I have no idea why MTX piss so many people off. Rs3 is old, there are already 100s of people with 200m exp in skills why does what other people do concern you? I dont use MTX and honestly dont care if others do, it helps pay for the game I play more power to them. Doesn't take away from the countless hours I've spent grinding on my account at all. No need to rely on others for validation. I threw a vote for rs3 iron man as well, been tempted to start one myself.

If I make one, we can be friends. I would really love if they suddenly came out with group ironman as well.

This all day long. I was EXTREMELY ADDICTED to Rs2 right before that god forsaken.......we don't say it's name around here..........combat system was released.

I looked at the game.
Went all around, took screenshots.
Made a thread full of RS3 screenshots.
OSRS players were saying how great it looks.
Max settings and ultrawide screen in camera mode.

Looking good.
But if you don't like RS3 high quality graphics, they also have potato mode for your familiarity.

If you're turned down by the idea that $5000 could halve someone's time to get maxed... then... here's a tip.
Rather than complaining about what other people waste their money on, stop caring about what other people do.
That guy who spent $5000 on keys on RuneScape did so because he had the money for it, and not the time. Not everyone can play 14 hours a day, every day.
Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you like to go out for dinner? Do you like to watch movies?
Odds are, you spent more than him on useless shit. You just spent your money on different useless shit. Does that trigger me? No, I give 0 fucks about what you do.
That guy dropping $5000 probably provided more funds to the game in a couple years than you did in the 10-15 years you played.

If you don't like RS3's combat mode.... then how the fuck do you like OSRS combat mode? Honestly.
RS3 literally gives you the same combat mode available on OSRS - Legacy combat mode.
They give you skills, each with different attack animations, which adds visual interest to the game.
Do you like skills, but don't want to mash buttons? Full revolution allows you to automate EVERYTHING.
Not sure what order to arrange your skills? Wikipedia provides a list of the optimal arrangement for different situations.

basically what I was trying to say only articulated much better.

TH does not get you very much actual experience unless you spend large amounts of RL cash and abuse promotions. Most experience comes in the form of "bonus" experience and again not that much unless you spend a ton of cash. Very, very few people have that kind of cash to dump on a game and if you want a feeling that you are getting an "achievement" for playing the game that you don't get because you think other people get an unfair advantage then you can use iron-man where it has its own high scores and cannot abuse the micro-transactions.

You can buy bonds with RL cash and sell for in game currency on ScapeRune and that should only be obtainable through time and experience so your argument is completely irrelevant. Also, unless they have finally come to their senses and completely removed it, you can tape down a key on your keyboard to AFK NMZ or splash mage or some other form of AFK for 6 hours of exp before it auto logs you on ScapeRune thus not even playing the game for max stats in various skills... This is not possible in RuneScape. The in clock for time played means nothing and as far as I am aware no one but you can see it.

Boy am I glad this forum isn't completely filled with Rs3 haters

????? there's about 6 RS3 players on this sub forum. The rest hate it. Where you been lol
