Sir_Squab Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Died just this morning, wasn't paying attention to my health in Agility Arena and died doing those stupid darts. Got back with plenty of time to spare, as the stone angel of death stood guard over my precious armadyl helm. I remember back when I was a noob, dying all the time and going into a panic over losing a rune scimmy, plate, or 15k in gold. Back when dying was very possible, very easy, and a good motivator to go prepared. Kids these days with their gravestones and their free home teleports. I think 9 out of every 10 times I died was in the wildy on treasure trails LMAO! Grouchy old man. Sorry, but you DO sound like one. I remember an article I read somewhere....talking about RS, and how life is getting easier in it....It makes a parable involving an old man who grew up without toilets, and young kids who grew up with them. The moral was that, just because you didn't grow up with them and you walked 25miles through 20 feet of snow, uphill both ways. just to get to that outhouse...o.O That doesn't mean the next generation should have to do that same walk instead of using a toilet. Besides, I LIKE being able to get my stuff back :P And, the bless thing was made to replace teammates who couldn't pick up your stuff. Quest boss monsters and such are areas where it would be impossible for someone to pick up your stuff, thus no gravestones. Something I dislike, simply because most people doing these quests don't know that. Either put gravestones or give a warning. And I mean, unless you played back when gravestones came out, you would have no way of knowing this. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

Ned Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 lol i ALWAYS forget gravestones and log of in a fit of rage whenever i die. i lost 3 pairs of d boots :( :o That's not so smart ;) I personally think the 500k investment is totally worth it and not much of a financial impact if you are a serious monster hunter/PvPer.

cardsfanbj Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Prior to the release of gravestones, I would avoid death at almost any cost. Now, I use death as a free teleport to get over to Camelot... \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russelbrandfan13 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 tbh the only monsters i fight are quest bosses so there usually in places where you dont get gravestones so death is still just as serious for me -.- despite all our differences in the human race, people are reeaally different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
