The one thing is runescape creators are the only game creators care about the community who actualy do something that can ruin the game for the sake of making it fair gameplay such as getting rid of wild they new it was big risk but it was for a good reason - realy world tradeing - and world of warcraft does nothing. against gold selling ect ect botting ect ect

 


 

Yet another fine example of the community that defends ruinedscape. Thanks for showing everyone here what 90% of the runescape community is like now.

Keep in mind the community wasn't always full of immature little kids flaming everyone.

1. its a grindfest, the game is ALL grinding (you have to put in hundreds of hours into the game)

2.no good pvp system with real rewards anymore (removal of wilderness and replaced with crap)

3.Super slow paced (point,click, wait 2 minutes, repeat..)

4. the community is 92% of little kids under 12 who call everyone "noobs" and cuss and  whine and think there 1337

5.game mechanics stink (point, click, move)

6.Jagex dosent care about what you think should be or shouldnt be in the game, all they want is your money

7.99.7% of the "updates" are nerf's

8.The customer support is non-existant

9.People get banned for no reason

10.Graphics utterly suck (even WoW's is better) Being a browser based game is not an excuse, peroid.

11. the other .3% of updates are updates the noobs commanded and makes the game worse" - quote -

Sure companies want people's money, but only rs wants it for stupidities. Why do you keep bringing up wow? We're talking about rs. Taking away the wildy was the most darastic choice on the list. These were probably there 2 options: 1. make a good choice without taking away the wildy. 2. Take the wildy away ergo making the dumbest decision.

2 - It is a matter of opinion what makes a good pvp system. But the rewards are exactly the same as they always have been - and a good deal better than most other mmorpgs.

3 - what do you mean by this? that levels go slowly? If so, I challenge you to find me a decent mmo where the levels don't go slowly by the end. Oh wait, there aren't any... If you are talking about lag - try using a better world for you.

4 - Replace 92% with 2% and you would be about right. However this is indeed a problem (although one which seems to have reduced substantially over the last few months), and one of the downsides of Runescape. Why is this the case? Because the game is so accessible. You don't have to spend hours downloading it, and you can play for free. Of course you will get idiots playing. It is a shame, but it is a price that, in my opinion, is worth paying.

5 - There are a lot of mmos that use clicking to move. To be honest I don't really care whether a game uses arrow keys or the mouse. What difference does it make?

6 - I am yet to come across another gaming company that cares as much as Jagex does about what people want... Even the updates at the end of last year - complaints about bots were far more common than complaints about the wildy are now... And even if they did only want your money... how would they go about getting it? That's right - by implementing updates that people want.  An example of a far more money-hungry gaming company would be Aeria games - who just create various games and then never update them other than to create new items for the item mall - which have to be bought for real world cash. I am glad to say that selling items in such a way is something that Jagex have chosen not to do - and any firm that just cared about cash wouldn't hesitate to do.

7 - load of nonsense. How many nerfs have there been so far this year? Oh wait... None.

8 - also a load of nonsense. Many jmods are active on the forums, and they are frequently sighted in game. You can (and should) report any rulebreakers you see easily via an anonymous in-game facility. There is a very high number of players per customer support jmod simply because of the huge number of players.

9 - everyone who claims they were banned for no reason is lying. Everyone. People have been muted for no significant reason before - usually due to a misunderstanding by a player moderator.

10 - have you played runescape since the graphical update? Nope, thought not. While these may not be the best in the business, can you blame them given that it is a browser based game. The runescape graphics are way better than ANY other browser based game in existance.


 

#1-5 - I agree completely

#6 - So caring that it took them around 7 MONTHS to bring back what we wanted. (pk)

#7 - Some have been bad.

#8 - From what I have seen of Customer Support, they are no help.

#9 - I agree.

#10 - Graphics are fairly good, especially for its speed on the fact that no download is nessessary

Have you ever even played the game?? Seriously.

Runescape's large variety isn't really variety considering you do the same thing for every skill. You click, wait and repeat.

The rewards suck. I don't want to waste 3 months getting a skill to level 99 to get a stupid cape that does nothing but a stupid emote and cause flaming from noobs.

If you ever even played runescape that long you would know that lvl 92 is the half way point for experience points in any skill. Most other mmorps do not have a leveling system that increases exponentially to the degree that runescape does. Its ridiculous.

The game is not worth paying for if you do have to deal with immature little kids and stupid updates which ruin the game.

Jagex doesn't care what players want. they care about money and only money. end of story.

There have been loads of nerfs recently. To list a few: pvp, economy, quests, rewards, minigames, wilderness, and trading. All of which have been nerfed.

There is a common belief among the majority of most runescape players that gold crowns are rarer than party hats. When was the last time you saw a jmod in the game. Of the 6 years I've played I've only seen one. Ive seen way more party hats than j mods. and party hats are the rarest item in the game in case you didnt know. excluding the christmas cracker which cant be seen except in trade windows.

Actually a lot of players I know including myself have been muted and/or banned for the dumbest reasons. So don't talk about things of which you clearly dont know anything about.

Yes i have played since the graphics update. The graphics are better admittingly but still have numerous flaws. Compared to many other games runescape's graphics are still substandard.

 I've never really understood a lot of these complaints.

It requires a long time to get to level 99 in most skills. OK, fair enough. But there's no reason you have to grind all the way to 99 in any skill. You really only need about 1/4 of the XP required to get 99 (about level 85) to be able to do almost everything in Runescape. 

Plus, Runescape has been around for 6 years, and will be around I'm sure for 6 more. You have years to get 99. What's the rush?

I'm guessing you want it all right now.

There are definitely a lot of less-than-mature players. Ignore them. You have an ignore list. I don't know how I manage to play and avoid all these people you seem to encounter.

I've never, ever had to make use of Customer Support in the 3 years I've played. Then again, I've never been banned or muted for breaking the rules. Nor have I felt the need to complain "when's the Wildy coming back".

I'm just curious why it seems so many of you just hang around here and grieve that Runescape isn't everything you want in a MMORPG. 

Find one that is what you want. Move on, and be positive. Dwelling in this negativity can't be good for your karma.

The fact that it's in a browser really isn't the problem. It's not browser based. Kings of Chaos is browser based. Runescape is a JAVA based game. They just decided to place it on the web. Just like Tribal Wars.

Also, you said that using click to move was better than wasd/other key commands because you like to type?... Type what? Get ye flask?

I have done everything in runescape, and I did not "rush" I have played it since it started. It was the biggest waste of time. There is no reason to get levels in this game because there is no rewards for them. When you get them you are disappointed because it wasn't worth the effort put into it/

I'm guessing you want it all right now.

No, but what I do want right now is fun interesting gameplay, not boring repetition. what I want is good customer service, and a company that cares about what it's players want. I want a fun game not The nonsense Jagex has been trying to spoon feed us.

There are definitely a lot of less-than-mature players. Ignore them. You have an ignore list. I don't know how I manage to play and avoid all these people you seem to encounter.

It is funny  about runescape it has the strictest chat filter, but yet it has the worst spam I have ever seen on any game. I have never had to ignore any player ever on any game I have ever played , why should I have to  here? The games I play with no chat filter have 110% better community .. go figure. If the game itself didn;t put everyone in such a bad mood on there I am sure that would help the game alot.

I've never, ever had to make use of Customer Support in the 3 years I've played. Then again, I've never been banned or muted for breaking the rules. Nor have I felt the need to complain "when's the Wildy coming back".

You never asked customer support anything? What about when the game kept rolling back and your previous kills suddenly were erased, or your previous sales just disappeared? or had 12m gp suddenly disappears out of your account? yea .. just try to contact them about anything and see how you are treated. LOL  You never asked them why they just banned a teacher for helping her students ? I  am not banned either, but that is no excuse for them not to provide friendly, helpful customer service to their paying members. Their customer service is rude and arrogant and does not care to help you.

After they wrongly banned my friend who was an ENGLISH TEACHER .. never did anything  but try to help her students on that game , never broke any rules , but banned her for  RWT when she never did what they said she did. She gave free stuff to kids on the game, because she was just that way... never did she ever accept $ for it.  Jagex seriously has their priorities mixed up.

 You assume that people have to be breaking rules in order to want to contact them, and this is completely false. Just to give you a heads up, Your account is the sole property of Jagex ltd, and they can take it from you at any time without evidence, regardless of if you broke any rules or not. I have played this game long enough to have seen that exact thing happen over and over and over again, and they will not accept player submitted screenshots, or any evidence that proves otherwise. I hope you do not care about your accounts much, because they sure as hell do not.

I'm just curious why it seems so many of you just hang around here and grieve that Runescape isn't everything you want in a MMORPG. 

SOme of us had alot of time and money invested in this game, only to have the  company demolish it. I gave Jagex thousands, yes thousands of dollars to make this game better and they ran it in ditch. You may be one that accepts substandard work, and if it disappoints you just quietly move on, but I for one move on yes, but sure as hell not quietly. I think those that just accept what is given and quietly leave are the ones that should be ashamed, as long as you do not speak up that is all you will ever be given. It is the people who have made their voices heard loud and clear that is the reason Jagex is bringing in the PVP worlds, but sadly that just isn't enough yet.

Find one that is what you want. Move on, and be positive. Dwelling in this negativity can't be good for your karma.

LOL. I have found good games, great companies, and I am very positive about their futures. This does not change the bad taste this game left in my mouth, and I will speak openly about exactly what this is. LOL @ my karma... everyone I know tells me I am the happiest girl they know.. it takes alot to set me off.. but with Jagex they have given me more than enough.  Trying to tell people to quiet down their restlessness with this game does not make the game any better, tell them to speak up so maybe , just maybe Jagex will one of these days wake up and listen and eventually make better games. Would you not rather then make a fun, challenging,  exciting game with a good community than the garbage they try to make you accept as the best the can do. They can do better, it is about time we stopped accepting that is the way it has to be simply because people are lazy.

Well you obviously haven't played runescape that long. If you have then you surely would have run into some immature little punks. Also you would have had to make use of customer support at one time. If you haven't customer support then you haven't played long enough and therefore have n
