tefda Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 We all have seen them. Occasionally whilst cutting trees, whilst mining ore in the mining guild, whilst fishing in Karamja. They are the ones who are saying "My main has lvl 90 woodcut" when people ask for their current levels. Does anyone out there do this? More importantly is it true? Is there a large number of players who go off onto lower leveled characters and level up there and seemingly brag about having a character who has a high level in a skill? I don't want to insult you by calling it bragging, but it's close to what I'm trying to express. Really I'm just trying to determine whether or not people are compelled to tell others about their higher leveled characters or do you stand by silently and let others take the "glory" of being the highest leveled (in a certain skill) character.

Eyrelex Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Personally i find ppl who talk about mains are usually jus BSing, except for the rare occasion that they are able to back it up by actually logging on as it.

But would you go out of your way to log out of your current character and then log back in on your main character? It makes sense that someone would refuse to "prove" it by logging onto that character just to prove your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokap Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 When you do show them your main they would either be silence or try and find an excuse to insult you or they would try and become your freind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giordano Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Lol, good one ^^ :D Once I was mining in the guild and this guy asks mining lvls. I tell him 68 and he says his main has 85. I tell him to bring his main here so he logged out and never returned. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

It's not like the opinion of one random person across the world even matters to you in your day to day life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GulfKid Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 If it's true, people have a right to brag about their achievements. :) If it's fictional, don't even bother. Either way, they won't believe you, so just deal with the character you're currently playing having not-as-good stats as your "main". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke_Freedom Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 My main is Duke Freedom! ... Oh wait.. That's true. :oops: Uh no, in many cases, people who claim to have a level xyz main don't have a level xyz main. The value of my bank at its height.

spooferfish Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I do that rarely. But I usually just say the level of the character i'm on. I only start telling them spoofers levels if they start bragging and showing off :P But i never tell them i have a level that i dont actually have.

Mullein Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The funniest situatiuon was when I was on my noobling training and someone claimed thier main was me (Mullein) I didn't say anything I just logged out and brought Mullein on... All I said was...I am here to tell you that you are not me...I am the only me there is. LOL Got a good laugh from those in the area... Needless to say the boaster left in a hurry. :D :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question on topic: Is this problem equally found on f2p and p2p, or is more on one side than the other? I have to admit, I haven't seen this a lot myself. Lucky me, I guess. Whoopee.

I've started a relatively new account; my "main" got banned. And so my stats are pretty...poor in comparison. So yeah, when people ask, and I say, for example "18 herblore" (lowest :P), they get an unfair representation of how long I've played, et cetra.

Uula Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 If i play on my lv 3 noob and someone asks my wc level, i usually say "65, but 99 on main." I usually have Uular located at the place I'm cutting at, so if they don't believe me, i just log out and on again, on Uular. Simple :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tefda Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Question on topic: Is this problem equally found on f2p and p2p, or is more on one side than the other? I have to admit, I haven't seen this a lot myself. Lucky me, I guess. Whoopee. I've been playing F2P for now and this is where all my information coming from. But logicing it out I would say it must be mostly on F2P because when you've got a P2P character it generally is your "Main" so you wouldn't need to brag about your current characters stats (although many people do). But please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I also wonder if you (previously "we") P2Per's get the occasional braggart or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that someone would refuse to "prove" it by logging onto that character just to prove your point. when I play on my noob on f2p killing cows or something, I will talk about my main sometimes (when having conversations with real new players or something) I will log out and log in on my main and show them, I usually also give them a present (if they have been kind) while on my main. edit: lmao @ Mully!
