jjrox32 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meb Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 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. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Dragondan_Ro Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 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.

ugafan_2009 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 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. Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouse_ Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 It's pretty boring/annoying and the rewards aren't that great. 60 hunter ftw :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zandalf Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 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.

tripsis Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 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 - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbfgraphx14 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 :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. Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get free xp from the seeds you get, but what if you tried to raise farming to 99? That'd be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini193 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i don't get it either. I personally love the skill but don't have much time to raise it anymore Doing a little bit of everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilev Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXru1n3dXx Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Boring as hell, and I don't need the "rewards" gained from it. I'm still lvl 13 hunting.
