lvl3_cutter Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 lots of examples i guess but one is just the Explorer's ring requires you to do the restless ghost quest, even for the first ring, i mean i'd b fine if it was just for the last ring...but they dont let u even get the first one if u dont want prayer.

RayOxide Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Err, is it really that important? Everyone knows jagex dont particularly like pures.. Everything revolves around monster killing fighting. Not skilling or pvp. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Shalaj Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Ridiculous. You see, Jagex never forces you to adopt the style you want to adopt. It is completely in your hands whether you want to be a skiller, pker, pure or just a balanced player. Each style comes with its advantages and disadvantages, and if you have picked that particular style, learn to live with the disadvantages. You can't get everything in the world. If you're a pure, you have that benefit of being of great use in PvP, no one forces you to keep low defence and as a result of this, you find all tasks that give Defence xp as "another method from Jagex that shows how much they hate pures". Skillers and questers don't like melee, but some quests give melee xp, so Jagex hates skillers too? :roll: Pkers don't like skilling, but certain quests that benfit pkers give skill xp too, so Jagex hates pkers? :roll: And balanced players strive to earn money, but they HAVE to spend money on some certain skills in return for less gain, so Jagex hates all players too? :roll: Thanks..

dragoonson Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Jagex hates tanks because there is no weapon that requires only defence.

Moad14 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There are way more normal accounts being played than pures, so Jagex tries to please as many people as they can. Pures choose anger and frustration instead of a normal account, so I can not feel sorry for you. I love to meet people; send me a pm if you see me on RuneScape! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compfreak847 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 When will people realize that the age of the pure is over? A range tank will decimate a pure in the mid level bh crater - he can hit 99 range and (at least close to) 99 defence. The pure's d scimmy is hardly going to hit, but those bolts can tear through even 97 defence (I speak from experience). Yes, at 133 combat, I have lost to 103 a maxed range tank. Yes, I was super setted with the best equipment and armor and vengeance. Yes, I lost twice in a row :-# There's just too much new equipment and armor to make a pure worthwhile. And if you choose not to train other skills, your not going to have full access to the game.. explorer's ring has a prayer bonus; naturally you have to train prayer for it.

Miner_Guy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I totally agree with, jagex are so unfair on pures. Although i think there is a way round Restless Ghost, i think if you have like 70 range, strength and mage then you can afford to get 1k without going up a combat level, although im totally sure :?

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So what else is new? No one told you to purposefully restrict your combat levels. Jagex's updates cater to the much, much, much larger group of players that level every skill up, so pures will always get left out of the loop. Again, no one said that you had to keep your defense or prayer low, you chose to do that. And now, you have to accept that not many updates will be made to benefit you.

Will H Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Jagex doesn't cater to pures (although that doesn't mean that they don't like them) because they are the result of the weak combat level system personified. They see them as something which should be fixed but nobody knows how to. In an ideal world, pures shouldn't have any advantage over a balanced player of the same level and combat style, but such a dynamic game (with new armour, weapons, and spells flying everywhere) would be impossible to balance perfectly and provide a universal numerical standard. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I'd agree that they don't like pures in that they make updates for balanced players. You're limiting yourself to a few skills. Of course there are going to be things you can't do! I'm pretty sure that one of the things you should be aware of if you refuse to train Prayer, Defence, etc., Is that you can't get the benefits of having trained them.

ShadowTwisted Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The whole point of Runescape is to offer variety. Just because people play different ways, doesn't mean that none of them are accepted. And there's no "forcing" involved. If you WANT the ring, then you do the quest, but it's not mandatory to have the ring in the first place. To be honest, it seems people get too wrapped up in their own concepts of pride to allow themselves to fully enjoy the game, otherwise. For me, it's easy to have fun, because I don't mind doing a little of everything. The way I see it, it's just Jagex's way of trying to entice people to experience different aspects of the game.

Roberthree Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 9 prayer gets you a 5% strength boost. strength is like catnip for pures right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depresins Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 ^^^ But one of the goals for a pure is to keep the combat level as low as possible. 9 Prayer levels is at least 1 combat level, and you next combat level will comes sooner.

Bloodkay Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Honestly, why do pures complain? They choose to play the game a certain way, outside of the norm, and suddenly when something like not being able to wear equipment or not being able to attain the maximum difference in trade, they explode. It's totally your own fault for not being able to wear the ring. Sorry if I'm harsh, but it's true. Taking a Playstation 3 break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i thought pures relied on the idea that by missing out on certain things, they'd have an advantage in others. if you find the benefits do not outweigh the losses of playing as a pure, do not play as one.

Sorry if it was said, but in Barbarian Assault, they don't give xp to you, because they are "pure friendly." If they don't want combat xp in part of a COMBAT minigame, then don't play.
