those aren't how rs makes you educational, those are common sense.

 

 

 

if you didnt know those things then you were and still are stupid :wall:

Is Runescape educational?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Absolutely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated in the fact that some people will always call other people names.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated in how not to be taken advantage of (i.e. recognize Scammers)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated in bartering - which does come in handy inthe real world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated in laws - you cheat and get caught - Jagex will meet out punishment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated at not taking everything at face value - This is more for those that do the quests - without help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You are educated that to get high levels - you have to work at it. You can not buy your way to high levels. Even if you buy the supplies - you still have to do the work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this education that you can apply to 'book learning' in school? Maybe not. But it is educational.

Well said. I completely agree with you.

Well... it does have a little value for example my family was playing trivial Pursuit and I was the only one knowing that bronze was copper and tin smelted together!

I must say, Runescape has provided a way for me to learn to deal with frustration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pyramid Plunder is great XP, but is frustrating beyond belief. Since I've been doing daily runs, I've learned to control the frustration a bit. This really has spilled over to the rest of my life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's not "education" in the normal sense, but still something I've learned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes RS has made me ultra patient and have an extremely slow temper. U cant annoy me. ONe thing it hasn't taught me is how to deal withn losing, cos i just don't lose, i dont get much practice. Cant stand losing, nor travelling when i can tele :P

Joey you copied my avatar lol.Anyways i think Runescape is sometimes educational.Like the combinations of ores to create furnaces.
