October 18, 200817 yr BlueLancer, the only update that we would "deserve" is the holiday events, which I said before, as those are meant to generally be a time of celebration or togetherness. Although theres always those people who think that this or that should be included in f2p, and you have to face the fact that everyone has those things that they think would be kool to have (f2p or p2p).
October 18, 200817 yr Give the corrupt weapons their specials (but doing so should shave time off some of it's lifespan). I think that's enough. Giving f2p the whole lot is too much effort for something that may make members less appealing. ~ W ~

October 18, 200817 yr Some stronger weapons would be great. But specs? No way! Would be too overpowered in F2P. I was very glad when I saw the corrupted weapons didn't have specs. If you add specs, you might add better armour, sharks and even Catherby to catch the Sharks aswell. Specs on F2P with the best food Swordies (Anchovy pizzas are higher but 2-bite) and common food Lobs, and the highest armour being Rune, specs in f2p would be overpowered.

October 18, 200817 yr What was the saying again? You give them your hand, and they take the whole arm? Jagex, just stop the pleasing part and announce f2p to be complete and never to be updated again. The more you give them updates, the more they will bleed for more and more. If you don't pay, you should not have a right to ask for anything, but still they keep coming out and asking for updates... First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

October 18, 200817 yr [hide=]Freeplay may not deserve Dragon weapons, but it isn't like Members really appreciates them, either. I've said it since Splitbark armor came out -- give freeplay what we don't use, and create a demand for it. -.- Who cares if we don't appreciate them? As for that matter, where are you pulling this assumption from that members don't appreciate dragon weapons? I certainly appreciate my dragon scimitar, goes very well in combination with a rune defender for training strength. F2P don't deserve to get things that fall down the P2P ladder when new equipment comes out, in fact F2P don't deserve anything full stop. It's the "who cares if we don't appreciate it" attitude that makes me feel the way I feel. Many of the things that Dragon weapons have done have been replaced (read: usurped) by Whips, the Saradomin Sword, and all other manners of higher-order weapons. On top of that, it's very hard (if not impossible) to find someone with full Dragon, fighting someone else. I also said that Freeplay doesn't deserve it, but you haven't refuted the point that Members really appreciates these things. All Dragon is used for now is just a shiny status symbol.[/hide] Do you know how much a whip costs and a saradomin sword i was not able to afford a whip till 90 85 combat what do you think i used till then my good old d long and dds the owned till i was able to afford the whip. basicly what you are saying is that f2p need the whip when the prices go down... Yeah I can't spell get over it!

October 18, 200817 yr Dragon weapons for f2p? Fine. Specials? Pay the price. :| There's cake through here, apparently.
October 18, 200817 yr This thought just came to me. What if jagex allowed people to use members objects in F2P. For example: My membership runs out while having Full Dragon. Now ill be able to still use it in F2P(i did pay for it after all) BUT, i cannot sell these items(unless on P2P server) and i cannot do any combat related minigames with them. I will be able to take it of and wield it again while being F2P though. This will strictly be for the use of training then. This gives P2P'er the chance to still use their armour when their membership runs out(no specs though). It has its advantages and disadvantages. |Tip.it's TOP F.o.G player|Current Goals: 95STR/95ATK/95RANGED|

If you don't pay, you should not have a right to ask for anything, but still they keep coming out and asking for updates... And where did you get that from? Where do you see F2p'ers asking for more updates? The majority of the F2p'ers that have posted here have said that they are fine with what we got. I'll be REALLY happy if Jagex announces that F2p is complete, that's what I've always wanted. Time for some slightly (exaggerated) sarcasm: :mrgreen: First of all, Don't give them freeloaders a damn [cabbage] anymore! If you pay for membership, you have the right to act superior to the "F2p people" Treat them like they treat prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, (worse if possible). Limit them, We can't cut a leg so we'll just not let them get past level 40 in any skill. A stray dog's opinion in RS is worth more than the Human's opinion behind the computer. We pay, so we are the bosses of this company. If F2p (may it never happen god) gets an update we must riot and bring it up everytime someone talks about F2p/F2p updates. Even when the players say that they DON'T want any updates but the company still updates the game we should bash the players for getting them. Statements made above are not directed at Jagex. <---(NOT sarcasm) God bless RuneScape and may you please help them ignorant people. :pray: :-w
October 19, 200817 yr What was the saying again? You give them your hand, and they take the whole arm?

If you don't pay, you should not have a right to ask for anything, but still they keep coming out and asking for updates... I agree. F2P is supposed to be a demo version which gives you a taster of members. Since you arent supporting the developers by paying them, you are lucky to get updates. So the fact that F2P actually gets updates is good in itself. Most MMOs/MMORPGs dont even have a Trial, and those that do, they call it a trial, because that is what it is. A watered down version (or the full version for a very short time). So in theory, you should get what you are given, and not ask for more. this is not flame, I am simply stating my opinion.

October 19, 200817 yr Free to Play does *NOT* deserve Dragon Weapons, no matter how many people considers them "nooby" in p2p. If free to play wants dragon weapons, they can pay $5.99 and become a member like everyone else. Free to play RuneScape is a DEMO of the actual game, I don't care what anyone else says because that is what it is a DEMO. If they don't like it it then too damn bad, they can go play something else.
October 19, 200817 yr Give the corrupt weapons their specials (but doing so should shave time off some of it's lifespan). I think that's enough. Giving f2p the whole lot is too much effort for something that may make members less appealing. I doubt it would make members less apealing. I doubt anything would.

Dragon is considred "noob" armour by many in P2P. There are still ALOT of more other appealing armour that would make p2p much more atractive than just dragon in f2p But we're not talking about people already in p2p, we're talking about people in f2p who are thinking about becoming p2p. A lot of people in f2p do consider the non-corrupt dragon armour/weapons as very powerful, which is justified if the best you can get is full rune. Just giving it to f2pers just throws away an incentive to become a member, even if the vast majority of p2pers don't actually use it. ~ W ~
October 19, 200817 yr I don't see a problem with the actual suggestion, however your rationale of why F2P deserves it is lacking quite a bit. Just because the effectiveness of the weapons has decreased in P2P and because it would make F2P PKing more profitable doesn't mean F2P deserves this update. Along the same lines of thinking, I could just say, "F2P deserves usage of the Abyss because members don't make as much money as they used to back in the old days with this skill and also because it would make F2P RCing more profitable."

You did something wrong if you could only afford a whip at 85-90 combat. be honest when you first started playing i mean first account and everything did you know all that about mercheting and other thing. You might have and mabey I did do something wrong. and any way at 70 atk 60 str 60 def 70 hp 44 prayer 65 mage and 60 range you are 81 combat. Yeah I can't spell get over it!

Who gives you the right to say who "deserves" something or doesn't? Because you pay for members (which I do as well) you think you can pick who should and shouldn't get an item? Even if f2p was to receive dragon items on down the road, that will not effect your gameplay at all, nor will it decrease the amount of membership (or rather, decrease by a significant amount) that Jagex receives. Main point is...stop trying to tell others what they do or don't deserve. Members didn't "deserve" to get Godswords, but they still received them.

Maybe you could take the into consideration and rethink you whole 'they give nothing...don't deserve argument'. On Topic: I think that Dragon Weapons could be good for F2P, as they have no decent weapons, but the weapons should not have the Specs. That would make them too over powered. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

What was I thinking :roll: If you seriously think adding some form of weapon, that doesn't even have to be Dragon, will decrease the f2p->p2p membership process by a good amount then all I have to say is lol. F2p will never be comparable to p2p for the simple fact that there is so much more content in p2p.
