i understand that most people might not like runescape that much anymore y dont u try wow ders a free 10 day trial ahead FREE... but if you are seriouslly that anoyed try moparscape
i played WoW ages ago when it first came out and there is so much shit i can say about it which will offend most members of that community so i may as well not say it.
i am not going to play runescape anymore unless they bring the original wilderness back and remove the trade limit.
right now i just play guild wars. guild wars has the best pvp and is not as time consuming and demanding as other games like WoW and Runescape. (unless you go for the titles in guild wars...)

Same here. I can't wait for Guild wars 2 to come out! The Mists sounds awesome
I miss the old runescape. anyways, jagex doesn't really read anything that players post. so i can pretty much guarentee that Jagex isn't going to read this. They don't even really read many of the threads on their own forums, so why would they read this. They someitmes skim over some threads just to find which posts to hide/lock.
Cyclops is very desciptive of Jagex, certainly a one eyed group of developers/mods since they control forums, contact complaints aswell as Jagex contact aswell - I got replies from all three complaing of a lot of genuine stuff only to be replied to by the same people. Jagex definitely control Forums and remove a lot of genuine complaints while leaving known complaints like 'kids loosing wildy' in, knowing this would be a common complaint they couldn't simply remove.
Playing over five years I didn't have time to max all stats probably as I stopped so often to help people and also I built up a great friendship yet I estimate I probably had to delete over 300 good friends that quit in order to make room for new good friends, this included two genuine Mods of which Jagex removed ones Mod-state since she wanted to help a friend get his gear back from his old account after the trade limit was in as they weren't on during that - Jagex never ever try to be fair.
As far as Wildy going is concerned I was glad as it stopped me from working better on my stats like runecraft since at best I had to use Zanaris for making nats until no pking mad abyss better, ghosts were ok. The Bounty Hunter etc to me is wasting my time but TY I now know why I lost my clue rewards dead there looking about.
Not so strange is how PVP is what destroys a lot of games as many of us have no time for there and contrary to some comments it was kids there so inconsiderate that annoyed me in the wild and those of us without huge groups of real life friends playing at the same time couldn't ever do PVP things as it is never fair to us at the other end of the world.

Yes Jagex is a very one-eyed group. All the mods act and think the same way. Not much diversity in thought at all. So closed minded.
To be honest I didn't pk that often in the old wilderness but when I did I enjoyed the freedom, and the excitement of the wilderness. Any time a clan could come out and attack. It was pure freedom and it was that raw element of extinct and freedom that made it fun. Bounty hunter just doesn't match up.

Thanks for proving our point. For all those who think Jages is super awesome. Jagex does make mistakes and lots of them. Although I suppose we all do. I admit I've made lots of mistakes. But Jagex seems so stubborn. They aren't willing to change or make up for their mistakes. They won't even acknowledge that they've made any.
Not to say that all player mods should not have been player mods. But they are a substantial number of them that shouldn't not have been player mods. Most of which were under 13 at the time they were modded.

Actually you are completely correct. Being that I was formerly a Player Mod myself (I quit because of all the idiots, jerks, and egotistical zeros) I know about the general populous. We have the 25% jerks, the 10% idiots, the 3% really stupid idiots, the 10% control freaks and the 20% goody two shoes (and of course, quite a few that were a mix of more than one of the above.) There was one to top them all however... BERTHA. She negated everything I said on the forums, berated every one of the mods constantly, acted like she owned the place, and was the Self-Appointed queen of all Player Mods. God I wanted to kick her ass.
Other than that, the 32% that weren't any of the above mostly ignored everyone except fellow mods; the general rule was never to talk. Because of the fact talking would reveal that you were a mod, they never did, unless they wanted hundreds of newbs crowding around them asking these types of questions and making these statements; and trust me, none were ever different than these seven:
1. Pl0x I wanna be a mod i report ppl but they won't make me mod pleeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzze. pls. pls. pls.
2. F__king noob you are a noob mod chooby nooby noob mods suck go die f__ker.
3. Mute me. Ban me. Mute me. Ban me. You ar an ___ die die f__king a__h_le get a life get a job noob.

It is the mods being irresponsible, and it is the people of the community acting like complete morons. I couldn't take being bashed for trying to help the community by muting people and getting them banned. Every time I made a mistaken mute, I would get berated by Jagex and the player I muted. Every time I muted a racist idiot or someone swearing their head off I got nothing. I am a social person and liked to talk so being unrewarded for restricting myself from doing what I love was not my idea of fun.
I really admire your honesty in that post Simiswimm. Now to talk about Player mods and how they ruin the game, I have one word that sums it all up: corruption. Not all mods are evil, but alot of them pose a threat . Runescape is well known for moderators and wanna-be mods. These two groups of people do seperate tesks; yet they share a very similar trait: Opressive-Optimism.
What is oppressive-optimism? basically it is when somewhen denies the truth(regardless of good and bad) for optimism. They do anything just to point out optimism. They like bash down honest players who are trying to point out flaws in Runescape, infavor for a mod-postion. They also love to be hypocrites, and they do things all because of pride, and a mod-position. Examples are: wanna be mods , Rs Forums,JAGEX MODS,RS FORUM MODS, some player mods.
Now with this pointed out, I'm not trying to critisise any of these groups for being evil. I'm just pointing out their traits so that we may have a better understanding of Runescape and what keeps it from improving. Also to say that these groups DO make hindrances and blockages for improvement, especially with the attitudes of the Rs Population. I'll try to write more when I have time....
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.
I am almost shocked that you would want to admit that you"got into" the community or allowed your children any where near that community. Isn't as bad as people asy? no it is much worse. I bartended in college and never heard anywhere near the sexually explict ,child ponography, outright sick material that I encountered in my many years of playing this game. Oh the joyous runescpae community: dasie the 43 yr old woman dating a 14 year old boy and giving him phone sex everynight, Tam the 48 yr old woman dating the 16 yr old, bubbles the 53 yr old truck driver dating the 12 yr old boy, and who could forget Peg the 53 yr old grandmother dating the 15 yr old boy. OOh the photos we were sent for clan applications.. the 11 yr old sending us nekkid pics thinkin that this would get them into the guild with graphic text that no 11 year old should be saying to anyone. WE REPORTED THIS TO JAGEX, they did not care, those people are still allowed to play and talk to your children. These are just a few, and I mean very few examples of the severly messed up runescape community. I could tell you about thousands more .. but I really do not even want to think about all that is going on in that game. Not to mention that you cannot log into any world at any time without seeing mispelled prfanity and insults. But yet Jagex thinks this will be a great childrens game. LOL! I have always wondered where these kids parents are while they are doing all these things? The internet is no place for children and it certainly is not a babysitter.
As for laziness.... I guess I was too lazy to train multiple accounts to max stats, that I was too lazy to do every quest in the game, that I was too lazy to train every stat to where I could make every item in the game myself.. oh yea I already did that. I guess I am just too lazy to argue with Jagex anymore about what players want and think is fun.. Yea I think I am throwing in the towel after 8 years of trying to get through to them. Rewwards? what rewards.. because this game does not believe in rewards LOL. no instead when you get a maxed stat you get to pay them $ for a stupid cape that instead of helping you not burn manta rays, or helping you chop magics faster it then instead makes countless noobs follow you around asking you to do stupid emotes. Harrassment is a punisjment not a reward. When you get to the skill levels to do the higher level things in the game , it is less profitable, and more time consuming per hour than just doing the low level stuff instead. That is why so few players chop magics, even with 99 wc, no instead they are either at yews or willows because they are better per hour than the items you earned to do. steel bars are more profitable per hour than mith , yews are more profitable per hour than magics...
The reason so many people are angry with Jagex is that they do not know the meaning of customer service, their staff is outright rude. Hope you do not care about your accounts that much because they sure do not care about the time and money you invest into them. Your account is the sole property of Jagex ltd, and they can choose so at anytime to lock it, and ban you from the game without evidence when you do not even break any rules. No, I have not been banned, but last year I witnessed mass wrongful bannings of many law abiding players without evidence and no recourse. They banned teachers for helping students, parents for helping their children, grandmothers for helping their grandsons, clan leaders for giving away clan prizes, and many more players for giving birthday gifts, christmas gifts, and other acts of charity. YES KINDNESS IS BANABLE ON THIS GAME.
They remove posts in their forums not for breaking any rules, but if the posts give their players any ideas that do not follow within the current framework of what they are already planning for their game. Prior to Jagex announcing that they were going to remove trade and the wilderness they were given many more options to stop RMT, tried and true methods that other games have used, but yet they removed those threads stating only" This is a matter that Jagex takes very seriously and we regretfully have to remove this post." They do not want their general player audience to know they have any other options, they are stating in convention interviews where they are headed with this game, but yet they do not bother to tell the players in their own forums.
The report abuse system is so abused that they need to overhaul their entire proceedure and rexamine all past decsions. Here is how their system has worked for years and currentyl works: player A scams Player B, Player B gets upsets and starts yelling at Player A, Player A reports Player B along with everyone else they scammed. PLayer B gets banned, Player A is made into a player mod.
PLayer C insults player D, Player D insults back, PLayer C, and C"S friend Player E both report player D Player D is banned and Player C is made a mod.
The sad thing about this is that I saw it happen so many times in my years with this game that it became " the norm" I knew so many mods that were under 12 when at that time they weren;t even allowed to play the game with it's 13+ age limit. It was really that bad.
Now for the story line and quality of quests. The quests were more like chores rather than "getting into the game" I mean you look at games that cost less than this that have wayy better story lines and you wonder what am I paying for here? The quests in runescape were not challenging , and the AI is poor. After I had completed them all on my maxed character, and I was doing them on my noob with 1 defense and never once encountered the chance of dying, I realized how easy these quests really were. I mean even the highest level monster in the game was so predictable I defeated it 3 times with my nooblet... pked in the lousy cape reward and had to go get it again .. and again .. LOL Nothing in runescape is hard, just time consuming. It is a time sink with no rewards, and once you accomplish all of those in game goals you have it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It leaves you disappointed because all of that work in the game really was for nothing.
My advice: "spit that thing out before you chew it too long!"
You basically just said everything I wanted to say for the past year in one post.
Some of the people in RS are just so damn creepy. I remember I had this 73 year old woman that kept asking for me address cause she wanted to send me a sweater she knitted.
Some of the people in RS are just so damn creepy. I remember I had this 73 year old woman that kept asking for me address cause she wanted to send me a sweater she knitted. 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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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....
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!
you smelled my name wrong!!

We have the 25% jerks, the 10% idiots, the 3% really stupid idiots, the 10% control freaks and the 20% goody two shoes (and of course, quite a few that were a mix of more than one of the above.) There was one to top them all however... BERTHA. She negated everything I said on the forums, berated every one of the mods constantly, acted like she owned the place, and was the Self-Appointed queen of all Player Mods. God I wanted to kick her ass.
Other than that, the 32% that weren't any of the above mostly ignored everyone except fellow mods; the general rule was never to talk. Because of the fact talking would reveal that you were a mod, they never did, unless they wanted hundreds of newbs crowding around them asking these types of questions and making these statements; and trust me, none were ever different than these seven:
1. Pl0x I wanna be a mod i report ppl but they won't make me mod pleeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzze. pls. pls. pls.
2. F__king noob you are a noob mod chooby nooby noob mods suck go die f__ker.
3. Mute me. Ban me. Mute me. Ban me. You ar an ___ die die f__king a__h_le get a life get a job noob.
4. lalalalalala lalalalala. alalala. alallalalalallalalallalllala. Beeat box beat box I like to beat box wootQqejweijf!!!1!

It is the mods being irresponsible, and it is the people of the community acting like complete morons. I couldn't take being bashed for trying to help the community by muting people and getting them banned. Every time I made a mistaken mute, I would get berated by Jagex and the player I muted. Every time I muted a racist idiot or someone swearing their head off I got nothing. I am a social person and liked to talk so being unrewarded for restricting myself from doing what I love was not my idea of fun.
I really admire your honesty in that post Simiswimm. Now to talk about Player mods and how they ruin the game, I have one word that sums it all up: corruption.
Not all mods are evil, but alot of them pose a threat . Runescape is well known for moderators and wanna-be mods. These two groups of people do seperate tesks; yet they share a very similar trait: Opressive-Optimism.
What is oppressive-optimism? basically it is when somewhen denies the truth(regardless of good and bad) for optimism. They do anything just to point out optimism. They like bash down honest players who are trying to point out flaws in Runescape, infavor for a mod-postion. They also love to be hypocrites, and they do things all because of pride, and a mod-position. Examples are: wanna be mods , Rs Forums,JAGEX MODS,RS FORUM MODS, some player mods.
Now with this pointed out, I'm not trying to critisise any of these groups for being evil. I'm just pointing out their traits so that we may have a better understanding of Runescape and what keeps it from improving. Also to say that these groups DO make hindrances and blockages for improvement, especially with the attitudes of the Rs Population. I'll try to write more when I have time....
I am almost shocked that you would want to admit that you"got into" the community or allowed your children any where near that community. Isn't as bad as people asy? no it is much worse. I bartended in college and never heard anywhere near the sexually explict ,child ponography, outright sick material that I encountered in my many years of playing this game. Oh the joyous runescpae community: dasie the 43 yr old woman dating a 14 year old boy and giving him phone sex everynight, Tam the 48 yr old woman dating the 16 yr old, bubbles the 53 yr old truck driver dating the 12 yr old boy, and who could forget Peg the 53 yr old grandmother dating the 15 yr old boy. OOh the photos we were sent for clan applications.. the 11 yr old sending us nekkid pics thinkin that this would get them into the guild with graphic text that no 11 year old should be saying to anyone. WE REPORTED THIS TO JAGEX, they did not care, those people are still allowed to play and talk to your children. These are just a few, and I mean very few examples of the severly messed up runescape community. I could tell you about thousands more .. but I really do not even want to think about all that is going on in that game. Not to mention that you cannot log into any world at any time without seeing mispelled prfanity and insults. But yet Jagex thinks this will be a great childrens game. LOL! I have always wondered where these kids parents are while they are doing all these things? The internet is no place for children and it certainly is not a babysitter.
As for laziness.... I guess I was too lazy to train multiple accounts to max stats, that I was too lazy to do every quest in the game, that I was too lazy to train every stat to where I could make every item in the game myself.. oh yea I already did that. I guess I am just too lazy to argue with Jagex anymore about what players want and think is fun.. Yea I think I am throwing in the towel after 8 years of trying to get through to them. Rewwards? what rewards.. because this game does not believe in rewards LOL. no instead when you get a maxed stat you get to pay them $ for a stupid cape that instead of helping you not burn manta rays, or helping you chop magics faster it then instead makes countless noobs follow you around asking you to do stupid emotes. Harrassment is a punisjment not a reward. When you get to the skill levels to do the higher level things in the game , it is less profitable, and more time consuming per hour than just doing the low level stuff instead. That is why so few players chop magics, even with 99 wc, no instead they are either at yews or willows because they are better per hour than the items you earned to do. steel bars are more profitable per hour than mith , yews are more profitable per hour than magics...
The reason so many people are angry with Jagex is that they do not know the meaning of customer service, their staff is outright rude. Hope you do not care about your accounts that much because they sure do not care about the time and money you invest into them. Your account is the sole property of Jagex ltd, and they can choose so at anytime to lock it, and ban you from the game without evidence when you do not even break any rules. No, I have not been banned, but last year I witnessed mass wrongful bannings of many law abiding players without evidence and no recourse. They banned teachers for helping students, parents for helping their children, grandmothers for helping their grandsons, clan leaders for giving away clan prizes, and many more players for giving birthday gifts, christmas gifts, and other acts of charity. YES KINDNESS IS BANABLE ON THIS GAME.
They remove posts in their forums not for breaking any rules, but if the posts give their players any ideas that do not follow within the current framework of what they are already planning for their game. Prior to Jagex announcing that they were going to remove trade and the wilderness they were given many more options to stop RMT, tried and true methods that other games have used, but yet they removed those threads stating only" This is a matter that Jagex takes very seriously and we regretfully have to remove this post." They do not want their general player audience to know they have any other options, they are stating in convention interviews where they are headed with this game, but yet they do not bother to tell the players in their own forums.
The report abuse system is so abused that they need to overhaul their entire proceedure and rexamine all past decsions. Here is how their system has worked for years and currentyl works: player A scams Player B, Player B gets upsets and starts yelling at Player A, Player A reports Player B along with everyone else they scammed. PLayer B gets banned, Player A is made into a player mod.
PLayer C insults player D, Player D insults back, PLayer C, and C"S friend Player E both report player D Player D is banned and Player C is made a mod.
The sad thing about this is that I saw it happen so many times in my years with this game that it became " the norm" I knew so many mods that were under 12 when at that time they weren;t even allowed to play the game with it's 13+ age limit. It was really that bad.
Now for the story line and quality of quests. The quests were more like chores rather than "getting into the game" I mean you look at games that cost less than this that have wayy better story lines and you wonder what am I paying for here? The quests in runescape were not challenging , and the AI is poor. After I had completed them all on my maxed character, and I was doing them on my noob with 1 defense and never once encountered the chance of dying, I realized how easy these quests really were. I mean even the highest level monster in the game was so predictable I defeated it 3 times with my nooblet... pked in the lousy cape reward and had to go get it again .. and again .. LOL Nothing in runescape is hard, just time consuming. It is a time sink with no rewards, and once you accomplish all of those in game goals you have it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It leaves you disappointed because all of that work in the game really was for nothing.
My advice: "spit that thing out before you chew it too long!"
You basically just said everything I wanted to say for the past year in one post.
read my 5,6 of what ruins/ruined the game on page 1 of this thread.
Some of the people in RS are just so damn creepy. I remember I had this 73 year old woman that kept asking for me address cause she wanted to send me a sweater she knitted.
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.
I agree with ya!

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!!
