Level = Maturity? Level = Age?

[Lionheart_0]

guys.. i cant stress this enough.. just read the post...

 

do you know what REMAIN means? for the people that posted how do u think we start out? remain means to stay...

 

you guys have eyes. you assume by the title that my post repeats the same thing over and over; it doesnt, you cant just see HALO on a shelf and say: oh right that game sucks now can you? just read the post, and youll get my point..

 

this is excluding exceptions.

 

 

 

And your also assumin everyone started like this to. I never did. You may think not (and from those on the OT probably think definitly) but i never begged or was immature on the game.

 

 

 

i am not assuming anything. im making an educated guess on what the problem is. this is an open forum, dont tell me what im saying, i know what i said well enough.

 

it looks like lionheart has yet to learn not to judge a book by its cover.

 

lionheart: if you actually READ the post, you would find out im not discriminating, merely creating discussion on the topic. if you knew the other obvious point for a questionmark (it eliminates a statment) you wouldnt have posted something so ignorant, next time, use the eyes you have and READ the POST.

 

Most of your post was an example, but one line was all it took for you to be a hypicrit:

 

I've noticed that ingame and in posts, it's the lower levels that tend to act more immature.

 

I know it doesn't apply to the whole of lower levels, but im talking about the general whole,

 

 

 

Therfor stating that you are generalizing, and there for are descriminating, and being pregiduce against a group.

[Y2g2003]

Connecting maturity to anything is just wrong, unless it is based on that individuals own actions. There were, and probably still are, a great amount of high levels that act immature.

 

 

 

I've been proven wrong a many of times (in game and on these forums) when calling someone a kid, their rebuttal is usually a comment that while it makes them look even more foolish... proves me wrong.

 

 

 

And yeah, maybe 8 or 9 year olds aren't as independent as others, but at least you can get through to them to a certain degree (depending on their up bringing of course). Where with teenagers... there is absolutely no getting through to some of them.

 

 

 

I'd say the teenagers are the most immature. And then even some of the adults that are in their 20's are as well.

 

 

 

EDIT: Sorry for any mistakes, I think I got most of the grammar and spelling fixed. My vision is slightly impaired at the moment.

hmm.. looks like i didnt proofread my post. i meant a part of the whole (part of the general whole), a fraction, not like ALL the people.

 

 

 

but you shouldnt be a hypocrite either; you generalized me, said something very radical and unnecesary, and compared me to sexists and the like. i am not discriminating against them, and i never said i did. i do not mind little kids at all, and never stated in my post that i did. i acutally voulenteer in my library, and help them. just remind me where in that whole post i stated i did not like children?

[sheepdean]

started playing at 14, now older and the only thing i ever have begged for is a fire to cook, or for someone to shut doors when i am theiving/killing al-kharid warrios/chickens/running from a random

[moopymitchell182]

I can't say I fully agree with this... I have seen many lvl 110+ players talk like these lvl 3's and 4's (EX: omg u such a noob omg my lvl i own you omg lol lol rofl at u noob!1111). I do think age does have something to do with level though, because younger kids tend to get bored of things much easier than older folks.

 

 

 

Though younger kids can be much more determined... I have met two or three "clans" of lvl 90's that have tried to pk me while I walk to the green dragons. In these clans, there are 2-5 people, all the same lvl, that all attack me at once yelling "rofl owned!111" and "hahahaaaaa u so owned nob" when they first attack me. But I never die. Ever. I chug a super defence pot, and throw on that +15% to defence prayer and watch as the flaming begins. Every time I run out of food, I teleport and come back. There they are, once again, waiting to attack me. This is how I can tell they are some of the younger players.

 

 

 

I do think that how people act is a better way to tell their age than by their combat lvl.

 

 

 

And I think that's the longest post I ever typed on these forums! :o

[Saru Inc]

I'm 15 and I started playing when I was like 11 or 12....

 

 

 

Acutually you would be amazed by how many high lvl imature people there are...

[runnybabbit]

lvl=obsession :roll:

[henk333]

lvl=obsession :roll:

 

 

 

That's not entirely true. If you would have two level 100cb 1500 total accounts, one started 4 years ago the other only a year and a half ago, I know which of those has a more obsessed owner :o

 

 

 

This thread is very generalizing, do you ask all people that beg you for free stuff their age? You assume that their age is low, but you can't tell by looking at their account.

 

The only thing you know for certain is that their maturity is low and we all have moments like that. Heck I sometimes gather a group of friends to go into the wilderniss wearing pink (or light-ish red) skirts and wielding rubber chickens. It's a whole lot of fun, but you can't claim I'm being very mature at that moment :P

[gonpost]

The reason you guys won't agree is because you're making gross generalizations and trying to make them true for all people. Aka, you're being black and white.

 

 

 

Most high levels tend to be *more* mature, and older as well. However, this is not always the case.

 

 

 

Most lower levels tend to be younger, and thus tend to beg more and act more "nooby".

 

 

 

Notice I used the word MOST.

 

 

 

Now, that being said, there are some very intelligent low levels that I've come across. You cannot make any generalization, so it's always been my policy to treat everyone in the game equally...although if I see a guy in full dragon I will treat him as if he's slightly more intelligent about the game than other players, for obvious reasons.

[QueenValerie]

I have to say I have yet to meet a level 120 and over that is say 9 to 12 yrs old. Most high level people I meet are in there 20's to 40's. Not saying there is no young high level players out there, just I have not met one yet. WOuld be interesting to take a poll at age and levels , not sure if that is allowed here, but would be interesting to see what the poll turns out to be :)

[Risen_The]

I was 10 when I played rs, it was my first time playing any internet game, found this great friend the first day, and I assure you I never begged for anything.

 

 

 

Except when I was lost in varrock( :oops: ) this guy comes up to me and saids "Want free rune?" or something, I follow him, he goes up to lvl 35 wildy. "Ok now, attack me, you have to do that to make the armour appear" and you know the rest. :lol: I begged for my stuff back, but I believe that's a different case.

 

 

 

Anyhow I became immature when I started to get into rs(13, when I came back), I called people "noob", the word I despise now, I teased some lower lvls with my friends. That was fun for a while, but I realized I was being a "noob" myself.

 

 

 

Yea so... I still think I'm immature in some ways, but not in the same way as I used to be. :oops:

[timeoutsmad]

I started this game in 2001, 5 years ago.

 

I am 13 now meaning i was 8 when i started. Not once do i remember begging.

 

I do agree with the part that lower levels are mostly younger people and they are usually less mature than many of the higher lvls.

 

I met a person at my school who is in seventh grade. He constantly begs me to help him with something.. Like lately he wants me to kill fire giants with him to get a d med. Every once in a while i ask him what he is doing, and of course he is off playing around and of course asks me if i can give him something. I tell him to go mine, fish, run laws, etc etc but he declines. What maddens me even more, is that his friend gave him the character...

[Blade8422]

I think people can be immature no matter what level they are.

 

Most of the begging, immature low-leveled ones act as if they are a younger age, where as the higher level, quieter more independant players act older....

 

 

 

I think that the low leveled players that stay lower levels are younger and do not have the attention span to train more, and earn their own money, etc...

 

 

 

The higher level players do have the attention span and can set themselves on a goal and see it through. Most of them are older, as you can tell when you are good friends with them.

 

 

 

My first and best friend in the game is about 40, and has a job, yet he still manages to play and gain levels....

 

My 12 year old brother on the other hand goes through about 3 accounts a month, giving up, or "getting bored".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's my oppinion.

 

:)

[ikzelf100]

Low lvl players can't be that young anymore these days since you now have to be over age 13 to make an account ( however i think many people swing that rule against there bum )

 

 

 

if your parents agre ethat you play runescape the rule isnt important

[KingofLodis]

Age=maturity,LEVEL DOES NOT MATTER.

 

 

 

true in a way but im only 12 and i fit in with almost all of the other high and semi high lvl lplayes because some ppl can be young and mature

 

 

 

I ve talked to you in the game before you probally dont rember but i should of seemed just as a normal person just discusing rs while u were waiting to pk ppl at the mage lever

 

 

 

 

 

Hehe,But remember i said Cmb lvl doesnt matter,Immediately u reffer you fit in with people higher lvls than you.. It doesnt matter as long as your mature,MAYBE your brought up differently to other people your age and are matare for your age,Some people wont be like that tho.

 

 

 

i bring up the high lvl issue because how many imature 7 year olds have u seen who are lvl 100+?

 

 

 

I agree with the first post . . . Mostly . . .

 

 

 

And Angels, nice one ;)

[elaine_1358]

i think that one of the reasons that the high lvls are older is that most 8-10 year olds would have their parents monitering when they go on therefore they cant go on as much.

 

 

 

ive also noticed with my 9 year old brother and his friends that they go from thing to thing depending on whats "cool". this happend with runsecape. they played for a few months then moved on, thus none of them were very high lvls.

 

 

 

but still, who says older ppl have to be more mature? i have a friend that skipped 2 grades and seems a lot older than ppl her age, but i also know 15 year olds that act like babies and go around teasing ppl, especially on the internet.

[magemachine6]

belevie it or not i started playing when i was 8 or 9 back in classic now im 13 yrs i never begged once either

 

 

 

but back then i only played for like 20 minutes a day. Now i play longer i am level 95 now.

[sabrerokz]

Remember, while reading this, that age usually comes with some form of maturity, and that mature younger people are uncommon because of their lifestyle.

 

I've noticed that ingame and in posts, it's the lower levels that tend to act more immature.

 

I know it doesn't apply to the whole of lower levels, but im talking about part of the general whole, a fraction, especially the ones that remain a low level.

 

For example: you may ask yourslef why lower levels begged when you never begged at that level? I think the answer to that is beggars may be a young age, like 8 or 9, when a person relies on there mother and father to take care of them and do everything for them. It is human nature, at that age, to have your parents tend to you more, and I would expect that behaivor to carry over into runescape.

 

So, they are reluctant to work, and they beg.

 

So, they tend to stay a low level because they dont want to level up and work themselves.

 

However, your less likely to see a higher level beg, because they have worked for their level, and are more mature and usually older, as you would be more willing to work at an older age, than lower levels. This is because age usually comes with some form of maturity.

 

As you progress through the game, you also progress in life, because runescape is one of the few games that actualy takes time.

 

I conclude that the higher levels are, for the most part (and always will be) more mature AND older, because they are more willing to work, and are maturing.

 

While the low levels that stay at a low level tend to be a younger age, and people who are younger tend to be less mature. So the low levels stay low because the mindset of a younger person with a lower maturity level is usually "I'll let them do it for me."

actually i have found its the higher lvls that are more immature as they get cocky about their lvls etc. and think they are superior (they get these lvls as they have nothing else to do in the summer)

 

 

 

just my two cents tho

[metsfan]

you cant say all younger kids beg and wont work. i happen to be 12 and a proud lvl 88 with a whip

Do you know why that we sometimes act "cocky"? Because we cannot go anywhere without some low level begging us for something or calling us a noob for not giving phr33 st00f...Even on members.

if your parents agre ethat you play runescape the rule isnt important

 

Most parents don't even know that there children play Runescape.

[X_Mas_Babie]

I am in University, and my parents know I play runescape *^_^*

[Sy_Accursed]

I think this is highly untrue

 

 

 

First things first:

 

Age does not normally come with some kind of maturity

 

 

 

Just look at things such as the binge drinking and partying lifestyle

 

 

 

Many of them would be deemed imature, while many younger people are far more mature.

 

 

 

For example tht is more relative. As a 16 yr old in yr 11 (uk skool) I have found that there is around 50% of my year group who can be considered mature and 50% who can be cosndiering immature

 

 

 

While (god knows how but i end talking to alot of little kids)

 

 

 

Of the little kids on my bus (yrs 7, 8 & 9) around 50% are immature while 50% are mature

 

The only extra the odler kids have is wisdom some actions that the smaller ones do whihc are 'imamture' are them learning. I am sure you will ahve done something once or twice when young and learnt from it

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly the level thing once again i find this rubbish

 

 

 

In the fishing guild I see people varying from lvl 3 to lvl 126 buying selling cooking and cathing fish

 

Many of the lwoer lvls are mature and many of the higher levels are immature.

 

 

 

It is impossible really to fix a corelation upon lvl- mature as lvl does not denote anything within realife

 

 

 

and considering msot rs players are teens or children there maturity basis doesn't fully work

 

 

 

Maturity to age link only works effectivly when you include a large poprtion of older adults, as generally all adults will have grown into mature ways by then

[jaoxim]

Maturity sometimes is realted to level but it mainly relates to the persons upbringing, therefore young people can be mature, older people can be immature

[Freshwacka]

To all the 12 and below year olds:
