Infi Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I honestly cannot see the correlation between the two. Why must people inflate when they start Runescape when they obviously haven't? E.g.: -I've been playing for 10 years -I started in 2005 -Etc. Does it accompany some sort of elitism that only playing early will achieve? 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamReaper Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 People can make everything accompany elitism. Some people can't be bothered to make themselves elite and have to rely on petty things that don't matter except in idle conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rkid Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I also hate whenever I see a "RS career: Something/Something/2004 - 2008 GF" Or, been playing since 2004. Like I give a rat's [wagon] how long you've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The only thing that playing early will achieve is probably bragging rights. That's all a person really cares about, so people usually flaunt that stat like it's something we all have to know. :roll: Linux User/Enthusiast | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Stack Overflow Member | GIMP User...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.

Ned Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It is funny that some people will instantly respect a person who claims they have played for x years. Maybe they should look at levels or quest points or just plain personality for their respectability. Want to help the Tip.It Crew? Visit the Website Updates & Corrections forum!

That's not certainly the case, I can say (without being a hypocrite to this topic, I don't really care when I started anyways) I've been playing since 2002 and my total is sub-1600.

I won't look at levels, because someone could have got those in a matter of a year and a half (a-la N0valyfe). I won't look at quest points because people don't always like doing quests. I will happily look at personality, because behind the numbers, digits, and pixels, that's all that counts long after the server's offline.

Ezz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've never really noticed players lying/bragging about how long they have played RuneScape tbh, so I don't really have much to say :? In what circumstances does this usually happen? [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what circumstances does this usually happen? Mostly in signatures and any thread that has any remote connection 3/4+ years back. Example: Thread: "Any realize firemaking exp is a bit minuscule?" Responder: "Well in RS1, (I started RS in 2002, so I should know) -Blah blah blah blah-" Example2: (In someone's signature) "RS Career: Jan 12, 2001 - September 24 2008 GF I played long enough" Something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'd think it also could be used in arguments, or general counters to insults. Ex: "Noob" "lol ur the noob I been playing since 1994" Something like that? I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I also hate whenever I see a "RS career: Something/Something/2004 - 2008 GF" Or, been playing since 2004. Like I give a rat's [wagon] how long you've been playing. Who cares what do you think? Do I suck now since I have that kind of signature? Playing since may 2001 and proud not on having any skill over 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauke Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Who cares what do you think? Do I suck now since I have that kind of signature? Ha, I've been playing a month longer than you have.

Zierro Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It's elitism. Some people like having others think they are "RS vets" and some people like having others think they are "super efficient". Lying on the internet sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Pig20 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think if I saw a lvl 80 that said he had played since classic I would be tempted to flame but I wouldn't because I'm a good pig. O:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armourdilo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Anyone who brags about playing for a long time is silly, it's clearly better to have all that knowledge, experience, openness, personality, levels and to belong to part of a community and have a good reputation in a small amount of time - I started RuneScape yesterday! :thumbsup: (fully aware of my lack of most of these things :oops: ) It's what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeg Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think it's just a case of "I've been playing since...insert random date here... therefore I know whereof I speak. Further to that, because I've been playing...insert number of weeks/months/years... longer than you, I must, logically, know far more than you."
