People playing Runescape, but not enjoying it

He's the guy near the counter. The tokens you earn, you know? You can trade them to Reggie for berserker shields, gauntlets, RC/fishing/herblore gloves, or combat robes. You can also uncharge anything by talking to him and asking him to do so. Uncharged drag gaunts go for something like 230k on the GE :smile:

 

Edit: The drag gaunts are 300 tokens, and I suggest you check out the tip it guide to FoG.

 

Its also probably a good idea to save up tokens for battle robe pieces (specifically the robe-bottom, which costs 1000 tokens), the price has gone up 666% in half a year. Thats because the street price is like 15mil due to the sheer money-saving power of a full-set combined with a staff of light (plus with the update to recharge costs, real easy to fix up when they degrade).

 

Actually, the most token efficient item to buy is adamant berserker shields, but no one buys them so rune gaunts are next best and F2Pers buy them all the time. Battle robes are actually not very token efficient.

 

(token efficient = high gp gained per token)

 

Yes, I'm saying that it could possibly be a worthy investment for some time in the future, I wasn't telling anyone to sell them now, that would be stupid. There is an increased demand for battle robes nowdays. I'm fairly confident they will yield higher token efficiency than the lesser items eventually.

Wellll, I hate Herblore and Farming with the fury of a thousand suns, but I really, really want to do WGS someday, so I level them with much complaining. And Mining is boring too, but I'm willing to slog to 77 to get Concentrated Coal. Or Summoning! Another one that drives me bat[cabbage], but I gather charms from my combat levelling and every so often I go and get a level or two, because someday I want a Bunyip so I can slay more effectively. Or any level requirement for a quest. I love quests, adore them, and I'm willing to blow a surprising amount of time on getting the levels needed so I can play through the stories. (Like Smithing. Hate it, hate it, hate it. But I want to do Rocking Out, so someday I will get 69 Smithing.)

Somewhere upwards of 5mil for a battle robe bottom seems pretty good to me. Thats like 5k gp per token. Way better then the 775gp per token that rune or dragon gaunts will get you.

If you played runescape expecting to enjoy every second of it then no one would have 99 agility, think about it. it's a relatively slow skill that can't be afked and has no monetary reward and the last useful thing to come from the level is the agility armor and shortcuts that cutoff at like 90.

 

I have 99 agility, I enjoyed very little of my time training it but I love the fact that I have set my mind on a goal and accomplished it. that I managed to get 99 in a skill that most people cant' tolerate past level 70. i've played since 2001 so i am clearly not from the "new generation" and I can tell you from personal experience that the efficiency/grind mentality has been around since the beginning. Most people played casually and somewhat "noobish" until they found a community like tif for instance. I've been apart of tif since early 02 when it was still scapeboards and that is how i learned to be a more efficient player and because of that I enjoy my playing time much more now. You have to grind to be rewarded with the more fun aspects of runescape these days. I'm currently grinding out 95 prayer for turmoil, is it fun no. But will it be worth it? Yes.

I liked getting 99 agility. I'd think most people who have it did.

Street price "brah", battle robes are extremely undervalued on the GE currently, but they also have a limited supply. This means updating is rare, and it will take a long time for them to reach their GE potential.

I instantly log out if I'm doing some I don't want to. Unless, of course, I'm going for a level so I can manage a quest or something.

I have to ask, why do you start doing something you don't want to do?

[bonzeben23]

it's probably because they feel an in-born urge "beat the game" or something similar

Heh. That is the most likely reason. Why do the social expectations of society have to carry over into video games?

[Persi]

When you get 99s it's really fun! But, there are the fun moments and the boring moments just like IRL. RuneScape is a multi-tasking game. Sometimes while I play RuneScape I watch videos, TV, read webcomics, or I just get into PMing my friends.

I've never gotten a 99, but I feel the same way about grind ing for quest requisites. Right now , I'm working towards wgs, and it's actually kinda fun running around getting potion ingredients.

[Persi]

We'll, before I got 99 Fletching I was freaking out and I bought some magic logs, because there faster and I wanted it faster.

[Saru Inc]

It's the skillcapes. The entire game is a race to 99 and that is all anybody cares about anymore.

 

 

Because you said so?

 

 

Minergoo, in all honesty why do you care why people play? The human psyche still hasn't been completely been mapped out, there's no use trying to do it now.

[Low C]

Minergoo, I understand the only reason your going for 200m woodcutting is because it is a personal achievement in your eyes. But seriously why would you chop vines all day long for "fun" I could think of a ton of other ways to have fun other than the intense skill it takes to click on a vine and switch your screen to something else while you wait for the chopping sound to stop. I play to train pointless things that are sometimes not even fun at all, because I find it to be an achievement. That is why I find it "fun".

[Sir_Kurity]

Some people have fun showing off there skillcapes.

 

Of course, theres hours of mindnumbing crap before you can show off your skillcape, but for some its worth it :D
