WRITE FOR THE TIMES - SUBMIT A GUEST ARTICLE:

Remember, YOU can write an article for the Tip.It Times! You can apply to write full time, or just submit a "one-off" guest article any time you want! Our editors will work with you to ensure that your article is ready for publication. All guest articles can be submitted to @tripsis or any other Editorial Panel member.

I'd like to remind people of the rules pertaining to Times threads:

 

[hide=Read these rules before posting in this thread]

Rampant flame wars have taken control of virtually every week's times discussion topics. The following guidelines must be followed when posting on this topic. Posts that ignore these guidelines will be removed.

 

1. You are invited and welcome to express like or dislike on articles and a particular author's writing style. It is not acceptable, however, to flame or personally insult an author. Posts that aren't anything but an attack will be removed from the topic.

 

2. Spelling and grammar errors can be reported to tripsis by PMing her and they will be fixed promptly. It is not necessary to post them on the discussion topic.

 

3. Off topic posts that do not discuss the content of that week's articles will be removed. This is not the place to discuss the direction of the times, how much you love or hate the times, etc. Off topic posts will be removed.

 

By keeping within these guidelines, Times discussion topics will mean more for the Panel and Administration than just a place for flame wars. Flame wars do not provide any useful feedback to the Times, which is mainly what we're aiming for with these topics: feedback.

 

This policy is effective as of now, November 17, 2010. Any posts prior to the creation of this policy may or may not be removed according to the new guidelines.

Nice article. When I look at my motivation for playing Runescape, I want to attain 99 in all skills; that being said, I am not against any boost / edge I can get! I remember when I first started playing longed for the day when I could do "x". That time would come and then I would long for something else: for me the further you go, the more you have to go. As I am really in the middle as far as experience goes, lvl 1849 in skills, I really don't know yet where I can find huge chunks of experience. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place :).

 

All I know is I am trying to get to lvl 88 in smithing: and I have 2.6 million exp to go: whether I can get double exp or not, it will still take a while :))

I thought the first article was very well written and whole heartedly agree with what the author said. The game can only survive as long as it's constantly updated, be as it may that some players don't like some updates as much as others.

 

I've grown used to the SoF and SGS updates after realising that they really don't affect my own playing at all. If someone else buys spins from SoF, then that's their money they want to spend. Or if someone got 99 skills different, faster ways than I did - good for them. One should play to achieve his own goals and play because you enjoy doing so. Not because you want to impress others. And looking from the point of view of updates devaluing your achievements, you are definitely trying to impress other people instead of being proud yourself of what you have achieved.

 

I keep playing as long as they keep updating the game and giving more content to look forward to. I have played over 10 years now, yet I don't see any reason for me to quit. Not as long as I enjoy playing.
