Mystic,
So they dont need to make a knowledge base because there is fansites telling how can you train your skills? I really enjoyed the knowledge base, there is some very interesting things on it. About quests help, i still support it. Its very annoying if you stuck in any quest and as developers of this game they have to help players. I dont think they should hide any information just because fansites have it 2. I dont see it as a cheat, it isnt a walkthrough of the quest. I really dont understand why this is annoying too much people, it isnt changing anything. Most of players dont know 1/100 of "fansites players" know, just check the forums and look how many "dumb" questions are there. Anything really easy to you can be very hard to others.

Pretty much. In fact, some fansites also have recommendations to make your training more effective.

If you're stuck, then it's most likely because of the player's fault. Developers do not have to help players. Otherwise, what would be the point if they keep giving help on something they took time to think and design? Besides, no one is forced to do quests, so no one should force Jagex to give hints.

To be frank, I don't care about QuestHelp. I just find Jagex's decision to waste their time on it, annoying. If they really want to give out hints, they could've added it to the Quest Journal instead.

When it is out of beta stage, they will waste more time on thinking cryptic hints for members quests. Now, that is a lot to take care of. Runescape doesn't need KB or QH at the start. I would prefer Jagex spend their time on more pressing problems. (updates, autoers etc.)

They're not hiding information. In fact, they lack some information.

If you use a money trainer but you don't win the game, you are still using cheat. There's even a reveal spoiler.

I don't know about others. But what really annoys me is the senseless amount of time spent on things. People would be more pleased about new updates instead of a problem which F2P could not have stirred up in the first place and a forum that has existed for a long time to solve this problem.

That really is their fault. Jagex will never put in a fansite directory and prohibits advertising. Besides, there is always a search engine for finding the fansite in the first place.

What is really easy to me that can be very hard for others? Should I expect people to work hard, not smart?

Here's the lowdown: I don't care about the QH, it's the effect on fansites that seems to be the problem. Nobody really cares how easy something is. (with exceptions of course)

Well, i think we both explained our points of view and i still respecting your opinion, but i dont agree about fansites. As i said, not much people know about fansites and to me jagex should "teach" how people can play his game. I agree about some updates should be implemented before this (questhelp).

The people who are most likely to use this are people who would most likely end up going to fansites anyway. So it's not like Jagex is ruining the fun, because these people would look at spoilers anyway. What Jagex is doing is making the spoilers more easily accessible while trying to draw people away from fansites. However, it won't really work, because once the 4 daily point things are gone, people will just go to fansites anyway. The thing I do sort of like is the vague hints, because then you're still figuring out for yourself, so the fun's still there; you just have a little help.

You just admited to going to Rune HQ...

What I see is happening, the new players that are joining RS, won't go to fansites, because hey! They have everything they want on the offical site!

SO, that's only a idea. Obviously, new players will still join fansites, but not at the current rate.

First off this update is aimed directly for the heart of fansites. they are trying to wipe out the idea of people getting the information to quests without thinking... good idea but not good for us. i find that most people in runescape goto fansites for the quest help, now why should they bother when its right there by the screen? wtf i mean cmon there last few updates have been nothing but attacks on us. if it effects us to much then we will have to find another aspect of the game to attract people. and happysniff your a moron.
