Lensare Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's true that most players got replaced by bots but bots give Jagex exactly the same amount of money we do. I really hate digressing, but I will for the following...Gold-Sites and the like have bots to support players - they sell the accounts, gold and items that the bots produce. With the decline of players and the surge of the bots, there is a decline in the customers of gold sites. So while at the moment there are plenty of bots, that doesn't mean they will stay indefinately. As soon as business is no longer profitable, they too will decline.What would be left after that is a small community - back to the beginnings! Only with a game that is nothing quite like it used to be - both in good as in bad terms. In a way though, the simplicity of the current game allows more competition... I suppose that before long, new faces will replace the fallen stars of today's top 15. Wouldn't really harm anyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli_93 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 When that happens we could expect another removal of the wilderness and free trade from Jagex in a last attempt to save the only game of theirs that anyone even plays lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codecRS Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 hopefully jagex will realise how quickly the game is dying and fix it all, then all the decent players will come back. it would be SO weird logging in and it being 100% legit players. wishfull thinking. http://www.youtube.com/codecrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 As long as there's a scriptable money making method, there'll be bots. However quick they ban them. Goals for 2012:Quest CapeMAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The players might be losing respect for jagex but they certainly aren't gonna go bankrupt, in face they're probably making more money than ever now that they have several diferent games and more in the works, and a lot more players online at a time than they ever have since 07 wildy removal, even if a lot of those players are bots somebodys still paying the membership fees. So yeah the game might have gone downhill but it doesn't its gonna shut down. Personally I play war of legends atm and it has microtransactions (i play it f2p), theres so many people on there spending ridiculous amounts and it has barely any support from jagex it probably has less than 5 staff members dedicated to it lol, that's just one example of a way jagex is making big profits, in fact they're probably one of the richest MMO companies in existence.@makaveli, jagex can't remove wildy/ft again. They made a decision and now they have to stick to it, if they did that the game really would die, there'd be a mass quitting like in 07 and all the bots would go (good thing for us but bad thing for jagex's wallets). Anyway I have no idea what all this has to do with 200m all skills but since everyone else is talking about it I'm just putting in my 2 cents edit: jagex has been all about the money for years now, they just hide it less these days. They are a business after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 yea they'll be bots but not big rwt companies, anyway i think most of the top 15 quit for personal reasons and while quitting may be sped up or justified by jagex ruining the game alot of people plan on quitting or stopping months before and most people that spend alot of time online are just waiting for something to do in real life and once that happens do fine.

NoHopeLeft Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Runescape seems like it was designed to be played by a computer. Repetitive actions that never change for dozens of hours to achieve anything. A money pouch would be cool. So would a remote price checker. But honestly I'm thinking an insta-Jcoins-market.

Superheat Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 On this matter, I will have to agree with Skittles. Since Andrew took a step down things are going downhill. That's not strange at all, because we all know that money makes the world go round. The Gower brothers had a connection with the game, they created it, it was there idea, they were in touch with the community. It's pretty obvious MMG is missing this connection to the game, which makes me think getting the Gower's back in charge would be a good idea. Ofcourse many more has to happen, but then I'd at least have the idea that Jamflex would be listening to their community, which is after all what made the game such a success in the first place. Also, Jamflex should speak with people who play the game more. Of course, do test somethings to yet they have a completely different gaming experience than the regular players. On a side note, I do not believe Jamflex will go bankrupt anytime soon. Also, I would be really, really interested in Jamflex explaining us why they brought back Free Trade + Wildi. Also, I'd like to see the systems that would bots at the time. After all, they claimed to have everything under control. Big fat liars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codecRS Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 it didnt really make them more money. maybe it did for a while, but the players quitting because of bots and stuff kinda cancels it all out. http://www.youtube.com/codecrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTanT Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 What I'm really curious of is this:If aplyer were to join today, and used all of the best methods and put in a grueling schedule, approximately how long would it take them to reach where the current high ranekrs are now? About two years? Three? Five? The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate.

Zojefski Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Congrats to SUOMI, you have now been slaying for half a year straight =). As a present I will show u how much xp u have gained I only took into account the skills that you actually trained, via effigies or throught slayer.

So i subtracted everything u gained during that time. Also, when adding up all three of your melee combat xp gains you get 179,904,126. Divided by 3 that is 59,968,042 hp xp you gained through melee. However your total hp xp gained was 86.6m. Is it posible that the steel titan gave you 26.6m hp xp ? Anyway, amazing xp gains for half a year, and keep it up your almost done.

And i can tell because the xp u gained divides evenly into the amount of xp given by a dragonstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomi_Finland Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah I was cutting dragonstones. I think rest of the Hitpoints Xp is from cannon and steel titan.

Agen Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Since you're (Suomi) making overloads for bonus xp, isn't it possible that you'll have way too many left over after 200m slayer and 200m rc at crawlers? I thought since cash was an issue you might consider doing sara brews even though it's less efficient. And when are you doing your next bankstanding skill? Would be cool just to be able to drop by and say hello, giving moral support and monetary support, etc. Goals for 2012:Quest CapeMAX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
