     You're right, they can't go much lower.

    Gah, even if there are not really 190k people playing, all that means is that noone steals my yews, right?

     

     

    That's not the point, the point is that they're lying about the actual number of people playing as a way to trick new people into joining.

     

    There's 150 worlds, 163, though, 'appear' to exist. This is not true.

    Notice there's rarely less than 500 people on a server (If ever, I didn't really look.). My suggestion is that there's a minimum number of players, 4-500, and all the additional 'players' are added on.

    I also hope you realize that they did these changes because of the problem with Real-World Trading, and for the most part it's been quite effective. RWT would have 'screwed' the game a lot more than these updates have if something hadn't been done.

     

    Wrongo. RWT is just as alive and active as it was before. They even added a new option in addition to selling you gold, training your account for you. So gold costs a bit more per mil, the RWT goes on just as strong as before, if not stronger with the new "let us train your account" Option.

    I don't think there are many mature people who play the game anymore. To be honest, the majority of mature people have quit and moved on to other games. When I first started playing runescape 5 years ago, there were a lot of mature people willing to help out newer players. Of course there was always some scammers and immature little kids who would say stupid stuff but the majority of the community was decent. I made a lot of good friends back then. Too bad barely any of them play anymore.

    After all of Jagex's updated for little kids and their marketing towards teens and kids under 12 years old, the community's overall integerity has deminished over the years. Now it's just full of immature people who insult each other and get into the most stupidest fights ever.

    
     

    I agree, They alienated so many good organizations with their updates that the largest portion of their membership loss was not in bots, but in families, clans and groups of players that helped other players in the game.  When  Jagex started banning grandmothers for helping their grandkids, and teachers for helping their students the game has been all downhill since then. Many parents were banned in that witchhunt for helping their children. Most adults expect more from customer service than Jagex is willing to offer, so I think that is the biggest problem in the community. They are gearing their game for self centerd selfish players and that is exactly what they will get. People who care nothing for others and do not know the meaning of respect. Even when I logged in recently to do some tests on the new graphics, I was verbally assaulted several times by several different players on differnent worlds. For what reason? I have no idea.. I did have a few members items still on my character so they immediately start asking to buy my acount and when I refused I was verbally assaulted with them mispelling profanity at me. When I hopped worlds seconds after I log in I have some kid calling me a nerd and a loser because I was on my high level character... though I never said a word to them. From what I have seen the game and the community has gone way downhill in recent times and would take a major overhaul of the game itself in order to change that

    
    

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I went to castle wars, and every player I fought just ran away instead of fighting me. Anyone who couldn't win when they did fight me just called me a nerd repetitively or swore at me. I used to be a player mod about a year ago, and I still report people, so I can imagine how many people get banned by me per day. Just yesterday I was on my Ranger Pure "Ranger Simi" and this person wanted to fight me in the duel arena. After I crushed him, because Ranger Simi a pure (duh), he came after me with curses, nerd, noob, idiot, fool, jerk, loser and a pleathora of other insults. Nobody can take losing gracefully anymore. Once in a while I'll fight a lvl 90-138 who actually has some respect and doesn't shout "Noob" as soon as they die, but that's becoming rare.

    Ruining Castle Wars...

    

    Now, they went ahead and ruined my favorite minigame, castle wars. I really liked castle wars, and it was one of the main reasons I was still a member. It makes it even easier to run away, harder to cade and capture people, so level 60's win the game simply by running away faster than you can catch them. Add to that the lag and worse placement of things in the game than before the update, and you just can't kill them. I remember a level 100 ancient barraging me 4 times and then attacking me, but failing to kill me even after 4 ice barrages which would've normally been enough to freeze me long enough to finish me off. Yet he didn't. Why? Because I caded him every time he barraged me and ran off again. It was then I realized that they had ruined the only good minigame left. I purposely went back and apologized and let him kill me for the sake of justice, he should've killed me to begin with.

    Now, the prices for many supply items are messed up because of the GE (See Graph), many of the high levels quitting has caused a massive drop in the expensive items, with no demand to buy them, and the forums becoming an entire trash heap of ignored complaints, spammers, and people who counter everything you say just to piss you off.

    TBH, I'm not so sure I feel secure with RuneScape's Software on my computer anymore either... I'm thinking about writing a program to decrypt RuneScape's datafiles to see WTF is in them. I'm not so sure they're safe anymore. I mean come on, WTF would Jagex need 70 MEBIBYTES on my computer for?

    

    I'm wondering if Jagex is becoming just about as trustworthy as their members are.

• • Where can I find MATURE people?

  • There's several reasons for the immature community:

     

    1. The game is built to be playable by immature people, and therefore it is where immature people congreagte.

    2. A large portion of the mature players have quit because:

         a. They are smart and recognize bad updates.

         b. Suggestions to improve the game are bashed into the ground by immature players.

         c. They can play less restrictive games, and do so. Immature players cannot figure these games out, and stay on runescape.

         d. The higher level you are, the more you are pestered by these immature people.

    3. The rather restrictive yet poorly made (It blocks words it shouldn't, but lets quite a bit through) chat filter seems to encourage profane language.

     

    There's others, but I'm not the type to make long lists of statements bashing people, so I'll stop there.

     

    I, too, have quit. I hit level 126 and decided that I'd had enough of this immature grind-til-you-drop game.
