I'm training and an old man comes. He either hands me 120 coins or a box which if i open grants me 120 coins, and I'm expected to be thrilled? I mean c'mon the drunken dwarf who hands out a beer and a kebab? A dum woman who hands out sandwiches? What's the point of these worthless little random events? Nothing special is gained and they don't do anything to help against autoers. If you ask me, random events need to be slapped to either be more exciting, give out more rewards, or have more of a point. the only ones that give out decent rewards are the maze and the pinball machine, which are only mediocre.

why does jagex even bother with them?

I apologize for a mistake I had. I accidentally put runeweb instead of jagex in the original post so I am changing that

They are used to stop autoers from getting away with what their doing, hence being teled away from where they are training.

120 gp is better than 0 gp :\

I disagree on both counts. Sure most of the rewards are "nothing special," but there are some that are desireable. And they DO help against autoers. If nothing else, random events stop the autoers from doing whatever task they were working on.

If they made all random event rewards desireable, don't you think autoers would write their macros just to ensure randoms show up so they could collect the rewards?

We bother with them because we are denizens of RuneScape, the realm in which these randoms dwell.

In truth, I'd rather take these randoms than fatigue.

True, this events are less annoying than fatigue, specially before slepping bags. And randoms are made to stop autos, rewards are just a try to crying people stop complaining about it.

I wouldn't say all random events are good. Some teleporting ones could be harmful, if... let's say it teleports me away from a Dragon Platelegs drop.

I don't really like random events now. They seem to be doing more harm and inconvenience to legit players. Some rewards aren't too bad, but that's just about it, when you find yourself getting more Frog Tokens than needed.

so true though that are just annoying really i reckon they should be the same till you reach lvl 70 or sumin then you just get lesser events (not lesser monster)

I thought it was odd when being asked by a level 120 at abby demons, "quick what is a baguette?" But think about it; if English isn't your first language, some of these radoms could be really tricky.

What annoys me is getting the box from the old man when say... I'm maging an iron dragon, and the next drag auto-attacks!!! The boxes multiply and there is no room for drops. Gah! Frustrating! Have to try to run to a far corner just to clear the boxes. The boxes seem to come at the worst time.

Other than that, the changes to the houses have improved what peeved me the most. Untradeable items. Just a waste of bank space I always said. Worthless ****. Not as much an issue now, but just the same. Who cares if I've got full zombie anyway? Drop the junk.

And ya, as Free4ever said, I've gotten half keys from the old man before as well, just very uncommon.

no no I have made a mistake. I didn't mean to post saying runeweb. I meant to say jagex. So I sincerely apologize to those who may have been offended by this and I will replace it in the original post. I apologize.

I agree with you 100% fatigue was terrible, ineffective and annoying.

randoms often come at bad times, like getting the sandwich lady at dagganoths .

I personally hate it when the old man shows up while I'm trying to PK, and if I'm getting ranged or something, I'm pretty much dead because I don't want to get teled and lose a kill.
