ill never for get when i was a low level noob trying to level slayer and got crashed by H rassy at chaos tunnel fire giants, totally ignored me and did his best to ensure i left instead of sharing, so yeah this has been the way of things forever. you still get some nice people, and you still get arrogant Aholes who think they are hot shit lol


Ironic that this just happend to me the other day: I was farming items for invention, left to bank, returned and a 'n00b' was almost dying trying to kill the monsters. But somehow managed. Asked me I would / could leave and guess... I did.

Oh and if you only have 30 mins because of w/e reason IRL, then ask / write it. I am sure that most mature players will understand and leave.

But just crashing the line at the supermarket because you have an appointment in 1 hour, who does that?

Adapt or quit. There's going to be people who:
a) don't care they are getting a bit less XP while fighting you for a spot
b) don't care about sharing a spot so won't bother to hop
c) generally want to be aggressive and fight for spots
d) some combo of above

It's not a single player game, remember. People will always do what they feel like doing, so if they want to do a crowded activity they will do it regardless of how much you explain/be nice/get them to hop. So either fight for the spot or hop and also remember there's people like (b) who aren't ignorant, they just can't be bothered to hop so they'll stick around. Nothing to do with ignorance in a lot of those cases.

I think the point here is while it might be ideal to have everyone be polite and kind to you, it's just impossible to have it this way. No matter what you do, there's always going to be someone out there that just doesn't do things the way you do (in this case, crashing you without uttering a word). Crashing isn't some new thing that has just now become a problem. It always has been a "problem".

Crashing is not fun, no. But if you decide to use a spot that's extremely populated, you have to accept the fact that people might try and shift you out. We don't live in a world where all humans love and cherish each other. It's quite the opposite.

As for your question about crashing the line at a supermarket because you may have an appointment in 1 hour: some people do try to "crash" and cut corners in queues, it's just not common and most people try to do it silently. Why? There's a potential consequence for doing so in the real world. Confrontation IRL is far more intimidating than it is online, so most people keep quiet and avoid confronting people negatively.

Crashing someone online has no real consequences: anyone can do it so easily. It's not like the human on the other side of the screen is going to pull out a gun, knife or knock you out. Everyone is safe to do and say what they please on the Internet even if it's of negative nature.

Common knowledge Singularity. I know (and agree with) everything you already wrote.

Of course we hide behind the mask of anonymity. Of course the average Runescape player / user is immature. There is no doubt.

My point remains: What you do not do in real life, you dare to do online:

thats just hypocrisy


Come on Singularity, no need to lecture each other, we all know it is wrong, we all do it.

Isn't it tempting to mine that runite rock in Prif? Or that harmless and unarmed / unequipped wanderer in the wildy on the search for a peng.

Not at all. Seems like a waste of time more than anything. There's nothing to be gained from doing any of those things. :s

Another flame and personal attack because yet another player failed to read my previous posts and understand that I am actually the opposite. Bravo!

You ripped two lines out of context. But if we really want to go down that road and have it your way: With the logic of the opposite side, mine defending humanity, theirs stating they have no time and they can do virtually anything they like, that rock belongs to no one and the life of the human being is not being altered in anyway. Or else, with your logic, taking a spot makes the life miserable, same as picking a rock does.

Thank you for not reading my previous posts and putting a label on me!
My true colours IRL belong to decades of humanitarian work, pro bono btw.

^ The way I read his post was not him directly calling you an ahole/coward, but more so that IF you (not you "you&quot ;) were to mine that Rune rock or kill that unarmed wanderer in the wilderness, then you (the person that does it) are an ahole deep down and are too coward to show that IRL most of the time.

I don't think it was meant as a personal attack on you - at least that's not what it sounds like to me. It was more an attack on anyone that does do this (and there are many).

No i wasnt calling 0815 an ahole, just used his/her example there, and tried to tell how everyone doing those things are aholes.. sorry for misunderstanding.

If person sees unharmed rune rock the first idea that pop in their head might not actually be to mine it. Its stupid, person would "gain" a whole 10k or w/e. What other options are there then?

Keep walking maybe? Nooo, aholes will mine that rock just for shit and giggles. The other party tho, ( those mining cc's) end up wasting their time searching for harmed rock because of those aholes actions.

People do such things because.. They can ? In real life if you're rude to a stranger you might spend the next week in hospital. But online you're free of consequence, i guess that's the appeal for people to be smart arses (of course not everyone is like this.)

I wasn't taking anything personal, even IF I was insulted directly. ;)

Merely defending all sides, the ones that do those things and the side that do not. After all some of the participants in this thread made some valid arguments.

Sadly I must tell you guys that IRL this exists even amongst us academnics: A couple of years ago Nepal was hit by an earthquake (I am sure most of you have read about it). We were stuck with 1st and 2nd class evacuation. All the foreigners were instantly hieved out of the country, while the Nepali had to suffer and wait until some old chopper would get them. So as you can see it goes way beyond the supermarket.

As I wrote previously, be the change you want to see in the world, not just virtually but also in real life situations.

Picking a rock or PKing a wanderer was a joke of mine since the side that defends the right to 'claim' a spot would also do, logically, those things. It is controverse to, on the one hand, 'steal' a spot but not mine a rock or PK an innocent bystander.

So I close with the opening, I wasn't taking it personal, just 'claiming' the mandate for those that are indeed as the title of this thread describes. We have to see both sides in life, we have to understand all sides and each other, this is what democracy stands for and in the end the majority wins.
It is still an insult to call those who do the actions names. A flame. An attack. Let us not do this as it does not make ourselves any better.

I hope this made sense to you! Thank you for reading and your attention.
