What do you guys think about the new gravestones and repairing them.

 

 

 

Last week i died soloing the giant mole, was low on food and about to run out of prayer, got k0'd before i could drink the pot and turn on melee prayer. Normally i dont die down there, it was just a freak situation where everything went wrong at once and i panicked.

 

 

 

I died down there, and as i was dying i saw another guy come, so i thought, phew! i can get my things back.

 

 

 

Anyway i get down there, after getting that silly molly random where you have to pick the evil twin, and my grave was gone!

 

 

 

[hide=What i lost (not relevant)]i was wearing full ghostly, which i lost. this is a pain to get back for me because 3 of my ghosts are in the wild and i always get pwnd by revernants. I also had various items including relatively valuable drops, mole skins and claws, full black dhide and lots of mith bolts.[/hide]

 

 

 

Upon asking him about it, he replied "Its not my responsibility, its your fault you died"

 

I was quite offended by this, but then thought, hey he is right, its not his responsibility, and he doesnt have to repair my grave, though it could be considered a polite thing to do.

 

 

 

Would you be offended in my situation?

 

Would you have repaired my grave?

 

Has repairing graves become something that people "should" do?

I believe it is rude not to repair someone's grave. But he's right he doesnt have to at all. On a side note I really suggest you buy a better grave (at least 4 minutes) and never bring hard to get items with no protective bonus in a dangerous area :XD:

While it's noone's responsibility to repair or bless gravestones, personally, I would have repaired/blessed it. The only possible reason not to would be if you wanted to conserve prayer points- which shouldn't really be that big of a deal.

 

 

 

He however, was rather snobbish about it, which was rather rude..

well, there are some situations where you cant reapir someones grave, like yours. if they were using prayer i doubt they would want to waste it but i'm pretty sure its becoming common courtesy to bless someones grave if your not using prayer or something

Ouch it's bad what people do but

 

 

 

Would you be offended in my situation? Nope

 

Would you have repaired my grave? Yes

 

Has repairing graves become something that people "should" do?YES

 

 

 

I ALWAYS repair graves I see as well I hope people would do the same

And I do believe you can expect a small reward from the guy who'se grave you repaired. After all it's because of you he got to keep his items and you did use precious prayer points for him. You dont have to give a reward at all but it woud be pretty rude :) (in my opinion)

 

 

 

If giving a small reward for grave repairing became common then everybody would take the time to repair your grave.

i repair graves 100% of the time when im skilling.

 

i repair graves never when im doing combat.

If giving a small reward for grave repairing became common then everybody would take the time to repair your grave.

 

 

 

Yes but then they would be repairing it for the reward and not because they're nice people.

 

 

 

Helping someone out is totally worth the few prayer points spent, and even if I was praying I would repair it. It only takes a couple points to save someone millions of coins after all.

I agree with you 100%.

 

 

 

I repair gravestones whenever i can, the only thing that will stop me from repairing them is if i don't have enough points at the time.

 

 

 

If i was the guy down there i would of repaired your stone out of goodwill and playership ( yes thats a word because i made it one :P ) And it wasn't his responibility to repair it but in my eyes he is a jerk for not doing so.. :notalk:

good points all around, though i guess this issue can be related to arrow stealing as they are similar.

 

 

 

Even though it could be frowned upon to not repair graves or steal arrows, there are some people who will do it.

 

 

 

The prayer points cost is not alot, and the items someone lost cannot just be recharged like prayer.

I'll be dead honest here.

 

 

 

I wouldn't be offended. Annoyed, maybe.

 

I wouldn't have repaired your grave.

 

Repairing gravestones is not something that people "should" do.

People should definatly repair the grave, it takes virtually nothing to do... If you don't, it's simply being bitter and not caring at ALL about someone else. I'm willing to be it's the same people who used to STEAL your things - but now, since they can't take them, they just want to make sure you don't get them.

 

 

 

Blessing it (using up your prayer) in certain situations can be a different story. It might be your life you're risking for 60 prayer. It's nice to help people, but definatly have to help yourself first.

I was pretty annoyed today that I lagged out and died at Black dragons in the Evil Chicken's Lair(Mostly cause i loved my lovely Zammy D'hide set and D boots[Which Idk why i was wearing])...and there were people down there, but no one repaired it..Even worse was that i couldn't get back down there, b/c of the Staff...which I lost.

So how do you know nobody repaired it if you could not get down there?

Would you be offended in my situation? Yes, happened to me 2 days ago at metal drags, lost about 2.2 mill of stuff

 

 

 

Would you have repaired my grave? i always either repair or bless the gravestone if i see it

 

 

 

Has repairing graves become something that people "should" do? people should do it if they see it, but most people dont bother

I would not be offended

 

I try to repair all gravestones that I see, after I lost full mime.

The game gives you a message "your Gravestone has crumbled"

I have 80 Prayer so I bless graves when I get the chance. It's one of those "what-if-it-was-me" situations. I bless graves because I would want people to bless my grave if I died.

I'll be dead honest here.

Yes, it will come back to haunt him, especially because he doesn't play anymore. Watch out Oreo, the cops are comming -.- .

 

 

 

You don't have to, but I do if I can.

i wouldnt get offended (maybe a lil, depending on what the person says)

 

and i would repair your (or everyone's) gravestone if i can.

 

 

 

hope people will do the same to me ^^ \

You don't have to help the old lady in the ally getting mugged. (maybe?) But you do anyway because a society without good citizens is like hell. :P

That's right, just because it's a game it is still a real person who has put real time into obtaining his items. So help out.

Yeah that happened to me at Iron drags last week. I lagged and returned to see a 17 hit on me and me falling. I had been talking with the guys ranging and maging around, but they couldn't repair it... Even if they weren't using prayer at all, in fact the grave crumbled while I was on the fire giant part of the dungeon and when I got to the spot none of the guys were there... kinda makes you think :roll:

The people who return your items from your death pile will be the same people who will bless your grave should you die, sadly this group of "people" is not the whole rs population.
