Nemla Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 An easy solution would be: just to make increase the amount arrows you get from bars/logs, and when you use them, you cannot pick them up anymore. Example: 50 Arrow heads/bar and 50 Shafts/log. And they can only be used once(they dissapear after 1 use) Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Don't drop your arrows. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemla Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Don't drop your arrows. Instead of giving short "smartass" comments, explain what you mean. I myself have no problem with arrows thieves, as i always get my arrows back before they appear to other people. But evrywhere i train, where other people train ranged, there is always an argument and name callings because of one or two people take the arrows the rangers shoot before they themselves have killed the monster(hope that made sence).

phreaknet Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 You almost never get all your arrows back anyway (They "break"). The trick is to just get a [cabbage]load of arrows to begin with. Then it won't matter if you lose 200 of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it won't matter if you lose 200 of 'em. And to show that all melee'ers aren't bad, I will share this little story with you: I was at the Al-Kharid mines mining iron/coal. A ranger was standing on the edge and shooting down at scorpions. Well, he obviously didn't have very high range because he was using iron arrows and wasn't killing them very quickly. So, I went around and picked up all his arrows. I ended up getting about 200+ which I, of course, could have kept. But, as soon as I had finished filling up on ores, I went up there and gave all his arrows back to him. it made his day, and made me feel better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaga Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Arrow thieves aren't much of thieves, they pick up what they see, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no arrow thief problem, because there are no arrow thieves. I have met with people who pick up the arrows that fall, if I don't like it, I have to pick them up earlier. What problem do you speak of? RSN: Mutashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have met with people who pick up the arrows that fall, if I don't like it, I have to pick them up earlier. What problem do you speak of? I know what you mean, but people call them arrow thives. The main problem would be the name calling and insults following by taking arrows from a ranger, as the rangers ofcourse are annoyed by it and call the thives noobs or some other word, and the "thives" 99% of the time are cocky and start with insulting and calling names.

lltripletll Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 theifs? lol did you write you name on your arrows? see once its fired, its no longer yours, you were given few mins to pick it up before it appears to everyone, if you chose not to, then too bad... your fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domovoi Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 There are no arrow theives, it is the ranger's fault if they do not pick up their arrows in time. Yes, it's annoying but live with it. Domovoi123-Level 80 f2pNoxious 0ne-Level 46 f2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 it isnt always the rangers fault they dont pick them up in time some enemys dont die in 3 seconds but thqat still doesnt mean those who pick them up are thieves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I gave a silly person comment, because it's a silly person's discussion. If anything this is a rant. You have no right to stop arrow pickers. Once an arrow hits the floor and appears, they have as much owning right to it as they do. Just like monster kills. You want to stop that too? Sure, one may argue the case of curteousy, but c'mon, be realistic. This is runescape. The general population are obnoxious 13 year old males yet to reach puberty. Good luck finding curteousy. Next time you want to post on a discussion board, make something worth discussing. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane72 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 This topic is already being discussed on 'Rants' - I think maybe the original poster just wantd to discuss the idea of fully disposable arrows, which would certainly be one solutionto the problem. On the whole, it's a matter of personal preference. There's no rule against picking up fired arrows, so it just comes down to courtesy.

What problem do you speak of? Oh. My. God. There are people out there with a logical, thinking brain! Why can't everyone be like you? Will you and Bubsa marry me? Seriously, I don't see why there are still discussions about this going on. If anything, use the already existing topic. Anyway, this seemed to be more about the "solution" to the problem that isn't there. So, since there is no problem, I don't think making 50 shafts per log is necessary. 20 would be nice, since it would be an even interval of 10 when calculating things, but other than that, not really necessary.

Crim_nimora Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 heres a thought instead of just rasing it altogether to fix this "problem" how about making it lie runecrafting and have the amount you make per log depend on your fletching lvl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no timer above the arrows that you fire. Therefore, you can't tell when they are visible to others, and most rangers don't want to waste more time running after their arrows every second. Another thing, arrows cost money to buy..expecially in f2p where we can't make our own. Now a normal civil human being would return an item that they know they did not pay for. But wait. I'm talking about runescape where we only have greedy little loud mouth [puncture]s. I agree. something has to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What problem do you speak of? So, from what you say, I can walk into a bank and "see" the money and take it? AND get away with it?! SWEET! You try it first though. It's not wrong in the sense of the law, but it's wrong morally, but you'd know nothing of that subject, would you? And btw, whoever said "make 50 per bar/log" is the reason that bolts aren't popular, you can't make mass numbers... so doing that would hurt every other type of range even more.

Crim_nimora Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Once again we are on the topic of courtesy and the vast majority of people who play this games priorities are to kill other players and masturbate the whole concept of humanity is not yet within the grasp of these cretins and to all parents out there who believe in super nanny and nanny 911 STOP IT DOESNT WORK YOU NEED TO SLAP THE PISS OUT OF YOUR CHILD ONCE AN A WHILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowshow Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 OMG! i read the title and i couldnt believe that this was actually a suggestion, i mean, you have about 30 sec to pick up ur arrows, if you had a brain stem you would walk past whatever cheap barrior that you are hiding behind and pick up the arrows before someone that isnt scared of that monster does! Horus was weak, Abbadon was a fool, but I Karkan, chosen of the chaos gods, shall conquer Terra, I shall kill the false emperor.

Crim_nimora Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 there are no arrow thives is what we clarified. Its meerly people who pick stuff up off of the ground that archers are to careless to pick up. we also decided its a matter of courtesy which rs is short on.
