Tip.It Times Presents: Nowhere to Build but Up...

[Demoli]

Make armours which increase ur hp, problem solved.

 

 

 

very nice idea, i've though that a while ago and i think it will be a nice solution.

 

 

 

although i think they should be degradeable (the ones that heal more degrade like pvp weps, the ones that heal less repairable)any supporters?

(Obviously the point of a long post is not to simply have a long post, I was just joking about the fact that our posts make most posts look like they belong on an instant messaging service, both in thinking power behind them, and in length)

 

 

 

The implications of legendary levels are many and complex. I have no idea what they all are and how they would/could play out. This lack of knowledge about it makes me less than ready to get behind the idea. I am not sure there is anyone that could truly understand and know what would happen under every circumstance because we are dealing with unpredictable people. The current system, as flawed as it may be, is controlled by the fact that there is someone else out there that can replace you. Many people come to these games searching power, and by giving to them exactly what they want by forcing them to sell their souls to a computer game...I shudder to think of what would happen...

 

 

 

People would reach these "unreachable" limits and it record time, what was supposed to take 2 years took them 2 months, and in those same 2 months anything that mattered to them in the real world is gone. The consequences for a change so drastic to the game could be many in the game, but there could be consequences that literally change peoples lives, all because Runescape set an "unachievable" goal before them and they were so addicted to the game that they had to do it. Just because you have self control does not mean others do. That is why we have jails, police, security systems, laws, even the death penalty...

 

 

 

No, Runescape should never present its players with such a task, because in the end, it could literally kill someone.

And if you still think it is a good idea, I am sure you can find other extreme reasons why it is a bad one, but none I can think of are as serious as this one.

It's an interesting point, but are there not already people who do that for a hiscores top, to have maxed all levels, etc? The difference between a goal that gives them a unique skill to add to the community and a goal that just makes them one of the thousand people with any of those skills is minimal in dedication terms to the person, but greater to the community. Besides, is it not worse to have someone reach the point where there is nothing more to play/live for since they've maxed out now?

 

 

 

There will always be extermists like that, at the least the feeling of helping people out may teach them some valueable skills for when they get themselves a life back. It's a sad day when these sorts of thought mean a game isn't allowed to be good any more. There may be responsibilities of a game designer to not promote racism, sexism, violence etc and any displays of such have ratings; but it shouldn't be their responsibility to teach people how to live a healthy lifestyle. Jagex are not the parents of 14 million players teaching them how to live so they grow up to be good sons and daughters.

 

 

 

The point about someone quitting and taking away that skill I hadn't thought of. We did spend nearly a year discussing most of the other points though in very deep detail :P. Maybe we cannot entirely predict things, but there are plenty of social and economic models which apply and a huge number that don't apply (which is where it's important to work out why and not use them). The Runescape economy has a lot of differences to real life economics, but it does have enough mass to have very real trends, cyclic nature, social links to it, and in spite of the ge, there are still a few intangible values left making their impact. It can be modelled
