Triquos Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ok so I was mining granite today, as I only have 10 days of membership left, and didn't want to be disturbed while trying to get as much exp as I possibly could, before my membership is cancelled for good. Some guy comes up and says "nice slayer cape" I reply "ty", he then says "have you got any more 99 capes" I reply "yes" he continues by saying "how many and what ones" :wall: this is all well and good but I was trying to concentrate on mining, not play 21 questions, so I just say "check hiscores". A minute later he replies "so what's your summoning level?" #-o At that moment I just hopped worlds. Has this happened to you? Where you just want to train a particular skill and not get asked 21 questions? Discuss \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Well, I admit I'm guilty of that. :oops: Normally I do it when they're not busy. For example when they're Fletching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acenator Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 This will happen to anyone with a relatively high level. I generally don't do anything that requires much attention and I generally don't care too much about powerleveling, though, so I don't mind it all that much. I also tend to train in either really crowded areas where it's easy to ignore people like that or in high level quest areas where you generally don't see them. You could say that I unintentionally avoid those kinds of people. :XD: However, as said before, I also don't mind them all that much because I generally do things that allow me to type and train simultaneously (I was crafting while I wrote this). :P > SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;0 rows returnedThere's no place like 127.0.0.1There are only 10 types of peoplein this world: those who understandbinary and those who don't.This statement is false.$DO || ! $DO ; trytry: command not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodArgon Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeah, its happened to me before. I usually have my attack cape on. "hey, whats your other 99" -Crafting "How much did it cost?" "What method did you use?" "Did you make money?" "Why did you do it" "emot3 pl0x" Its so annoying. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I really hate it when people ask " _______ levels?". I mean really, do they actually care? I sure as hell hope they don't. And it's really annoying for me to answer those questions because I honestly don't know what most of my skill levels are, so I have to look. It's a major reason why I am starting to avoid people more and more. I hate mindless small talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexek Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeah, it happens often, but often when I play Runescape I don't really even train anything and just talk in clan chat. Provided I am paying attention to someone asking me the questions in public I will often answer. I do agree, though, it can be a nuisance if you are attempting to train a stat or are doing something that requires your attention. This is a method a lot of pkers do to catch their opponent off-guard whilst they type because believe it or not, not everyone can type without looking at the keys.. or their hands will just be on the keys and they won't be fast enough to eat. Some pkers like to spam and call people names, but the more mature ones ask questions during the fight and the smart opponents often don't reply. By the way, nice siggy, Jrd. \ PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Smither Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I always get asked questions while alching which can get annoying. I usually answer them if I see thembut sometimes the questions are redundant like "do you have another 99" when your wearing a skill cape(t). But idk some people are just illinformed I guess.

Ollyc3 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I can't see whats so hard about typing 'Sorry I'm busy' or whatever levels you've got.. You could even tell them to use the hiscores, then maybe they'll stop asking people the same questions in the future. 2376/2376 total achieved - May 2009 Retired Dec 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even tell them to use the hiscores, then maybe they'll stop asking people the same questions in the future. I did say to him "check the hiscores", but he completely ignored me :wall: I don't know why the topic was moved to questionnaires too, maybe it was because of the title, but even so, what classifies a question as to a discussion? Discussions are just more like a debate, padded out a little in detail :? ANYWAYS i'm glad i'm not the only one that has this problem sometimes, I can always go to the quick chat world but sometimes you just want a full world where the mining rocks are fast, and it's hard to ignore someone when they give you a compliment =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beethovens29 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 notice how its usually the members being asked or high level f2p and the nooby ppl asking... frankly, i have been a victim and a suspect of both. ive asked similar questions to those noob membs with skill capes ( :lol: ) and i hav been asked about a bunch of questions about my rc lvl cuz of my rc robes..... who knew rc robes could cause a bunch of noobs to ask questions? and this was all while i was busy fishing -what ur rc lvl? -where u get ze robes? -what lvl need to get in ze guild -how many of ze tokens? and on and on and on.....

aeternitatis Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 This is a method a lot of pkers do to catch their opponent off-guard whilst they type because believe it or not, not everyone can type without looking at the keys.. or their hands will just be on the keys and they won't be fast enough to eat. Some pkers like to spam and call people names, but the more mature ones ask questions during the fight and the smart opponents often don't reply. Its worked both ways for me but when I would do it without noticing. I'd ask him something like "Was that your max?" or something along the lines of that and I'd end up ko'ing him and right before he died he would say something like "No it's 39.". A couple of times I've died because someone used this on me. Quite annoying. On topic: My rsn is Zerker Inc, but I'm not a pure anymore so I always get people asking me why/when I stopped being pure or crap like that. It's annoying.
