Oh I suspect we'll all get the levels.

Another one not ranked nearly as high as the senior who's been playing over 20 years, lol. Even lowly me have you outranked in a handful of skills (farming is boring, eh? To each their own. I happen to find wasting resources to die multiple times for the sake of saying I did it unappealing, but that's me.)

So, all we need is hundreds of millions of gp? (currently 830M+)

Yeah, I want a purple p-hat too.

And a pony! rotfl.

No one is unwilling to do work.

Looks like more than just me have zero interest in arbitrary bossing as part of it.

Have a nice day now.

had to add: whoops! when looking up/totalling the cost of the 95 gear, forgot to add in guard and lantern, lol! (old people are forgetful, besides being just slow in general. Ah well.)

It is billions, currently clocking in at 2.1B for raiment and weapons.

Bless your heart, dear. "Just" buy it.

Kind of like "just boss".

Presently lvl 113 Necromancy. Halfway to 120.

Im sure I would be higher if I had T90 equipment. I dont need T95 equipment because I cant boss anyway. I can get to lvl 120 with lvl 10 Necromancy equipment killing skellies in Edgeville dungeon.
The cost means nothing.

At this point Im thinking about cancelling my membership as soon as I hit 120 and using free to play as a chat program to keep in touch with friends and fool around with skills I can work on there. Let the bossers pay to play.

I wont be able to post here but Jagex doesnt care anyway.

I suggest they add jumping off a high building to the Necromancy achievement diary.

Also bring back pking everywhere except banks.

Remove the ability to opt out of PVP.

Just do the work ????

Have you even considered the fact that there could possibly be PEOPLE that cant boss due to physical limitations?

Hooray For Me......... And The HE__ WITH YOU

Hopefully Video games will soon fall under the purview of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

CVAA:

(v) Operable with limited manual dexterity. Provide at least one mode that does not require user fine motor control or simultaneous actions.

Examples: Digital UI navigation (move highlight a UI item at a time, rather than move a cursor). Avoid simultaneous inputs (pressing two things at the same, holding down one thing while pressing another, etc).

kills

There are two extra requirements that don’t apply to chat itself but do apply to any information needed to use the functionality (instructions, prompts, button labels etc):

Avoidance of common epilepsy triggers
Ability to pause any moving text




The above makes me wonder if Jagex could possibly lose access to all or part of its American Market?

Should non Bossers AND the Handicapped non BOSSERS NOT be ACCOMMODATED?

Lameclod, I had an epiphany last night after posting to the Capt.

The level of toxicity with this dismissive attitude manifests in so many ways, and Jagex responding to it enables the entitlement that goes with it.

Many of the "screw you, just boss" people are simple grinders themselves, but just with a different kind of clicking.

They often have billions to play with, because they're not piling up 10K ores or rockfish, they're piling up multimillion gp boss drops to sell to peons who should save up enough _____ of their clicking to "just buy" what the bosser so benevolently makes available to them at market price.

Updates are catered in more ways than one, and every update comes with its market upheaval, some temporary, some permanent.

I am thinking of the mining update, where fallout for skillers included the complete crash of coal for a good period of time. Previously, an ore gathered via tending your kingdom fetched 3x the cost on the GE, but suddenly high lvls needed luminite, and some felt their time was too valuable to collect it.

Okay, just throw the coal in the bank, and it will come back. It did.

Something else happened though, and here's where the light went on for me: for six weeks, onyx was available in the Prif gem rocks. Not an outrageous drop rate--I didn't grind it much, but got a couple, and made my own Luck of the Dwarves, which was fun.

But the stuck-pig squealing and screaming from the people who had previously been the major suppliers of onyx--from their different grind clicks--caused the update to be reverted for the gem. Even though everyone mining in Prif had already passed the gatekeeping to be allowed to use it.

The wiki notes it had to be removed because "too many were entering the game".

Any is too many for those who grind click in millions and billions, instead of hundreds of thousands at a time.

And it only took six weeks for the bossers to get their market corner on onyx back.

The billionaires upset the market with Invention, by buying up TT items to grind their levels for the cape, and many are still now a wait-and-save for players with a different economy, who may just want to WEAR the fun thing, instead of take it apart or feed it to a baby troll.

Oh well, just do clue scrolls and eventually maybe you'll get the thing you'd like.

Just buy it.

With an up-to-the-minute system and a never-fail connection, I might someday justify the collossal waste of time and resources (to me) of dying multiple times to study an animation (puzzle), and practice clicking just so with ticks (and no lag!) to grind resources at that level.

probably not, though.

If you do suspend your account (and I hope you don't--this is not the first and won't be the last that combat junkies get first nod, and everyone else can adapt or suck it up), please do formally notify the company of how much you've spent here over the years, and include an estimate of the value of your hours at your employed billable rate from before retirement. Your time had monetary value in the real world far beyond a monthly membership fee.

Let them see what walked out the door, and tell them why.

I worked in sales for many years, and while the big-ticket customer is always exciting (like onyx; and now hydrix--another bosser exclusivity in the economy of billion-grinding. Was it to make up for miners getting a brief chance at an onyx? "Sorry! Sorry! Won't happen again sir!!" "See that it doesn't!" lol), it is the faithful average people in their dozens (hundreds, thousands) that keep the lights on.

It seems profoundly stupid to me to try to force something that some can't do, and some don't like.

And to do it by locking all gear past lvl 60 in the new skill behind bosses is not only insulting from a gameplay aspect, but from a market one.

Yeah, start saving for those t95s. Bossers need more billions.

Oh, and when checking the dates on when the bossers got their "rights" to onyx back? As an amend to so briefly allowing (some) skillers access, not only was the stone removed from Prif, the cost in the Tzhaar shop was astronomically raised at the same time.

"So sorry Sir! Sorry! May I have another?"

I slightly edited my above post while investigating a few things.

Jagex not being an American company may exempt them from following certain regulations.
Those same regulations my stop American companies even considering from buying them.


There are a few players I would trust to access my account to do the things I am unable to do for myself but I will not break that rule.

One being a very famous player (unnamed} that as a child lived in a town a few miles from me and as an adult worked in the town I live in.

No one has or will play this account other than me.



Lameclod, look up the United Kingdom's Equality Act.

It is analagous to the ADA in the US.

TY......Ive also Heard of that

Original message details are unavailable.
I think it's great necromancy was made so you don't "have" to fight to advance the skill. I wish the same applied to advancing the armor and weapons.
If you advance the skill without fighting, then what do you need armor and weapons for?
