Are you kidding me again? The Nexus is aimed at members with low level Prayer, a demographic which doesn't even exist.

Then something must be wrong with the hiscores list, because I see plenty of members with low prayer levels on there.

Most people I know start out as F2P before subscribing after a certain period of time. I was 52 Prayer when I subscribed. When it was released I didn't even bother to try it out because I didn't see a point. This is what makes the Nexus utterly, utterly, useless. It could have had so much potential as a F2P update.

Oh I agree, that would be an alternative to keep it a team activity, by allowing F2P access. But not everybody starts out as F2P. Sure that seems to be the bulk of players, but it's not everybody. And as I said I went to check it out myself when it was released, and I saw plenty of lvl 200 players there doing it. It's a social way to get a chunk of prayer xp, not to mention it's FREE. Which, since as previously mentioned prayer can be one of the most expensive skills in the game to train, a free way to get that chunk of xp is nothing to be sneezed at.

Please tell me what world you saw 20 players at. I hopped three worlds and saw no one.

They weren't all on the same world. My bad for not making that more clear. But as I said, I was hopping world s . This just reinforces that more people would do it if it wasn't a team activity.

Whenever something is released, the first two or three days will have people checking the update out out of curiosity. But after that, if nobody, or next to nobody , does the update, it is dead on arrival content.

And as I said, I played it when it was first released, but it wasn't in the first few days - it was in the first week. (cont) My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.

Okay, there's a lot of things we clearly don't see eye to eye on.

*takes a deep breath*

I don't deny that PvM is a big part of gameplay. And so are D&D's. Heck, if you look at the requirements list for the trimmed comp cape, a good portion of them are there. And there's a whole subforum dedicated to just D&Ds, for pete's sake. And clans.
Okay. Do you agree with me, then, that there has been an overemphasis on D&Ds over new quests and lands? Besides the inconsequential part, this is my next main gripe.

In a game where there are players who seemingly only play in order to grief other players, that's huge.
Okay. I don't see how an update like this compares with updates like quests or in-game events though. That was my main point several days ago.

I don't and likely never will understand this argument. It's nonsensical, to be honest.
It seems that you really don't understand the point of the lodestone update.

There are currently two types of players in the game (generally speaking, please don't argue technicalities with me). You have the kind of player which played Runescape the way it was meant to be. The player who plays for enjoyment or with friends, and gets a sense of achievement from the time and effort he puts in.

Then you have the player who is in it only for instant gratification. "No exp waste" is the way to go. Everything revolves around maxing out ASAP, and collecting as much GeePee as possible, because it's GeePee, and GeePee's are to be hoarded, or something. And they'll do anything to achieve that, be it buying gold from RWT sites, or buying in-game advantages, or cheating or scamming other players. I like to call this the MapleStory complex - that pathetic excuse of a game is made purely for this kind of people.

On to the rest of what you said about the lodestones.
Original message details are unavailable.
You forgot the slayer ring, introduced back in 2008. And the lodestone still has to be unlocked before use, requiring players to travel there via other means at least once. The SoF Slayer Mask only allows two teles per day, AFAIK. And the area is dangerous to low levels, so it's not like they'll be tele'ng there after starting. All of which means the other methods aren't going to be abandoned or "totally, totally destroy(ed)."
With all due respect, pointing out teleport options that I missed out is irrelevant.

Anyway. Does running from Varrock to Canifis (now that there's no quest requirement) take a lot of effort? I think not. Do the ''exp waste'' prods now have easy access to training spots like the Phasmatys allotment patch and the Slayer Tower? Yes they do! Now they can avoid having to get the Ectophial, among other things! But no, existing teleport options are not totally destroyed. Wrong choice of words.

Ahem. Piscatoris hunting area. Summoning obselisk. Piscatoris mine, one of the three places in RuneScape where three iron rocks can be mined without moving. Phoenix lair. All within that area. Again I remind you that just because you don't like it/don't do it doesn't make it insignificant.

And another method alternative to fairy rings to this area already existed since 2008: the unlimited teleports the spirit kyatt provides. That didn't affect Fairy Tale II.

And honestly, the Fairy Tale set of quests isn't *just* about the fairy ring network. Not to dismiss it, because it is significant, but there's so much more to the quest series than that!
Why are you telling me this? The issue here is about the excessive ease of transportation. Pah, next thing you know, those ****tards will allow access to Zanaris without completion of Lost City.
