Good to see randoms will be optional


Question: Should the experience for burying wyvern bones be increased to 72, to match dragon bones?

Is this going to effect using it on an altar or just burying?


Was answered in an earlier page, for anyone else wondering, yes it will match dragon bones xp on altars and other xp modifiers.

.... Really?

You only want to change the verac set?

Why cant you do changes to ahrim/torag/kharil?
Or some of the items? some of them are useless.... and cost under 100k.

The verac set is fine and does not need a change.

Useless barrows items: Ahrim hood/staff Torag hammer kharil coif and torags can use a buff aswell...
They're not changing anything, they're just adding a graphical effect, like Ahrims, Karils, Guthans and Torags already have.

Random events be dealt with
NO! While they are no longer effective against most bots, they are effective against AFKers and auto clickers.. If you are AFKing for extended periods of time you deserve to get killed by a random event. It's no better than botting in my eyes.


Agreed. It's my only concern really - AFKing was against the rules in 07, and AFAIK it was only removed from the rules in 2009 when it became redundant, as the logout mechanics had changed earlier that year to prevent this. I also think that it encourages people to bot instead, and it gives a poor impression of the game to new players. It's bad enough being possible in PvP worlds IMO without it spreading to every world.

Randoms punish ordinary players too often though for them not to be changed, so I may well end up voting "Yes" for the lesser of two evils. :P

At long last the random event poll has come :D

Will be voting yes to everything.


edit: putting this here as well...


Question: Should the experience for burying wyvern bones be increased to 72, to match dragon bones?

So people know that the xp is not making that big of an increase could this be reworded to...

Question: Should the experience for burying wyvern bones be increased from 50 to 72, to match dragon bones?

Also can the PM notification disappearing be changed to 15-30 seconds? 10 is too short IMO and I might miss the notification.

I will be voting absolutely
NO
in this case. Half of the fun is doing randoms once in a while... If you take combat randoms out it just doesnt feel right... Back in the day we handled them. So we will handle them now on also! Eoc isnt what i wished for runescape to become (easy lvling etc), but i missed alot these randoms every random from random teleport to evil chicken... Dont change anything! Or if you have to change spawn rates into less so people can still enjoy them ^_^

I would like to see some more love to some of the more neglected Barrows rewards too. I just wanted to state that I don't think it should influence your vote on this particular poll.

I R a bit torn on the randoms. It can be very annoying to be whisked away by Graveyard Pete when you've spent time and food living through the aggression phase of the trolls at say Death Plateau only to be returned as the target for any nearby troll, or worse the thrower trolls.

On the other hand, who of us hasn't watched in glee as some puir wee AFKer gets hit/loses their equipment/gets teleported by a random at Catherby, it is one of the bright points in the drudgery of fishing...

Certainly those randoms that interrupt combat are an annoyance, and if randoms still have a value, it is only to keep those that AFK on their toes.

I would vote yes to make the non-aggresive randoms optional, but i would vote no to remove the aggresive random events: you can already avoid those by running away, or you can choose to do them for a nice reward. Aggresive randoms also stop people from training completely afk.

Could you change question 1 into two different questions? One regarding making the non-aggresive randoms optional, and the other about the removal of aggresive random events.
