It should have been done long ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you powermined there it isnt fair against all the people who got 99 mining elsewhere, TAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But all the people who got 99 mining through this method are just the exception then, huh? There the lucky ones?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they should do something in the bandit cam too, yes. But maybe with less damage or so.

I think when you're in a city, you don't get damaged by the desert heat. Maybe? :s

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways... dumb JaGEx! I never got around to powermining there, and now I can't. *crycry*

I really can not fathom how it takes them this long to call something a mistake then fix it. I like many others assumed that the granite mine was deliberately made to be exempt from the desert heat since there are other places where this is true. There was no purpose to the mine after the quest other than power leveling or they should not have made it a fairly consistent one hit rock with the good xp it gives for a quest based item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The main thing here is the time between release and fixing it. This is the same reason that the change to Verac hitting through prayer annoyed me. It's not because I ever barrow but because you should fix "obvious bugs" sooner than 9+ months later and especially when the "fix" makes sense such as the desert heat being everywhere.

Back to 30k an hour for mining? Hmm. I don't think it was necessary, mining was still a very hard skill. If Jagex does this, they should also halve the xp for both Pyramid Plunder and Pest Control. I have no idea why they did this, why remove a moderately good method of leveling a skill and keep the 200k/ hour methods for other *hard* skills?

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.

Lol, good point. Now thats exactly what annoys me about Runescape. They get rid of one advantage, yet, keep the 20 others? Its probably because 85+ mining = VERY GOOD MONEY, and they want us to get there painfully. lol

Things get easier (= pc) people rant...things get harder (read fixed) people rant...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why am i even bothering posting this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its not that we all are ranting about it getting harder, the fact remains it took them this long to change it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for why you do not need waterskins in the bandit camp my only thought on this is because you are in

 

 

 

tents/houses, but yet when you stand outside of the tents/house no waterskins is needed.

 

 

 

Makes no sense to me at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lol, that don't make sense.

 

 

 

Jagex: "We like theivers!"

 

 

 

Jagex: "We hate Miners!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree ~ If they are going to make changes at least have logic behind the changes.

 

 

 

I still think people will mine there me included but will also mine iron along with it.

To be honest, i'm not even going to mine anymore. I was thinking of it before, then 2 days ago i said i was going to do it at Granite Mines. Now thats dented my goal and now i just can't be bothered to go for it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As i'm bad at computer art, and probably the wrong forum, can someone make like a "Support Granite Mine No Waterskin" kind of sig. Try to make it understandable. Just a thought... lol.

I look back nothings...there...repeated above a few more times before i realeased what was happening...im not a happy camper about this hidden update no sir :shame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately i just took a pack load of waterskins out there and when they are used up im outta there...(never could stand that much mining in a row to start with)

The thing is that you are ranting because they took that advantage. Yeah its a shame i could take that chance to powerlevel mining too, but sure is logic...bandit camp is a "city" in the desert like all those cities, and even that mining camp from that quest, clearly you see why in the cities theres no need to waterskins.

 

 

 

Now dont come with excuses saying they should take out other advantages in the game or that they took too long to fix that just because they put an end in something you people used.

Yes, obviously we have our opinions. But now, F2P's best place to mine is now also P2P's best place to mine, making it more competition for powerminers. Meening more bad language, resulting in bans...

 

 

 

I know i'm exagurating here, but it oculd happen! :P

I was considering another short stint there myself (I find mining one of the most boring skills, so tend to use the desert site for a spot of power mining every now and then) - surely they could at least introduce an oasis or underground spring with a stand pipe, or a good few cactus so you can at least replenish the water you take without too much trouble?

Na, this is what Jagex call as, "Working for the skill"

 

 

 

It was enough bloody work mining, dropping, mining, dropping!

Just like QueenValerie said, as Jagex have not said about it, people may leave the comp, and end up dead, leaving there skiller outfit (Phats! :shock: ) there for the taking! Hmmm, Jagex should post a new udpate on main site, so people are more aware of it.

Golly gee, sense their breaking the rules by leaving the computer anyway they deserve it.

 

 

 

This is a great update, one less cheap power training method, Pest Control hopefully is next.

 

 

 

This may even get rid of some snobby skillers showing off their Party Hats in the middle of the desert!

Supermonk, proving you wrong since 1992.
