It was a bizarre transition as it had been, switching to eoc. My friend convinced me to change over I maxed and got bored of OSRS Gold,
after. We're buds irl and he told his clan about me contemplating
switching, they have a 2.4k total restriction but they knew who I was so
when I finally switched over they ranked me at the clan straight off
tut island and everyone was super welcoming and awesome, then I came
here and felt just like I was kinda being educated"fuck away noob." Glad
I did not, Runescape is superb. This sub wants work, but there are
definitely a ton of really great helpful people who have been at it for
quite a while, they deserve some credit too.
If the answers which
are easily found on the wiki obtained downvoted I'd like to add, it'd
make some sense. I also feel bizarre even talking about downvotes, isn't
there like an unwritten rule about not doing that? I feel like the
entire hostility to questions thing is another symptom of
efficiencyscape, except instead of criticizing people for training
abilities inefficiently, it is criticizing people for seeking replies
inefficiently. Only the most effective method (studying wiki) is
allowed, everything is incorrect, even though asking different players
will nonetheless provide an answer.
So people should play with a
singleplayer game and never talk to anyone because everything is on the
wiki and there's no justification for making talks. No wonder public
chat is so dead relative to 10 years ago and folks speak more about
politics than about Runescape, because politics is based on view rather
than about the wiki. I get it. The wiki did not exist for a whole lot of
players. When I originally began (then quit, then moved to OSRS decades
later) we didn't have a wiki. It's really just a case of"I learned
Runescape the hard way, you can also" imo.
That's just kinda the
nature of the playerbase, older people who've been playing forever for
the most part. I don't think I have played Runescape together with the
wiki. While afking some shit, if I am not pvming I reading pages. It
sucks that I would rather read the wiki than talk to people beyond my
clan while skilling however I do not lose sleep on it.
There's
two issues. New players making query's about Runescape, then becoming
downvoted without an answer. The solution is that the Weekly Megathread
which I think solves the dilemma of collecting everyone with Basic
Questions into a single location (you know those replies already).
However, I do not believe in the Subreddit users, I believe just a
couple of them are going to redirect these new users into the
Megathreadothers will just answer their queries, while others will still
downvote them (that will be the problem this informative article
focused on, as fas as I am aware).
Redirecting OSRS players to
the suitable subreddit. However, users make a good job already by
redirecting those individuals there, and there's the Subreddit link on
the banner, under Partner Subreddits, there. But they are still
downvoted by them. The Downvotes here, and also the users are such as
the ISR, there is no escaping them. You cannot remark anything remotely
constructive since they biting at your foot.
From the OSRS and
pathofexile subreddit I frequent not every single small question gets
asked in the megathread, a few people continue to create their own
threads requesting them, and over the years I have barely ever seen
anyone even mention, they simply reply it as normal. No need for every
query although not everyone that has a question would like to create
their own thread. It's the problem, maybe they think it doesn't justify
one, not certain where most of them endure but I have read about several
reasons like those. My train of thought is that when a player sees a
stickied megathread they feel welcome to ask things since there's a
place made for them to do so. I see it as the distinction between
someone inviting you versus welcoming you with open Buy Old School RuneScape Gold
