But these snipits of info your referring to are never enough to get a point across lol, there is more to just posting "support/no support". I like to give feedback and explain my choices and why, not just post " this is how it is, just live with it etc". ;)

Plus it's an inconvenience to do two posts that are one post and two sentences on the next, i don't care for forum count so i rather post once with all the details.


Why cant you explain yourself within the post limit?

Im sure you can if you just tried.

Also, how is it inconvenient? You literally have 2k characters to get your point across so i fail to see how anyone cant do that?


Like i stated some of my posts go over by 300 or so, depending on the topic i'm posting about i find it a pain regardless to create another post under it for a sentence, most times i do take shortcuts and boom everyone asks questions or my shortcuts are missing the link to the topic and a forum mod removes my post even tho it is related but it is what it is, so now i add way more words to tie it all together.

Hitting 2k isn't hard, my last post i just did was close to 4k chars. <---was all straight to the point, even did improper sentences to shorten it, if i didn't i would have burned 4,200 chars which is 2 posts and 1 sentence....And as above agree, i would settle for 3k max chars, 5k was just a random pick for those creating threads and to create artwork etc to dress up these old forums to be more appealing.

Everyone is different, just because you don't hit max 2k often, doesn't mean others don't. Thats like me saying people can stop driving cars since i can walk to work, some drive X minutes away, would be a long few days to get to work walking for many ;)

^And i like to compare issues to other issues that share the same motives to prove my points like the above, which can add 1k+ chars, depending on the complexity.

Quality of Life improvements... improve the quality of life. It's not some "sudden need". People have raised the topic numerous times over the years.



I beg to differ as its the first ive seen it and as one can tell i visit the forum quite often.

So one can only surmise that this is one of the first times its ever been suggested.

Thus it just goes back to my original point.

You don't have to beg to differ draco, I'll differ you for free!

Here's two threads where this was discussed this year during the period of several months you had low forum activity.

one
two (bumped for about 10 weeks solid where you didn't post on it once).

Looking less specifically at threads, I can identify these individual posts talking about it too:

For example these posts in Here
One

Two

Three

and I can only assume you saw these because you literally posted on it here

Ok i can see it might have but so have loads of other things like hd osrs, doesnt mean it should happen.

Plus the forums are so old that jagex have all but forgotten about them so gl with it ever happening.

I mean ppl can suggest this all they want but if jagex cbb to acknowledge the existence of the forums themselves, its just going on deaf ears.

I personally would be much more willing to use colours and other codes like bold, italic, underline, etc. if it didn't cut into the character limit.

Not to mention adding images and links! Those eat up quite a lot!

And then there's quoting other posts. So often I have to trim out a massive amount of the quoted post or else I'll have no room left to add my own thoughts.

And I have a (what I consider a good one) habit of using a lot of gaps between sentences in order to make things more readable. That takes up characters, too!

I don't know what number makes sense but I definitely have hit 2000 many many times.

No support.

If you cant say what you want to say within 2k characters then its probably best off not said.

Posts arent supposed to be made into novels just little snipits of info to get your point across.

We might as well delete game content suggestion, future game updates, and guides forum section then. Majority of threads there have opening posts that are more than a page long. Hell, my summoning familiar ideas post is, and yet people complained that there weren't enough ideas to justify raising the level lmao.
