When I think about it, the main thing I dislike about splashing is not the xp gained by the player, but the fact that I see so many players doing it in places that I don't want to see them doing it....

They are a nuisance on my screen, doing a nonsensical repetitive motion and that's what annoys me. To purposely fail.... it is sooooo not in the spirit of the game.

Also, from my viewpoint they are doing the exact same as what a bot does - they set themselves up so they can gain xp for 6 hours without being present in person. The fact they are using the game mechanics, and not a third party software to do it is just a detail. The concept is exactly the same.

Why not introduce a Splashing Island for these wannabe botters? (have a few crates of rotten tomatoes placed there for visitors).

As for NMZ - I think it's a great minigame, and just a shame that players abuse it.

I guess if there was a way for Jagex to tell if someone is afk, and deal with that, then perhaps they could restore some integrity into what is still an amazing game.

Honestly, I believe we should get membership credits back since we can't play. Most of my clan get on, ask about the servers, then get off. No bossing is occurring due to this horrendous lag. I'm not asking for a year worth of membership refunded but at last 5 days since the attacks have occurred. It's so bad in every world, hunting is impossible, and runecrafting is a joke to attempt to do.

Well Here it is everyone becoming runescape experts and data experts when in reality were all guessing on what we think we know. Sure we can watch this lookup this and do that that's fine and dandy. I personally believe we would all rather think we know everything instead of looking at each other sitting down. Figuring out a solution a long with jagex I want to state i've never seen jagex so involved with the community itself before so props to jagex for putting forth an effort to ask. All of us to come together pures mains skillers everyone. I don't care if you use that content normally or not we all feed into the community we all play this game. Here we are though arguing with each other instead of being more willing to help find a solution. Personally i've seen prices drop and raise but is that not all part of the game. The G.E market fluxes like it always has and always will. A main goal were having here is trying to please everyone and well wouldn't you know you can't. Do that when everyone feels the are entitled to everything. Everyone take a step back look at the problem sit down talk to each other look at things and when were all more educated in the situation and whatever its effects are. We need to then talk about it and come together to find a solution to the issues we currently have going on. First of all the DDOSING is a massive issue that jagex needs to focus on. While they focus on fixing a serious issue we should work on talking with one another being more involved in not the game but. The community as a whole sure we all love enjoying the game but without getting involved with the community we tend to shout out opinions quickly without following situations or informing ourselves of current issues. Just a quick thought everyone enjoy there day and SCAPE ON

I've killed zulrah over 4500 times and i have probably made about 400m + profit.

You lose nothing on death, not sure thats true it costs money to kill it you know. At least 20-30k a kill sometimes more for some players and thats no way near as much as any other boss

I think its a balanced drop table given the fact its a 2-3 minute a kill boss and requires high attention to kill it, players who dont kill it often or kill it at all seem to not understand the real problem of zulrah, it is NOT the drop table!

Believe me it takes so much attention and consistency to really profit from zulrah which takes it toll, if a player wishes to grind a boss 10 hours a day all week it should be rewarding, its a solo boss there isnt many?

The real problem being is, its so easy to get to. I teleport to zulrah, I kill zulrah, I duel ring to clan wars, bank and into the portal to refresh my stats, repeat.

NOW imagine if you could do this for say sara, many people can solo sara and im pretty sure if i had a zilyanna teleport, it would be a problem to. Make it harder/longer to get to zulrah, longer walkway, remove teleports completely or make them rarer, The idea of mabye kill-count same as godwars? i'm sure we a community can come up with something imaginative.

Nerfing this boss's drop table will make a great update into a pointless one in my opinion and i dont think zulrah should become pointless.

It has its benefits killing zulrah and i am not saying any of this for my own benefit, just the truth.If i grind another boss all day its not as profitable i can admit because its so easy to get to, if there was no kc at godwars i would be camping there all day in complete honesty.

CONCLUSION = ZUL*AH EASIEST BOSS TO GET TO

Splashing is obvious, lack of attention needed is 0, it's cheap and hey even a world for it, 6H anyone? Remove it, or say after 30 mins of splashing you get no xp. Polling this would not pass, you should take this one into your own hands imo.

This ddossing crap is getting out of hand, earlier today i died & lost over 5m worth of items. I know thats not much, but its really upsetting when you die to a flipping lag. It started lagging badly right as i hit the skele wyvern, didnt lag at all before that. It kicked me out, then i logged back in & bam all my stuff is gone..

Mod Mat K, if you know who these people are since you banned their accounts, why don't you seek legal action against them? There attacking you and ruining the game for everyone. Not including that DDosing is classed as a terrorist attack in America which has a minimum of 10 years behind bars. Show these punks you're serious and press charges. Pirate Boss |

I lost my items in these attacks.
Everyone knows that jagex did not have even a plan to fight them their plan is to harm their innocent consumers as it does now.
This plan was adopted when came the anti-bot system and now so hackers are doing the party, I agree should have puni**, but many of them use bridges and live and countries that do not have any legal action or extradition to Europe, USA or England .

So the solution is to search tool and mechanism to stop these attacks.
A further partial solution is the company unban these players so they can stop by the attack because it is harming all the other players.

I can say that legal action has neither a way to be stopped because observe the case against piratebay, was a court case billionaire of industry and did not reach a verdict and not the alias piratebay is still there working.

If neither Sony with PSN nor Microsoft with Live that are world leaders in technology took hackers living attacking the pioneers server technology you think Jagex a small company could catch these offenders?

I doubt very much, but I wish the game back up and running immediately, I hope the jagex observe the problems run as players losing items.

other players complaining that are invading your private data is not only a simple DDOS attack on the server for packages in Socket java game, but a direct attack on connection and server data.

Jagex'm begging you, do Backup urgent of all data and put on a separate disk without the internet connection in order to preserve the data of the players. Old School - Loxorion
