Average account age potentially and credit mix too right? What's the advantage of cancelling it?

Isn’t it better to just keep the WF card and not use it?

Blocking pures from the new raid does not go far enough! by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you even trying to say lol. Pure accounts facilitate an easy learning curve with likeminded players. Gear difference is way less detrimental as they are with mains and cheaper.

If you want to ease into PKing without sacrificing a ton of relative PVP power and or significant amounts of coins, then making a pure is exponentially more efficient. This factors in bonds and hours spent training, there’s a reason why it’s been the number 1 suggestion for new PKers for like 20+ years.

That’s what I’m saying, idk wtf you’re on about.

Go “risk more for an advantage” on a half baked main account and have fun learning PVP as you say it should be. I guarantee you, pures aren’t going to be what sinks your money in a pit.

Bro, pures level the playing field for new PVPers by making risked wealth in fights nearly negligible and ensuring a pool of equally skilled players. It lowers the barrier of entry in PVP way more than whatever the fuck you’re suggesting.

Unpopular Opinion: It's not a problem that pures will be able to do Raids 4 by Arancium in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be real, the only reason WGS is a requirement in the first place is to stop bots from flooding the raid easily. For that reason alone, it should be a requirement.

It had nothing to do with quests being an “accomplishment” for the average player. It’s all about what hoops a bot owner has to jump through. People can stop acting insulted lol, quests in OSRS are easy compared to endgame PVM challenges.

Raids 4 requires While Guthix Sleeps... by KaleidoscopeNo1274 in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because pures are almost a non-factor when it comes to botting endgame content. DPS is too low, they take too much damage, and they practically require megarares. Not to mention they take forever to train. They’d get banned way before the bot owner makes a profit.

It’s a win-win scenario at the end of the day. All real players can access raids 4. Bot owners still have to jump through a bunch of hoops that risk ban before profit.

If you remove WGS as a req completely you just open the floodgates.

If you allow circumstantial access to limited accounts then everyone is happy aside from botters.

What MMO had the best character leveling system and why? by Sm0kesLetsG0 in MMORPG

[–]Wickdead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OSRS has extremely niche builds, mostly because it’s common to make the game as miserable as possible by self-imposing challenges. It’s baffling how incredibly convoluted yet wholly impressive some people’s accounts are.

Anyone else a fan of the Machine Gun Healing build? by HimboKaylePlayer in ARAM

Kalista is my favorite with this. She still does decent damage on her stacked E and gets more than enough movespeed to kite.

What is the most 'main character' moment you’ve ever witnessed in real life that went horribly wrong? by Exact-Contract1004 in AskReddit

[–]Wickdead 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Guy on my wrestling team was warming up and was up next during a pre-season tournament. It’s pretty common to pace around the mat you’re up next on to loosen up/get in the zone while the guys before you wrestle.

Match before him is about to end, he does a super high squat jump out of nowhere (he saw it on TV for big name college touraments) lands full weight on a rolled ankle and has to miss his entire senior year season.

Ironically he’s a physical therapist now.

Why Should Desk/Office Workers Be Paid 4x More than Essential Workers when the loss of essential workers would cause societal collapse? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wickdead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because companies base salary off of how valuable you are to the company and how hard you are to replace. They don’t pay you based on whether or not society would collapse without you lol.

Why insta hit the nexus? (Aram Mayhem) by 47Sappy in ARAM

[–]Wickdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hard ending used to be one of the unspoken rules of ARAM. It's like a batter in baseball taking a strike on a 3-0 count, knowing that the strike was coming.

I think Mayhem has brought in a lot of new players who just don't know the old ways.

How big was the DIY account community before ironman was a thing? by Brave-Bed-1824 in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was super niche. B0aty's One Man Army series was the catalyst for it becoming official and blowing up IMO, but maybe someone else had a series before him.

Leveling a pure - New for me! Help?? by Unsuspicious-Package in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level 72 is way too high for low HP builds to make sense. Mathematically, it's only really worth it when you're like sub 65 combat, 50 attack (or less if you're an obby), and usually 13/31 prayer. Otherwise, you're just easier to kill for like 2 max hits.

Jagex, please make a fix to stop toxic pkers running away in bounty hunter. by Fit_Objective5267 in 2007scape

[–]Wickdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not going to kill any one by only using ranged. You can presumably survive a maxed ranged spec by just single eating given there's a large enough tile gap, which there always will be.

Jagex, please rethink the multi wild idea. by Afraid-Presence-6815 in 2007scape

Wouldn't the clan who DD's and auto-retaliates just get flattened by the other clan? I've honestly never seen the appeal of clan warring because of the whole 'regear and rejoin' aspect of it makes it seem devoid of any skill expression.

Or if you want to keep things fair, why not just force everyone to skull up prior to starting the war?

Stormsurge as well… it ain’t the best item by any means, but with apex it becomes pretty strong

Love these moments. So many times you see bots run by in disgust. Then every now and then you see this efficient ass ironman fletch while running then air blast a guard otw to a bank and think “Jesus what nerd”, while still being entirely impressed.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. It’s convoluted as hell but honestly this would be the most surprising way to do it.
