200M in all Skills

Suomi, do you need people do buy dstones for you? I'd be more than happy to.

 

Yeah sure, get as many as you can and I buy them same price. Thanks :)

He means virtual level 100 hunter, for anyone else who didn't understand when they first read it ;)

RSBuddy closing down :D :D Jagex won...

 

 

Good job Jagex :thumbup:

 

Now if they adress the reasons people chose to bot in the first place maybe runescape will last another 10 years.

 

This is exactly the suggestion I don't like. People will target the grind and Jagex will do all they can to minimize it. This may include substantially increasing Xp rates. I WANT grind; that's what RS is about.

I'm hopeful that when "targeting grind" Jagex won't just fall back on the easy option of making things faster. Jagex have said in the past that they love the fact that different skills are different speeds, that there are fast skills and slow skills, hard skills and easy skills (they said this when defending the Ivy/Sawmill training update, where they made woodcutting very easy, but they WANT woodcutting to be very easy, and I don't think they want RC or agility to be that easy.) I would hope that this philosophy remains when "targeting grind" and instead of speeding things up they make more updates like herblore habitat hunting, or Jadinko firemaking, where they provide an alternative training method, not massively different in exp rate (I know HH hunting is best in game but hunter was always a fast non-buyable, along with Thieving, always was meant to be so) but the new methods just provide a different feel to the motions of training the skill, or don't involve so much money or boring endless purchases and sales on the GE, or otherwise shaking up the way we train, and giving us more options to play how we prefer, whether it be for lesser exp or for equal exp. "Targeting grind" in that way is something I wouldn't mind at all.

 

 

Im not going to argue whether or not grind based games are good or bad however I will say that as long as it is a grind based game there will be a large number of people who choose to cheat. Perhaps maybe not bot anymore but I can imagine gold buying will be on the rise.

 

Your own achievements are extraordinary simply because you are a rare person to not mind the grind (or perhaps even enjoy it).

 

 

 

My personal opinion on how to fix it is, keep xp rates the same make it still take insane amounts of hours ot max out however create non repetitive forms of training. But my cousin with autism (and perhaps a few other people) might hate the lack of repetition.

 

Its just crap game design to make a game solely around click object A, use on object B, repeat 100k times and ive always seen bots as a symptom of Jagex poorly designed game. Bots would either say "[bleep] it ill have a program click 100k times so i dont have to while I do something fun" or the other types of bots will farm gold and sell it to a player, with the player saying "[bleep] it, ill buy gold so I can use Object C on Object D 25k times for 99 and save dozens of hours of my life bypassing repetitive and boring aspects of the game." .... guess I did end up arguing why grind games are bad :lol:

Wasn't the best method for hunter before HH less than half the xp rate of draconic jadinkos?

Wow my Refer A Friend bonus is broken again... this is just ridiculous. Jagex must really hate me.

 

Activated it but not getting any bonus XP and says 6 days left... precious XP going to waste.

[Auror 326]

Aren't butterflies like 200k xp/h?

RAF doesn't work for effigies, right? And the only xp you're getting other than that is ranged from cannon/steel titan and melee from poking the crawlers, right? You were gonna finish those anyway during 200m rc, RAF would just result in getting the max xp cap faster for those skills, not overall. (all predicated on it not working on effigies, lol)

 

EDIT: Oh, I guess you can be a bit angry about farming loss, but you would get that before you're out of 200ms anyway.

[Suomi_Finland 48]

Who said I am using it for effigies?

 

I am training Crafting.

[codecRS 17]

aslong as runescape revolves around xp there will ALWAYS be grinding. find me an mmorpg that doesnt have grinding in it. if people dont like grinding they are playing the wrong type of game.

[Fallstar 614]

Suomi, you're not just using the counter to determine that? Because when I activated mine the counter didn't show the bonus xp, but the bonus was added to to my xp when I hovered over the skill.

[Suomi_Finland 48]

I checked everything, honestly I wouldn't post about it if I didn't know for sure it was broken. This is not the first time it's broken for me anyways.

 

Logged in and out like 1k times too and tried every world... so yeah.

I don't believe you.

No pic, no proof.

[Suomi_Finland 48]

Okay I maybe exaggerated a bit but my point was that I am sure it's broken.

[Xensure 0]

What is absolute fastest melee training you can do? If you don't care about effigies or drops. You just want the purely fastest melee xp/hr? Is it still AZs @ 110k/hr?

I heard vyrewatches are good but I don't know the rate... Just putting it out there.

^That Chronozon vid maker is using such bad gear... why would you even range with a crossbow if you can chin. Either way, if the overkill isn't terrible, he may be decent-ish xp. I suspect dagannoth sentinels (6) are even better.

Don't you get "quest" NPC xp? Which if I remember correctly is 1/4 than normal xp per hit?

 

Is this the same in Dominion Tower or do you get "normal" xp?

Looked like normal from the Video

Refer-a-Friend Programme: The announcement was met with overwhelming negative reception on the forums as players accused Jagex of real-world trading, as players can gain the bonus experience by buying membership for an alternate account rather than a friend.

 

Still true, still stupid.

Forget what I said about Uncut dragonstones, not buying them anymore sorry. They are 50+ gp/xp atm haha, so typical with my luck =P
