It was a transition as it had been, switching to eoc. My friend convinced me to change over I maxed and got bored of OSRS, 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 this informative article focused on, as fas as I am aware).
