We can't play 'for fun'?

[Metu]

In the latest RuneScape poll, the following question is asked the players:

 

 

 

What are your main reasons for playing RuneScape?

 

 

 

Did anyone else notice the option 'for fun' wasn't there?

[Bauke]

I think the question implies that the activities you choose, are the ones you have fun in doing.

[Pinkbullet3]

"RuneScape" and "fun" do not coincide.

[Bauke]

"RuneScape" and "fun" do not coincide.

 

So you play because you're a masochist?

[Omali]

"For Fun" isn't an answer that can't be specified by picking one or more of the choices displayed.

[Smackapotato]

It's probably because "for fun" wont help jagex get any ideas about what you like in RS.

 

They mostly do polls to find out what you want/think. Saying you play RS for fun doesn't give them much to expand on.

[Sy_Accursed]

Player-Submitted Polls...what makes you think Jagex wrote the questions?

[Mdeoxys]

but jagex does decides what questions to put up ;)

But it still doesnt mean they wrote them or had any direct input on the question or answers

[Jwviper]

I guess "fun" is achieving goals and working hard for many people.

No but I think they only put up those questions that give them some info on how to improve the game.

 

ot: yes I play RS for fun :P

Definition of Masochist.

 

the condition in which sexual gratification depends on suffering, physical pain, and humiliation.

 

You get sexual gratification from RuneScape you sick [bleep]?

1. That's not the full definition of a masochist:

 

2.gratification gained from pain, deprivation, degradation, etc., inflicted or imposed on oneself, either as a result of one's own actions or the actions of others, esp. the tendency to seek this form of gratification.

 

3.the act of turning one's destructive tendencies inward or upon oneself.

 

4.the tendency to find pleasure in self-denial, submissiveness, etc.

 

Selectively quoting :wall:

 

 

 

2. I wasn't talking about myself, but I was asking a question to someone that posted a rather bold statement.

 

 

 

In short: learn to read.

Yeah thats why old player submitted polls feature questyions like

 

 

 

"If you were to take over Runescape with an army of evil food items, which of the following would you choose to build your army out of?"

 

 

 

Clearly questions tht help jagex learn how to improve the game

[Dalcyte]

The absence of fun isn't pain, it's monotony

 

 

 

But yeah i think that they imply that all of the options they give are fun

[acowswrath]

Shouldnt the question then be: What activities do you do while playing? or they should add another question: Is runescape fun?

Teach me to read. NOW!

[Smapla]

it is assumed that if you are playing this game, you're playing it because you find it to be fun. one exception is gold farmers, though i doubt they'd be taking part in this poll.

[Kimberly]

Playing for fun is kind of self explanatory though isn't it? If you weren't having fun, would you really be playing? :3

Not really, many people play because they are addicted?

[Racheya]

NO! How DARE you suggest we should have fun playing a game!?! :x

And why are they addicted? Because they find fun in it. I think we can assume that playing a game is synonymous, at least in part, with having fun.

Well I'm getting really bored and I want to quit but.. sadly, I don't know what else I would do in my spare time. Maybe I should get a life. :wall:

It can be really difficult to find something else to do to fill the void once you have played for a long time and forgot what you used to do with your spare time. I suggest just playing for fun on RS and when the oppurtunity arrives to do something different, anything, take it.

Yeah, but I am noticing that I am playing less and less, a little bit if not each day, but each week. I just hope that someday I will get on RS occasionally but not like everyday for hours.
