Why am i getting flammed for having a sgs?!?

Featured Replies

Recently got my sgs back and full bandos armour (besides boots). Was very happy with myself... cost me around 100M and its the setup iv wanted forever. Problem is im getting flamed and nagged like crazy just for having a sgs... Not item lenders either, im getting called a noob or asked when im going to upgrade to a ags by random people. its like they care what i do with my money.

 

 

 

To be fair i have tired every godsword at one point and time besides zgs. Ags was fun, but it has little use for somone who slays and dont pk. I could care less about ags hits anyways... im already hitting constant 50s with slayer helm and pots on tasks. Why would i care to hit 20 more for the extra 18M?

 

 

 

Also, why do some godwars teams not take sgs's? I got kicked because i said i had a sgs and they basically blew me off. It wasen't a ags only team either....

 

 

 

Just seems theres a negative mentality on the sgs as there are other ways to heal.... sure guthans works fine, but thats not somthing id take to kq or zammy anyways. If i was to make that argument i could say dh hits as hard as a ags... except you got to have low hp. I look at the godswords specs as a convince, sure that dh or guthans will do the same thing, but you got to switch with guthans and it gets messy with dh unless your careful.

 

 

 

Sgs and bunyip will keep you at full health at about any place in the game besides bosses and a few exceptions. Why do so many people seem to hate it? Its so misunderstood its ridiculous.

 

 

 

As for the fact that sgs is droping, why would i care? I bought my sgs as i thought it was worth what i paid. I plan to keep it unless my plans drastically change otherwise. People seem to forget that all gwd items are going to drop alot yet, its all fairly new. A guy at barrows told me sgs was going to be stable for months at its current price. Why would it be? Theres tons coming into the game everyday.

 

 

 

I know this rants really quite dumb but i had to blow off my steam. My overall point is you can like your ags all you want... just dont push your opinions on me.

Personally I like the idea of Sgs more than Ags. It's personal preference. People see video's on Youtube of players hitting extremely high and instantly label it as the best of the four. However, this isn't really the case.

 

Don't worry, you've made a perfectly good choice, and don't really know what to suggest about the flamers except use your ignore list!! :D

I think the SGS is still seen as the worst of the four. Personally think it's the best by far...

 

 

 

Agreed. Although I don't know about it being seen as the worst. As far as I can tell, Zammy GS is purely hated. Lol :?

It's because people like hitting high. That's why Strength is preferred over the other combat skills and why people give up their Def for a few Str bonuses when it comes to armor.

True.

 

 

 

I hate people who think strength is the most ultimate, best skill ever...

 

 

 

Imo, SGS is the best, I'd rather have it then an AGS.

Yes, noobs go on YT and never see SGS on Bh, purely because its special has no effect what-so-ever during your match, and its ALOT to risk for something that you can get better results with 30m. I do LOVE hitting high, but I wont sacriface all my def/attack bonuses for it!

People prefer higher hits rather than other bonuses. Just ignore them. If they do that to you, what functional conversation can you have with them anyway?

This is how the situation usually pans out...

 

 

 

Some person starts following, this is what you do.

 

 

 

Some random: Hey, nice SGS

 

You: ty

 

Some random: When are you gonna get a AGS

 

You: After you do.

 

 

 

 

 

finished. your welcome. :thumbsup:

Tbh I hate when people talk like that- "When are you going to upgrade to AGS?", "You can't afford an AGS, that's sad"

 

 

 

It's as if they know better what you should do with YOUR money... When sometimes they couldn't even afford a BGS...

 

 

 

Anyways, just ignore them. I have a friend who soloed an Armadyl hilt, smithed the GS and sold it to buy an SGS instead. Apparently they're the best of the four, regardless of what all the people think based on the high hits in Bh.

Well I don't think it is some weird mob mentality that STR is better. It is better. It increases accuracy and raises your overall DPS. I understand some people may take it a little far but STR is the best skill out of atk, str, and def.

If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one

Eh, only one person's opinion. They're all very important.

I think SGS is super cool. i can't afford one myself, or *any* GS for that matter, but if they were all the same price, i would certainly get an SGS. it's the most useful of the 4 in most occasions

Lol I didn't think it was possible to get flammed for that.

2480+ total

This is exactly like my Toktz-xil-ak with a berserker necklace. Out of 15 people who have asked me about it, 10 have said ,"Why not use a d scimmy?", and 1 went so far as to say, "I bet you have 80 summoning since that's the best nooby weapon you can wield." I was on the 100+ boat in pc with 114 combat...SERIOUSLY, WHY DO I HAVE TO TRAIN LIKE SINGLE [cabbage] PERSON???? Can't I train with an obby mace or sword if I want to? Geeze, I'd actually want to have a Saradomin Godsword out of all of them.

 

Bandos is for pve 1v1 boss battles

 

Armadyl is for 1v1 pvp

 

Zamorak is for bounty hunter and FoG

 

~~~Saradomin is for 1v100 pve/pvp~~~

 

Since both you and I like the 1v100 pve/pvp battles, I don't blame you for wanting it, I'm so jealous -.-

 

And why do the Zamorak and Armadyl hilts look nothing like the actual symbols of those gods? Unlike Bandos and Saradomin.

menea_reuter.pnglinkresponsewb2.th.jpg

Pretty much the same crowd that flame people for using longswords instead of scims. Just ignore them. I really don't understand this 'strength is teh only ting dat maters' mentality.

There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

40678187bv4.jpg

Tbh my favorite GS spec is bandos, followed by saradomin, armadyl and zamorak. But tbh i'd still be happier than ever even with a ZGS :roll:

Range_0r.png

Anyways, BBL OFF TO SLEEP WITH A RACCOON

I think that in any situation other than pvp bandos is by far the worst since it has a spec thats about as useful as teh whips energy drain when fighting monsters. The Zammorak godsword's spec is just stupid unless your a warrior/mage or warrior/ranger hybrid since what good is freezing an enemy in place if you are still fighting in melee range? The Zammy GS, like bandos, has almost no advantage over the other GS's when not ina pvp situation (for zammy its really ristricted to CW).

 

 

 

RuneScape players seem to have some facination with strenth, never mind sacrificing defense and sometimes attack to further you max damage. What good is being able to do tons of damage if you need to carry an inventory full of food everytime you level a city to avoid dieing? What good is being able to do tons of damage if you can't even score hits consitantly. Dharoks scores big damage all the time, the AGS only does it when it has enough energy. The SGS will allow you to stay longer and so you will dish out far more damage per trip than an AGS simply because you trip is much longer because of your healing. It also allows you to carry more pots in place of food.

 

 

 

Perhaps if you are someplace close to a bank the AGS truly is better, but if you out in the absolute middel of nowhere and its a major jike to get back when you re-stock, that is when teh SGS is in its prime.

 

 

 

Your money, spen it how you will. Someday the people flaming you will realise that the people who really 'waste' money are the people who buy rares. Ofcourse once you have the money to buy a rare, you probably have plenty of money to waste so it really wouldn't matter.

Yes, Not to mention if all the specs were the same for some odd reason i like the sgs hilt the best, bust anyways sgs droped another 2M and you know what? I dont care one bit. Its made me 5M slaying and at godwars since i got it. Thanks for the opinions and responses.

Because:

 

 

 

- most of Runescapers are pokeyman-watching/playing children who think that hitting the highest makes you sexy

 

- most of Runescapers think prayer is for noobs and HP is for noobs as well (if not, why is safing nooby?)

 

- they wish their godsword had bling on the hilt

 

- they're secretly sexist against Zilyana

 

- it's a trick, and they're using reverse psychology to say "lend it to meeeee"

 

- most of Runescapers are Naruto-watchers who think being evil makes you the best person on the Internet, and that the side of good (and Saradomin) fails

 

- they're jealous. Armadyl is a bird. If I was a bird, I'd hate the SGS too.

 

- they have 32 Slayer and think it's pointless

 

- it's too much to lose in BH without hitting

 

38210_k3clh4chsr_l.jpg

 

- they fail.

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, SGS is the best GS ever made ever. Ignore those noobs.

I hear you bro, I hate the AGS really. My favourites in order is probabbly: BGS, SGS, ZGS, and AGS last. I could care less of hitting high, bandos does the same thing and what you hit 10-15 less? But whatever your fightings def goes down to what a level 40 would have. I get flamed constantly also (example: lol nub cant u afford anything better?), hello dude with a party hat here <_<, of course I can afford the others, but I'm fine with my BGS.

Sgs is my dream gs, but first I have to go for bgs. It's the best wep for training in the whole game, and the hilt is excellent. :) We have the same dream setup.

Playing for 4 years with only 3 drag drops. most amount of cash ever had: 15m :P

Something tells me im not very good at this game...

Dragon Drops: 2 D skirt, 1 D med

Barrow Drops:1 Dh helm, 1 Guthan's body.

253+ quest points and counting :)

Yea... really the swords are all the same your just paying for the spec and the hilt look... But sgs is the only sword that directly helps its user so i find it to be nice. ::'

I love the side of good, and I want the endurance of the spec.

 

Really want a sgs, I really want to get rid of this bgs.
