chi13 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We've all lounged around in the wildy or in the duel arena for an opponent roughly our level. We finally find that yellow level with the appropriate gear. Time to look him (her) up. Wait s(he)'s named IlIl1IlIl11I. Players do this so that you cannot look them up on the high scores or in the adventure log (because non of us keeps our adventure logs private). Does this annoy you? Aggravate you? Alert you to the fact that this person is indeed a staker? Opinions? It seems to me the name can be just one layer of defence. After squinting at all those l's and finding the guy your guard is let down to the point you stake them their rules, or maybe you don't watch for the rule switch. Personally I won't stake them at all if I can't be arsed to look up their name. A REPLACEMENT?Ok picture this, they replace your yew and magic trees with a tree that if you attempt to cut it alone your axe breaks, if you cut it with a group as soon as you get a log you get a skull on your head, all the other woodcutters attack you and you cant log out for 3 minutes.Bounty hunter and tournaments were not a replacement, they are garbage.

Zaaps1 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I can't see why it matters outside the Wilderness. It would only take a little longer to look up their stats via Stat Spy or other methods mentioned in this thread, giving them the only sort of tangible advantage in the Wilderness, where rival pkers might hesitate to attack them. Even at that point, though... ~It's Super Effective!

krimi Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 There was/is a person here on these forums with a l/i name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuidesForScapers Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I just think that having a name like that shows you don't want people to see your badass stats, so clearly you have a reason to hide them. Not worth the risk. Legalize baby punching. Tax and regulate it. Punch babies erry day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3moteman Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It really doesn't work if you can be bothered the extra few seconds it takes to decipher. I have a friend called vvwvwvwvwvwwv or something and i highscored them no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeMarine Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It mattered back then, now not so much. Plus, it's likely Jagex will add even more things to duel arena like being able to see each other's equipment, stat and inventory screens during wagering/game set-up. Stakers were annoying anyway. They wanted to use the best weapon their high attack could wield, but didn't want me to use the best armor my high defense could use.
