JGHCeltic Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Runescape is far from dead, sure the removal of wilderness pking was a massive blow and many thought that it was the apocalypse of Runescape, but the community has bounced back and seems to be as satisfied as, if not more so then, before. I'll have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of the PVP updates, Bounty Hunter results in getting piled by clans and really is a waste of time, comparing it to the wilderness, due to penalties and waiting to go back in limits :thumbdown:. Also, PVP worlds are full of people who 1 item and have pitiful random rewards :thumbdown:. Despite this, most people have taken to these updates and enjoy them greatly so I guess it is down to preferences. So, jAGeX in the end aren't afraid to gamble their game away in the chance to improve it ten-fold. =D> "Celtic jerseys are not for second best, they dont shrink to fit inferior players." - Jock Stein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice rant: RS has never died. Rude Rant: The title made me laugh. RS never died, and its people that complain that make me pissed. Why are you pissed over something as stupid as this Ratchet? Answer: because this shows the general stupidity of people. Instead of just living with the problem, you have to add on to the problem. Runescape is still alive and kicking, and one complainer is not going to change the minds of Jagex. If Runescape has died, than leave. Thats the plain and simple answer. Without the wild many things were removed that made players who enjoy other things happy. The autoers were gone. I could actually cut a tree without a bald man with a dragon ax and who is only level three knocking it down in one swing. Jagex probably assumed that if they lost any players, they wanted it to be the sheer minimum, and they did not know how. So losing the PKers was the only way. The game was not specifically made for PKing, so they figured that if anything, that population would die out, and more people would come in their place. Jagex lost more than they probably thought, and so they resorted to minigames to replace it. Yes, they were not great, but they were not bad either. They did not completely turn all of the PKers back to the game, but they did bring in some. Also, I found it nice to do a clue scroll without some jerk coming and killing me. Or at the wilderness agility course without someone killing me simply for the XP and because they wanted to be a complete douche. Plus, it got rid of other people who were constantly causing problems ingame. While many remain, I found the PK crowd to be really rowdy (not all but some). Most would PM you with "Noob Pwned" and would probably rub it in your face, or challenge you again. Which brings me to my next point. While thousands and thousands of people quit, Jagex held firm. While thousands of paying members quit, Jagex continued to bring out updates, and appease the people who still played. They took none of the stupid forum posts and strikes with a grain of salt. They didn't need people to rebel against the creators of the game they were playing. Jagex is probably one of the nicest gaming companies out there. Instead of "14 days of trial gameplay" like WoW, you get a whole section of the map, a whole bunch of quests, and endless time to play them. While the F2Pers complained, I said that, as the name implied, they were paying for nothing but the electricity. How can you complain when the people give you a free game to play? So while you sit secluded, crying and coming on the forum to troll about how runescape died a year ago...remember, your posting on a forum that is an add on to a fan site for Runescape. This forum would die if Runescape was dead, and it hasn't. I think Runescape is becoming better than ever, and thats because Jagex is slowly killing off the whiney babies who ruin the experience of people devoted to the game. So basically, if your mother died, and it was a year later, would you yell at god and complain because she's dead? NO! So go off to your elementary, learn to deal with lifes problems, and move on. And if anyone tells me I am a Jagex fanboy...I will say right quick...your fighting against Jagex over there game. That makes you a rebelling fanboy...

TheDayRsDied Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 When I first posted this topic, I already expected the reaction to be overwelimgly negative, but the fact that several posters agree with me shows that I am not alone in opposing Jag's unfortunate decision. I was intending to just let this thing die because it got very ugly for a while, but it seems to have calmed down a little too much fo comfort, so ill mess it all up again. :twss: I cannot deny that RWT was a factor in these decisions anymore, there is just too much proof. I actually kind of admired people who had the brains to put those automated programs together for a long time, but those days are now over. But something GE-Pushers cannot deny is that with the inclusion of pictures for words, Quick Chat, and "Make-All" features(the direct reason that many skills are no longer profitable), there is a new audience that is the new aim here. And, in addition to the features previously mentioned, I believe that the GE was a part of this dirty little plan.

Harakiri Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 RWT was a huge part of the reason for the loss of the wild... I've always thought the GE was put into the game to regulate the prices of items, and to be a much more convenient way to sell and buy things. It used to be a hassle to buy things without going to world 1 and waiting for five hours for someone to actually be nice enough to trade you, and while World 1 still works the same way, the GE is just an easier way for players who need something fast to get it. It was not part of jagex's dastardly scheme to stop the Pkers from playing (and if it was, god the plan was brutal). And why'd you have to put more input in when people have been flaming your rants? You got balls, but really, when your getting flamed its not a good idea to feed us more flame bait. There might be one or two people who agree...but they've probably all been flamed...I just wish you would all get over it. Over a year has passed, and you still complain like babies. I've gotten sick of hearing it...those months after the update were hell on this rant forum, Eatrunearrow reared his ugly face and made him easily the most laughable person on the forum, and more people continued to give their "Jagex hate" rants. Why, after one year, do you complain more? Give up. You lost. PKing is not dead, its just not like it used to be. Basically, sit down, think through what you complain about, and ask yourself if its really worth getting worked up over. If you care so much about a game, you need to go outside. Any thread involving this should be locked up, because after one year, there are more important problems with the game than the loss of the wild, which has become a regular part of the game now...

Alg Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 People actually have every right to rant about this. I'd just wish a rant on it considers the motive, the evidence, and is more thought out than the "omg jiblegz you suck giv bak pking or ill s00 u and u cry!@432`1" that you see more often than the actual intelligent ones. The GE would be the perfect runescape update if it didn't come with price controls, I think. An area where you can instantly buy and sell would be nothing but an improvement over switching servers and going to the other trader.

fenrir321 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 People actually have every right to rant about this. Doesn't mean we have to accept them :twss: But on a more serious note, to OP: As I see it, there are three reasons why ranters rants about the wild changes: 1. There was a better option. ~"Better" as I have said on many occasions is a debatable word. Jagex are the elder gods of runescape, more powerful than Guthix. They are not "good" gods. They do what is best for the game as a whole. Even if RWT was not a problem, Jagex most likely would have (more gradually) phased out old style pking and replaced it with the newer system or another entirely different one just as they planned.~ 2. Because I want it. Because a lot of people want it. We pay, so we say. ~The citizens of the united stats pay the government (I'm guessing) over a billion dollars a year in taxes. We do have some say in the government, but if EVERYONE had their say, we'd be n complete chaos as everyone would want a million dollars or not to work. There needs to be some sort of "adult" in a system to regulate the behavior and patterns of everyone i.e. moderators 3. I miss it, and I just want to complain about it. ~If everyone did that, we'd get nothing done in this world. Life is change. Change is life. If all of the world's leaders were to die right now (hypothetical situation), life would still go on. There is no "last" event because after the event, life is still going on. This argument is very self-centered as it is saying, "I am important enough that time should just freeze for me." Correct me if I have missed any arguments. The ONLY argument that is valid is the first because it deals with imbalance in the game. Despite Jagex's thoughts about pest control, they really screwed up in the experience rates. As players, we are supposed to report balance/imbalance in the game. The only reason why the first argument is wrong is because Jagex knows more than any of us. They are our guide through the game's life. Since we know nothing when compared to the creators, why should we follow our instinct? Of course, that's not to say that Jagex has no superior in the game. Unless you can mathematically or logically (through syllogisms and concrete postulates) prove Jagex to be wrong, we have to accept that Jagex is correct in their actions.

Getting rid of credit card payments would result in a drastic loss of membership fees. So they went the smart route and implemented tons of great changes that IMPROVED the game. Jagex is a buisness.

I realize that, but his point was that a level 115 should never be able to kill a level 20, 50, or 90. A level 20 or 50 would have nothing to fear from a level 115 in the wilderness, and any level 90 careless enough to get lured into 25+ wilderness deserves what's coming to them. Besides, you should be fully aware of the dangers of the wilderness before entering it. Ignorance of the rules is no excuse for not heeding them.

Everyone whined that so many people quit when the old wildy went away...how many thousands more had quit over the years because they were lured into the wildy and lost all their items? AND there were elements of the game that you could only access in the wilderness. Green dragons, clue scrolls, agility course, etc...so comparing Clan Wars and other mini games is ridiculous. In the end it doesn't matter. The old Wilderness is long gone and good riddance. A lot more people are glad it is than miss it. Period. BTW...Altruism??? :roll: Who are you anyway Dennis Miller?

Orly_Owl Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It is pathetic. Just because its there doesnt make it less pathetic. 6-12 people in a clan to take 1 person down is pathetic. 2 people can do it, 2 is even overkill. And lol its not bullying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerlord Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Simple anti-macroing software could have handled this issue. They could have altered the drops so that macros would have no way of getting to them.Think of Rick Turpentine. All you have to do is CLICK on him and random event= over. They could have had increased player moderation of the wildy. They could have made an unlimited trade conditional based on a quest or something that would take the amount of time only a legit player would be willing to waste. Without macros, there is no RWT. Macros were the problem, not Pkers. How the hell would it be profitable for any business to spend hours every day PKing to get the gold? Macros were the problem. PKing was just one of the methods the Macros used to transfer the gold. I got tricked into going to one of those sites one time and 1 m goes for about 8 bucks. That would take days to make any significant profit in the old wildy, because most people just took rune or d hide into the wildy. This wildy change was not aimed at stopping RWT. It was a marketing decison to throw their old faithful under the bus and addict 5 year olds to an online game in an unhealthy way. Reading your post, it would appear as though said, "old faithful," WAS 5 year olds -.- I think the stupidest statement in this entire quote above is, "Without macros, there is no RWT. Macros were the problem, not Pkers." Come on Kid! are you framiliar with the term, "gold farmer?" It's (warning - sentance contains stereotype) in some cases a Chinese sweatshop laborer who sits on RS all day and mines gold. Then those products are sold on the internet. That's called, RWT...WITHOUT A BOT!!! NO WAY!!! correct me if I'm incorect, but did you not post, "Without macros, there is no RWT. Macros were the problem, not Pkers?" This just shows the ignorance of your petty arguement. Idea: shut down Secondly, the next stupidest thing you've said was, "They could have had increased player moderation of the wildy." If people were klling eachother, would a player moniter not get slaughtered by RWT'ers and random pk'ers? in addition to that, there are about 160 Runescape worlds at the moment, and in case you are goeographicaly challenged, the wilderness is abo[bleep]ely huge. It would require hundreds, and more than likely above a thousand mods to oversee the entire wilderness at once. There would be less available login spaces on every server, which is just supid. who needs like 20 (or if we listened to you most certainly more than that) less spaces on worlds one and two? They're already filled to-the-brim as is! so that wouldn't work. But let's theoreticaly that this idea could work. What would player moderaters be watching for exactly? people killing eachother, becuase that was how wealth was transfered! Wait, I'm recieving confirmation that that is ACTUALLY THE POINT OF THE WILDY! It would be near imposible to distinguish an RWT'er "fighting" a gold buyer from an actually wilderness fight. Idea: shut down Next order of buissness, " This wildy change was not aimed at stopping RWT. It was a marketing decison to throw their old faithful under the bus and addict 5 year olds to an online game in an unhealthy way. " This is obviously...something that you might hear out of a developementaly challenged five to seven year old child. Let us step back thousands of years to ancient Egypt now. A pharoh, (Ramses?) Enslaves the Isrealites. Why? Becuase they worship a different G-d. Said Pharoh wants to make clear that if you don't owrship the Egyptian dieties, bad [cabbage] happens. Now let's compare this to Jagex: They removed the standard wilderness because they wanted to get rid of RWT, which they had effectively done. To say that this is all some sort of conspiracy is the equivalent of saying that the Pharoh, (Ramses?) just enslaved the Isrealites because he's a jerk. Also, take into consideration this fact...Jagex attempted to compensate for what the PK'ers had lost! The gave you Bounty Hunter, which was messed up by people standing in the middle and piling anybody using the Bounty Locate spell, Clans Wars, which was more or less intended for all, but still nice, and most recently, PvP WORLDS! If entire worlds devoted to Pj'ing, Pk'ing, and killing your fellow runescaper is not enough for you, then I recomend you get off of this forum and go play a better game if you think Runescape is so crumby. Idea: shut down Shall we move on the bellow quote segment? \ I think there is a misconception about my post. Im not complaining that I was killed. Im complaining that that risk, that part of the game was removed. I bet you loved this update. Now you can just walk in back anf forth from the bank for 23 hours straigght uninturrupted. Fun, huh. No thanx OK, this is possibly THE stupidest thing my eyes have EVER seen, and I'm reading Tom Sawyer at the moment! Not enough risk in runescape? Look in the right places! Consider... Corporeal Beast - Level 782 - 2,000 Hits. TzTok-Jad - Level 702 - 250 hits - At very end of fight caves, a very long and arguous fight - Has been reported to hit over 100 on players who have potted their Hitpoints above maximum - He will attack with all three types of attacks. K'ril Tsutsaroth, General Graardor, Commander Zilyana & Kree arra - Levels (from left to right) 650, 624, 596, 580 - Each is in a chamber with 3 other boss monsters of a lower, but still rather impressive level. Mithril Dragon - Level 304 - 254 Hits - these monsters are known to rip through players with 99 defence and Barrows armour - Mithril dragons are immune to poison (unless poisoned by a "Smoke" ancient magick spell). Need I say more? Want A risk? Go kill some of these Kiddo. Conclusion/Summary: You obviously have no idea what you are talking about and you are griping like a child bettween the ages of three and seven. Seems a bit hypocritical, when you read stamements you wrote, saying, "It was a marketing decison to throw their old faithful under the bus and addict 5 year olds to an online game in an unhealthy way." I can see they got you sonny. Final Statement: Idea: shut down "Don't push me; what's the hurry?" - Imogen Heap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terraaer Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Do you have ANY idea what you're talking about? Tell me why they made those changes. Tell me what would have happened if they didn't make the changes. Here's a hint, Runescape would LITERALLY DIE. + (fudgeing) 1 <--- click for teh free cookies! nom nom nom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
