shoting2 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Has anyone but me notice that the amount of players with the ranging skill cape has increased 10 fold? I chose 1 spot to see how many skill capes I see in 10 minutes. I chose the Ectofungus near Canifis. In 10 minutes I seen: Mage: 2 Strength: 1 Farming: 1 Slayer: 1 Range: 7 Considering I was in a random location at a random time that is astonising. There were more Range capes than all else put together. Some may say its because of bone bolts at 3 ea. Some may say its blind chance. But I think Range is simply the combat of tommorow.

Infi Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 If you think so. But how will it directly impact you? :| To me, it's probably more like Strength-Scape because everyone wants to hit really high even though they seldom hit it, am I right!? :o 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugafan_2009 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Dude, your logic suggests one out of every 12 people with a 99 skill has 99 slayer. Seriously, you saw 7 range capes in 10 minutes and thought it was thread worthy? Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceScope Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 If range is the combat of tomorrow i'm sticking with melee. Rune arrows will never penetrate my mighty rune plate body and dragon skirt! (Well maybe sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erichermit Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Probably just chance. I will say that Range is rather common as it is now a buyable cape, it shouldnt be THAT common.

casthewiz Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Boy, you sure love making (inset prefix here)-scape threads, don't you. :lol: I would agree with you slightly, but its mainly because its buyable.

Thats my point its is almost too common now! :shock: :o SHOCK! I mean seriously, what discussion value has this thread? That people choose to spend money on ranged? Ill just post I agree to make you happy. But I really don't care if more people have ranged capes these days. More people to sell bolts to. Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?

mrmyk Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 There has been an increase in training spots/methods for range this year such as chin's and bone bolts. However, your survery is absolutle rubbish :P.

DarkDude Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 90% of the people with the cape shouldn't even be called rangers, bloody chins/cannoners. Us proper rangers got 99 range via the good ol' bow and arrow method. I remember when I used to be in the top 300 for range, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboo2 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 This proves nothing. There is no doubt that some of those people also had a strength/attack cape but chose to wear a range cape because its harder to get than being a PC product. Also maybe yuo were hanging out on a world where a range clan goes, or maybe afew friends were going on a happy ranging trip. Maybe even an old staking world where high range is common for bolt use. Also you'd need a bigger survey. Tooo many un-controlled factors to suddenly announce that this is range-scape. Yeah...Some people just go out of their way to ruin other peoples fun.Sounds like Jagex to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It was just randomness that made you get this result. I don't think that ranging will be the combat style of tomorrow either. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightshade53 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I got 99 before all the new easy training methods made it alot easier. It annoys me how my precious 99 is becoming less rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha_boas Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Wow you have luck and see quite a few capes and instantly you think "OMG THIS IS THE SKILL OF THE FUTURE" Geez :/ Nice conclusion lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlordjl Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Range is more popular now, due to the availibility of resources at lower prices and that Range actually competes against Melee. A tank ranger in torags with a rune crossbow and diamond bolts/dark bow spec will often beat a meleer who uses a whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoting2 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 My acctual point was that if this is a taste for things to come skill capes will not be respected as they once were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
