TheAncient Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 lol what a terrible topic. woox16 is just another runescaper. this. i'm tired of people idolizing woox. he's good, but he's not godly. he even forgot to overload during a trio - a HUGE mistake. he also forgot to anti at the bank during his duo. all he's really good at is ss flash timing. stoke is arguably better. I admire Woo, just as many others do for obvious reasons, but of course, I don't think he is godly--though I don't have have a harsh view of him like you do either, as if one or two mistakes made during one trip really belittle his other accomplishments--just about everyone makes those minor mistakes. He isn't known as the guy who never made mistakes during Nex trips, he is known as the guy who really put quite a bit of effort into boss hunting and came with quite a few innovative methods(SWH for one thing) and impressive results. It is probably true that anyone with resources could have achieved those results but what makes Wooo notable is that he is one of the few people who actually bothered. Perhaps it is just me but I sense something personal/ulterior in your post :rolleyes: . Furthermore, I agree, he has certainly done a lot of things but he isn't an 'era-defining' guy--quite a few of those have passed on and without much mention(Zarfot, Zezima etc.). you could argue the same for anyone who spends time furthering methods for a particular boss or skill... such as grimy and plenty of other people on this forum Ever wanted to find street prices of RS items?

Bangin_Blonde Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Meh just takes 1 person to take his place as #1 boss killer which will happen with the next major update that makes Nex soloible without glitches If that happens within the next 6 months that person will be "the New Woox" if its later then that person will be the new Woox but people wont remember who Woox was to call him such Apparently it also just takes one person to ruin a game. I think his name is Gerhard... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoko Kurama Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 you could argue the same for anyone who spends time furthering methods for a particular boss or skill... such as grimy and plenty of other people on this forum Which is precisely why I mentioned Wooo as *one* of a few people who try such things(I was referring to MHing) with zeal. Just take the Corp issue--sure we have all seen Wooo'x 'epic' solo victories, but what we haven't seen is all the effort he put. How many times did he die and so fourth. The reason Woo was famous for that was other people--like me, decided, 'Nah, we can do it in teams, solo is a waste of supplies'. Same with SWH, most others thought it was wasteful. I am fond of a lot of the things people like Grimmy do. Like I mentioned before, I don't idolize Wooo, but I certainly do give credit where it is earned--this is certainly one such case. Wooo is not as normal and average a scaper as some people on this thread would have us believe. As far as Boss hunting is concerned, others do idolize him and put on a pedestal(which while I don't do personally--I can certainly see the rationale). This is coming from someone who didn't care much for most of Wooo's videos. I watched some of them, but I wasn't subscribed and nor did I personally come back running each time he soloed Corp with new limits--I just found most of those things impressive when I heard about them and when I saw them from the few videos I did watch.

He has cause what I think is irreparable harm to their game's reputation and will lead it to ruination. -edit- Not to mention being marred by scandals.

dirk4slayer Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 End of an Era? Seriously? I mean, Woox16 was obviously one of the bigger players out there, but to call him quitting the end of an era.. he was the pioneer when it came to soloing corp, sure, but to say that he made any impact whatsoever on the game.. As said before, players like Zarfot (in my opinion the catalyst of the whole efficiency era that holds RS in its grip now) are players that have actually had an impact on the way we play RS.Nevertheless, it's a shame that he quit, sure, but you're kind of exaggerating here.. Chuck Norris doesn't ever need a compass; he randomly points somewhere and north goes there in order not to anger him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmmmm83 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 More to the point, i think if they ever started selling their own gold to players, or the game wasn't updated as much (in correlation to demand)They already sold ingame items for real cash. Flagstaff, climbing boots, row-bug, dungeoneering xp-abuse with no punishment, the promised super-bot-detection-system, ... It all adds up and makes me loose intrest in RS. Why camp bosses hours on end or skill when you can achieve the same thing by buying cash/botting. <_< BTW: Everyone saying they never heard of Woox16 must have been living under a rock the past year.

Wingless Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 He quit 'cause he didn't like the game and where it was going. And the way the company is acting. Big deal.

Jimmyw3000 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 even from a neutral perspective, it's still easy to see that jagex made several large mistakes, with the ROW bugs and the 'free p2p if you go the the event'. in regards to woox, i didnt even know he was 14/15 lol.

Carl0Dublin Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Heard of him. Know what he's done. Didn't ever care about what he did. Don't care that he's gone. End of an era? Nah.

Bini Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 He wasn't that big of a player.... Yes he was first to solo Corp and other things but even greater things were done by much greater players. I mean, by big we have Zezima, Bluerose13x, Zarfot, Durial321, Larryr etc. Those were big. I do understand the reason he quit and I do not like what Jagex is doing and not doing at the moment either.

Albel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I don't really see Woox quitting would cause an avalanche. People probably quit over every update, it's just that just this time it's someone who is well-known.This. In my opinion the OP is making a huge deal out of nothing. People quit everyday from updates or issues with runescape (Hell I have quit because of updates) But to say that this one person quitting, who just happens to be a famous runescape player would cause major problems in the future is jumping the gun a little don't you think? Sure the reason he quit might be justified, but I'm sure A LOT of people have quit because of the same reasons. In this game, one person does make a difference over the entire community. Someone would have do something ungodly for that to happen.
