Dire_Wolf Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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.

Nel Tu Oderschvank Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Tam_Tan_Tien Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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...

Ravenkana Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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. If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare?

compfreak847 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Annoying during combat, yes, but I find them a nice break from training.

sambudwiser Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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.

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.

meb Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Hobgoblinpie Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 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. POH Agility Course, Please Support!

obfuscator Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 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.

Friendyboy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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?

undeadshadow Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
