Are you talking about stuff with 'Fatality', etc?

 

Dude, those guys make lots of $$$ a Year with just gaming...

 

That guy is the No. #1 in 'Halo', Halo 2' and lots of more games..

 

They make like 10.000 a tournament..

 

 

 

Ontopic:

 

 

 

Pretty fun idea, but what kind of 'tournament's, would you suggest..

 

 

 

fatality played Painkiller and is now playing Quake4 NOT halo....

 

 

 

If you are looking for an apology you're looking at the wrong person here... it was Eelspremiers' statement, not mine. I was actually partly on your side with that statement about this tournament idea encouraging/causing violation of the real world item trade rule.

 

 

 

 

 

My sincere apologies henk! I was quite furious at the time I was writing, so I made a big mistake quoting. I will correct my statement immediately!

i'm sorry, I have few time to read all these posts, but I did read the first one. And here are my thoughts, they may have been mentioned already...

 

 

 

First of all, it's not going to happen. Trust me. The time required to make this, is gigantic. Any idea what they should make? They should completely modify the cw system to use fixed teams, they should modify the fight pits to a "hosting" system, where you can set passwords etc for your game. This is realy, a HUGE step already. But then they have to build an entire clan support system, and that's not that easy as well.

 

 

 

But anyway, they coulddo it. BUt unfortunately they wont. Because, face it or not, this game is not to "skill based". Whether you will win or not, will be 90%based on your stats, and these will be based on the amount of time you put into the game. So realy anyone could win. There's no real thril. On the other hand, when you talk about these "pro-gamers", that are games like halo, Fifa, Quake, UT,... (I just named a few games of which I know that tournaments have been held world wide for quite large sums of cash). A player, who plays for a few weeks, could get just as far as a player who plays for a year. The player for a few weeks, may have a lot of skill, but the longterm player just knows the levels outof his head!

 

 

 

In order to host a real tournament, your game should be at least skilled based. I'm not saying that if you put 10 lvl 125+ in a clan and 10 lvl 110's, that the 125's will win. But it is far more likely, to likely infact...

 

 

 

Maybe I failed to express myself, but basicly I wanted to say that runescape is the wrong kind of game for this ;)

I liek this idea.... I would support it more if Jagex would raise the caps because the good players have alot of extra exp in their attack/def/str...

There is only a very small margin in RuneScape for any kind of 'skill'. The only places where 'skill' is applicable is knowing when to eat, what spells work best, the proper inventory/equipment setup, and the proper strategies for taking on specific classes of player. Granted good knowledge of or lack there of these skills can win or loose a match for you, it dosen't effect the outcome all that much.

 

 

 

What does effect the outcome significantly is the experience points you have in your respective combat skills, how rich you are, and largely, LUCK. I have never seen MMORPGs in which these factors play a significant role; even in games that have much more skill required than in this one, like aiming and firing bows; have tournaments with real world cash prizes. I don't realistically ever see it happening, even if they make some revolutionary changes in RS3, if there ever is an RS3 (doubtful on that one). The only good tournament games are ones; like mentioned previously; in which all contenders start out with equal means, weather it be the same gun, set of skills to choose from, sword, number of buildings and units as in third person games, or whatever.

Thats if you were a high lvl, but what is your not?

this would have to be for players over 18 since gambling under that age is illegal.

Dunno If This Was Said Before But This Would Kind Of Be Like A Counterstrike Or Halo Tournament If Anyones Seen Those Where Teams Get Together And Try To Take On Other Teams For The Cash Prize Awarded To The First Place Team

runescape isnt skill, its just clicking pixels hate to say it, i dont know why im so addicted to watching my xp number go up.

There's only one wrong thing about your idea. Runescape is an RPG. It doesn't take to much skill to click more then someone for better stats. The reason that FPS, fighting and other games(Starcraft) have tournaments is because of their skills in aiming or concentration. Also in runescape everyone doesn't have an equal chance of winning due to their skills. In fps tournys usually you start out with the same weapon or get to choose your weapon so it depends on your aiming. In games like Starcraft it depends on your strategy I would think. There's not much strategy in Runescape.

great idea i would acctually have a good reason to play instead of bordem :)

 

 

 

Yeah, id look into it..but i doubt it will ever happen. :oops:

I agree with everyone else. It really doesn't take skill to click a screen. In games like Starcraft you do click a screen but it involves a great deel of strategy to win. You have to build offenses and at the same time build defences while all the time increasing the size and power of your base/arsenal. They would have to expand Runescape and change nearly everything. This would almost definitely result in a C.D. Although there is nothing wrong with them doing this as long as the leave the normal one on the net, the can't make money-making tournaments on the Runescape they have right now.

hmm after reading through alot of the LONG replys i have to say that JaGeX should go and contact ebay... Strike a deal with them so that they will auto lock any auction pertaining to runescape... :D

 

 

 

but there are always those 3rd party sites the penny auction . com and the online trader sites... :?

Just got back from school, and read the post. Thanks guys for posting and after reading the posts from people like r2pleasent, Peronix, veryhyper, Bambino etc here it would probably be better if such money tournaments were not around for the meer fact that clicking on a screen is not to hard and the rs is too stat based for the good of the competition making it not as skill based in killing as it should be to be fair.

 

 

 

and...

 

 

 

Thats if you were a high lvl, but what is your not?

 

 

 

That's the whole point it's only for the best of the best. I don't think any lower levels (including myself) deserve to be playing for money.

 

 

 

and...

It's in no way gambling based its recieving prizes for your effort...you have nothing to gamble out of a competition like this.

 

 

 

 

 

and... finally "Primadog" the post about calling you an idiot wasn't directed at you personally. It was directed at runescape as a whole and any idiot which may grace the paths of varrock. I edited the post anyway and if it offended you in anyway...well then I'm Sorry! :wink:

Halo does that, Why not Runescape, and if it ever happens, then my friends will stop nagging me about how bad runescape is cuz of graphics. GRAPHICS ARENT EVERYTHING NOOBS!!!!

Jagex don't need to strike a deal with Ebay. Ebay themselves know it's illegal and anyway people generally don't get away with it, because of the new technology Jagex say they have in detecting people who trade these accounts or items.

 

 

 

As it was stated on Runescape.com on the 24th of February this year in this article http://news.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/newsitem.ws?id=552 people are not getting away with breaking rule 12, with them banning nearly 1000 accounts recently of the breach of this rule.

 

 

 

So I don't think that Jagex or anyone should/would be worried about item or account trading no matter what website they trade it on and even if a new competition system was introduced, because of Jagex new technology. :) :wink:

Btw... People have made MILLIONS playing a game called... well... i forgot it, but its in this month's issue of wired. Check it out. It requires a real money investment and then you win money in the game that gets translated back into money by a 10 to 1 ratio.

 

 

 

Very hyper i think yhou are correct here... FPS's and other games dont have in-game skills to "level up" it requires intierly on the persons skill...

i dunno... war3 and counterstrike are da games, and rs is just an online game for fun it would be pretty complicated to get ranks and stuff... but it would be kool if jagex would give money to ppl for certain skills or something :D :shock: :D :? :shock: :D

What about a new Idea of the first to 99 in a new skill such as Capentry or anything like that. :) :?

Bump...anyone else have an idea or opinion? :?

I only glazed over the first page of this post, so sorry if I'm repeating something already said. I'm lazy tonight.

 

 

 

I think that this would be a good idea for publicity, but I do not think that this should be invoked for real money.

 

 

 

I suggest that instead of real life money that Jagex gives coins or new rare items to each member of the winning clan. If they actually add in clan or guild support (beyond those silly team capes) and the guild has a seperate bank account from all members then maybe give the clan/guild itself some money too. This would greatly increase the pleasure of many PKers and PKing clans.

i think it is an awesome idea but i dunno who would sponcer such a thing.....hell i would if i had the money...

I total support this idea and think it would be a great step for jagex to take. I just think it needs some improvement.

 

 

 

First of all implementing these events would cause a major shift of focus away from noncombat skills. Non combat skills would be pushed to the side and those of us who enjoy them would feel amost abandoned. The only reason many players would have noncombat skills is for earning cash to fund their participation in these events. I also agree with the fact that account trading and hacking would become a major problem and jagex would need to step up their securities against such things.

 

 

 

To solve some of these problem you could create events that having high non combat skills such as thieving, smithing, crafting, etc... would improve your chances of winning. In these events you would make your own weapons and armor, and you could have obsticals that being able to climb would help greatly. Adding these twists to the events would make it much more relied on your skill and knowledge of runescape rather than simply your combat stats. They could also add requirements such as completing all quests and completing new challenges that require actual skill (like the fight caves) not fast clicking mastery. This way people who enter the events would have quite a bit of experience playing runescape doing things that bots couldn't do. Of couse this still would require jagex to make rs close to 100% secure.

Thanks man for your comments...and all very true. :)

im not going to read the whole thing to see if anyone has already said this(i g2g soon) but i think its a great idea but there should be seperate divisions. like a lvl 3 through 10 tourney, 11-20,21-30, etc.
