There is nothing wrong with runescape. If you want all these features.. please go play another game. And runescape is not just about skilling anyway.

 

 

 

RS dull, repetitive and not challenging. You can say "Go play another game" on every rant then, but you can't tell me that RS is really hard or adventure.

The beauty of runescape is that it can be what you want it to be. Well, for the most part. You can no longer be a petty mugger in the wilderness.

 

 

 

You can be a miner, tanner, jeweller, thief, ranger, warrior, or wizard.

 

You can be a rogue adventurer just killing what drops you want.

 

You can be a farmer.

 

You can be combinations of everything.

 

You can be a champion dueller.

 

 

 

I can go on if you like.

 

 

 

Those "Tasks" all involve repetitive actions.

beautiful rant its true there is no adventure in this game and that business scape thing was hilarious :lol:

I'm sure as you can see that RuneScape itself is set in medievilish times. So where did the medievil King's get their money and fine clothes and other things? From economy! Economy is needed to substantiate life. Without economy there will be hardly any rich people. Without rich people we get people wearing (ugh) green clothes roaming around more because money is harder to get.

 

 

 

If there is no bank, no one would use it.... And the elf lands kinda fit that description.

"Magical Realist" Doesn't understand what a "game" is. Constantly makes arguments based on what would be "realistic," even if the game is set in a fantasy world run by wizards and pixies.

So you're saying he thinks it has to be realistic to be a game?

I must say, interesting. Yet if life is an adventure, why is there an economy?

Because there's much more to life than there is to Runescape.

 

 

 

Runescape isn't ready to have adventure and an economy.

rs is an adventure if you want it to be :D

 

 

 

Can you grow pineapples from your nose if you want to?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't think so.

 

 

 

Probably could with the advances in science. :

RS is really dull if you play too much, and it is repetitive.

 

Personally, i enjoy diablo 2 expansion a lot more than rs, but i rarely play anymore because it also gets dull after you play it a lot.

 

It is hardly an adventure, the maps never change, and everything is almost always in the same spot.

 

I agree with part of this rant, but some of it is somewhat stupid.

 

There is a lot wrong with runescape, i don't see why they cared about RWT so much, it didn't hurt their game too much.

Yeah, after my over 3 years of playing I've come to a point where I log on for about 5 minutes, and if none of my friends are on I log off and do something else.

 

 

 

In regards to your signature, can you tell me when to use affect and effect? I can never figure it out. :oops:

For a while, this would keep many people occupied on exploring the area, searching for treasure, maybe even keep them away from ranting, because they will have something to look forward to.

 

 

 

Jagex, you need to make the game more interesting, more mysterious, and more dangerous, or you might as well call Runescape,

Effect is what comes out of a cause, and affect is when something alters something else.

I disagree with you on almost everything you spoke about. There is plenty of adventuring to do in RuneScape. Like another poster wrote there is a big chance you didn't complete all the quests, and there is a lot of adventure to be had there. New content to be unlocked too! Entire areas are unlocked from doing quests.

 

 

 

But there is also killing monsters, like mithril dragons! Or the Kalphite Queen, or the KBD. Plenty of adventure to be had there.

 

 

 

Games are also meant to have an economy. If you don't want to partake in the economy and earn all the items yourself that's fine. I do that a lot myself, however I do like to sell things and buy things from people and the GE.

 

 

 

I know of an "adventure" game which revolves around economy. If you don't like using the Grand Exchange or trading with others that is fine, your loss, however you don't get to point your finger and say it doesn't belong.

Well written! Runescape is based on player interaction and repetive action far more than the actual adventuring that one would expect. But, Runescape is not about exploring. It's about selling things and buying things and doing the same things over and over again. You should try Guild Wars or WoW if you can't get hooked to the (sometimes unhealthy) Runescape addiction.

Runescape is an adventure when you first start out. I remember when I first rocked up in Lumbridge, I just wanted to explore and go on an adventure.

 

The adventure part of Runescape is the quests. Once you have done all them there isn't much else to do but skill.

uh, that's the same thing, buddy.

 

And effect is what alters something, and effect is also what comes out of a cause.

 

Affect has no real point to normal people, it's a psychological term.

maybe he couldn't complete all the quests because he can't be a member, i can't become a member, and all the fun is sucked out of this game for me, because after lvl40 in most skills, i have nothing awaiting me, and the hardest f2p monsters are greater demons, and they're a little too easy.

 

All you do in f2p is grind, we have no fun mini-games/quests, we have no neat weapons, and there isn't much to do besides grind all the time.

 

 

 

The economy thing is ok, but i enjoyed how it was before this mass wildy/rwt update, but i'm glad all the bots are gone.

Player interaction is very minimal in my rs2 career, the most interaction i have on a day-to-day basis is people either, 1) calling me a noob and saying i should go away because they were training there first. or 2) Me saying hi to people, with no response.

 

 

 

On my friends list, the only people i have on there are my other accounts, so i don't have to write down their names in order to remember them.

 

 

 

I hated guild wars, it was too much of a copy of Diablo 2, if you want a game like guild wars, but is a lot more fun, go buy diablo 2 expansion from wal-mart, it's the better version of Guild wars, that guild wars is copied from.

That may be, but how much of your time is spent exploring or killing monsters (not just to level-up). Also, I don't like guild wars that much.

Everybody plays games for a different reason. Some play for friends, others enjoyment. I have a friend who constantly plays online games just to sell items for real-world cash. I play for the people and interesting game features. If you want adventure, try taking on the Kalphite Queen with a partner, try some new quests or just wander around Gilenor exploring any area that you can reach.

 

 

 

You are complaining that Runescape is too economically based. Sorry to dissapoint ya, but all RPGs are like that. Hell, life is like that! Unless you live in a little utopia in the middle of nowhere, you can't escape it.

 

 

 

Yes, it gets repetetive but every RPG is like that. Every game is like that. Maybe Runescape is not for you and thats cool, its your choice to make wether to play or not. Hopefully you experience more of the game before deciding it to be purely economically based.

It really all depends on your definition of adventure really.

 

 

 

My idea of adventure is basically having a break from reality, doing things I wouldn't do in real life. Others are exploring new areas, and obviously the adventure might end for you once you've been everywhere.

 

 

 

Some people complain about the repetitive tasks, but it's pretty good life skills in my opinion. My endurance has increased with my Saturday job, that's for sure, and when I first started it I was nearly falling asleep :D

 

 

 

Economy = :thumbsup:

 

 

 

I haven't seen an RPG with no economy whatsoever. Probably the worst example of an economy in an RPG is one where you can't trade with other players, and only with shopkeepers. And you have to admit, that's pretty boring. The best part of the economy actually is conversing with other players. Although this isn't as great now due to the GE :(

The other RPG I play, there's almost no economy. and it takes almost 6 months to get everywhere due to the unusually large size of the game map. The map is about 10 times the size of RuneScape.

so what you sit around all day being a level 3 noob a 32 total not doing anything? How about you play another game?

 

 

 

Fun :thumbsup: Excuse my ignorance there

 

 

 

 

 

Other matters, i agree and disagree with your point of view. I believe the some of the fun has gone from RuneScape and it has lost its interaction and has simply become another game like dragonfable where there is no interaction what-so-ever with another player. But that doesn't mean you can't still have fun. You are saying that it has become an online banking related game where you kill things? But you still can interact with one another. You can go on Clan Wars with you clan and have some fun=] Don't play Bounty Hunter as an individual or your dead. You can also train with your friends, have drop parties at the party room which i used to love when iw as a member on my first account back in '05-for those other losers i did quit for a while.

 

And you can skill with your friends =]

Personally I agree with this topic.

So you're saying he thinks it has to be realistic to be a game?

I'm suggesting he thinks because its in a fantasy world set in the sword age, it has to have an economy, and he's using that as an excuse for the less than adventurous gameplay, which is more or less a giant marketing quest to beat real quests.

"Games are also meant to have an economy".

If this was true, then wheres the economy in halo, counterstrike, timesplitters, and team fortress 2?

Well, it's exactly what I mean really. My idea of adventure is different to yours. I enjoy an economy in the game (perhaps because I study economics?) and I don't usually find my adventure in exploring. Whilst you might enjoy trawling a landscape for 6 months, I'm not as keen. I'd rather do something different and explore in the process. I haven't even gotten around the whole of Runescape yet!

Massive Online Economoical Game = MOEG :D

 

 

 

A game where numbers and breaking even is the key :-k
