We should only need to set up one account

[ikraz66]

Out of all the major parts of this game the one that really bugs me is that people need to make pures to be successful in the wilderness. The issue is that you need lots of money and time to train these other accounts, and any interaction with your other accounts is forbidden under punishent of banning. Most people choose not to train skills on these accounts, and to be merchants instead. this is fine, but since most people care less about their secondary accounts, they are more likely to scam, cheat, use autoers, or break other rules. This is a constant bother to me in banks across the "free" world. I do not pk, and i wont until there is a solution added.

 

 

 

Here are some of my solutions:

 

 

 

1) include a way to lower your combat level in the wildy. for instance, a potion that lowers your combat stats can also lower your combat lvl temporarily. perhaps, you can lower your combat before entering the wilderness, and it stays down until you leave.

 

pros: easy, doesnt require pure accounts so you can pk with your main

 

cons: perhaps too easy, stat lowering pots can be expensive, people can take advantage of it for scamming or other evil purposes

 

 

 

2) allow trading/ drop trading between accounts

 

pros: doesnt require jagex to do much, people try this already, allows accounts to share wealth

 

cons: we would see a rise in mule accounts (accounts used only for extra bank space), people can save their items if one account gets banned, would most likely encourage autoing

 

 

 

3)this is the one that I REALLY wanted to discuss! Jagex could make it so you only get one account, but can add a limited amount of playable characters to that account. Only 1 can be used at the same time, but they all share 1 bank account. Therefore, you can train combat pures and skill pures until your fingers bleed, :twisted: and dont need to worry about setting up new accounts and drop-trading between them. Of course jagex makes much of their money from people who buy members for more than 1 account. My solution to this is that you pay the normal price for your first char. to become a member, and then you pay a reduced price for each additional member character. Jagex could actually get more money 8-) this way since more people would get multiple member chars.

 

pros:no more need for several accounts, easiest for players, jagex can ban someone's account, then ALL of their chars. go away, most likely a HUGE reduction of scams and rule-breaking, jagex makes more money

 

cons: could have a major impact on the runescape economy, fewer merchants, requires a complete reworking of the game mechanics for jagex, and would render hundreds of "pure" accounts useless

 

 

 

thank you for taking the time to read this and feel free to add anything you like,(i may edit it in) Please no flaming. Constructive criticism only. :D

Okay, let's start off with where your position on this is. I personally feel that if you even need to have a side account, you aren't playing the game right. So, that's my position. I feel you don't like side accounts because they are breeding infestations for deadly scams and misgivings. One thing I'd like to say to you is to state your opinion early and obvious. You change in my views.

 

 

 

Now that that is out of the way, I can start discussing your suggestions. I think all of them are decent, number 3 being the best. Number 1 is slightly hard to do/not the best thing in this bundle of ideas. If you lower your combat, you can run through the wilderness and screw up the balance of who attacks who. Also, a problem with Number 1 is that in the middle of combat, someone can lower their level in level 1-3 wilderness, and not die in combat. There's two problems. And I'm sure that scammers will find 101 New Ways to Scam.

 

 

 

Number 2, being the least important (if even really a suggestion, considering it already happens), I have to say I don't know why it is put there. Nothing against you, but why? People already do that.

 

 

 

Number 3, being the smartest and most reasonable one here, won't work. The first thing is that I don't think Jagex will want to do all of that work. The third is, once someone reaches their limit of sides, they create more mules. Only the loyal players won't use this wrongfully. Another problem is that Runescape was meant for you to only have 1 account - that's why you get limited bankspace on RS until you get Members, in which the point is to keep people from creating too many mules to store stuff. If they made it easy to trade from account to account, we'd be in serious economical craziness.

 

 

 

I hope that was constructive enough. I think that pures are fun, but don't abuse them. Scammers can use anything to their advantage, even these. Don't let scammers add anything to their 101 New Ways to Scam.

 

 

 

It's always good to see people contributing to Runescape, so keep it up.

some people actually make noob accounts for no reason other than to bother people for fun. These people wouldnt do this if it could cause all their accounts to get banned. see http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=309853

[WrathMonkey]

Well, yes, you're correct there. There are people who do actually create side accounts (please refrain from callling them 'noobs') just to annoy people. Although, there are two things I have as a rebuttal:

 

 

 

1. The first is that if you plan all on one IP address to be banned, then family members and friends using it will be banned as well.

 

 

 

2. The second is that if you plan for people to add these side accounts to their mains and then get banned all together, no one will add side accounts so that they don't get banned.

 

 

 

If I'm wrong, there, then please inform me.
