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. :)

 

 

 

its not ENTIRLY true... people who runecraft would get a big christmas bonus with all the mages trying to win that jack pot, and same with fishers, smithers, herbalists, fletchers, and crafters making leather for low lvl people..

Oh yeah I never really thought about it like that. Definitely the skills would hold the same priority in Runescape (if not higher) than what they are today.

 

 

 

Thanks for your comment. :) :wink:

It wouldn't work.

 

 

 

CS source tourney's DO rely on skill. Rs is more the TIME you put into skilling.

 

 

 

E.g

 

- Someone playing cs source for the first time could still kill a 'veteran'

 

 

 

- A level 3 will NEVER kill a lvl 126

It wouldn't work.

Very true...well what about the idea of prize money to the first person to reach lvl 99 in a skill which just came out? :?

> Ebay themselves know it's illegal

 

 

 

I do not think that trading accounts or money is illegal. It is against Jagex rules, yes, but Jagex is not the law.

Isnt that sort of like the fight pits?

 

 

 

Jagex would ruin it somehow...
