much faster. Unfortunatly, it would be faster for autoers too. What are your thoughts on this?

 

 

 

Post away :)

No it's an important step.

 

 

 

Not only does it slow down autoing accounts a significant amount; be honest when you started would you have done it if it was opional?

 

 

 

Personally I would have not done it as I had no intention of playing to a large degree... I would have been lost in the game and would probaly have quite far before I became a member. That would be ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã34.40 for 3 years (and running) and I am just one customer!

 

 

 

Jagex would probaly lose money without the island.

The island is a very important part of the game. If you dont do it, your really missing out, and it makes a autoers life hard.

[hybrid2hell]

What if it had something like "Tutorial Island: Strongly suggested for new players"

[Triforceelf]

Then the autoers would all skip it and everyone who thought they were uber l33t would as well. Hmm. That would have mixed benifits.

[highlanders]

It doesn't make the autoers' life harder, don't be so silly. They have bots to complete the tutorial for them, they don't even have to look or give a care about it.

the tutorial teaches people to play, we don't need any people who breeze through and then ask how to walk.

While Jagex doesn't mind you creating new accounts all that much, don't take that nonchalance so far as to say that Tut Island should be removed to suit the "needs" of people who create new accounts like it's an OCD. What's wrong with just 1 account?

 

 

 

I used to have that previously mentioned OCD. I think most people go through that phase. I would always make a new account once it got too boring to level an old one. I think it keeps giving people a feeling of accomplishment once they gain like 10 levels in 20 minutes on a new account.

[Chazimcgee]

I believe that Tutorial Island should not be optional, it should be mandatory because it slows down autoers and new players would become more of a newb by asking basic things to other players that they would have learnt in tut island.

 

 

 

All in all tutorial island is good :)

Agreed, i also think there should be a tutorial island for when you become a member as well. This will only need to be done the first time you become a member. But i think its needed.

[unkn0wnwarrior]

Tutorial Island is definitely needed and therefore should be mandatory. As mentioned, it slows autoers (even if just a bit) and teaches the basics, as well.

That is actually a good idea, though not the first time I have seen it.

Thats actually a great idea. When I became a member I had no idea what to do.

Tutorial island for when you become a member would be great. I doubt new members know much about leveling herblore, slayer, hunter ect.

I've been wanting too make a skiller but i just didn't wanna do tutorial island. But if they made it optional autoers would make more accounts. Maybe they should put a limit 4 accounts made per IP adress maybe like 5 per IP?

[Locutus_Of_Borg]

Like I said, why should Tutorial Island be removed to please those that just want to skip it on a new account they made? The fact that you already know how to play and just making another account doesn't entitle you to skipping it. RuneScape isn't meant to be played with more than 1 account, and so if you make another do another account, it will be treated as if it was your first and only account.

All the arguments against this can be fixed easily:

 

 

 

To skip tutorial island, you have to put in the user name and password of an account you own that has already completed it. That way everybody does it at least once, and if a macro does it, they have their accounts linked together so when they get caught, they all get banned.

and have it so you can only bypass tutorial island once per week per account.

[maddudy]

should keep it

 

only really there to slow down bots

[RayOxide]

I think it shouldn't be optional. If you think about this...

 

 

 

When a person makes a new account with the same email as the last one, it should give the option.

 

 

 

If not, off to TI they go.

Agreed.

 

 

 

Or you could make it so that you can go back to tutorial island, of course you won't gain any exp, otherwise it would be far too easy to train combat - you never die there.

[Master_Smither]

NO WAY!

 

 

 

I would have been so lost without it. It shows the fundementals of runescape without it would u know how to run?

 

 

 

Also it would make macros soooooooooooo easy to make.

Did you even read my post?

[lief473]

I'm half and half. I would like it optional but then more bots and noobs coming out of the wazoo (wth is a wazoo idk)

Its your [wagon].

 

 

 

And why would you want to axe tutorial island anyway? If nothing else you can get a couple quick levels since everying is so easy to get.

[The Observer]

This wouldn't be very good at all. Tutorial Island shows the basic fundamentals of RuneScape. Without it, new players would be completely lost.

 

 

 

Not only that, but there will be more autoers. They would multiply crazily.
