Hmmm.
I can only say at present that this update hasn't personally effected me and I have no idea whether or not it ever will. Personally, I seriously doubt it.
I couldn't care less about any other players making a lot of cash for nothing. That's none of my business and since I don't want money for doing nothing, I don't feel left out.
However, since I'm utterly clueless about how this will effect the RS economy and other players, I'm simply withholding any judgment about this update until I see what happens in actuality over time rather than theory.
Neutral on all counts there.
What I'm NOT neutral about, however, is some of the pathetic rants going on. I freely admit I've been a moron in the past in the forums - but thankfully learned (well still am learning
) my lesson.
The attacks on Mod Mark are idiotic and ridiculously over the top. (Even if we assume he had done something wrong, which I don't personally doubt, how the hell does that justify the incessant flaming?)
It's ironic that even in a game human nature in all its idiocy is still shining brightly. Blame one man for a decision of an entire company?
Right. Off with his head.
It's insane, childish and probably the most pathetic bit of abuse I've seen flying in the forums in a long time. (And that's saying a lot.)
I'm all for debating, critiquing, and arguing about updates that don't go down well...but character assassination and abuse are absolutely out. Whether it's a moderator or not.
People whine about the 'unfair' element of the update: others gaining wealth for doing nothing.
Yet I find it ironic they see nothing unfair about blaming one poor fellow for a decision made by an entire company. (A decision which, mind you, is being abused thoroughly yet no major negative long-term effects are even apparent so far.)
Anyhow, it's too late to put it all in a nutshell, but I support this thread
