Aresdorna Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's not the Pker attitude, and it certainly didn't go away. People everywhere flame because nothing bad can really happen over the internet. Guaranteed those same people would never say that in real life because then there is the actual risk of physical harm. The internet allows us all to be tremendous jerks since there is usually not a punishment that effects us offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamster Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 This is why pking come back pisses me off. I HATE pkers, every single damn one of them. That makes absolutely no sense. If you don't like PKers, wouldn't you rejoice if they stayed on a few designated servers instead of flooding the entire game? Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like PKers, wouldn't you rejoice if they stayed on a few designated servers instead of flooding the entire game? Quality statement right there. By isolating something you don't like AND reaping the benefits of their existence, you'd think everyone would be on board with these future changes... And to think it's 2008 and people are still stuck in the past... Too bad. -Man, I really do love Runescape, and I'm sure if it was a real person I would of asked it to marry me by now.

Huta Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Bananamatic, join up and tag along with my clan... We eat those namecallers for breakfast... Especially in the ThZaar Fightpits where its fun... They keep on tyring to kill you because they believe they are better then you... But when they see you brought an additional 30 people, they call you a clan-noob and leave... This basicly solves the problem on that world... The more fun it is when you add them to friends and track them to another world, and ruin their day there as well :) That sounds like immense fun. That just sounds like you suck, but hey, whatever floats your boat. If someone [cabbage]talks me at the pits I drop him solo or if it's absolutely needed one other friend. You really want to ruin some gimp like that's day? Bringing 30 people don't do it, nobody could survive that. You want to dent my ego, bringing a whole 30 people to kill me because I 2 hit you earlier is going to accomplish the exact opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Shahdie Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Though I completely agree that its spreading like a disease...this is the general attitudes of most teenagers now adays (I'm technically an adult as of November of last year eh heh). Its all about humiliating another to help deal with personal insecurities. In layman's terms: they are purely jealous of you because they are not as good as you (whether combat wise or intellect wise). Another factor that contributes to this, is the desire to intimidate an opponent into submission. Mouthing off is strangely effective and may cause you to easily lose sense of strategy and just get angry. Don't fall for this truly poor and pathetic tactic. All in all, pkers such as that give the wrong impression of what the true "Pking" attitude is all about. ~Retired 13-July-2010~Thanks for the great memories folks :).

Omali Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 poster above: LOL, you are a pc result yourself. http://runehead.com/clans/ml.php?clan=pcelite5. Sad. What was your level 1-2 years ago? -_- you noob. Replying to bolded area: So if you are losing, players like you would put on Protect from Melee and run away? If you do this, damn are you that scared of losing pixels yet you flame "pkers" for following player-made rules? You aren't the only one following "the rules", he/she is as well. These are the most commonly accepted rule when f2p no-armoring (in high llv crater at least): - Don't safe - Don't item protect - Don't run away if loosing - Don't call a buddy to help you out If you are truly a better player/pker, you can beat the opponent while following these rules. If you are not, then you are pixel-hungry therefore making you a nerd which you so much dislike (pkers flame = players like you think they are nerds. pkers follow rules = same thing) Hippocrates.. -_- sad new era players >______>. Wouldn't it be funny if Jagex took away all the experienced gained from Pest Control ever? Hah! I can imagine 90% of the current high levels going back to being low-mid levels =\ buh edit: its pathetic how users don't reply to my posts. If they do, I reply back and then I make them look dumb so they report me making themselves look smart & educated -_- It's not pixel hugging, it's called preserving your own welfare. How exactly does wanting to preserve one's items make them a hypocrite for going against player made rules they don't agree with? And the point of the story is that he refuses to follow the rules, considering he will get flamed whether he follows them or not. I always like reading your posts, Rarex, because you continue to remind us why you were banned for being an immature troll with nothing to say, contradicting yourself and doing circles while making no point whatsoever in your posts. Lulz, if u r not follow da rulz, u ar nerd. Yea, great job stuffing the point of not player made rules being silly and going against many fabrics of the game's freedoms of choice, just lump on the personal attacks, it makes you righter, as I've pointed out in the past. And great job pulling out the H word showing you have no idea how to use it effectively in a sentence. And yes, whether or not pkers are busy flaming or following their stupid rules, they will be seen as control freaks and nerds (Not the good kind.) by the rest of the game, because that's what they are. How is that hipocracy? Feel free to reply to my post and make me "look dumb". And by that I mean say something intelligable, not pm me "lolz noob".

mario_sunny Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 In the wilderness days potions, food, armor, weapons, ect. were all at great prices. Without pkers skillers suffer, without skillers pkers suffer. It's like an equation. I think skillers can ignore a few insults and in return make a lot more money. Reviving pking will revive profitable skilling. If jagex doesn't screw this up (oh please god), natures may rise 300gp, barrows may become an awesome way to make money again, and... godswords may go up in price! Eh...

brando13a Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Like a masquerade ball, Runescape, and even this forum community is merely a way for people to slap on a costume and prance around pretending that their Id has fully taken over. Pker's (thats where the spammy idiocracy began) Are the metaphorical gaming Id that is inside everyone. Peaceful and respectful skillers who are polite and courteous are the metaphorical super ego of gaming society. and people who succumb to both, are what I like to call "not-robots". You'd be hard pressed to find someone who didnt get a little flustered when they're about to loose 30mill in equipment, equivilant to many hours of tedium, to a total stranger who wont compensate, appologize or in any way console them for their loss. It's the people on the other end who are still jerks I dont understand, Personally when I used to PK, I used the opposite tactic, I would type out a very respectful question, that would take time for them to answer as a distraction. A polite distraction, but a distraction nonthe less. something like asking them their stats witha nice compliment, or just being nice in general throws people off guard these days. So when people are Chump-stains and mock you for owning them- simply be nice and compliment them non-sarcastically, it'll knock their socks off and gain you +10 respect. edit- for those of you unfamiliar with froidian theory- Id= the evil part of your personality Super ego= your 'good' or moral values. your ego is the combination of the two. this is just a simple version for understanding, not the deeper version that you may learn about in high school and psychology classes. Reverents can be a pain, but you can run away from them. Just curious, do they still have teleblocking ability?Fear the church, the reverents have 85 magic!!!!

sohkmj1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 If one ice barrage causes them to yell "omg u nub lololololololzzzz" then autocast ice barrage. If you pray melee, and they go "omg prayer nub lul", they probably fail. You trained your prayer, you deserve to use it. No one is forcing you not to.

lord_troyus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I HATE the fact that Pkers are considered worse than skillers - it really eats me up inside. Yeah when skillers turn to pking im sure that they've had bad experiences wether they died or not. But its individuals. Saying pkers are horrible, nasty and/or inpolite is discrimination. Have you ever had to hop worlds due to someone jumping you while you were training on a monster. Or perhaps thieving and someone flaimed you. Thats likely a skiller there - but purely because your in a PvP situation if a pker taunts you then - OH OUTRAGE!!! I think the majority of this discussion (not all) have there facts wrong. Alot of clan Pkers (or warrers - but they still player killed and looted) were/are infact very nice people. People get kicked from these clans of pkers for flaiming. After each war you see a friendly "gf ***". Adding to this alot of clans enforce honour, where nobody will crash another war and will sometimes even act as an anti-crash team. I've yet to see polite rules enforced this strongly in the skiller community. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e_cLCibqSxk&fmt=18 -- Lord_Troyus - This is PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobocop Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm not convinced this attitude is exclusive to pkers. I have been training hunter abit on red chins. The amount of trash talking, stealing spots and rudeness is incredible. I haven't heard the acronym 'gf' so much since edgeville wildy. There has always been a certain percentage of rude players in the game. Does this mean the RS community is going down hill, nope. It's the same in real life, there is an idiot around every corner. The difference in RS is the degree of anonominity allows for a higher percentage of idiots. It has been like this for the 5 years I have played this game and hasn't really changed much. To peg the attitude on a pker or a skiller is false but the result of this attitude is annoying all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgudi Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I feel a hell of a lot of these insults origionated from pures getting cocky. This is not a generalisation, it's just from my experience, that seems to be the way things go. I used to PK in Rune Boots, whip, rune plate, rune legs, zerker, rune defender, ledgends cape, dds and dragon gloves. If i died i would lose 2.5m (At the time). So i took sharks, super set, tele tab. Everytime i ate on above 20hp, i would get called a noob. I distinctly remember this one guy that was 95 strength at level 95. I was on about 35 hp, he pulled out a dds. So i ate 1 shark to stop myself getting 1 hit (Considering he was smiting i'm pretty sure that he would have drained my prayer). He then hit 31-16 with his 1 dds special. I would have been dead easily, i was close to it aswell. I was on about 10 hp so i ate 2 times. I then get called a safer repeatedly. But he was too busy typing to realise he was on under 20hp and i pulled a dds spec off in time to get a free obby cape, dds and glory amulet :D Most of the time i find it to be the pures who say "Safer" or "Def noob" and then freeze you in place and range you...

Omali Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I feel a hell of a lot of these insults origionated from pures getting cocky. This is not a generalisation, it's just from my experience, that seems to be the way things go. Ding! Every type of player gets blasted. If you can't deal with it, get off the internet. But Sirgudi makes a very good point, a lot of the general hatred towards pkers came from a section of pking, the pures. And even in that, it was a section of those pures that came out to destroy the reputation of all pkers. The kind of pures I am referring to are the ones that drop traded from their mains, justifying the unfair advantage by saying everyone does it anyway. The kind of players who threaten to sue Jagex on the RSOF becaue a weapon accidentally leveled their defense to 2 and now they're quitting because Jagex ruined their "life". The kind you'll often see ranting that there's no dragon armor equivalent for pures that requires no def levels. The kind of players who rioted after Jagex made it clear that luring was a bannable offense. The kind you'd see posting on the rants forum with a message like "Why was I perma-muted? All I did was tell a player to go [bleep] himself with a [bleep][bleep] and then [long string of *'s] until it falls off. Jagex are clearly biased because I'm a pure, they want me to quit! The kind of players that probably sat in Lumbridge and lured new players with "trust trades", or to the dark wizards south of Varrok (I used to set up new accounts to see how long I'd get before a scam or lure was used against me). These players are hypocrites, and the scum of the game. They only have morals and values when it is convenient to them. Pures are considered the arrogant children (who think they're clever for manipulating the combat system) of the pkers, but it's not like skillers are left out of these assumptions. If you're decent on the overall highscores, you're an autoer/account sharer/ nerd with not life. If you're higher, you are a no life nerd, and if you're lower, you are a newb and therefore lower than the fecal matter of a small woodland chipmunk. Before the trade update, if you weren't willing to give your whip as "charity" to a player who was "just hacked", you were a no life nerd. Replace "give as charity" with "Lend for free" then you have the current predicament. Coin-wise, players begging for 3k in f2p worlds remind me of hobos in New York City begging for change, the only difference is the hobos are old enough to drive. Moral of the story: Both sides get equally bad treatment, it just seems like your side gets it more because you pay more attention to negative views than positive or negative views on the other side. Moral of the moral of the story: Runescape's population is a black void of arrogant children, less-than-offensive immaturity, and acts of idiocy that turn Social Darwinism into a new scientific fact. The strong genes survive, the rest can be found in a Habbo Hotel chat room, browsing /b/, at Falador rioting, getting banned from every venture they come by, and figuring out the fabled million ways to pronounce and spell "noob".

Lt_Wolfe Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Lt Wolfe Edit: Please note that I used to be a Mage pure, but then saw the error of my ways and reformed. I am now anti-pking, but while I am against PvP, I do understand the need for it in any game. It is for this reason that I support mini-games such as BH and Clan Wars, as well as servers dedicated to PKing. I do not, however, support the ability for pkers to move between servers on a whim. I'm really sick of people thinking EVERY SINGLE Pker has a bad attitude :wall: Just because some has, doesnt mean everyone You do realize that, even if you aren't part of that sub-group, being part of their culture makes you instantly susceptible to any and all attacks on pkers, right? Even if it WERE only a few pkers that were like this, it has happened so many times that people are getting a bad image of pkers. Whether or not you want to associate yourself with them doesn't matter: you are going to be lumped in with them. It is your job as a pk to cut the others out of the picture. If you want people to start respecting pkers then you need to give them a reason to do so. I respect 3 Hit U, but only because of his history and his manners. If he were to start saying "lol nub" at every turn I'd instantly throw him to the corner. This game is no place for people like those so called "some". But if this is an image problem as you say it is (that is, it's not true and that people only think that it's all pkers), then the pking community needs to work to set this straight. Give us a reason to think that pkers are worthy of our respect. Show us that we were wrong. It's not just us pker's, it's a few in each sector of rs!! It is predominantly coming from he pking sector, which is why everybody notices and complains about it. It's not just a myth, it's true. I would understand if it were just a handful of people complaining about it, but it's a large group if not a majority. You can't ignore that truth, and the fact that so many people are noticing it. Maybe it is a problem, and maybe it really does need to be addressed. I know alot of pkers who dont flame (50+) your mainly thinking of pures and runners sorry edgville pkers. If you dont like the flames dont go. I like this post... it says at first "it's only a small group that flames" then he turns around to say "you should expect it by now." That's awesome. He proves himself the dumber, and I don't have to do any work. I'm not convinced this attitude is exclusive to pkers. I have been training hunter abit on red chins. The amount of trash talking, stealing spots and rudeness is incredible. I haven't heard the acronym 'gf' so much since edgeville wildy. There has always been a certain percentage of rude players in the game. Does this mean the RS community is going down hill, nope. It's the same in real life, there is an idiot around every corner. The difference in RS is the degree of anonominity allows for a higher percentage of idiots. It has been like this for the 5 years I have played this game and hasn't really changed much. To peg the attitude on a pker or a skiller is false but the result of this attitude is annoying all the same. There's the difference! Hunter is an easy skill, lets face it. With an easy to level skill comes the kids that want a quick profit. These kids are the same exact ones that came right out of the fields of the Wilderness. Your experiences while Hunting are the exact same as most peoples' while PKing/venturing out into the Wilderness, except it was in a different environment. Different place, same people. I HATE the fact that Pkers are considered worse than skillers - it really eats me up inside. Yeah when skillers turn to pking im sure that they've had bad experiences wether they died or not. But its individuals. Saying pkers are horrible, nasty and/or inpolite is discrimination. Have you ever had to hop worlds due to someone jumping you while you were training on a monster. Or perhaps thieving and someone flaimed you. Thats likely a skiller there - but purely because your in a PvP situation if a pker taunts you then - OH OUTRAGE!!! I think the majority of this discussion (not all) have there facts wrong. Alot of clan Pkers (or warrers - but they still player killed and looted) were/are infact very nice people. People get kicked from these clans of pkers for flaiming. After each war you see a friendly "gf ***". Adding to this alot of clans enforce honour, where nobody will crash another war and will sometimes even act as an anti-crash team. I've yet to see polite rules enforced this strongly in the skiller community. A) So what if it's discrimination? I don't remember anything stating that it's illegal in an online game. B) You are assuming that it's a skiller... there's a big difference. And even still, what is your definition of a skiller? Somebody that doesn't pk? There are mains, there are skillers, then there are pkers. Skillers generally are the ones with the most patience and the most intelligence, which is why they are generally favored over pkers like you. At least they can spell "their" instead of "there". C) I have no doubt that a lot of pkers are nice, but what I DO doubt is that the majority of them are nice. PvP itself has one objective: to kill other players, right? If so, that means that you are trying to seek any way possible to do this. A death generally isn't a very pleasurable experience for somebody, so I think it's more than fair to say that you are inflicting "pain" or at very least "discomfort" on somebody by pking them. With this logic (I hope you're still following me here), it's safe to say that the main goal of pking is to cause pain and/or discomfort to other players. I don't see where this has any hint of "honour" or even a hint of being "polite". I dont see where u get off saying this is a pkers attitude. trash talking is in every sport, and video game out there. they dont make headsets for nothing. your problem is that you care. it's a videogame man who cares. dont let no lifers ruin your hour of fun everyday. Plus, JaGex didn't let us have chat filters for nothing. you knew since day one if you dont want to talk to a person anymore, add them to your ignore list. You're saying that they invented headsets for the use of trash talking and not communicating with the other players to have a lively game? I didn't realize that every sport had to come down to which side has the best insults. This RIGHT HERE is why I hate pkers. They can't think straight, and it ruins everything for everybody. They think that it's all about insults and one-upping other people. They don't understand that you are supposed to be civil, and kind. poster above: LOL, you are a pc result yourself. http://runehead.com/clans/ml.php?clan=pcelite5. Sad. What was your level 1-2 years ago? -_- you noob. Here is what I figure. Lets say you are dueling. You have full veracs versus their dharoks. The dharoks guy prays, so you pray. He calls you a noob for praying. Magnify this by 10x and you will have the new pk worlds. No matter what you do, pkers will flame, regardless of if you follow their rules or not. I rarely pk because I don't like the atmosphere, but yea as was said earlier they just want an easier way to kill you. In f2p if someone says no armor, I love to just laugh at them and kill them. If they are stupid enough to follow the "pk" rules let them, but that doesn't mean you have to. They are looking for the best way to kill you, and if you follow their rules most likely they wil win. They are a player killer by profession. So here is my advice ignore their childishness. They can't help it if they are stupid enough to follow their rules, so just let them "no armor" and call you a "prayer noob" but in the end if the fight is fair and you don't follow their stupid rules you should win the fight. \ Replying to bolded area: So if you are losing, players like you would put on Protect from Melee and run away? If you do this, damn are you that scared of losing pixels yet you flame "pkers" for following player-made rules? You aren't the only one following "the rules", he/she is as well. These are the most commonly accepted rule when f2p no-armoring (in high llv crater at least): - Don't safe - Don't item protect - Don't run away if loosing - Don't call a buddy to help you out If you are truly a better player/pker, you can beat the opponent while following these rules. If you are not, then you are pixel-hungry therefore making you a nerd which you so much dislike (pkers flame = players like you think they are nerds. pkers follow rules = same thing) Hippocrates.. -_- sad new era players >______>. Wouldn't it be funny if Jagex took away all the experienced gained from Pest Control ever? Hah! I can imagine 90% of the current high levels going back to being low-mid levels =\ buh edit: its pathetic how users don't reply to my posts. If they do, I reply back and then I make them look dumb so they report me making themselves look smart & educated -_- I myself have yet to ever gain a level from Pest Control, but what makes it so much worse than using other methods? Last I saw, a Pest Control level was just as many experience points as any other level. Your views on Pest Control are like the views of pkers by the people you are arguing against. You say they are being biased, yet you are biased yourself. You should check yourself before you continue talking, as you don't seem to understand what you are saying. The line I really don't get is where you say "If you do this, damn are you that scared of losing pixels yet you flame "pkers" for following player-made rules?" How does self preservation even begin to compare to following rules that somebody else creates? I worked hard for my items; whether or not they are real, physical items is not important, they are each a representation of the time and effort I have put into acquiring them, just like your precious "non-PC levels". Besides, if they are just pixels, why do you want them so badly? What makes them so desirable to you, yet you think that players don't have the right to attempt to keep their own items? Oh that's right, you just want the money to be handed to you on a silver plate, no work needed. Typical pker. Pure F2P Hiscores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
