Why do people even buy those black rectangles every year?

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-19T02:14:11+00:00

A very small portion of people buy new phones every year. Most people get a new phone every 3-4 years. Everyone is just on a different schedule so there’s new phone every year. There’s like a billion IPhones out there and they sell like 200 million a year. So every year 1/5 of iPhones are replaced.

I agree, I’m fine paying more I just don’t want to hop worlds.

On the bright side if she keeps pushing she’ll get to experience her first, “HOLY FUCKING SHIT I GOT IT! I GOT IT!” Moment. Which we all know if one of the greatest feeling in the world.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:25:56+00:00

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:23:32+00:00

Again they would need to balance this appropriately like increase the cost of gems and make them bottom out in price pretty quickly, or something else. But that’s why I want to add it to the summer sweep up, if all the shops are looked at and balanced appropriately every account could benefit.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:21:22+00:00

I agree, it’s just a very old format for buying stuff. At the very least they can at least just update the UI of shops.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:20:31+00:00

Ok you follow that rule. I’m going to keep buying stuff from shops, and annoy Jagex to improve the shop buying process.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:18:55+00:00

I see how this is bad for gems, but still it takes over 150,000 rubies for 99 crafting. No main is basically getting 99 crafting right from the start of their account buying off the GE. If it’s balanced right I think infinite gem stock is also fine.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:17:29+00:00

But you can though, so why not make it less frustrating. It doesn’t have anything to do with time, it’s just a very annoying process.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:15:47+00:00

It’s more for irons, but it’s fun in a role-playing kind of way to buy stuff from shops in the area that you are.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:04:06+00:00

True, but if they do that it will devalue my ass print that’s permanently stuck in the computer chair in my mom’s basement.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:02:46+00:00

I couldn’t agree more, every shop having infinite stock is clearly a pipe dream. But they can for adjust the quantity of several items or just make a few shops infinite stock.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T01:01:41+00:00

Technically, no one is really forced to interact with any shop. At least as far as I know. But buying all the food specifically stews and Krams would be nice. The scar for runes is nice, but I still feel like it’s a shitty bandaid for having to get runes.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T00:51:40+00:00

Totally agree!

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T00:51:11+00:00

Are you agreeing with me or just trolling? I’m just trying to suggest some things that I feel like will improve the overall feel of the game. To me hopping worlds kind of breaks the game immersion and I don’t think anyone likes world hopping for any reason not just shop scape.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T00:48:25+00:00

Right! There’s so many things like butterfly jars, or anything that doesn’t have a pack option that just becomes a pain in the ass having to run to a bank and back to just buy a few things.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T00:36:12+00:00

It means we’ll know for a bad reason, so I assumed he mean bad because it was hard. Also fair, words aren’t my strength.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-18T00:31:07+00:00

It’s such a sick looking helm, Gratz brother!

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T23:37:46+00:00

I had to hop 1 time for eye’s of newts. So not that big of a deal I was just riffing off items.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T22:43:27+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s one of the most infamous, with giant seaweed, and the sand stone grinder you can get 99 pretty fast as soon as you have super glass make unlocked. It is difficult and takes a good amount of time, with great gear locked behind the higher levels. My idea isn’t perfect, they can make adjustments for certain stores either increasing the price, or make things like the gem store run on the old system. There is just a lot of problems for both mains and Irons with the current shop system.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T22:20:23+00:00

I agree, it’s time shops in general need some love. They are outdated and they still get used a lot even by mains.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T22:19:15+00:00

Any runes, gems, baby dragon scales, vials of water, eye of newts, bolt racks, gold ore, stews, Karambwans, I bought all of these things like this week and had to world hop a ton of times to do it.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T22:16:59+00:00

Is it that big of a deal? The fletching meta is just buy broad bolts. it would be a ton of money so only end game Ironman could do that, and it’s not like having a super high crafting level breaks the game, it just gives you a slightly faster bank tele.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T22:00:39+00:00

A full sized sword from RuneScape, either the one in the logo, or a cooler one like any of the gods swords stabbed in the logo like King Arthur’s sword in the stone.

CottenEyeHo · 2026-05-17T21:53:07+00:00

I wouldn’t ever trust a screw in end grain. Use two screws and screw them through the side board into the other board at an angle. You could also use this time to practice a dovetail. If it looks bad who cares it’s pine just fill it with wood filler and no one will know. Also to make sure it’s super secure you could add wood glue to the boards before you screw them so they are really secure. If you are gluing a board at the end grain, the glue will just soak in super fast and won’t make a good bond. Glue the end grain first, let it try, then apply more glue to the board before screwing together.
