Runescape

NO. bounty hunter is pathetic. wilderness was the most interesting place before it was ruined. graphics ARE awful, how can you say they are good when you do not have a face.

Actually the post i quoted that i responded to did. And yes it has been pretty obvious with the updates they have been implementing that they are targeting kids. Look at Everything they have been doing recently. The "Parents guides" the  removal of risks, making it a "safe" game. The addition of pets that follow you around like pokemon.. Then of course there is fun orb. All of those things appeal to children. Adults like risks, they like freedom, they care more about actual gameplay than graphics. Everyone compares the game to "hello kitty " now it is disgraceful how much they have gone downhill with this game.  Where are the mods out banning people for playing underage? Noo they are too busy banning people helping friends on the game.  From the mods I have spoken to about this subject.... they do not ban people for being underage even though they lied on a contract, but yet they do ban people trying to give away free stuff for new members. How twisted is that?

haha luckily I quit before they changed that. gave away a few mill to random noobs before I left this game.

...i quitted right after updates, but i didn't give anyone anything lol

YAY reporting academy!! feels just like kindergarden.... you can obviously tell what age the new updates are targeted to. i am glad i quit

Yeah . jagex's updates have been geared towards 9-10 year old kids....they whine and jagex pacifies them by putting in updates they would like...

I'm not one to judge a game solely on graphics. The graphics aren't what ruined runescape. When I first started playing runescape I thought the graphics were pretty good. Nowadays I think most people would say they are subpar when compared to games like Guildwars, WoW, and Everquest.

But there is a lot more to a game then graphincs. In runescape's case the recent updates are what ruined the game for me and other many other players. The recent updates sent a strong message to the players. It basically was like a slap in the face to all the pkers, merchanters, and other honest players. I understand Jagex made the updates to help the players, but in my opinion they were made them just to help themselves. They really don't give a crap of what any players think. They delete any thread on their forums questioning their descions and they have removed the " Comment on Our Service" link on their website.

This is simply sendinhg the message to us players, that they really don't care about what we think or say. This is why runescape sucks now. They are catering to 9-10 year olds with the stupid Reporting Academy and their horrible updates. The community is also starting to get more and more immature. I'm tired of their silly half-baked updates. They really don't put any thought into any of their new quests anymore, it seems like they're just making more quests to keep people from keeping their quest capes for too long.

They also ban tons of people for no reason. My freind got perm muted for typing in a few question marks. Honestly it's silly. Not to mention the hundreds of bugs in the game and the horrible lag. The bad graphincs just add to all this. Their so-called graphics improvement isn't really much of an improvement. What they really need to do is fix the character's graphics on the game and give them actaully faces. Summoning also sucks. It costs way too much to train and the familars don't even really help you that much. It's just not worth it.

You see, this is exactly what Deviliscious and I have been stating for the last several months.

Well put Matt, well put.
