He still gets the experience.

Exactly my point. He gets experience WITHOUT having to work for it! That's why I am against it. A player gains experience points for work he has already gotten points for. He's being double paid experience.

I am willing to bet that this will eliminate most of the mid level ranking skills. In 6 months you are going to see a crap load of 80's - 90's, a crap load of 1's - 30's, and the only ones left in between will be those that are there now with a few that will still try to work their way higher but it's another case of the rich get richer and the poor get screwed.

JAGeX just continues to make the game easier and easier. You're going to see one hell of an increase in 99's.

Im agree with Baakalor, for example a level 40 fishing & level 40 cooking can get 30kxp without move of his place just asking to a friend to train him, then logout and train to his friend back with his new account. Its the same with other skills.

Honestly, for f2p's, this better than nothing (I'm trying to get those 30k daily)

I think im not abusing of the system, just applying it for increase my stats.

...thats what he's talking about... everybody is trying to increase their stats, and this is a new, and quite easy way to do it.

I think it could really help for quests, if your not in the mood to rasie your stats and you just want to do the dang quest then i think it would help.

But people like me would still like to rasie there stats even tho i could use someone elses stats because i dont always want to go look for someone with high stats when i want to do something that i cant to, plus training gives you something to do =)

Just my 2 sense

O.K. I've tested the system and you are mixed up my older counterpart. If I request assistance from you, YOU get the experience, not I. All this update does is eliminate possible scams from trading. say I need 100 raw lobs cooked and I just hit 40 cooking and I don't want to risk burning so many, before you could trade them to a player with a higher cooking level, have them cook them and trade you back. The new way is I would request aid from a player with a higher cooking cook the lobs myself, however HE gets the exp NOT ME. So this update really doesn't make it easier to level, It just makes it safer to have someone do something for you.

I got how this works when the the target of your skills is already able of cook, fish, runecraft and mining and is using the assyst system.

You will not get xp.

You already are sharing your skill on don't burn food, fish quick, runecraft multiple or mining faster.

If the target is fishing 40+ the target will get xp and fish faster. You will not get penalized on earn experience. If you get 30k you will need to wait 24 hours because Assist System is not for train your skill, is for help to your friends.

This applies to those listed above. Check Knowlegde Base for more info.

Don't cancel if you are not getting xp, you are already sharing your skills (don't burn, quick, multiple, fast)

No, you are mixed up as to why I object. Let me spell it out for you.....

Let's pretend I'm an old man who spent time raising my smithing. I can make addy stuff. Now let's pretend you are my younger counterpart who wishes to host a 1500 skill party and you have addy bars but not the skill level to create anything out of them.

You ask for my assistance (which I readily give since you are too busy making money to raise your smithing) and you now have the skill level necessary to make the addy stuff.

Now, I have 2 questions:
1) Who does the actual smithing work?
2) Who gets the experience?

Right said Fred, YOU do the work borrowing my skill level and I get the experience.

That is my complaint. I get experience without doing any work.

Yeah, what about smithing? :\ (I keep my vote on abolish)

I shared to someone today (a friend) that was doing clues on members.
He could buy the smitheable stuff at stores but he didn't. I got the xp.

I had on that time my inventory full of lobbies (we was at thurgo anvil near of mudskipper point) and fally bank was so far. I didn't want to drop my lobbies or trade the lobbies to him temporally. I just shared my skill. On that cases the assist system helps.

As I said, on f2p, this update is better than nothing.

But why?, YOU got the exp and I stood around, now its you stand around and I do the work, plus it adds security to those who don't trust others.
