So, I'm playing RC Minigame to get Law tabs since i need cash for F2P BH. Theres a hell lot of people there. But more than half on each team dont do anything cept stand around saying:

 

 

 

"work harder green/yellow"

 

"stupid green/yellow noobs, you lost! get more orbs!"

 

"you guys **** at this game! come on more orbs!"

 

 

 

and yet they themselves arent doing anything, just freeloading off the actual players hard work.

 

 

 

also, there was this one player who b*tched around and didnt do anything (name is below, hidden, only for those who wanna know), and when his team (in this case yellow) lost the air altar (first altar), he quit, and made the game end. therefore, we got like 70 tokens.

jagex needs to fix this! i hate working hard to win an altar, and then when a noob on one team decides to leave, he ends the game for all of us. i know jagex changed so that if the teams become unbalanced, the game ends as to not have a stacked remainder, but they should also make a system where if you dont attract/repel at least 10 green/yellow orbs (attract/repel) in total (u cant keep attract/repel same one over and over), the game kicks you out because you are not doing anything but freeloading, and when ur team starts to lose you quit and make everyone else quit which is so not how the game should be.

Why not play with your friends? You're bound to be teamed up with idiots if you play with strangers.. :|

none of my friends that were on have 50+ rc (ive tried to do 5050 with them on a empty world)

you still get some tokens if you win at least 1 altar. Meh, ah well, can't really do anything about it, like those damn noobs at cwars who sabotage their own team for fun -.-

I only join through blue, because I know that once I end up joining with the green team, theres someone else who can get in on yellow. And If I get on yellow, well so be it, I'm going to have a difficult time because theres going to be people on green who know what they're doing.

 

 

 

Anyhow - I advocate joining through blue only, just because I like balanced teams. It peeves me to no end when somebody leaves their team, and perpetuates the cycle of "FFS noobs quit leaving" and resetting the clock. It also peeves me when I see 10 people standing around the yellow wizard, trying to get in.

 

[hide=6 hints for noobs]

• [*:2xzi9rkn]If you're at the mind, earth, or body altar, and all you've done is stood next to the altar, attracting orbs in, theres good chances that you've haven't helped your team out at all. Those altars require you to go get the orbs, not wait for them to spawn near you. In a perfect situation, 70-90% of the people will be out at the outsides, and the other 10-30% will help finish it.
   
  [*:2xzi9rkn]If you're repelling your orb at the air altar, you're probably doing something wrong.
   
  [*:2xzi9rkn]If you don't know whether you're attracting or repelling, check before you click. The only thing worse than someone who doesn't help is someone who tries... but fails miserably.
   
  [*:2xzi9rkn]One person to an orb at a time, please. Unless theres more than 10 people on your team. Then go for it. This brings me to point #5
   
  [*:2xzi9rkn]Once you've manipulated the orb as much as you can, break off of it. TBH you shouldn't wait for it to get to you/go to the spot, break off of it between 2 and 3 squares before it gets there. It'll still float on. Also that gives others the chance to keep on moving it, getting it to the end goal.
   
  [*:2xzi9rkn]If you can't follow any of these instructions, then blocking / unblocking is for you. Watch carefully where your opponents orbs are, and block off the area where they're going to. Just make sure you block it before it gets there, and that you don't look stupid pulling up a block as the orb floats on through. And unblock once the orb goes away, because you might just be hurting your own team.

I concur.

 

If somebody drops out of a team before the match starts, causing the timer to reset, they shouldn't be allowed to join until after that game gets done.

There is always going to be people like that in all of the games in here. They way to go to the game but they don't want to do any actual work in said game. It has been happening in cwars forever. If it is really bugging you that much, play with your friends. You are much more likely to run into this problem with random people than you are with your buddies.

 

 

 

And trust me. You don't want Jagex to try to fix it themselves. Remember the chaos when they added the hit requirement to Pest Control?

GOP isn't the only game like that. People do it in clan wars too. Just ignore them and hop worlds till you find less a--holes.

Isn't this the same with any mini-game? There's always someone standing around ruining it for everyone else..

in this tho, if one person quits the whole game ends

I've experienced the same thing every time I've played the mini-game. I've stopped playing the mini-game a while ago, it's just not fun. I don't like it, I only played it when I did for the tokens to get some of the robes.

 

 

 

The game is a failure. Period.

The minigame might be faiure of a minigame, but it doesn't fail at a secondary way of working on runecrafting. A minigame isn't there just to be a game, it's there for a more fun way of working on a certain skill

In about 3 hours someone is gonna post a Rant saying someone called them a 'N00B' at RC Minigame.. I hope this wont be your doing. #-o
