Obtaurian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Of course he wanted a response, as did you by formulating an argument and presenting it to the board. I agree 100%. So what's the problem, then? To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Of course he wanted a response, as did you by formulating an argument and presenting it to the board. I agree 100%. So what's the problem, then? We're going through a recurring continuum of proclaimed triviality which was initiated with "What an unnecessary thing to ask a Woodcutter!" followed by "What an unnecessary rant!" followed by "What an unnecessary post!" followed by "What an unnecessary post!"---> This is perpetuated by the following factors: 1. We like to argue.2. It serves to keep the Rants alive and kicking, which is a plus. This place can be pretty fun (dramatic) when it isn't stagnating and rotting.3. MOAR post count.

Obtaurian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 So you're posting in this thread to raise your post count? Cool, I guess. Now why is OP unable to use his ignore list? To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 He is not unable to, but apparently he does not want to. Just like you don't want to stop arguing and posting here. I guess the answer would be the quest for fun. Also, ignore list is a weak argument. This rant is about the mindset that people have against using low Xp rate methods for the sake of goals and achievements. As he said himself, he is not bothered by their asking as much as he is the mindset they have in the first place. Using the ignore list does nothing about the fact that they uphold that particular belief - which is what he takes issue with. Also not to mention, he would not be having fun adding name after name to his ignore list, when nobody should even care so much. It also gives him incentive to rant, which is a good way to get the arguments rolling, and we know how fun that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 He is not unable to, but apparently he does not want to. Then his rant is unwarranted. That's like cutting your own hand off and complaining about it as if you didn't do it to yourself. He's either stupid or a masochist. I'm putting my money on the latter.

Saru Inc Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 He really should just learn to whip his hair back and forth.

That's like cutting your own hand off and complaining about it as if you didn't do it to yourself. He's either stupid or a masochist. I'm putting my money on the latter. That was a bad example. It's more like someone doing something irritating, and you complaining about it as opposed to disregarding it (MOAR irony!). Also, it is kind of impossible to "ignore" it entirely unless you turn public chat off, which is a trade-off I'm sure OP didn't want to make. So I guess you could also say that he's ranting about how it shouldn't even have to come to using ignore or private chat. It's about as warranted as almost every other rant/complaint/criticism on Rants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ranting about the opinions of strangers is even more [developmentally delayed]ed than ranting about said strangers expressing their opinions. Hold on, let me go make a thread about how skillers are big meanies because they prefer to skill. EVERYONE SUPPORT MY THREAD OKAY AND NO ONE BE MEAN THANKS. :))))) EDIT: @Crusty - Wrong. My example is perfect. He purposefully puts himself in a position to be made fun of, then complains about being made fun of. Same thing. He's an idiot either way. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Obtaurian Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I can't tell if you're being facetious or not. Are you sure you know what the definition of 'irony' is? To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He purposefully puts himself in a position to be made fun of, then complains about being made fun of. Same thing. He's an idiot either way. So he directly and intentionally asks to be ridiculed for having an uncommon goal, which is analogous to directly and intentionally cutting your own hand off? I can't tell if you're being facetious or not. Are you sure you know what the definition of 'irony' is? Examples of irony: When someone who is pro-life murders an abortion doctor. When someone who plays Runescape tells another person how to best use their time. When someone who says that trivial matters should just be ignored and not cared about is complaining about trivial matters instead of ignoring it and not caring about it. The underlines show what their position is. The italics show the twist behind them doing something inconsistent with their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zierro Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 That's not irony, just examples of irony. Obtaurian also described an ironic situation. I figured three good examples would paint the picture that I do have a clear understanding of what an ironic situation is. In fact, I would say that consistently using a word correctly in a couple of sentences is a better implication that the person has a good understanding of the word than if they were to just recite the dictionary definition verbatim.

All_Is_Great Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 But anyway, the OP still won't tell anyone why he can't find the option to turn public chat off, or why he doesn't know how to use the ignore list. RS is a MMORPG after all right? There are plenty of relaxing conversations going around when you're woodcutting, so if you turn off public chat, you might miss it. Sure, you can use the ignore list, but then others who aren't ignored still ask that same question. The problem from which this rant stems is why people have to ask such questions and why they can't just accept that he's cutting willows. All of you are perfect examples of his rant, constantly going "but I don't understand why he cuts willows instead of ivy, they are the same thing!". If this problem didn't exist, he'd never have to use his ignore list at all, y'know what I mean? The problem isn't that he's too stupid to use an ignore list, the problem is that others must judge that he is cutting willows and not ivy.

Aiel Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 because op finds staring at different colors of poorly made pixelated trees for 10,000 piles of pixelated logs each more fun the staring at a poorly made pixel wall with green lines for half the time. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

He wouldn't be at Ivy for "half the time" because he isn't doing it for the xp.I also don't see what's wrong with him liking that either. I enjoy killing poorly animated and designed monsters for hours in hopes of an equally poorly designed drop so I can later sell it for unimportant poorly designed piles of gold coins Fisher/Woodcut------Me-----Miner/crafter----Stabber----Leecher ^Golvellius must be so proud^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
