Not sure if it is because I was oblivious, or has something changed? My biased opinion is that majority of the people still playing this game are veterans who have spent/wasted countless hours on Runescape. Deep down they hate themselves for the time wasted, and feel the need to take out their frustration on others. Whether its a subconscious decision, it makes it difficult for newer people who try to enjoy the game for what it is.
Only annoying one about cache is people who go cres are never north lol everyone stays south because of the proximity between confused and enraged, south yields better cres runs and North yields better memory runs. Also no one really goes clockwise either as cres. Far better than anti clockwise.
