Randomnameless Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 The highscores drive me. Maybe that's sad, but it's true. At first it was a goal to have all stats ranked. Then I wanted to be top 500.000, next top 200.000 etc etc. I like the thought of there being only xxxx people who are better in the skill/total then I am :D. However, a rank 1 is not something I strive for. I'm not that crazy... exactly same thing i am doing. Just got my combat on high scores and now raising them more to get them to 500,000. To be better than others is what most people only care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 highscores it what helps you see what you need to train to make yourself a better player. like right now i am a noob but at slower levels you can rate on exp not just levels. a fresh level 88 woodcut is different then a 88 almost 89 woodcut.

Kenshinjapan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I think they should give you an option to not appear in the highscores. Maybe just replace your name with "hidden" for a placeholder. That would be really cool if you got all your stats to 98 and like 1xp from lvling. Then you level all of them one day and your names "hidden" OWNAGE But on topic, I like highscores because I'm a sore loser and I like being #1 at my school. YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE!

adam12343210 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've been thinking about this to, I've been worried about my lower level skills dropping down to the 100.000 rank. My mining is the lowest ranked, I want to get it up, but mining is soooo boring. :wall: There would be less stress to train my skills for me, which will give me a more relaxed playing expierence. I know what some of you might say "Don't check the highscores then", but I always have a feeling to always check how "badly" I'm doing. :? that's exactly what i'm talking about. :idea: chat is ON...hyt me!^dragonwizerd was the frist one to listen to my sig^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcyte Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 the highscores doesn't motivate me, getting a 99 does...i don't really care all that much if 5000 people have this lvl, and i want it 2...i just want it. Without the highscores, yes it would deter a lot more people. But it's nice to be recognized. Click for mah Blog!- I'm not sure why you would though because i never update it Achieved 99 Thieving 3/10/07-992nd to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what some of you might say "Don't check the highscores then", but I always have a feeling to always check how "badly" I'm doing. :? I concur: As you can see, my stats SUCK (no offense to anyone, but in comparison to my level...). If the skill's in a blue rectangle it didn't even make it into the top 50,000. If it didn't even make top 100k it got a pretty pink rectangle. Ya. Nontheless, I still believe that the hiscores are a good idea to keep around. They do in fact drive people to get good levels and gain fame, and hopefully people who don't like a skill will realize it's just a number, and know for themselves that they don't need to level that skill if they don't want to (i.e., me). (whoops, missed fletching. Just put an imaginary blue box there :wink: .)

Eyrelex Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Highscores are good for Jagex, if it wasn't for the highscores they'd be missing out on alot of income from the top players (not sure if the name naming applies to this situation so i'll stay on the safe side) who continue to play to maintain and increase in the ranks and probably would have long since quit if there were no high scores through which to display their accomplishments.

Nidra Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The Highscores is definitely the drive to play for a lot of people (including me). It keeps you going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximiliank Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I like the idea of highscores... It shows all your levels and xp all on one easy to read page and shows how far you are compared to the rest of the RS community. It can compare yourself with your friends, so you can have mini competitions with them. It also can help you by giving random people's stats, so you don't get barraged by a pure while staking (they normally lose anyway).. What's so bad about highscores ??

Abyssalwhip Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 no i want highscores because i stake alot and i like to check stats before duels to make sure they're not going to cheat me in some way and im proud of alot of my stats (except magic, fletching, ranged and runecraft :-w ) Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 that would totally take away the point of runescape. The point of Runescape is to make a number go up through repetitive mind-numbing tasks? Uh... wait, now that I look at the again it ironically looks correct :shock: -.- .
