Powerfrog Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 My vision of a bottless world would make skilling worth a ton and PVM not so much. Which would you rather do, craft nature runes, or kill a boss with friends? I'm ignoring anyone that doesn't say kill a boss >.> You'd rather kill a boss. So everyone kills bosses and floods the game with more boss loot than it has players, those people I'm ignoring do the less exciting stuff like crafting nature runes, but hey, people still need to train magic! People still need a lot of nature runes! And there's your money maker. Supply and demand, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafting nats was a blast back in 06 because I did it w/ friends and there were always RC Pkers to keep it exciting. It's a lot more fun and exciting to kill a RC Pker than it is to kill a boss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wkw Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 It was fun to RC and have friends kill RC PKers. Moreso then it was to go to bandos with only lootshare and have a friend get a back to back hilt while i got nothing Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaps Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you look at current RS, bossing is the only way to make money in a reasonable fashion. You also have to realise that not everyone likes camping bosses as the only way to make money. It is fun every once and a while, but I like the ability to train other stats without having to go camp x boss for y hours to train any stat in a way that isn't too much of a time waste. I don't want to have to do something that requires 15 in my stat I want to train at level 80 just to break even or make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggiwhplar Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There were also a lot of "regulars" at Edgeville bank that I became friends with from rc'ing and chatted with during/between trips. Themed worlds sort of discourages regulars in worlds though unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerfrog Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Why should one method of making money be less viable just because you don't like doing it? :-sMaybe I have truly been warped by my own impatience and bloodlust, but i honestly thought the vast majority of people find things like RCing extremely boring and monotonous while things such as PVM are less so and they'd rather do them in their free time. My world vision above is under the assumption everyone would prefer to GWD, not just me. Maybe I'm wrong though, i guess Runescape being what it is would attract players that actually enjoying RCing, as it's a large part of the game that they play. Apologies for my ignorance if this is truly the case, I just can't comprehend it. I also don't understand the term "RC PKer". Most RC, Natures specifically, does not include the wilderness, and it's unlike PVP worlds will ever come back. Plus doesn't everyone absolutely loathe being killed while RCing and frequently (ridiculously) demand for something to be in place to stop it from happening?

An example of hunting RC Pkers-- easily one of the most fun activities in my nearly-10 years of playing RS. Interestingly, I actually bumped into Backtamer (featured in the vid) earlier this week :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuepdElMFFs RC'ing nats via the abyss was great because whenever a PKer came along it allowed you to take a brief break and go PK them to protect your fellow RC'ers. Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing RS, frog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerfrog Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I played in the school tech room as a kid so... 04 or 05, I didn't own a computer at the time and didn't become a member until 07. My PVM addiction is fairly recent, I didn't try GWD until like mid-11. I did nothing in the game but Edgeville pk for well over a year beforehand. (I potted vengeance at 90 mage for several months wasting millions on magic potions as I didn't want to do boring mage training lol. I think I gained a level purely in vengeance casts.) I'm going to be PKing exclusively in 07 too, only intend on doing barrows for some start up cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good news for us alchers :D Unless you cut your own logs, alching was very very little profit... It is sad to see why they're dropping though :| Hopefully EoC's anti-botting will soon be on 07scape. Should get a huge ban list for them to work with the second it's implemented.

That "free month" was only given out under the assumption that they would be charging more to use the OS servers. So instead of added the OS additional fee of like...6 dollars or something, you don't have to pay that fee. But as I understood it, you still needed to be a member to access the servers.Now...since they decided to extend this "No additional Fee" thing for 6 months, I assumed this was no longer a thing... If it still is...and you have no membership, but still using the servers, isn't that extremely unfair to everyone ELSE who voted, but decided to just pay for more than 1 month of membership?
