Racheya Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think I'm sort of feeling that way at the moment myself. I usually change what I do almost every day but I think after a few months back I'm bored again. I'm considering taking a break at the end of this months P2P payment, or maybe just try a stint at F2P so there's less pressure to play more (I'm poor :P) I quite enjoy Runecrafting but usually in small stints. I did grind earths with gloves for days to get to lvl 50 though but I haven't bothered since, I'm crafting more for fun and profit now :D I enjoy assisting at the law altar since quite a lot of the crafters are okay to have a conversation with since n00bs rarely reach that runecrafting level. One advantage to the skill anyway :D Anywho back on topic. I am sort of feeling sick of it but that's the way I work with things. I'll come back around in a few months time.

Libertherme Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I used to have that feeling on my old account; it probably stemmed from doing the same old task day in and day out - repetition. Since getting my new account, I've found Slayer to be a very enjoyable thing to do because it gives me a varied challenged. If you're feeling like RS is becoming a job, then you may need to take a break and enjoy something else for awhile. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60DefenceMelee Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think ?5? is enough threads for one day... Anyway, if you're just boored of grinding, take a break and play a mini game or something; if you're boored with rs, leave it for a while. Moocky for once I agree with you. This guy has posted 5 threads, none of which have any real discussion value, and they're all pretty much complaining or whining. I move to ban him from creating threads. Do I hear a second? Hey, if you don't like my threads, then gtfo. I am sick of on my threads complaining about me. nect time I see you post on my threads I will report you to a mod.

Vezon Dash Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I feel like that all of the time, but when i get that adrenalie rush from doing a quest or risking 10m in pvp i wouldent give the world for runescape. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ankie1992 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I know that feeling all too well. I had that feeling on my old account so I quit that account ans started playing this account because I found it fun to train a new account. But that quickly wore off when I was at about 95 Strength, I was contemplating quitting but I just couldn't bring myself to stop. Earlier this week I was keylogged and lost all of my gold. That was a good enough excuse to quit :thumbsup: Check my blog, I'm retired now anyway. 61,128th to 99 Strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

being_true Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 well what i did when i felt like that was i made a new acc that was going to be a range tanker with some melee stats but nothing real high mostly for def training. before i knew it i had gotten full void and was so happy that i did something i had not done on my main and now im almost higher crafting and range on it. its kinda fun to surpass ypur main in lvls. (i picked range tank since i had never done gwd or avansies on main and i think they own in pvp) idk if this would work for you but after around a month i went back to playing main and now i switch back and forth alot to help mix it up 98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

SwreeTak Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 If you feel that when you play you should either take a break or vary your gameplay more. Since you can't "off RS" I suggest that you try to do something else in the game for a while. Do some quests and just do what you find fun for a while. Don't do work. If you still find the game boring after this you should most probably quit the game, since you don't like it. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 If you can't get yourself to take a break you hvae 2 options to help you: (a) You just use some more will power. After a week of no RuneScape it should be alot easier. (B) Wait until you REALLY get bored, and just let teh quuitting take its course. Over my RuneScape carreer I have quit a few times, each time I think hmmm maybe I'll just see how RuneScape is doing and bam, i'm playing hardcore for the next week until some ammount of boredom sets in and I moderate my time. This time I found an alternative to breaks. Penguin hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fey_Warrior Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 No I don't, the minute i stop enjoying runescape, I will stop playing or find something else to do on it. Ditto. I wouldn't play RuneScape if it became merely another chore. This is why I'm doubtful I'll get any 99s any time soon. I've enough chores and obligations in 'real-life' that already consume large parts of my day. Although if a goal or achievement feels rewarding it might be worth a little dedication, but it's still only a game, and shouldn't become a job or like passing an exam or getting a qualification or degree. And if I just happen to get a 99 that I've found is fun along the way to getting it...then great. As a player commented in the game today at the GE: "Capes just aren't special any more" I don't think it's because more players have them that they're not so special any more to some out there. I suspect it's when some pare-down process of getting capes through mind numbing grinding; rather than seeing them as an end point as they were intended to be; that's made playing the game for those players, simply another chore. I prefer to let myself get distracted and have fun where I find it... and any level, feature or skill I gain along the way there is a bonus; and it actually feels more fun that way. There's been other MMOs I've played where one has to level-grind continuously to be able to play with friends/family and they've simply ceased to be fun. It's that grind that steals the joy and causes more stress...more if than if I weren't to bother at all; so I've stopped playing them as a result. I've come back to RuneScape time and again, because I feel I can truly play it how I like and when I can, without feeling pressured to do this or that thing first.
