I feel certain lower levels are a tarnish on Rs. You know the low levels I'm talking about. The autoer-obsessed, want everything for free kind of low lvl. You can't train a skill without them demanding to know what all your levels are. You might be standing in the bank and they demand you tele them to somewhere. You are ranging some drags and they come and swipe your arrows. You're training and they ask how to do a certain quest. You give them an answer that's not satisfactory, and they brandish you a "noob" before running away. You are fighting five level 80s & one level 33 in CastleWars, who finally overpower you, just before you die the level 33 who never even hit anything shouts, "owned".

"Just turn off public chat", people say. If you do not answer them or ignore them, then you're accused of autoing. Before you know it, Jagex have flagged you as an autoer. Just because you didn't repeat your level again for the 4th time in ten minutes.

Jagex seriously have to shake up some of their rules in order for these people to be punished. Everytime I'm called a noob, I report whoever said it. Then I can only pray that action is taken against that individual.

You feel a bit bothered by the lower level players? Interesting. Why should you feel bothered? You have an ignore function, you can log out, you can teleport away...yet you seem to avoid all of these methods and then you lament about them. Give it a rest.

When they take 'your' arrows, they're really taking the arrows that spawned after sixty seconds, as per the drop-appear rule. In truth it isn't arrow stealing; it's the same principle as someone firing a Partyhat gun at the KBD, and you running under it to take the pretty-coloured hats that appear.

Who cares about your level? You know, you DO have the right to remain silent...(I assume you're from America, and even if you're not you can keep quiet anyway)

If you keep reporting them for them calling you a 'noob', then you'll probably be the one that winds up banned. Since Customer Support is bogged down with more serious issues, it'll tick them off pretty nicely every time you report someone calling you 'noob'. I swear, just give it a rest already. In my book, the word doesn't exist at Merriam-Webster, so if it doesn't exist there it won't bother me.

Just to let you know, acting the way you are won't change anything; just moving on will.

Funny, people at your lvl are quite the same way to me?.. - why do you hate people for being curious? - do you understand why famous people in real life now act like snobs to some people? like you do to the noobs that ask your lvls? - imagine getting asked who you're dating every hour of the day..

QUOTE

Say you want runes for it, it's great xp! - if they won't give you runes. Be polite and say no can't do. And then ignore them if they're being asses.

QUOTE

You are ranging some drags and they come and swipe your arrows.

As Makoto said, that's simply the rules of the game. I do the same if I see good arrows, and I don't care if people cry.

QUOTE

You're training and they ask how to do a certain quest. You give them an answer that's not satisfactory, and they brandish you a "noob" before running away.

So? again, ignore them when they call you a noob. Be a better person.

Smile, and let him be happy!. You will prolly be like him if you 1hit a 126 someday.

You know, Jagex is aware of the functions they put in their game?.. Every auto report is checked before flag or ban. They don't flag you asap they get the report.

QUOTE

Again, as makoto said.. you'll end up getting banned for useless reports.. The word noob is not offensive, it's a way to be. ;o) - and no, people aren't getting banned for saying noob.. that's just people lieing and saying they did. So simple my friend

Who cares if they report you? People tell me they report me all the time, and I just laugh. Jagex has never and will never ban someone simply for not wishing to speak. If you really wanted the, you should've picked them up before they disappear, or range something lower levelled that you can kill faster.

*coughYHELOTHARcough*

No one is going to hold you accountable for having private functions set to non-public. Jagex knows that you've set them there and they *should* judge accordingly.

The rest of the stuff is too petty to really cry about; I can tell you that 90% of reports against a player are general slander.

Just don't let someone walk up to you and say 'reported' and have it freak you out...chances are, they didn't report you or they have nothing credible to report you on.

Runescape is somewhat based on competition. It is not a crime to compare other people's stats. Yet they could always look up in the highscores. Either people doesn't know it existed, or it is the sheer laziness of people nowadays.

If you are skilling in a populated area, you can simply blend into the crowd. You can safely ignore unless it is just you and him/her alone. In that case, I don't think there is a problem with fulfilling their (+polite) request. I've not seen this happen before though (getting reported), maybe you're just unlucky.

There's always bound to be people asking others to teleport them to x-location for free. It's usually done in a bank, where it is crowded. Once again, blend in with the crowd and you will be safe. Besides, Jagex would not ban someone for refusing to give someone a free teleport.

If it's just the annoyance you're bothered about, I don't see how you can't ignore a bunch of words.

Arrow swipers are annoying. But logically, you are exchanging arrows for a more comfortable way to kill, gain xp and earn money. I suppose if you really don't want someone to pick your arrows, you could use the cheaper types. Just ignore the master archer's advice and use the dirt cheap junk.

If you gave someone an answer to the best of your abilities, then it's their choice whether they accept it or not. If they decided to call you a noob, then you'll have the satisfaction knowing they will waste more time getting the same reply. Personally, I would remain silent and not bother to answer them.

There are people who takes Runescape a bit too seriously. Obviously they think owning someone higher than them, no matter how honorable or fair it was, automatically makes them good. It's just the natural feelings we have for our enemies. Just ignore them, it's not worth it.

You've done nothing more than a rant. In time, you will learn to put up with it and just ignore.

--You can't train a skill without them demanding to know what all your levels are.
oh cmon its just making conversation, whats wrong with asking someone what lvl they are!


--You might be standing in the bank and they demand you tele them to somewhere.

ok that would get kinda annoying, but maybe they dont have runes? or dont have the lvl to tele?


--You are ranging some drags and they come and swipe your arrows.

ok i agree here as well, although it is not against game rules, it is not in the spirit of the game, people who "steal" others arrows are just looking for a fight. But often enough if you are nice to them, they'll be nice back, and if not, oh well thats the game, switch worlds. And if you say why should you have to switch worlds? its because you dont want your arrows stolen lol.

--You are fighting five level 80s & one level 33 in CastleWars, who finally overpower you, just before you die the level 33 who never even hit anything shouts, "owned".

Thats just castle wars, [sarcastic] not every 13 year old is as mature as you are [/sarcastic]

--"Just turn off public chat", people say. If you do not answer them or ignore them, then you're accused of autoing. Before you know it, Jagex have flagged you as an autoer. Just because you didn't repeat your level again for the 4th time in ten minutes.

Jagex is a bit smarter than that, dont ya think? half the people who say they got banned for autoing, yet swears up and down that they never auto'ed, never even tried some stupid script even once... is most likely LYING...

--Everytime I'm called a noob, I report whoever said it. Then I can only pray that action is taken against that individual.

and ya might want to be careful doing that, sending in meaningless reports like that tends to get ya into trouble...

There are just soooo many things that I would like to quote but in the interest of "it ain't worth it" I'll refrain. However, I will address some of the issues brought up.

In the first place, your rant is just that. A rant. All it does is open you up for criticism. Quit whining and deal with it. If you get reported, so what? Are you doing something wrong that will support the report? If not, why should you care how many times you get reported?

As for the reporting someone who calls you a noob, feel free until such time as JAGeX tells you it is wrong to do so. Of course, with blackmarks already on your record, you are running the risk of a ban but then, as was said, you had to have earned those marks.

Arrow stealing: What a prickly subject. There is, has been, and always will be at least two schools of thought on this subject.
1. My arrows. I shot them, they're mine.
2. They're on the ground, they belong to whoever picks them up.

I side with the 2nd group here. It's pretty simple: If it's on the ground, it doesn't belong to anyone.

The whole being accused of auoting thing always cracks me up. I turn off public chat in the fishing guild whenever I get tired of the mostly inane conversation that takes place there. I've never been notified of being reported for autoing and I've spent hours there just fishing. Why is it that you have been accused of it and not I? Do you always go to the same spot? Do you continue to try to fish at a spot that moved? Does your character just stand there after his equipment was thrown away? Those are all clues to autoers and if you alter your routine, it will greatly reduce the number of accusations.

Hiscores: Just tell them to look you up if they're so curious. I never answer. I just say, "look it up."

The long and short of it is this, quit your whining and play the game.

"I'm Level 99, That Doesn't Mean I'm Your Slave"

actually, yes it does

Comes along with being a high level, we all have to deal with it.
