To prevent RWT, Jagex made tradelimit and ruined Pking. The alternative for a while was BH, but now PVP has arrived. The thing is: alot players who loved pking quit game when tradelimit came. Because they couldn't do what they liked. The honest players who loved pking, took the blow...

 

 

 

Now we got Randoms and players who Auto. Just like how players who RWT messed up the game for honest players: players who Auto are doing exact same thing.

 

 

 

Randoms are the thing Jagex has made to prevent Autors. The thing is: randoms steals the time of honest players.

 

 

 

I have done atleast Prison Pete random over 20+ times. I am sure i have done 20+ of others random as well.

 

 

 

So you can ask yourself: how much time of the time i have played/play Runescape has randoms taken me?

 

 

 

2 hours? 4 hours?? 6 hours? a day? 4 days?

 

 

 

The time randoms take: adds up, and i don't think that we are talking about days but hours.

 

 

 

It stinks. I am fed up with randoms. Jagex said they were gonna remove most of them, but i have not noticed any change.

What bothers me with those randoms is that occasionally I get abducted in the middle of a fight. Or, for example, right after a fight when I'm about to pick up the loot. That is extremely annoying and totally unnecessary. A random once in a while when you're, for example, woodcutting... fine. But the hindrance in combat and such is just unacceptable. I mean, the bots are out of the game.. cut us some slack already.

Yup, random events in combat situation can get you into a sticky situation sometimes. Especially events that whisk you away to other parts of Runescape or Scaperune just as you are about to tele on low health. The only good thing about randoms that does that in combat situations is when they cause the monsters to become aggressive again; good for safe, 'afk-able' places.

 

 

 

Prison Pete sure is annoying. It doesn't make sense that he can't pull the lever and pop them balloons on his own (he still has his arms and legs, it's not as if he's maimed or something). -.-

 

 

 

Molly is another one... Sometimes the twin doesn't stand still for even 1 sec and it really wastes everyone else's time trying to maneuovre the claw to grab her. How the twin managed to escape time and time again is beyond anyone of us here.

 

 

 

Drill Demon sure needs to spend more time training his fellow demons that get killed day-in day-out by players instead of whisking humans to his lame, little boot-camp...

 

 

 

If I am not wrong, JAGeX has a system which can trace macroers so in that case, I wonder why the randoms target legit players. Sure, it breaks the monotony of grinding and gives out some decent rewards. However sometimes the time spent to complete the random doesn't justify the rewards given.

 

 

 

I would rather they not have any randoms and program randoms to target only autoers (there's still some of them 'cos i have seen quite a few obvious ones; yet they aren't being banned yet -.- ) or at least program certain randoms to not appear during combat at certain High Risk areas.

 

 

 

Whisking someone away before they pick up their loot/arrows is certainly irritating. Perhaps at least allow the action to be completed first before activating the random event would be good? For now, we can do nothing but to rant and wait :) till something happens.

The announced that they were gonna get rid of some of them, so just wait it out, getting 5 diamonds for free aint so bad. On average i make about 50k from mazes also.

The reward you get from randoms does not justify the time spent on them.

 

 

 

I rather earn cash with my own choice: than get teleported and get rewards that is random.

 

 

 

You earn sometimes well on the rewards: but you also get teleported sometimes when you get a loot from a monster.

 

 

 

Example:: i got a rannar herb=5k?

 

 

 

Got teleported...

In the fishing guild, randoms run non-stop. Over the course of about four hours last night, I got two drunken dwarfs, two frogs, three sandwich ladies, two mollies, a security guard, a strange plant, one MoM, two Turpentines, and about five boxes.

I agree, some randoms are annoying, but I actually really like some of them, specifically the Genie and the Surprise Exam, cuts down the cost of prayer for F2P.

Annoying during combat, yes, but I find them a nice break from training. Unless I'm at metal dragons or trying to time things :roll:

 

Macroing and AFKing goes on, though - they have to keep them there.

as annoying as randoms r they r needed because they r the only barrier between those macroers

Only one I think is rewarding is Genies and Book's, really.

So your counting them, right?

 

 

 

We are all still waiting for Jagex to finish their "random tweaking".

think, would u rather sacrafice 1 minute of ur time or cheapskates ruining the prices for certaiin items and hogging all the trees? personally i nvr liked pking so im happy they took it away cuz ppl just ran. if i like runnign after things i can do imp catcher on new accounts. i think jagex made a brilliant move w/ this even tho i H A T E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the GE and its methods cuz it really [bleep]s things up but its necassary( imagine having to yell out like old times then having to worry about trade margins). jagex dosent toture u for no reason, they sacrafice something good for the well being.

Actually, yes. The first few I didn't, but after I noticed their frequency, I started counting. I've noticed that different randoms come in packs. You'll see a lot of the same kind at once, then another and so on and so forth.

I hardly ever get them \ But they are still annoying

atleast you get something from them like a cool emote...

 

 

 

but so what if its like 2 minutes a day, so what if it all adds up...

 

 

 

Sleeping in eats into your day doesn't it?

Today I got, in 1 black demon task, 5 randoms: 3 Evil twins, 1 Drill demon, 1 Prison Pete, 1 Maze and then some Pirates and Strange old men. I don't mind the second kind much (unless you get a mysterious box), but the ones that teleport you are really annoying and unnecessary.

The only time this has annoyed me severly is when I got a Sandwich lady random while fighting a steel dragon. Now, I'm quite sure that no-one decides to auto at Steel Dragons. So getting a sandwich lady when I've just started to kill a steel dragon is quite annoying.

THE MOST ANNOYING 1 IS THE 1 WHERE U GET FROG TOKENS. I HAVE BOUT 20 TOKENS NOT INCLUDING THE 1S I DROPPED THEY SHUD STOP THE RE'S THAT U HAVE ALL COSTUMES AND EMOTES ON :wall: :wall: :wall:

getting free gems from randoms is easy cash. they dont take that long anyways

Rannar herb = cost 5K+

 

 

 

1-5 Noted gems = between 2-3K

 

 

 

It's not easy cash when you loose a monster loot.

I agree completely.

 

 

 

I was in TGOP and after a long hard fight my team had won all the altars. We were on the nature altar with maybe 10 seconds left.

 

 

 

I got drill demon, and came back to find the message " You must be In A TGOP game to go through this portal" and I lost my tokens. So dumb. :(

I agree completely.

Oh how good it would feel to get a Rune Scimitar drop from him... Sadly we can' t shishkebab him.

 

 

 

Oh whell, atleast you got 300 gp from him.

Randoms are not all bad! Yes they can get annoying, but get over it! At the end of the day, it is for our benefit, not an attempt by JAGEX to screw with us. I am all for anything that stops RWT, and that includes the GE and trade limits.

 

 

 

It takes a minute to complete a random at most on all, and to the guy complianing about a ranarr drop? Serioulsy, is 5k is worth crying about?

I dislike them immensely...

 

 

 

 

 

If they were actually cleverly done then yes... they would be useful/enjoyable... e.g if you have a full outfit from a random then that random doesnt appear... this would make sense because eventually you yourself would lessen the randomers...

 

 

 

I've got around 14 purlpe/strange fruit in the last 2 days because of their appearance every single time i got to greater demons (????) i have no use for them at greaters... also the fact I am attacking monsters and talking to people around me suggests i'm not macroing...

 

 

 

I hate skilling now because of the amount of random events you get. Fishing can be fun because there are some great people to talk to at the fishing guild but to get a full inventory of fish is hectic with A. the fishing spot moving every 2 minutes anyway... then river trolls, then other random events... :evil:

the only random event that i like (this mite not be a random event tho) is the genie lamp one. who doesnt want free xp?!?!?!?
