Death by randoms?

[Junkieman]

I dont know if its just me, but does anyone else think that death by randoms is a bit harsh? Many a time I've been on these forums, or talking on messenger for a minute, to return to me in the middle of lumby/fally. I dont mind, its just i end up losing stuff :(. Now dont get me wrong, im not trying to say that we shouldnt have randoms(even tho their purpose was to stop botters, and i know alot of them have anti-random measures anyway). I dont mind randoms, i think they're fine, and i totally support their existence, kinda. I just dont approve of them being able to kill me! I like the ones like miles/niles/iles, where they'll cert all your items. Or Rick turpentine and others, who'll tele you somewhere random(i think? ive never actually ignored him). The old man maze was cool too, and how the boxes dupe in your invent etc. I just dont approve of the death factor involved, anyone else agree with me on this?

this is exactly the point of radom events. dont play away from your computer. random events was introduced to discourage auto-playing macros that could allow somebody to play without being infront their comp. whenever somebody gets killed by a random event because they wernt around to pay attention to their char, jagex pats themselves on the back

i dont play away from my computer, unless ive gone to answer the door or phone or something. i merely do other things at the same time, which is why i think its unfair for me to die from it. And like i said, alot of auto-ing software has detection for random events anyway.

You may have noticed a button called "Log Off" located at the lower right of your game screen. When you get the urge to browse forums, or chat on msn, or if the doorbell, telephone, or nature calls ... use that button, and all your problems will be solved. The game was designed this way. (In spite of what you think you know about macroing programs.) Learn to live with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you find leveling tedious (understandably), then go level another skill, or do some other activity (mini-game, pking, staking, castlewars), or just take a break, go outside, and fill your lungs with fresh air. I promise you that your lungs won't explode from this. (And if they do, it's not like you'll be coming back to complain about it... :lol: )
