  1. 1. Do you think Jagex should implement their planned hiscores as described?

@Mods, Yes, I know there are other topics discussing this, but I wanted a poll.

 

I considered just putting yes for each answer, given the way the wilderness / free trade shamocracy was conducted.

99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me!

Removing inactive players from the high scores is good to an extent (removal of bots etc) but inactive players who with very high ranks should perhaps have them preserved. Perhaps say the first 100 ranks for each skill would be preserved regardless

 

Of course any inactive player who becomes active again should have their old ranks re-instated too, do we know if this will be the case yet?

No, Jagex should not implement their planned highscores. Yes, F2P players should be included within highscores. It is extremely idiotic of Jagex to remove F2P players from highscores. If they want to make F2P players jealous of members, and convince them to buy membership, they can simply create some content that would better entice F2P players. It is possible in life to get people to do what you want by taking things away from them, however, that is generally how rebellions start. Rewards work in a much better manner. Also, yes, inactive players should be removed from highscores (only requiring a 1xp gain to be re-introduced to them) The inactive player removal would also have to be accounts that have been inactive for years, and of low ranking.

Jagex shouldn't go with their plan. It looks like their target was inactive players but chose to list it as f2p since they assume all the inactive players stopped paying members and hoard up the spots for their current customers.

 

I do think they should remove the inactive players, but keep the first 2-3 players who made it to 200m in that skill. Otherwise, I think inactive players should be booted from the high scores until they log in.

Add another poll asking if they should split the highscores to f2p and p2p instead.

I'm limited to 3.

Remove the first question as it's redundant. That'll give you room for asking about splitting f2p and p2p

I have to scrap the entire poll to remove previous votes.

No, they should not go ahead as planned.

Yes, free players should be included in the high scores.

Yes, inactive players should be removed but it should be after a fair bit of time has passed. At least a year, maybe more.

THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P.

So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

My problem with that is it would still remove people like Larryr.

Hiscores are there to show the stats of every player, it's called high hiscores for a reason.

Lets say someone get 200m in all skills and after that he quits the game, he will end being inactive and he will be removed from the hiscores.

That's stupid, this should be like a guiness book, where players get high stats and get ranked according to their XP / total level.

 

No point on removing inactive players, but maybe removing low-ranked players, or having a min level to get ranked on hiscores (1500 total level for example) would work better than this system.

I don't think Jagex should continue with their plan and I think F2P should be on the highscores. Don't care much about the inactivity thing.

 

Also, the first two questions are practically the same :P

Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.
[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

There should be three separate highscores, not the removal of anyone.

 

The first should be for all active players who have gained x amount of xp in x amount of time to be considered active.

 

The second should be for f2p only. That way they can still be able to compete with each other for their own highscores. It is a game after all, not just a demo.

 

The third should be for all players, like it is now. This should include p2p, f2p, and all inactive players.

 

I don't see why they can't just do this.

I think filter options for highscores would be a neat addition, for example: View all players/members/non-members/active accounts/whatever/slashie

I don't think ftp should be removed from highscores, that's stupid. If they want ftp to become members I'd prefer they added enticing members content, rather than removing game content. As, you know, members content helps me too.

 

Difficult to say what I think an inactive account should be. What I think they consider a problem, is that for some skills it'd be offputting for a noob to only get ranked in (str/woodcut, whatever the highest is idk) that skill by getting level 70+, so I think they want the low end of the skills removed so it's easier to get on the highscores. With that in mind, I think if you get over level 85/90 in a skill or over 1000/1500/1750/whatever total level or 30M/50M total exp, to stay in the highscores forever. I don't think it's fair to remove people that put effort into their goals from the highscores (unless they fall under rank 2m I suppose) but I can see the issue with stats like Strength and woodcutting eventually needing rather high levels to be ranked. Hell, like 1/8 people ranked in strength have 99 =p

Again, we might all be reading too much into this. It's possible that quiries can still find every player's (p2p, f2p, inactive) score. It may be only the actual ranking where it shows your position that's a member's only feature. If that's the case, well, it's not that bad. Yeah, as F2P you can't tell what your 18million xp in fishing ranks with all players p2p, f2p and inactive. But if you can still see your actual scores then that's cool.

 

So, assuming that it's only the ranking that's removed but everything else remains, will people be cool with that?

 

Personally, I'm ok with not ranking inactive players. I've made such suggestions in the past. I can kind of sort of understand not ranking F2P if for nothing else the bot nuke showing many, many f2p were botted which messed up the high scores something fierce. Still, what's wrong with ranking F2P accounts IF they are logged in and play at least 1 hour a month?

I don't like their planned removal of f2p player. Each player works hard for their stats and it's a shame that in order for a player to compare himself to the world, he would have to pay for that opportunity. It will also give the impression that p2p players are superior & more accomplished users then their f2p counterparts basically deeming their accounts worthless.

Inactive players shouldn't be removed if they have a certain level. People who get level 50 then quit rs, sure remove them, but anyone with a significant total level or multiple 99 stats shouldn't be removed, since even the easiest 99's still require a good amount of time dedicated to reach it.

First, I wish Jagex would be honest and give all the reasons for this change. I'm quoting you is that I think one of the reasons is that many 99s out there are botted 99s for gold mining that gave up the account after the nuke. Jagex may not have proof to ban it, but if it's not being used then don't rank it.

 

Anyway, some ways Jagex could do this, assuming they're capable: If your account isn't active, it isn't ranked though others can look at your individual account skills (stat sigs should still be able to work). Yes, this unfortunately affects theoldnite, larryr and others but I think many P2P and F2P will back up this idea. If you're active F2P, ONLY your F2P skills count for your skill total in the overall rankings. You don't show up on individual skill rankings for member skills even if you rank high in them. Again, I think quite a few can agree with this.

 

I just don't see the reason for blocking all of F2P on the ranking table. At least rank the active accounts, and if it really matters rank only the skills that are F2P skills.

Jagex making hiscores P2P only is the first step. Then they might do something stupid like take away Pking from F2P.

 

Such madness. :3
