RIP Runescape

You don't need a point to argue on. The argument against the rant is built on the fact that the rant severely lacks logic and evidence.

 

Which section of the OP's post lacks logic? The sentence you used might as well be used against you. Seeing as you are basing your statements on..... what exactly? Oh right, your personal opinion. Just like the OP did.

 

1. Skim through the last 48 pages of archived Jagex news, and you can see for yourself that there have been dramatic changes, furthermore helping build the OP's case.

 

2. "The game has been abused over the years". There is walking talking (not so much talking) evidence in the game in the form of bots and scammers, abusing the game. People abusing the chat system. People abusing bugs. People abusing eachother in any way they can think of, be it closing a door continuously to hinder someones progression, or just spamming a chat to prevent any useful information to be relayed.

 

The last part of his post is entirely his own opinion which, when i last checked tip.it's policy he is entitled to have.

 

 

So please point out the "severe" lack of logic and evidence. Or don't reply and find another post - where you might have a real chance of making yourself look good.

Perhaps these people deserve their own forum, where they can pat eachother on their backs, meanwhile confirming eachother of their superiority over all mankind.

"Honestly, this was terrible". - This refers to the hitpoints update.

 

Firstly, I don't see HOW IN THE WORLD this would result in RuneScape's "death". Of course, the OP is entitled to his own opinion, but an opinion has to have a certain standard of logic and reason if it is to be accepted.

Secondly, how the hell IS the update terrible? At least other rants proclaiming RuneScape's death have some semblance of an explanation.

 

No doubt there WERE dramatic changes, but that's just some background information. There's no point in arguing with that.

The issue we're attacking here is the OP making an superfluously huge fuss over a minor update to a skill. Have any of our posts questioned the fact that there have been dramatic changes in RuneScape throughout the years? No.

 

The statement "the game has been abused over the years" refers to Jagex doing so in our opinion, not the players. It's open to interpretation - if you can't come up with conclusive evidence backing up the fact that the OP is referring to players abusing the game, then your whole argument falls too.

Aragorn, if you want to quit, do it quietly.

 

Doing this on Rants is the worst way to have others support you. Feel free to use the back door. Countless players, including veterans, have used that door to announce their retirement. Yet they did not make a scene out of it because they were smart enough not to threaten themselves to quit or complain how Runescape has gone downhill, blah blah blah.

 

Goodbye and good riddance.

Jagex just can't learn not to dramatically change things. This game has been abused over the years. There are changes I like and dislike, but honestly, this was terrible.

That part^. It's hard to find in that huge wall of text, but it starts with "Jagex" and ends with "terrible".

 

Recipe for a successful rant:

 

1. Make no point at all.

2. Let the tears flow.

3. Claim the game died.

 

Add in a shake of rose-tinted glasses, add water, add water, and voila! You've got a bomb!

 

Don't add too much grammar or evidence, for people might confuse it with a real discussion.

The Runescape Cycle - Explained in Steps

 

1. Updates are announced.

2. RSers build up hope for the major update, thinking it will make Runescape "alive" again.

3. Updates are released.

4. RSers make huge rants on the rants forum saying that Runescape is "dead" again.

5. Repeat from Step 1.

6. ???

7. PROFIT!!!

 

This is epic.
