Macroing ruins games and it takes the point out of playing a game. I'm guessing you're a kid if you would actually want macroing in the game.

I agree with you, but what you have to understand is that the game's culture has changed drastically in the last few years. It's less and less about "earning enough money to get the things you want and then having fun doing whatever you like" and more and more about "getting the highest level and the most money so I can brag about it to anyone who will listen (and usually to those who won't)." Adding macroing is the logical next step for those who are willing to spend a solid year straight doing nothing but Prayer/Agility/Runecrafting or some other insanely grindy skill.

What really killed the game for me though is right around the time they added the Exchange, when they started adding item after item, each new one better than the one before it, and they set the price on each at 50 million or more. Jagex knows full well that people will do whatever it takes to be top player in Runescape, and so they go out of their way to make things more difficult and less fun, for no other reason than to drag out subscriptions. They are essentially a glorified Korean grinding MMO, without the item mall but with the same tactics. Adding in-game macros and bots would fall right within this pattern of behavior.

And, as for the 360, PS3, and Wii war.......Wii is outselling both by far, but Wii is for casual gamers...I don't like it......I have a 360, and it is awesome.....it gets WAY better games than PS3, but it is getting some of what used to be Playstation exclusives......

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why are do you say "HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At the end of your post? Does that make you somewhat of an 'higher' being then us? Smarter, perhaps? Furthermore, Why do you say i was being a crybaby about it? I was trying to prove a point, that WoW is the best MMORPG yet because WoW mixes the right amount of depth and simplicity better than any other game in the history of MMORPG'S. if you could, quote where i 'cried' in my post. Also you should have had some decent experience in each game to be putting your opinion forward. If you would like to know, i dont play WoW anymore. i quit, a long time ago. 

As far as the consoles go, They all have their ups and downs. Wii is a more of a family system and is selling better than the other's. Thus it is a more successful console. The 360 and the Ps3 are both great consoles. I myself am a Xbox owner, but the think the Ps3 is just as great.

What, are you 12 years old? 
 

First, the "HA!!!!!!!" was me being an ass about the console war...nothing to do with you, so stay off it

Second, I did not give my opinion on WoW or Runescape, did you even read my post?  I havent played them, don't plan on playing them, but do not have a problem with them.

And. as for you being a crybaby...go back and read post #9...you'll see what I mean.

I see you did not quote where i 'cried' in my post.  And, for your informations, i just turned fourteen.  Now, i know you'll point that out and laught at me, but i bet your alot older. If you are, why dont you get a god damn life and get off these pointless games that you spend so much of your pathetic life playing?

Furthermore, when you said explained why you said "HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and said it didnt have to do anything about me...Then why the fuck are you quoting my posts in the first time? They had nothing at all to do with you.  You are a god damn hypocritical fool, and you really need to grow up and get a life if you think it's pathetic that i'm so young. Is it that hard? Get off these stupid games if you think so little of them or the people speaking about them.

What you say makes you sound like one of the fools that play Runescape. Always ripping each other off and trying to be the best on a game that Isnt worth the time and money they pay to play it.

 Wow is a good game, and hopefully it stays that way. With all these expansion packs nothing can be better to satisfy your free time. The price is a little too demanding for now ,so Ill be playing Guildwars for now.

This is true. All of this really is evident when you look at the diffrent fansites...and even forums pertaining to runescape. Jagex actually thought that PVP worlds would balance the game which would re-incarnate the supply and demand that once was active in original pking. But but...I just killed a guy in full mith and I get a addy medium in return? The imbalances and restrictions in runescape are GOOD for short term uses...maybe for a month. But jagex thinks that putting restriction all the time would yield good results in the long term? You decide about that one. Jagex also  thinks their are invulnerable and immune to economic depression. Do you think that is possible?

My question for Jagex and MG or anyone: Then why make mechscape? Didnt you say runescape was a game for 18+?

 Oh yeah and he says he's 14?

So do you make new accounts everytime you get embarassed by your pitiful posting? Why believe you anyway? You're obviously a liar and a WoW fanboy. Plus what you used for WoW fishing as an example as having more skill than Runescape is completely stupid. What you described was a unnecessary, simple MINI-GAME. Last I heard mini-games didnt actually consist of having to be "skillful" to do them especially when its just right clicking when you see the bobber. That's not skill thats just busy work.

I would gladly read the rest of the wall of text and tear it down piece by piece, but you already bored me before with your childish comebacks when I tore you apart so why even repeat it? I'm sure someone else will come in and correct you though.

You damn fool, my name is kyle but my last name is not Everett. I am not 42, i am 14. If you look, i put fake info in my account. My birthday on my account says June 6th, 1966. I did this so creeps like you wouldnt get my information. Furthermore, this is my first and only account here because its the first time i've came here. And lastly, tell me something you would like compared between the two games. As far as the fishing goes, i used it because in both games you fish then cook the fish then eat them to restore health. In runescape you can eat 28 god damn sharks in one fight if you have to, while in WoW you can't even eat in combat.

Oh, and i dont even play WoW.

 This sites rating system :

Runescape = 6.52

World of Warcraft = 7.90

That's a big differance on a 10 point scale.

oh and Bonemare, when did i ever say anything about you or when did you "tore me apart"? i was mainly reffering to Rozenblade1... you never even posted after i joined this thread besides now... How the hell did you "tore me apart"? and thus, how would you be repeating it?

You see why I said you are crying now?  Read your post kid, you get too damn worked up over these games man.  Calm down.

it seems to me you are the only one getting mad, I just stated my opinion about you crying about people dishing on WoW.....Frankly, your age doesn't even matter, neither does mine, you just shouldn't let people on these posts get to you so much.

You basically attacked me in the post I quoted, but I don't give a shit...I laughed when I read it.  That's one thing that I can count on, people getting so worked up on these forums.  I am not attacking you, I may have insulted you, but that is just because you take this shit too seriously.

I'll admit, I am a lot older than you, so I will no longer respond to your posts.  I'm 23 years old, I do play MMOs (obviously) but I can care less if someone trashes my favorite game (LotRO).  They are just games kid, so please don't get too worked up over them, it's not worth it.

Now you'll probably come back at me, swearing and calling me "names" and what not, but you shouldn't.  For your own good, don't worry about what people say to you, fuck them.  You've gotta have a nihilistic attitude man, seriously.

Don't get overly wrapped up in these games or these forums okay.

It's not that, it just that people on these forums are soooo blind and bias. Read my post above your last one when i spoke about Bonemare...he said: "you already bored me before with your childish comebacks when I tore you apart so why even repeat it" when he has'nt even posted after i joined the thread. Honestly, how am i being childish if he is making up events that have not occured? why doesnt he see that? he says he has already "Tore me apart" when he never spoke in the first place. Furthermore, he did not read my whole post or he would understand where i was going, and it so god damn creepy that he tried to look for my information, im so glad i faked it all...

Let's get back to topic guys. Check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJEyeBvgw5s&eurl=http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Runescape

where a kid fights with his mom about playing runescape. Hah.

Lol nice...did they get that in vent? Did he have his push to talk key held down or something?

That mother should've cut the VGA link while the kid was at school. Or of it was a laptop, set a password on BIOS>\

Haha kid its so unbelievable how dumb you are. Not only do you consistently spell my name wrong when its right in front of your face, but you think I actually looked you up? Haha you're hilarious. Hilariously naive that is. I can't even type anymore I'm laughing so hard :)

Stay in school kid. You sure need it.

  Lol. " Not only do you consistently spell my name wrong when its right infront of your face..."  Fool. it was not infront of my face when i typed that because i did not quote you.  Furthermore, you did look at my information on this site and copied it.

Proof is in your earlier post.

I came to mmorpg to read some posts about RS and saw this one and thought I would add my 2p's worth about everything that has been said.

First Im a causal gamer, I have always been a casual gamer.

I have been playing WoW for over 3 years on and off, and I can say categorically that there is nothing difficult of skillful about playing WoW, in the 3 years I have played I have only ever had one top level char pre-tbc and pre-wotlk and in the 2 weeks after wotlk came out I was once again bored of it, I tried to play again just after christmas and im now bored of it again, it is as the masses say a complete grind fest there is no skill involved in crafting as all you have to do is collect mats and thats it. In those 3 years, between the times I have got bored of WoW I have tried pretty much everyother P2P MMO but I always end up going back to WoW as its easy to play and as im the sort of person who doesnt really like to try when it comes to games it feels like a cozy sweater all snug and warm, until I get bored again. So my point is, yeh its got 11.5mil players and I know this has been mentioned before in this post but

ITS A GAME FOR CAUSAL GAMERS LIKE ME!!!.

Altho if it had something extra some level of skill that was needed then I wouldnt get bored so quickly.

As far as the argument about the Wii, Xbox360 and PS3... the Wii is for the family and friends to play, I have both a Wii and 360, and my Wii never gets used, and the only reason I play the 360 is for the cheevs as I feel like im being rewarded while playing the game as I very rarely complete a game anyway.

But back to the original point of the OP's post, I am pretty new to RS and yeh it might be not brilliant gfx, but as far as im concered it runs in a browser.... Can WoW do that?. Plus I like the fact you are given all of the skills from the bat and its your choice if you wish to use/skill them up or not and thats a very good thing....

So as far as RS is concerned it will be my new F2P MMO.

This post is probably completely off topic, but hey I only read it just now and im entitled to my opinion.

So you are interested in the skill thing eh? I get your point. Runescape is then, the perfect game for you. I don't doubt that. Take your time and plan yourself on how to grab them skillcapes. I myself look for balance in game(freedom) thats why I don't play runescape.I just know it sucks and I don't regret saying that. But for you, just like every serious runescape player out there, be sure to subscribe for membership once you fall off your rocker while looking at skillcape clad members parade around the F2P world. You'll see what we're talking about...soon. ;)

And don't forget to start with woodcutting, it's always the best choice for a first skill. Fast and furious...

Stop being a blind fan boy, wow isn’t a good game and never will be. I don’t care if 11 million people play the game, it just means that a company can make a buck if they dumb a game down enough for the masses and give it good graphics.
 

LMFAO He said good graphics lol buddy what MMO's are you playing? Because every MMO I've played since WoW has had crazy graphics. WoWs like looking back into the dark ages. Even some games before WoW had better graphics.

Notice the “and”, now tell me what you see before it. Another reason why WoW is such a big game is because of blizzard fan boys. They could literally sell shit and the fan boys would still buy it.

Maybe it's so they can have a game with a completely different theme? Nothing to do with age just a totally different game.

WoW's great...if you've got a stack of money to spend on a fast PC with a good graphics card and are happy to pay monthly fees...otherwise, you're screwed.

And as for making macros a part of the game...um...wouldn't everyone be the same level after a few weeks? How dull would that be?

 (i only read the first few pages and i saw you were talking about WoW)

Why can't he like WoW? only because you hate it doesn't make it a horrible game... some people like WoW and some don't.... what's the big deal?!
