Like WOW!!!!

LMFAO, i never had it that bad but I remember some creepy guy always trying to talk to me on rs, he was a 34 year old anime nerd, I think he was a pedo bear.

Actually if you're a member. Some of the quests give you a ton of xp towards certain skills, but still there isn't any reason to play runescape unless you're a member nowadays. Free players get what 30% of the content? When members first started it was like free players had 80% of the content then afterawhile Fagex just stopped giving a crap about free players and gave every new thing to MEMBERS.

Thing is, Fagex wouldn't have had to put in grand exchange and trade limits if they wouldn't have put limits on so many other things. Jagex let me tell you something: When you make something more troublesome (or discontinue!!!) something altogether then the prices of anything associated with that will go UP. That's a basic fact of life.

I remember when those black hole disks that were once used to get out of the space where the banned players were held were discontinued (along with the banned zone, which was actually just a black space with no walls or anything). Those things became the highest priced items in Runescape history. Most sold for billions or atleast hundreds of millions. Then later down the line Runescape 2 came out, but a few months before that Jagex put in limits on everything including the inventory limit which wont let you keep doing stuff after your inventory is full. Prices rose and later that item was knocked off its perch and long forgotten.

 Still the game is going down the gurggler, it is clear that Mod Mark H is one of about three people that control everything in this game.

 Also clear is the immaturity of these few kids that are Jagex since all they have been doing for months is PVP on everything updated - even going towards that with quests, this could end the game for the majority of adults playing after the teenagers have all quit from their studies, nothing to entice them back. For several weeks now I have been using F2P for chatting to old mates while mining and in say 6 weeks have got almost 2 mining levels from 86 to near 88, that would equate to about $30NZ if I had to pay members to do that .

 This begs me to ask; How much real money does it cost to max out all stats???    I spent near $1000 on my game and computer aswell as with my two nephews, just being a member I believe cost me over $300NZ and I presume to get all 99s would cost something like $10,000. this seems very odd and is even more rediculous when you realise that the majority of accounts got levels by hacking other people or by macroing - this means that the majority havent even played the game themselves so there is no self-gratitude but instead a feeling that they can steal in real life aswell with no recourse. How has Jagex faired? Lately I can't believe the huge number of friends that are getting hacked of all their stuff when they hadn't had any trouble during all the old fiasco, Jagex haven't done a thing to help but love pocketing those players hard earned cash!

 If you want progress then listing complaints as forms of 'bugs' then finding Jagex email address and complaining there will work if large enough volumes of players complain loud enough.

I agree with ya!

First off i'm not a kid.I'm married with 2 children.My family likes this game & so I gave it another try.Once you get into the story & community.It isnt that bad as people say.I do miss the wilderness,but i'm sure with enough complaints it may come back.Just because you guys say this game sux is prolly because you guys are just lazy!I dont like the grinding much,but like the rewards.So no more cry babys crying how jagex is a bad company.

 

1.  RuneScape has no story. (just questst, which are pretty good)

2. When you get into the community it really is bad.  Look at their forums - the amount of immaturity is unbelievable.  Don't even get me started on the F2P servers.

3.  It's not being lazy, it's just not fun.  Why should I grind away, doing the same things over and over without any change?  I shbouldn't!  It's not the fact that we are lazy, but that the skills are so boring, repetitive, and take no skill whatsoever.

4.  That's not the only reason why we complain.  We complain about the updates, the poor custamor service, etc...the list just goes on of why JaGeX IS a bad company.

     The community in Runescape was worse than in any game I had ever played.......I really dont know how anyone could play this game more than a couple hours.....This was teh only game I had to literally shut off all chat channels because there were so many foul mouthed and vulgar people....I dont mind a little swearing now and then but if its every other word in a public game then theres a problem......

It really is a shame what Jagex keep on doing now making all updates PVP and still slow stat making to allow for armour, gloves, etc which they use to allow players to get most of the stat improvement back from what they already took away - this is real world money scamming to the max!!!

For the huge numbers of young children and teenagers and even young adults, the problem is how gaming addiction relates to seriously bad health. Where the kids born today are expected to die before their parents, you can see here the main cause of this worry; http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/12/27/important-vitamin-d-update.aspx  Watch out Kusheng2 and others that game far too much!   Oh for mature woman like Devillicious please see here the worry of mammography testing too; http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/08/07/major-confusion-on-how-to-do-breast-checks.aspx

As for Runescape, it's now much more as a F2P chat service with old friends that still play for the same reason. Many new players are becoming members but they quit a lot earlier than ever before aswell.

I don't game too much.... im offended.

Kusheng2 i'm sorry to upset you, it's that all those games you listed at the bottom would suggest almost a 24/7 game player. If you want that removed just say so!

He listed a couple of MMORPGs he played and you thought he played games 24/7? lol

Those aren't even hardcore MMOs. People play those for like an hour then get off.

I agree with you about some things... Yes, the community is all bad and pple are calling others noobs who are actually noobs themselves but thats not a huge problem. What is: SCAMMING< HACKING< CHEATS! But rs took care of scamming with the rtrade limit and the warning sign that a person took out the offer. You can still do high trades. The questing, now gives a HUGE range of money limit. 32 quest points equals about 10k trade limit. If you are a member- oh omg i dont even know how much! Another thing is the wilderness. Why was it taken out (NO,THE JAGEX STAFF IS NOT EVIL) its the noobs complaining about them loosing items. Hey rs future depends on noobs, their the ones who will train and tell their friends. I hate those pesty noobs not only do they call lvl 100s noobs they try to fight them (lol) Only half the new players will be succesful. my point is its the complaining of the noobs (no not all of them- some actually work) jagex did try to creat something for both pple like pvp world... I like it but not as much as the old wilderness. Still after the cancel of the wilderness there were some new updates( pple do rev hunt and bounty hunter- yes, many like it, and clan wars- now since a new update u can pk with a clan in a red or white portal one is safe one isnt) That is like the wilderness but better because of the clan thing....

you smelled my name wrong!!

 OMG xusheng2, yes u smelled it I spelled it wrong. Sorry again! Maybe I need a cushion to relax since Jagex are so bad .

Runescape3 seems to be common stuff from Jagex and doesn't fit all the massive complaints in the game. Bounty Hunter is a major complaint and in no way fun for many players at all. The same goes for most of the other places for PVP which Jagex kept trying to do to make up for their pathetic failure ruining people playing with only updates involving PVP types of things to try to recover their huge base of members that PVPed! From that time they totally ignore those huge numbers of us (mainly adults & mature teenagers) that continued playing! The most destroyed type of player is a lvl3 skiller since diaries etc mean u have to kill to get the benefits, at the same time us higher lvls that mostly skill are directed to PVP but thats exactly what we hate in the game so now all players have been attacked by Jagex which shows they don't care a dam for the players as long as they make money.  This is where the comments of Runescape3 get so much worse since what they said was they don't give a dam for people that have played for five or more years in this game back when the decent original Jagex people gave us a fair deal!!! As they said, they want the world to bring new ignorant people into this game while ignoring what existing members are so sick of in the game! To this end they dropped the age 13 minimum limit to suck kids with less intelligence into the game where they don't have the ability to complain to those Jagex immature owner/programmers that have less brains than the majority of us that play!!!

Jagex truely deserve all the New Year Riots, the problem is the majority are kids whose parents are paying the money for them to play, thus they mostly say to 'Remove the Trade Limit Jagex' . This doesn't even start to get to the real heart of the game problem, Jagex need to put back the experience rate to what it was five years ago so everyone gets the same chance at raising their skills instead of it taking five times or more longer than what it did back then, They need to leave the forums alone so the honest complaints are also heard in there, instead of removing them to cover up how most people complain against the game. They need to fix the censor & their in-game Mods so there is real honesty & safety in the game since so many Mods are some of the worse people in RS and so much good is censored while so much absurd abuse is totally ignored - spamming should automatically be removed in-game. PVP worlds need to be limited more as do the use of so many worlds that were home to good mature well behaved players who have been forced to leave and so often give up on the game with its degrading quality. It is clear the direction Jagex are heading is leading to the collapse of this game altogether as with anything 'if you remove the foundations of anything at all, the main structure is guaranteed to collapse' which is exactly the direction Jagex are moving!!!!!!!!!!!

 The first step to repair this game & all games is to change the charging to an hourly 5cent charge, this then fairly charges for the time you play, thus a child on for an hour a day shouldn't now pay the same as a dumb kid that plays 12 hours a day (reason;  http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FDN/is_1_13/ai_n25332537/pg_1?tag=artBody;col1  which is how a couple of Jagex staff helped towards their own deaths) . If you play an hour a day then you spend $1.50 a month but a silly kid on 12 hours a day pays $18 a month and the charging would be simply that you pay upfront until your credit gets low then you have to top that up - why should decent people playing afew hours a week pay for an idiot to spend so long on he kills himself young through bad health???

 There is so much else to complain of that its too impossible to list it all but thats what all the threads are here for!

The only reason people play runescape this days is for the skill cape, not for the fun at all. Jagex has brainwashed all runescape players with the skill cape craze. If you dont know what i am talkin about, go on youtube, go on sythe, go on every damn runescape forum that still operates today. They sacrificed it all for the sake of the skill cape. The evidence is there.lmao Everything in runescape REVOLVES around the skill cape. I know LOTS of people, friends and enemies alike in real life who are willing to kill someone for a skill cape. I mean kill someone physically .Scary huh? Its not too late to find a new  better RPG to play.

i would have to say that you and 100% wrong on this subject. of everyone wanting the skill cape i have been playing on many diff. accouts over the last few year and i would have to say that the only thing that keeps me playing anymore is the friends that i have made over the years.. yeah the game has its fair share of crazy ppl. but after u do make some friends on there that is much like your self you forget about the stupid ppl.. if you still think that all ppl want is skillcapes just watch tehnoobshow vids on youtube. this guy just plays to have fun like it was intended to be when the game was made.

Blissey is correct for a lot of players, the more addicted sick 24/7ers would rate how Skillcapes are the target yet before they came it was simply to get 99 that was the craze! Personally by playing part time on here, why would I bother starting another game? The kids that start games like this & spend hours & hours at them only to move on to another game are vertually the same as 24/7ers on RS or other games!

Today it's more a case for many of us just to do f2p stuff while chatting to old mates from there. Those that pay are certainly addicted while the problem they have keeping paying members in most cases is how it's a waste to pay for only playing a few hours a week - forget their lies of the biggest online game with over 1million members when not so many are on and WOW has about 11million playing .

for defnoskill:Yeah, everybody is crazy about the skill cape! Why the hell do you say that people who are crazy about the skill cape are crazy people? People in runescape ARE CRAZY about the skill cape for show off, not because they are literally crazy themself?I don't have to watch tehdamnoobshow in youtube because those punks who do that damn show have highlevel accounts up their asses. They do the show for fun, they also play runescape seriously. Don't tell me like you know everything lmao. I know what I am talking about. The main purpose of the game Runescape revolves around what? the skill cape!. LMAO the way kids play it already proves it.
 

Hi i updated my post on what else ruins the game.

please take a read and leave a comment.

RS has been going downhill and that trend started for me at the Grand Exchange. From then on, everything got easier because Jagex had to consider all of the 10 year olds that were joining. I started playing RS in '05 and my play time has been 39 days 9 hours TOTAL, and it's without a doubt the longest time I've spent on an MMORPG. It's just sad that all of that "hard" work had to be for nothing...

I'd just like to add that a lot of MMOs (including this one) have been slapping adverts all over their sites lately. This also pisses a lot of players off.

But it's easy to block them.  If you use Firefox install the "addblock plus" plugin, go to it's preferences and add a filter then paste "http://services.runescape.com" .  Then you won't get any more adverts, you won't even see the empty banner because the plugin will hide the frame.  I don't play this shite, but I used runescape as a test for it and thought I'd share :P

i think they messed up the most and have heard the most complaints about about the trade limit
