It's not safe anymore! Everywhere you go to find an evil tree, there's an evil tree clan already there! They kill it in minutes, you can barely get any rewards of experience! It's like trying to split one cake with 1000 hungry lumberjacks! I've been to a tree once with only like four other people. It lasted much longer, and I got many times more experience and rewards.

 

 

 

Just think of how great it would be if you had only a few people with you while chopping those acursed trees, everyone getting much more out of it. Evil tree clans just sit at the Grand Exchange spirit tree, until someone else nurtures the tree, then they teleport to it.

 

 

 

Just yesterday, I found an evil tree, took the hint, and found it west of Falador. I saw about a dozen other people there, so I thought, "Fine, that's not too much." Once the tree grew to full size, I heard dozens upon dozens of people teleporting in. The tree died in minutes, and I barely got any reward.

 

 

 

They're a plague upon evil trees! One of them finds a tree on one world, and hundreds more infect the land, devouring the tree in seconds!

What do you want Jagex to do? Kill half the people who go to 'your' tree? They can't have too many trees or the rewards become unbalanced, it's a balancing factor...

Meh, it's a self balancing minigame. The apparently low rewards hasn't stopped the evil tree clans from doing it though.

Solution:

 

 

 

1.Join one of these evil tree clans.

 

2. ?????

 

3. PROFIT!

If you could hold onto your reward until you get 100% like star hunting would be a pretty good solution, with stoping xp once you get 100% reward. To be honest, I'm amazed at the number of people swarming these trees considering you can only interact with a maximum of 2 trees per day. The 30 minutes banking magic is pretty awesome also, I can understand why wcers would want to make full use of this feature.

Just like Star hunting! Except to a greater degree. Here's what I do when I find the stars too crowded:

 

 

 

1) PvP World

 

2) Go to a harder location. (Idk about trees, but some of the more dangerous and remote areas are always less crowded)

 

3) Go to the Clan's chat and find which worlds they will go to, and purposely go to different worlds

 

4) Say "screw this" and mine another star at a less active time of day.

The thing with a harder location comparison is that you can't predict the area the tree will appear like a star would (i.e. wilderness).

 

Clan chat evading could be a good thing, but it means hopping a whole lot while managing several CCs.... not an easy task.

 

trying to hunt during low hours is actually a very good idea...if you can log during those hours (some kids can't do that).

Theres a limit to how many you can do a day, what do you want, limit it more?

Still PvP worlds, which aren't as dangerous as you may think.

Jagex can always limit the amount of people per tree...Sort of like a first come, first serve, ___ amount of people allowed per tree.

 

 

 

 

 

But then the forums will be swarmed with people going "0mgggz0r i spent 10 minutes going 2 a tree and I cn't do it!!!"

Dude, this is, like, the fourth rant you've dragged from the dead. If it's been ignored for two months, then no one cares anymore. The OP certainly isn't monitoring it - otherwise he'd probably have bumped it. Quit being a necrophiliac.

I'm bored, the thread's fun. shoot me.

yeah, sure, why not 'x.x.

 

honestly, this is a good thread. not like the rant forum is oh-so-active anyway.

easy way to fix the problem would be to just get rid of the spirit tree tele to evil tree. i'm tired of growing an elder then having 20 people come rushing in and leaving me with hardly any experiance. Lots of people would stop going after trees if they had to actually search for one instead of hang around G.E. all day.
