Let's face it... dumb clicking to level up some skills to 99 was bad enough but if you wanted it all then that's what you did. Besides gaining some items to flaunt like capes and the like... titles... yada-yada-yada... being around the top page of this hi-scores table... or about the individual skills tables meant you're"the top" and should be worshipped. Or at least be highly considered. BY THE NOOBS THAT IS. Adults knew it was just hours of your actual life spent in a match clicking away ad nauseam
OSRS gold. Anyone remember Zezima worship? I saw him in a lender ONE SINGLE TIME back around 2006 and it was pitiful! A little army of followers a fall-fall-following him everywhere. OMG times three!! Get a lifetime nooblets!
The purpose is that in many ways some of the abilities became worthless once you reached a certain level though I shall concede Jagex made some kind of attempt to change this over the years with fresh content. The idea was to make them enjoyable or for there to be some stage. Observation: a great deal of that content was pointless or downright dumb! Oops! So much for change. Whatever the case, simply because there's new content does not mean it'll be fun or worthwhile in a small step. It also may just be installed to get uber quick leveling up so that all the crybabies will be pacified. Believe Divination skill here... and the principal mini-game created for fast leveling. All it was there to perform was to allow people to reach a 99 ASAP. Again I must ask the question... what's the purpose? Was there a point? Not really... and people wonder why so many gamers hang and wish for the day when Jagex would knock away the shenanigans and return to RS ahead of the quacked era started... that was right around the time of Construction. The game was really FUN back then aside from cheaters using bots.
To finish up, I will admit I haven't been on RS since 2012
buy RuneScape gold when my account had been hacked. I lost about 1.5 billion in cash and items... never got back anything nor was my account restored. I advised Jagex give me what I earned or you lost my money for more members play indefinitely... they never said a peep via e-mail so that was that. I finished my membership out time, converted to F2P for a short time then found another sport to spend my money on. I eventually did find out exactly what happened to my account however... it was the fantastic Yahoo hack of a couple years back - that is the way the hackers obtained my advice. For this day I wonder just how many gamers lost it all due to that same thing happening to them... I bet it was a great deal.
Not one of us understood for a very long time - and some of us went overboard checking our systems for malware never to find any. Obviously there wasn't... the hackers had gained over a billion Yahoo account passwords. They didn't need to hack any farther. All they had to do is log on to any provided Yahoo account and check for evidence of an RS accounts and take advantage of it if something useful was discovered. That's EXACTLY the way I lost nearly everything I'd taken years to make... and it's why Jagex missing a loyal customer. NO. It was not... but the least they could have achieved was reestablish my account
wiki RuneScape as it wasn't my fault . Hell, I assisted in turning in the account of one of those jackasses that did it - the little bastard had the gall to brag about it in front of me in the Grand Exchange the following day (undoubtedly with a throw away account) but I did my part by reporting the whole conversation a page at one time. End result? They could not even return an email.
