Pest Control

Featured Replies

We all know about this Pest Control. Many people say it ruined combat, while others love it. From those who enjoy it however we have a different complaint:

 

 

 

The combat lvl requirement is to low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People are constantly complaining about how the low lvls are always losing the game and taking the spots that could be used by higher lvls.

 

 

 

Jagex is bombarded with people saying this.

 

 

 

However did anyone ever think that that may be the exact reason that jagex made the requirement so low?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all know that a team of lvl 90+ would own the portals and win everygame. Even lvl 70s and 80s working together could win without much difficulty. The trouble comes from the low lvls and this is what jagex wanted. They die to easily and can barely do any damage to the portal.

 

 

 

PC is ridiculously fast in terms of training the low lvls who lose the game slow this down quite abit . PC clans can circumvent this by having so many high lvls on one world that they few low lvls who get in the boat wont cause problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SO what was the point of this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next time you want to complain about making the lvl requirement higher think how fast and easy pc games would be if the requirement was 80+. You would almost never lose. Jagex purposely made it low so the low lvls could hinder the higher lvls who wanted fast xp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thoughts?

[omg] who cares if its nerfed or fixed....

you people will argue over the color of a green apple if it was a topic on this fourm god.

personally i dislike pest control, not because its fast exp or whatever, thats ok. But i dislike it because it is THE ONLY place in the game where you can level a skill, without actually training it. But i think this pure invasion was bound to happen, and expected

Why is it that every other topic I see it's reported? Someone is abusing the report button :shame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On topic...I agree with what you are saying. Also, it gives players another chance to interact (forming pc clans).

I agree =D>

You can level up any skill at Tears of Guthix without actually training it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You could also argue that at Trouble Breweing you're not necessarily "training" all of the skills in which you get exp. You can play a game without lighting a single fire or crafting a single item, but you still get firemaking and crafting exp.

That's the one and only reason I love weak pures.

Quit RuneScape :)

I don't Jagex thought people would abuse it by just killing the Portals which is why the experience is so "high". Jagex have just failed to nerf it since people did start abusing it.

That's excactly my thought.

When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.

All skills 80+

Someone is a little paranoyed

Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....

Kiss me, i'm part Irish!

I agree. Doesn't make low levels less annoying though. -.-

to me pest control was made to help ppl get 126 combat easier but the lvl40 minimum combat to enter is probably to make pest control more fair. if pc was 80+ combat only then victory would be 99%.

i think you're giving jagex too much credit. i dont think they see how every piece of the geme will play out like this. i think they were just trying to give us another 'safe' mini game .

hence the update of treasure trails that require specific armors to stop the pures in their tracks

Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed! (give my guide a read :^_^: )

Having low levels or pures in the game really doesn't affect the outcome of the game. With so many 100+ players in the game forming pc clans, most games end in less than a minute and therefore most pures or low levels don't even reach the 50 pt zeal requirement per game.

Personally, I'd like to see the PC game broken up into levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you go in the boat at a certain level, you go to that levels game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

120+ would be much harder than the 70-80 game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

25 level 120's make this game insanely easy, and 25 level 60's is almost impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there should be an official PC world, like 104 for Trouble Brewing, 16 for PKing, 2 for Fally Park trading, etc.

A circus in Runescape?? Oh my.
