Melodrama.

[potatohead]

Irony, anyone?

 

I really don't understand the melodrama nowadays... you can't unlock every bit of an update in a day, so you rage and quit? lolwut? I just love the way the community as a whole thinks now. If it takes more time to get an -OPTIONAL- aspect of the game, that slightly speeds up another skill (which one might enjoy less than the minigame), than it actually boosts said skill, everybody whines and complains about it; calls it useless, inefficient, a 'pointless' update. This most recent update is a nod to everyone that actually has -GASP- fun playing the minigames in runescape... why are people grinding for it? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of it entirely?

 

If you enjoy the grinding aspect of the game, and getting maximum experience for every second you play, do what makes you happy. If I were you, though, I wouldn't get my hopes up for an update that is going to cut down massively on the time to my goal, whatever it may be. It's unlikely that they're going to baby you to the top. You're not special.

 

If you're not having fun, quit, and discontinue your jihad on everyone's enjoyment. Nobody will miss you.

And then there's the irony of someone ranting about ranters.

 

Also note that pissed off people tend to be more vocal, at least in an atmosphere where their, um, pissed-off-edness isn't directly confrontational.

I'm full of irony. And sarcasm. And chocolate.

 

I'm just fed up with all THE END IS NIGH crap everybody is hung up on recently, and needed a place to vent. That's all there is to it. Of course Runescape is dying. Humans start dying as soon as they're born.

 

It's life.

I very much agree with you OP. If an update doesn't interest me I simply don't do it. If I find an update inefficient I don't use it. I also know that there are other people out there who enjoy these updates, and that updates I enjoy will come.

 

Ranting just makes you seem like a spoiled brat. I mean us RS players are fed one update a week. That's like constant updates, which is very good already. No point in complaining anymore.

I guess all players are different and enjoy different activities, so its obvious that some updates will have a better rate to succeed than others. But in general the problem is the amount of time Jagex takes to develop these updates and the final product is not as good as it should be. Obviously there are some problems that the community is waiting to be solved and there is no answer...

 

And more than ranting, I think some people (not everyone) do is constructive criticism which is great :thumbup:

[HappyNooblet]

i agree, i am sick and tired of the people who are sick and tired of the game and bugging me and telling me to quit when i am quite enjoying this game :D

[Crocefisso]

The OP is missing the point of the rants he's ranting against. People who say '0mg RS iz dying' are trying to say 'Jagex are killing RS even quicker than they were', or something similar. I largely agree; one only has to see the ever increasing number of people quitting to see that the current approach is, if not 'fatal', unsustainable. I think that it's important to recognise that melodrama is the result of good points being made either in a state of rage or in a rush, or both.
