Hello everyone :).

RuneScape today is now a bot infested money making method for the cyber-gang mobs over in China, But a few years ago back when RuneScape was enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people daily to a new world was opening, Back when i started playing Runescape about 5 years ago i was 13. Now 18 the differences of RuneScape have seen past me, I had been there to recognize huge updates and changes to keep up with the never ending technology and gaming industry developing games to amazing levels.

Back 5 years ago just reaching into High School it was a privilege to own and train a RuneScape account, The internet in Australia was just becoming the next boom technology and living in a Rural area of country you were very fortune to enjoy such a thing, RuneScape was also in boom mode as the new Java based Online Game was getting vastly recognized by all age groups.

I was one of the many users of RuneScape to get addicted to the game extremely fast. There weren't too many computers that could preform good enough to keep Online Gaming interesting and enjoyable as Lag and computer graphics weren't what they are now.

Just getting into High School you still are in your developing years of education for the rest of your life... But where i grew up, Rural towns are 400kms away from a public school, So we were using Distance Education. A scheme funding by the government to use Radio Stations to send and receive signals from other stations 400kms away with a teacher using work sheets which were sent to you by the mail to communicate with questions and answers. But also living rural means you have cattle and country jobs, Animal mustering and maintaining so everyday there was something to do on the farm and you loose track of the education scheme(And only being new it wasn't encouraged a lot neither).

RuneScape was a daily addiction for me, I loved the game and the values it had. No where near the amount of skills available to train now but because it was a new thing it was amazing how a little world revolves around you and for people to notice from all over the world. Playstation never really did it for me, I guess RuneScape just kept those values about it that is now recognized globally as The No.1 Free Online Multiplayer Game.

In the addiction was something not even recognized for many years on, A thing that never would have occurred to me would help me my entire life. The game was addictive, Getting new friends and chatting about how good your stats are or how much GP you had, but it also was helping me. I started to talk with people more, and enjoy it so you want to start becoming more creative and fun. Adding smiley faces and using exclamation marks to express out loud and Full stops to end sentences, Selling items was manual back then so calculating was always a daily thing so you start remembering common calculations and solve maths easier to help you in the game, Player Mods were gods back then so you admired them and tried to be that God so you started talking to newbies and help them with a quest or some GP and acting more mature, Solving problems and researching answers..

But what was once an online game, Is now something i am soo proud to have been apart of. RuneScape made my childhood enjoyable in a Rural dry and hot place, And with that it had taught me things that I would not have learn't otherwise. It has helped me with Education. The greatest thing in life to preform and acheive. With this i keep with my for the rest of my life knowing I'm able to read, write, add and subtract and live with the city life of Sydney which i have recently moved to.

Thanks for reading, If you have any story's similar please do i encourage you to post it. Everybody deserves to know what the game we now use to trade, Make real cash off and enjoy really did for you.

Nobody here is part of Jagex I don't believe? Maybe try posting on the Official RS forum?
 
I like this post, i've been playing rs since 5th grade (i just graduated high school this year) and in honesty, it was much more fun previous to all the botting and whatnot, :/ now you have to bot to keep up with everyone else who's botting.
 
2006 - No bots, playing legitimately was actually fun.
2007 - Bots came in, ruined RS
2008 - RuneScape was populated with bots
2009 - Playing legitimately isn't fun, and botting ruined the game.
2010 - RS just went d-low.
2011 - I'm starting a damn riot crew on botting.
 
I don't see why people care that others bot =/
Lets just say I bot for a second and Bob doesn't bot

Bob shouldn't care at all that I bot but for some reason he does

Why do people care about botting? That is my question

People sit for hours getting their stats rather then others who just run a bot.

I still don't see the problem =/
Legit players are mad because bots rank up faster then them?
Doesn't matter what the other guys rank is Only matters what yours is

The problem is Legit players get jealous of our higher stats and Get mad because They work and They aren't there


Solution- Legiters stop caring about what other peoples stats are and focus on your own!

Let's say you work for a company and work the same hours as the other guy. Yet, the other guy gets WAY more money then you and you both do the same thing. Would it not piss you off?

Nope I would understand he probably kisses ass and gets raises and I slack off =/

I get what your saying but in the end botters don't have the problem Legiters just have a jealousy problem =/ If every one would not complain runescape would be a better place

Just because bots rank up isn't why people hate them. Runescape used to be a fun environment where everybody would talk to each other. No matter where you went everybody was playing and there was always somebody to talk to. Now if you go to the fishing guild your lucky to find one person legitting to talk to. Bots have effected EVERY aspect of the game, not just peoples skills.

They are mad because you can sit back eat pizza watch a movie, play a different game on the computer while not even look at the runescape client and be making mills, while they have to sit there and slave over their thousands of mouse clicks to make rs gold.

Shorten that up.. They are mad they have to work, and you don't.
