While playing Fist of Guthix, I was constantly called a "nerd", "loser", and even some obscenities - all for merely running away. I don't understand why people can get so mad for me playing my role, the hunted. After all, I'd chase after my prey if I was a hunter.

 

 

Not sure if the other people who even posted play FOG.

 

 

 

The majority of people playing fog are there to TRAIN MAGIC.

They don't CARE about tokens.

 

 

If paired with someone like you a wall-hugger / hider it is frustarting.

 

 

 

In your rant you fail to mention how often the people you are hunting just remain at the center of the game collecting charges.

If I was paired up with someone like you I would simply exit.

 

 

It's an unwritten rule that most players play by where they just go to the middle to speed things up.

 

Try it sometime -.-

You still get tokens.

 

 

I guess it's just my personality but if I"m playing a game and I'm being insulted, then maybe the problem is not other's its you.

 

Try reading a guide or two on how to play FOG and use your observations for how others play.

If the person you are hunting directly goes to middle you should as well.

 

Runescape people communicate by insulting you if what you are doing negatively impacts their gameplay.

Stop being selfish.

 

 

And FYI jagex creates mini-games and the way they are actually played by RS players are two different versions.

Don't believe the Jagex version of how to play a mini-game.

Many low levels play FOG for magic exp, and many high levels play FOG for battle robes. It takes ~250ish FOG games in f2p for the robes, and obviously they want to finish the games as fast as possible so they can collect their reward.

Oh, so we suddenly have a moral obligation to fulfill their purpose for playing FoG?

 

Sorry if I misunderstood you. Try to make clear your stand instead of simply stating the obvious.

[Sir_Squab]

Well, personally I find it annoying when people much lower level than me run in FoG (especially on f2p), it's just a waste of my time. On the other hand; if we are about equal, I prefer it that we both play our roles properly.

How does the hunted play their role properly without running. Seriously, it at least gives them a few extra charges before they die.

 

And they lose.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah your funny. I have better things to do then try to tank in the center vs claws. I also can't outtank a say, level 100 pure, because they're offense skills are typically higher then mine, whereas my higher defence doesn't do much. Especially in the center. Oh, and 10 levels come from summoning, which doesn't help me there; especially since sometimes the portals can really work for you.

 

This also just counts towards people who have higher levels and equipment then me period...but, frankly, I don't fight them that often. (Although the level 125ish I saw with a gs, claws, wolpe, arcane stream really scared me...)

That was an incredibly arrogant post. As I just mentioned I can't beat higher levels or pures at FoG without hiding/running and occasional house/portal usage. I've tried tanking against pures, they will me WAY faster then I can kill them. You evidently do not play competitive FoG. If the person has higher stats and better weapons then you, you will fail tanking. I can amass quite a few tokens walking around about half-way between the edge and the house perimeter and usually get 200+ charges before I'm even found.

 

I play the game fairly competitively, and as thus, I REFUSE TO BOW DOWN TO YOUR STUPID MORONIC STRATEGY WHICH WILL CAUSE ME TO LOSE HALF MY GAMES. Oh look, I'm not the only one who can use big font sizes?

 

Frankly, I don't see why it's my fault when people insult me for trying to win the game, rather then using a strategy that's doomed to failure.

 

I still remember my favorite argument with someone at FoG. He pointed out that I'm a running/hiding noob. My main argument was that, hey, I won.

As much as I dislike people who believe that tanking at the center should be the main strategy and get highly annoyed when you hide, run, and often times ultimately win because of it, they are also part of life that we must deal with. Methods of dealing with it include loving the person who put that youtube video here....

[Nomrombom]

All things considered, if a lowish level person politely asks you to tank the center so they can splash you, you really should do it as they're not going to hit you anyway.

 

 

Other than that, it's everything goes. The only thing I really dislike is the hunter's run charge being the same as hunted's. Hunter should have more since hunted is hiding and moving in ziggety crossity weird patterns everywhere.

Why should you oblige some low level player if you don't feel like it? It's not a law nor is it morally wrong to not do so.

 

Does it really matter that much about the run energy? You can simply chase with just a rune scimitar/whatever when you need melee, and range/mage sets if you need ranged/magic. Melee armor doesn't really give significant attack bonuses, and range/mage armors are quite light anyway. How the hell is the hunted supposed to beat the hunter if he's running out of energy faster than the hunter? And he can't retaliate or anything.

[Nomrombom]

So you're basically saying that if a person IRL asks you to hold their pencil so they can tie their shoe, you should say no since holding the pencil inconveniences your mood?

 

That is pretty much what you're saying. If someone wants you to let them SPLASH you - not even hit you, just SPLASH - you shouldn't do it?

 

 

What's next? You won't give directions to someone who's lost?

This. When I got 300 MA rank, I'd always hate people who'd try to win. All I'm going for are the ranks, the game sucks.

So you're basically saying that it's wrong to not do something simply because it inconveniences your mood? So why don't you go and give very small change to every beggar you pass on the street? The money doesn't really matter (assuming you work and earn sufficient money), and it only "inconveniences your mood". Wait - I don't see that happening.

 

The pencil analogy - I'm quite sure very few people where I live would help a random stranger if he asked. They would only help if he's a friend or something. But perhaps American culture or whatever is different.

 

The lost person analogy - Ok, why don't you make a pledge to help any lost person you meet no matter how angry, how tired or how pressed for time you are? And why can't someone be playing FoG to relieve stress, to relax, to vent frustration, or is just some no-lifer rushing to get tokens to buy something?

 

I'm not saying it's morally correct to not help when you have time, you're rich, you're in quite a good mood, etc. I'm just saying it isn't morally wrong if for some reason you don't feel like helping.

 

So you are still here flaming others aren't you?

It's like you joining some [developmentally delayed]ed competition about who can eat the most (random disgusting thing). It's obviously [developmentally delayed]ed, but I'm going for the "ranks"!! And I'm going to hate you if you stop me from doing it/advise me against it!!!

For some minigames yes. It is more fun versus if people played like jagex suggests.

 

Mobilizing armies.

FOG

GOP

 

It's not fun chasing after some player who runs and hides and hugs walls while you are FOGing.

Mobilizing armies is a complete fail.

GOP you can afk if you play 50-50.

 

 

 

Clan wars and castle wars free for all are fine where people do whatever they like.

 

Stealing creation I could go either way. The more challenging way is fun but if I just want tools the shorter peaceful games are better.

[Sir_Kurity]

This is runescape.

 

Just as bad, if not worse than any competitive FPS community. (I'm guessing you played FPS games)

Lolwut?

 

A low level is FAR more likely to run from a higher level, because its his only chance of winning, its what i do in FOG and i win most of my games.

You just contradicted your whole argument. I don't think I need to explain - wait, I forgot who I was talking to.

 

The "most efficient" way to play the game is also the "most fun"? Aside from that being a huge logical and factual fallacy, it just contradicts your first point and your defending of stonewall337. Stonewall337 admits he was going for the reward only, and he clearly stated that he hated the game. Wow - efficiency = fun. RIGHT...

Unless your logic fails so badly (wait, it does) that you think tanking is considered evasion of an opponent, I don't see how Jagex suggests that you tank in the center instead of running.

I think I roughly get his meaning, but his English is really [cabbage].

 

------

 

Anyway, let's move on to the subjectiveness of "fun".

 

Some people happen to enjoy seeing high level but skill-less players getting owned by low level players (themselves). I don't see how you have a right to impose your supposed idea of fun on others. It's an MMORPG - you choose your own roles, how you want to play the game. It doesn't matter what others think of you. The MMO part simply suggests the interaction between players, not that you're morally obliged to follow the "social norm".

 

I can go on and on dissecting and ripping your post apart, but I'd rather not waste my time since you'd just bounce back with ridiculous posts again and again.
