Why is the default "attack" for this random event NPC? It has caused me (and many others, I'm sure) so much frustration.

A valid point... I think this is more of a suggestion though.

 

 

 

It's not that bad, just right click and talk... it's highly unlikely you'll die in the time required :P

To force you to think when responding to it. My guess is that it's a bit of an anti-autoer measure (and hardly a big deal.)

My god, i totally agree. Instead of just a click, I have to do a whole RIGHT click. And that's not all..... then I have to actually MOVE the mouse until I can FINALLY get to the "talk to" option. It would be soooo much better if all I needed to do was the talk option because everything else is wasting so much time. :roll:

Exactly.

Clearly I'm not complaining about having to right click. It may be easy to overlook, but all of us are so used to getting randoms (and trying to get them out of the way ASAP) we just naturally left-click on him. The result? Most of the time having to run away 'til he vanishes, since he has tons of HP and no drops.

 

 

 

Thats a lot more than just moving the mouse a bit...

When he attacks you, you can still right click and select talk..

So you ran away from him each time because you assumed you couldn't talk to him during combat? Wow, talk about bad assumptions. Well problem solved anyways, although I'm not impressed with your lack of ingenuity because you obviously didn't try too hard to solve this problem yourself.

O RLY? Well let's check for clarity in your original post then:

Nope, it's completely ambiguous. All it says is that the default attack option causes frustration. There's no explanation of why that is the case. You should be more specific when ranting next time.

I'm quite shocked that you went through all of this effort to make me look bad over a rant. As the first reply is testament, I am clearly not the only one who finds this annoying. In fact, I can assure you that most people are unaware that you can still talk to him after combat has initiated (obviously not the norm in this game.)

 

 

 

Now of course as a veteran of the rant board, I understand that it is a medium with which to voice your frustrations with the game (as it says, no less!). Not a place to have your opinions nitpicked and examined by overzealous forum members looking for a quick faux-online ego boost. Not naming any names, of course. Regardless, I won't honor this another reply, as I haven't the time to absorb attacks to my integrity and character over such trivial matter. Let alone stay up all evening arguing on an online forum, seeing who can orchestrate bigger words and longer paragraphs of hollow drivel.

My god, i totally agree. Instead of just a click, I have to do a whole RIGHT click. And that's not all..... then I have to actually MOVE the mouse until I can FINALLY get to the "talk to" option.

Get over yourself.

You failed at detecting sarcasm

Did i? or maybe the sarcasm was what prompted my post?.

well luckly for you he doesnt begin his "non stopping attacking" until after a few hits so if you hit him by accident (or purpose like me) you can just talk to him to get rid of him. though he is rather weak just high def with a large amount of hp.

got something against sarcasm now? :roll:

Why is the default "attack" for this random event NPC? It has caused me (and many others, I'm sure) so much frustration.

 

...One of the many reasons that I only use right click for everything.

 

Besides, he's a SECURITY GUARD. Knowing the RuneScape community, they'd hate him and shout "omfg n00bz0rx th1ng l0l kill him i gotta wai t00 hard itz rodents right presser t0 0wn him!1!!11*". So they made it easier.

 

*Oh my bleeping gosh, a noob thing! I'm laughing out loud, I gotta kill him! Wait, it's too hard! Right-mouse-click to own him!

The topic writer has a point. When the guard shows up your first reaction is to click on him like you do for all other npcs.... Honestly some of you people attack people despite the fact that they are displaying a logical point..... :roll:

he hits like 1's, I think your just trying to find things to rant about :?

o my aren't we clever

 

 

 

well then please explain to me the point, I had a hard time figuring it out from the one sentence topic, because to me taking an extra .7 seconds out of you're runescaping career doesn't seem like that big of a deal

Again, you're missing the point.

Put simply:to screw click-autos.

It is annoying..Lagged and almost died to him (level 3) :-w

 

 

 

Though it probably is effective against bots. :anxious:
