Dino_Da_Gino Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ok, so I've been ranging at the Lathas ogres since saturday (going for 99 range), and every once in a while someone sets up a freaking cannon and totally freezes out everyone else, stealing all the xp. And during the day, it's hard enough to find a non-packed world. So when someone comes and sets a cannon up, it's so annoying. I had a world all to myself once and this guy logs in and goes "sorry man" and sets up his stupid [wagon] cannon. Ugh. This has happened more than a few times. I hate when people do this, it's so inconsiderate of other people. This one jerk today even goes "thers nuthin u can do about it lol." Pff, idiot. Ugh, anyway, had to let that out. Makes me want to find where they live and smash their faces in with a hammer. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Or, you know, you could wait until the cannon went around and take a monster with a free 30 damage on it for you. Trust me, there are much worse things in Runescape than cannon-users. If you work with them, you can get the same amount of experience per hour while getting even more drops than usual, and who doesn't want that? Though, I havn't played Runescape in a few months, so I'm sure there's got to be at least one flaw with my argument :-k .

Dino_Da_Gino Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Your argument makes no sense. I'm getting ogres at a slower rate with a cannon user than without one. I don't want ogres that are damaged, I want whole ogres for the xp. And with someone using a cannon and ranging on their own, they get the majority of them. Plus, when someone is shooting ogres with a cannon, I can't even attack them. There are worse things, and I know that... but right now I'm ranging, and this is what is annoying me.

highlanders Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 In many situations, changing worlds is necessary. There's many activities you just can't expect to do if you are not ready to change worlds, this is how you play this game. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino_Da_Gino Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 hmm, well I've only been playing since january of 2002 so I didn't know that. I change worlds all the time. That's why when I get a good one, it's annoying to get it disrupted, thus my rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something changed since I quit, there's a window between each cannon shot where you can get an attack in and steal the monster, unless the player himself is attacking the monster along with his cannon. But ya, too lazy to get the data on the ogres, so carry on.

Dino_Da_Gino Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 I see what you're trying to say Reb, but the thing is that each hit ogre is already damaged, meaning when I kill it, I'm getting less xp. just gotta vent man, haha. I was super annoyed at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidus_77 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Always the same story. The monsters do not belong to anyone, so anyone is allowed to come along and set up his cannon. You can't steal exp that didn't belong to you to begin with. It's not unreasonable for the person using the cannon to kill all the monsters. You cannot say that they are "stealing kills" since the kills were never your to begin with. You can say that it is "inconsiderate" of him, but he is just using a more efficient method and your well-being is not his responsibility. You cannot say that it's an unfair advantage because everyone has the same opportunity to get a cannon, he has chosen to take it and you have not. Just get your own cannon pr stop whining and switch worlds. Also, it's really low of you to use real life threats they accomplish absolutely nothing. Oh and don't rant if you're only making this rant to let out some steam.

Dude, you sound like my mom :-X All of the sudden a good arguement makes him sound like your mom? -.- Do something productive with your post .... On topic, like Solidus said, it's not like it's your training ground. If you can't stand having someone else beat you to it in killing monsters then beat it. I am getting bored of lame rants such as; someone stole my coal rock!, or I was hunting chimponas before this guy comes in!!!!, or in this case; someone put up a cannon where I was training, now I'm going to rant about how someone took all off the monsters.... :XD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aglips Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't understand how you can say that he was stealing your xp when you were training your range. Was he getting credited for your hits? I don't think so. You were still getting the xp for each hit you did so how was he stealing your xp? It's not like you were training slayer and he was getting credit for the kill and xp that goes along with the kill. Try to understand how the game works before you complain. Besides, he has every right to be there with his cannon as you have every right to be there too. Why would jagex release the cannon if people weren't allowed to use them because you don't have 1.

Peronix Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Lol I totally own cannoners at Lathas training ground. I just stick two or more ogres with arrows and then go back and forth shooting them. One cannoner even left because I had like three ogres that his cannon couldn't attack and there were no ogres respawning. :XD:You just gotta be smarter than them. And besides, no matter where you go there is always someone there to complain about the cannon. There is no such thing as an empty world at dagganoths, or at the Lathas training ground it seems. So at least he was polite in the fact that he found a world in which only one person would be inconvenienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino_Da_Gino Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Wow guys, wow. This is a rant. This is for blowing off steam. I was mad at the time. Seriously get off your high horses, I'm so sick of that attitude around here. I'm entitled to get mad at someone if I want to. You would think a rant forum would be a place where someone can vent frustration without being attacked by everyone reading it. I told you guys that I hop worlds when I need to, and obviously I'm not under the impression that it's my training ground or my experience they're stealing. I guarantee that every one of you has been mad at something in this game at one time or another. I should have known this was going to happen though. Everyone here seems to get off on feeling superior to someone else, but whatever... Try to understand how the game works before you complain. I have a perfect understanding of how the game works. I never said they weren't allowed to use them, I said I am ANNOYED by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
