where's the joy in playing RuneScape now?

[Faux]

For people who don't really enjoy mindless clicking (non-"skillers"), what's there to enjoy about the game? It really gets tedious spending hours getting those levels. But for what? Just to show it off? I used to enjoy clans, especially clan PKing/wars/etc., but with the wilderness barren, what happened there?

 

 

 

There's also the quests of course. But I find very few enjoyable because most are just tedious tasks done just for the sake of getting it done or for the rewards.

[The_Gabe]

Wait a few months for pvp worlds or quit.

[Adam007]

Yeah, it's definitely become a skiller's game. More skills, quests, and minigames fill the void that used to be taken by things like pk'ing, merchanting, and dueling.

[Makoto_the_Phoenix]

I suppose that the joy is still locked away in each and every individual player. For those that loved those activities, they've changed to the point that they believe are unchangeable; for others, nothing's messed up at all.

 

 

 

For myself, the joy in still playing is that I'm still having some fun. Sure, it gets boring and tedious at times, but aren't all games like that at one point or another?

[InkofDeath]

Skill, then Pk. Pk then skill.

 

 

 

That small circle of game play kept the entire economy in check. And since one was lost, you know how the ending result. Which is my answer.

[Cavi]

Well, if you dont enjoy the "click thousand times to lvl up" or quests, the answer is clear, quit or wait until clan wars or PvP worlds. I dont want to sound rude but why would you play a game you dont enjoy?

 

 

 

For me, i love quests and the storylines, i like a little bit of everything too like training range or slayer, but i focus on quests.

[mario_sunny]

Well, I enjoy raising my combat skills so I can hit higher and more acurately later in castle wars. There are fast exp methods to train your combat skills with very few clicks involved. You can literally just leave you character alone for up to a few minutes or so.

[Ouchy]

Personally, I prefer being boring and skilling. It is just who I am. There is just something that satisfies me seeing such a high total level and skills.

[mario_sunny]

Well I know one reason why anyone should stay: PVP ONLY WORLDS.

[MoeSzyslak]

Personally, I prefer being boring and skilling. It is just who I am. There is just something that satisfies me seeing such a high total level and skills.

 

 

 

I'm the same way... though it's gotten too dry for me in the past, I always end up coming back.

[Zierro]

Exactly, I can't think of a single game that never irritated me in one way or another. They all have a certain amount of tedium in them. People can say "all you do in RS is click, click, click" but when you look at every other game, you essentially do the same stuff over and over again too.

[Dragon_lord]

Some people like skilling... Grinding is present in many MMORPGs, and gamers have gotten used to it. RuneScape is the only MMORPG that I've played that doesn't focus mainly on PvP, and that's probably why I still play it.

 

The soon-to-be-released PvP worlds will certainly be dynamic, as people will once again have the feel of being sneaked up on like the old days of the Wilderness.

 

Jagex is aware players need a break from skilling sometimes, that's why they're always introducing mini-games. Even skilling mini-games like the new RC game are fun (yes I find it fun).

[tintin113]

Boss hunting is always fun, and until I have every decent item in the game with money to spare I'm not even considering being bored of this game lol. There's so much to aspire to acheive, and even if you don't want to acheive anything, just chatting to all the mates I've made through RS stops it being boring in any way.

[mervinator_9]

Skilling is still here the way its always been, if anything its got better, the lost of pvp didnt change that. Skilling can be tedious and boring but the rewards are such thats sometimes its worth.

 

 

 

Skilling is a guarentee, if i cut 50k yew ill get level 99 Woodcutting, where as pvp is a gamble, you could win or lose, sometimes i think people like the security of knowing if they do something for a set amount of time they will definaty be rewarded for it.

 

 

 

To be honest current pvp bores me, as there is no reward for half of it and the odds of a reward in the other half have been extremely reduced, but i was a fan of the old wildy. Cant say i think the new updates are gonna restore that totaly but at least its not a BH quick fix.

Everyone has diffedrent points of view concerning what they like. Runescape is a Role Playing Game- meaning that you play asa character in what is supposed to be a 'mideivally modern' world. If you quit, hopefully you won't get square eyes.

 

 

 

Think to it- you can't "win" runescape. If you get lvl 99 in all skills and teh max amount of xp possible, you stil didn't win.

 

 

 

You don't GET anything in real life by playing ruenscape, except joy- which makes time go by faster.

 

You LOSE much more- you lose around 5 bucks a month, your body accumulates with excessive amounts of radiation, and you get bags under your eyes each day.

 

 

 

If you don't like runescape and find it boring but still wanna live to just be 45 by getting too much radiation in you, find anotehr game. I don't want to advertise, so send me a pm and I'll tell you a few sites with games, or another fun game.

 

 

 

However, if you want to be long-lived, go away from your computer and find something else that you like- TV's often fun and gives off WAY less radiation than computers.

 

 

 

Or jsut ask your teacher for extra work in school, using up more time, giving you extra credit (if your teacher tells you it does), will strengthen your stills in w/e teh work's about, and maek you more and mroe ready for a job when you get to be 20.

 

 

 

Basically, I'm asking you, do you want to rot before a st00pid electronic box or have a better life, literally?

 

 

 

'nuff said.

[Robert_de_Sable]

If you don't enjoy it, you're bringing everyone else down. Don't bother playing....

[InferniBoy]

I play runescape for 1 reason- it's fun. Now yes, skilling is quite boring, thats why all 3 of my accounts are parked in the wilderness. and with the release of the new pvp worlds, ill be playing alot more to get my combat skills up, try and get some kills when it comes out.

[raaarga]

How many times do we need to get these threads per week? This is seriously like the fifth or sixth thread EXACTLY like this one that I've read this week. Is it so hard to search? Even if you're not using the search function, just go back a page in the general discussion, you'll see a bunch of topics just like this. If you're not having fun, quit. Easy.

[alphakoldes]

You're a downer.

 

 

 

Quit.

[The Observer]

That's basically the summary of all games whether you like it or not. :lol:

[onuasdad]

gears of war is also on miniclip.com

[Cheefoo]

You don't like skilling?

 

 

 

Too bad.

 

 

 

You don't like questing?

 

 

 

Too bad.

 

 

 

You don't like pking?

 

 

 

Too bad.

 

 

 

There is still pking and dueling. More risk involved in pking now, so it should be more enjoyable, but less risk involved in 1 vs 1 dueling, so it will be less for some people. Duel tournaments? Ever try them? They're quite risky and difficult, and you can win up to 64mil while risking 1mil, so that's always nice.

[Gravy]

The joy's still there, you've just got to find it again.

[999134]

w8 for new new pvp worlds they look awsome

 

(even if they where non-risk and no reward i would be happy :thumbsup: )
