Been busy gathering stuff for 2x weekend. Starting to slow down though. I'm thinking: If I'm spending all this time not skilling but gathering am I really better off? In some ways yes as I will be saving a lot of money. In some ways no because I could have gotten a bit more done on my goals.

I'll just come out and say it. I really really don't care about the hitpoints update. I'll give Jagex a chance to bring out the new things that go with it before I start ranting, if I ever start ranting.

I like the (overlooked) smelting update that lets me lose less iron ore when I make iron bars.

On a side note, I've been reading the RSOF a bit lately. I like to just surf around in there. I've really decided that Runescape is like it's own little city. You've got Pk'er village, clanner neighborhood, merchant's alley etc. I'm always amazed that whenever Jagex makess an update there's ALWAYS ranting. Too easy, too hard, stupid name, bad colors etc. Well guess what? Not every udpate is targeted at every player! I could care less about PVP. But it gets updated. New quest requiring 3 skills level 10? Sure,ok, I'll go do it and then go back to my other stuff.

I had the misfortune to be on the forums after the blurb about Constitution appeared on the RS front page but before people could log in.

Rants rants rants.

And here's how I see them:

1)OMG!!!! i cnT spul gd n i dnt no maths.....x10 z hrd. Failscape! (If this is you I suggest you do the following. Log out of Runescape. Forget your password. Go do your homework.)

2) I don't like change. Why'd you have to change it? Why can't everything stay the same always (I thought that this is why we have RSC?)

3) You didn't survey us first. (Thankfully! Otherwise we'd all be ninjas or pirates riding horses and getting maxed out in a week)

4) I quit!! (Really? Didn't you do that after the last 9 updates? People come and go, you can leave or you can stay. At the end of the day someone will replace you.)

5) I"m the customer and you need to cater to me. (ROFL!! I read this and think about all the customer service jobs I have ever had. Sorry. The customer is not always right and is sometimes flat out wrong.)

6) Well reasoned thought out arguments. I have seen a few of these. They are written so people can read them. Using paragraphs and punctuation so that they make sense. There are some really great ranters on the forums who do a really nice job of ranting. I may not agree with them but I can see their point and why they are adversely affected. I have a few favorites that I track their postings because it's like reading the NYT Op-Ed page for Runescape.

I agree with your point on the constitution update, but I think some people just need to rant. The way I see it, it's kind of like a way to get used to the update. I'll be honest, I got mad at first, went to the forums, and wrote a page about my complaints. But after a few days, like everybody else, I'm getting used to it. I spent about 2 days just pvping, so I got used to a lot of the hits. It's not a bad update now, but if jagex doesn't do anything with it, I will be very dissapointed.
