LOL. RuneScore. It's amusing at least, and trivial at best.


I see it as neither amusing or trivial

Well, it is here now and people use it. I don't know if I am having a perceptual filter but it seems more people have their examine set to private, so maybe I am not the only one who doesn't particularly like it.

I suppose I am just a tad disappointed as it seems to be encouraging the community to be even more elitist than it already is.

Ideally would be nice to set that part of the examine off. I am also just feeling touchy at the moment as had a good long term member taken by another (famous) clan - he joined it a week ago and has gained 263m xp already ...

How much is P Mod worth on runescore?


Nothing, nor should it be. That's not an "achievement", it's a service.

It's a compliment to be asked, seeing it means the JMods think you'll do a good job, but it's not something that everyone's suited for.

I certainly wasn't; I felt crowded by the extra attention, and wanted to tell people not to talk to me unless they felt like using all the letters in their words. :P Think I lasted about a month before resigning.

If they made PMod an achievement, no-one could get "top" points without being one, so a large section of the community would be hoping/striving for it for reasons not connected to the desire to be useful to other players.

Which would be a Bad Thing.

Highscores/scores/ranking systems are the cornerstone of gaming I dont see why special snowflakes get upset by it.

Haha, well "upset" isn't really the idea I was trying to get across... it's just to do with choice in such a large game really Scret... the choice about whether you want to be a casual player or treat it almost like a professional achievement... so given you choose how you want to play I just feel you could choose what you want to show about your character.

And I suppose what I mean is, I don't look down on those people who do love to get into the hiscores and get the achievements, who get a good sense of achievement from their gaming. I understand the elitism around the game, mastery of it is indeed an achievement. I am talking about the few who also like to sneer at others who are not up to their standard. Maybe I am a snowflake. I prefer to use my brain in my very challenging and highly paid job, and for me rs is relaxation. I make no claims to be a good player. I am indeed mediocre, in terms of the measures. Touchy = special snowflake? Have clannies be told to leave your clan coz you are a "dumb ****" ?? It's only the abusive sort I am talking about.

Just saying there is a place for all kinds here... and hoping that the bad kind of elitism does not prevail.
