as a skiller and more so long term miner i find it very strange to be at odds with my own community. several months ago i started noticing a trend that caught my attention. in a full clan at the time it hit me that ppl were dieing off at an accelerated rate during the vos magic hour for miners. i began investigating informally and on my own. i know my methods were surely not shall we say scientifically expert. here is what i did for around 2 months. i started visiting worlds where and when ppl from various chats, friends lists and clans died to see what the situation there was. i found many occasions of harmed rune. next i visited various player respawn locations and banks to glean as much information as i could while rune was harmed. here to i found a strong trend of ppl dieing through lag and disconnects while rune was active. its hard to put a number how bad the situation is with my study, however i think it to be nearly a third of ppl dieing when worlds got piled, were though lag and disconnects. i do not think many have made this connection yet and would urge you to get ahead of the curve. so what did i do. well i immediately started protecting my homeworld and tried to explain my findings to fellow miners. much disrespect ensued from my own community to go along with general nastiness that goes along with eoc ppl invading a legacy world. thats right i play alot on the legacy pk world. i find it relaxing and generally free of ppl at various skilling areas while most duke it out in wildy. next step when ppl wouldnt listen, i expanded my protection to the rest of the legacy worlds still trying to raise awareness of these issues. then as many worlds as i could get to. the i took a little rs break and now im back. so what do i think. some worlds need to be made safe with no hordes allowed not sure how many but a mix of combat worlds to accommodate geographic location ie usa europe along those lines and i think legacy should get some attention as there is much disrespect going on there. i think its worthwhile to consider a change on east rock policy. this would give say lvl 85 miners an option and possibly slow them down from west rock mining. also as someone whom has mined harmed east rocks it at least gives a chance of these being seen again, food for thought. those are the three items i have, as miners i hope we can work this out amongst ourselves. if not i suppose jagex has the data to take a close look at things, id rather not involve them, invites unintended consequences. also a grass roots movement in the combat community may also be an option, again a sleeping dog best left undisturbed. lets face it we dont have the best servers, many players dont have the most high speed low drag computers or connections. have i experienced issues during trah hour? yes both at the rock pile and away, have even dc'd luckily not died. should be a good start, hope you get the gist. in closing i hope that you as fellow miners and leaders will: 1 consider closing down some combat worlds to protect fellow gamers who do other than mine 2 try and encourage respect for and amongst yours and all people i just said try here 3 think about your position on the east rock i wish you well as you ponder these things. regards, plumnjump Edited by plumnjump, Jul 31 2015, 08:49 PM.
