Why are *some* people so against hunter? e.g. 1 Hunter FTW!!!1!!1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's not a money sink ( construction), it's not hard to train (farming) and it's not a useless skill. It benefits many other skills, such as agility, range, and rc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only reason I can think of that would make people not like it is that it won't get you " some uber awsome money making item."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It lets you shoot live flamthrowers, get an imp to do your bidding, create new clothes, fish a new type of fish with stripy feathers, and even lets you throw exploding rodents at people.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's wrong with this skill, because I can't find any major flaws.

Theres SOME people against everything in rs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the anti-pkers

 

 

 

the anti-skillers

 

 

 

the anti-constructions

 

 

 

the anti-merchers

 

 

 

the anti-mages

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

etc etc etc etc etc etc

It involves a lot of clicking for mediocre xp (at the early levels) and the reward is a lot less apealing than for example the reward you get from a lot of mining.

hmm well im a anti-pker anti-mercher but im not a anti mage lol or construction i do like skills but pking is so boring and merching is a little to easy way for people to earn money.

who said everything in rs should be easy?

 

 

 

in the future if people keep complaining about things being too hard, then all you have to do is click the login button and your rs character will do all the work for you, so everyone can be happy.

I think people think that it makes it too easy to have a high total level, so they think their (insert total here) level is more impressive because they haven't done hunter.

It still takes alot of work to get a good total level. It's not like it's no big deal to reach 1900+ total because of a new skill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hunter doesn't give out 130k xp per hour. That makes leveling a little more challenging. A challenge is something that most people avoid in this game, and Jagex has only made things easier now with pc, gilded altars, and pyramid plunder. All we're missing is a uber-easy way to train agility and herblore.

you forgot easier ways to train mining, slayer, and rcing :P

It's pretty boring/annoying and the rewards aren't that great. 60 hunter ftw :P

Boring? Maybe. Annoying? Not so much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the rewards are great, such as the chinchompas. Others stink, like the barb tailed harpoon ( meh, I like it, but it's one of the weaker rewards)

I think some people are disappointed in it because it doesn't integrate very well with any other skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It helps with range (chinchompas) and thieving (gloves of silence), and that's about it. The capes are kind of nice, but not really a big effect on any other skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People were hoping for a new skill which would change the face of a lot of other skills. But most people consider Hunter a "stand-alone" skill, and thus, for those people, it isn't worth it.

Each people have their own opinions. Not everyone thinks "money-sinkers" (construction) are bad. I happen to like them *cough*99 construction*cough* :-w I really just don't find the skill enjoyable, that's my personal opinion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And actually, I find farming to be the absolute easiest skill to train, lol :P Free seeds from your Kingdom, spend an hour planting them each day and you basically get free xp. Plus it doesn't take up the entire day :P

I thought that the capes were used for rcing and agility :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The salamanders work well for barrows, black does anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The crossbow is a cheaper one than rune, as well as better. Second to only karils xbow, it's a good weapon, yet kinda hard to get ammo for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the skills hunter impacts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agility

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Runecrafting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Range

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thieving

:oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people are against it because they believe it is a "noob skill" because it attracted all the noobs and noobs do it. But that is not me, I just don't want to do Hunter.

I didn't say I didn't like construction, it's one of my favourite skills, yet I absolutely hate the money sink part of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You might get free xp from the seeds you get, but what if you tried to raise farming to 99? That'd be brutal.

i don't get it either. I personally love the skill but don't have much time to raise it anymore

It's just another thing to complain about. :|

i dont see a point to the skill, all the rewards are either pointless, or needed in the millions to be usesful

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and its not kuz its hard to train or borening, i've done it all really, but i hunting is just annonying to me, why its still only skill under 70

Boring as hell, and I don't need the "rewards" gained from it. I'm still lvl 13 hunting. Only thing it is good for is the skill total (well for me anyway).

I really love it, it keeps me away from people, and its usually quiet so...

 

 

 

I dont mind not making money, never had more than 150k in my life

Because they think they are cool to have it at lvl 1. Just like when farming came out, like tonz of ppl had "Lvl 1 Farming ftw" and "anti-farmer"
