Your saying it should not be put into the game because you feel YOU will succumb to pressure to do it? So don't let anyone do it because you cant just not do it?

Is that what you are saying?

No. That's not what I'm saying. If it were put in the game I wouldn't do it. I'll just ignore it like it doesn't exist.

I think it's bad for the game.

I think it would be better to have more levels and new content than infinite grinding of things you already did.

I voted no for the prestige system because it did not seem fun at all, I think that a brilliant idea would be to make all skills to 120 because it would give players a goal to get the mastery 120 skillcape because 120 skillcapes are still valued as hard to get so I think this would be great maybe release each 120 skill each month with great knew content to keep people playing and achieve that knew goal.

I like somewhat of the idea of prestige, but not in the sense of starting back over at level 1. If anything I thought it would be neat if once you reached those large amounts of exp, you got a more up to date cape with some particle affects. Then again there are some arguments that could be made to go for the boosted skills bringing them to 120, if anything, at least combat skills for higher level content. We're already to the point of having level 90 gear, shortly we'll see 95 and eventually 99. By then we'll need to boost up the skills for better content and prestige would have gotten in its way.

To put it simply, I voted no because the idea of the end-goal to be nothing more than going back over content that you have already done is just silly, and worse than that, it's lazy. In my opinion, if you really wanted to 'prestige' your skills, then all you'd need to do is create a new account.

I thought the point of the system was to solve the issue of 99ers not getting the respect they are due?

How does making their 99 the lowest possible tier on a whole new level of mastery fix this at all?

Devs and players working together: this is what we meant by "Made by You".


Runefest is coming up, the perfect time to enlist the feedback and thoughts of those females attending for what "we" would like to do in Gielinor. Why not ask us?

I contend that Runescape is not very female friendly. Given a choise, we would rather select a class that nurtures life, rather than a constant butchering of it. It is more appealing to be part of a group in a strong support role, not out front getting the pants beat off us.

We all know who recoils at the word "Class", but read on.

Healer class: very popular amoung females as it is a much less violent way to participate in the game in an important role that is usually much appreciated by the players. Besides, does it make sense that simply walking into a bank heals you up instantly? "Hold on a second, I've gotta stuff my belly with this lobster!", doesn't make much sense either. Most of us try to watch our weight, why encourage binge eating?

Cleric class: most women are very attuned to the 'spiritual' side of things. Having a devout Nun in a group can be very useful for dealing with spirits, demons, angels, undead, blessings and curses, summoned creatures and monsters, exorcisims, incense burning, diety requests and interventions, etc. While not as immediately useful as a Healer, a Cleric can be indispenible! For example…

A low level cleric can "feel" the presence of a fallen player in an area.
A mid level cleric can "see" the ghost (but not speak to) of a fallen player in an area.
A high level cleric can both "see and speak with" the ghost of a fallen player.

Once a player's body is located, time to step aside and let the Healers do their thing.

This, of course, means giving Death some real "teeth" rather than a "gumming".

I've still no idea exactly "what" Divination is supposed to do. Why does a hand-thrown water balloon have TWICE the range of my best bow?!?

As a girl, I see literally no reason for Runescape to be seen as "female unfriendly".

If you have an opinion, make it clear that it is your opinion. Do not make generalizations, as it is both incorrect and rude. Do not say that just because you are a girl, every other girl in the world agrees with you and thinks the way you do. You want to become a healer because you do not like fighting. Do not impose your ideas on the rest of your gender.

I am a girl. I like to fight. I like to kill things, and I would really rather not see any class sytem--let alone a healing class--implemented into Runescape, and most especially not one that is directed solely at women.

Problem?
