Dropping Dragon Claws, Ags, 200mil+ Quiting Rs Why you should quit Runescape

I stuttered a lot and watching it back again, my arguments were all over the place lol. Either way, just food for thought. How has this game effected you? What will it bring you? Once again, sorry for rambling so much, I was looking forward to doing this for days as I have stated.

[@JurnellG]

Much respect man. When something is negatively affecting your life then you got to cut it out of your life. If the game is not paying the bills then you shouldn't dedicate so much of your life into it. Video game in general are not bad imo but when it starts to affect your school or social life then you got to stop it. I play quite a few games but It's very hard for me to play games for a long period cause i get bored of it. Games that improve your cognitive skills or encourages creativity are games you should play. But like all games, too much of it is always bad in some shape or form. I play rs, started in 2006 and during high school i would play only on weekends for about 3 to 5 hrs and on holidays i would mix rs with some sports like parkour and swimming. However there were times when i fell victim to the rs grind, luckily i was able to stop before it got too serious. Over the years i've skipped like 4 full years of rs and the years that i played it were only on school breaks. Games like this take your life if you are not self aware. Everyone just focusing on lvl, stats and wealth but all of that means nothing. Anyway man appreciate the video.

[@jesss1561]

After quitting RuneScape what kept me from coming back was the counter at login which tells you how many days has passed since your last login. If you have managed to accumulate hundreds or even thousands of days to the counter you don't want to zero the counter anymore and nullify your achievement of not coming back.

[@Brandon_Small]

I couldn't agree more, this is the exact feeling I get also.🎉

[@Fusion97K]

That dude has no idea how much gp is being dropped right above him holy sheet

[@BathSaltBadger]

lol no worries dude, I started at 9 as well, played unti 28. So you've got 10 years man, it was a huge waste of time.

[@yubi6829]

Almost came back and wasted more of my life at 23 now, only reason I kept playing was to finish the quest cape so i can forever move on with video games. But honestly that's just a dumb mental complex i don't need to finish the fucking quest cape just so i can declare the game as beaten and move on. Did you achieve the quest cape or got any wise words for me as to how unnecesary the quest cape is in order to move on from the game? lmao

[@DoctaJibbles]

Dude... I almost real world traded again... for more money Ingame and this stopped me. I need to focus on real things in my life as I’m in school now too. I agreed with everything else you said I felt the same. Really appreciate the video I’m saving it Incase I feel like rejoining.

[@noahsrc]

Thank you for this. I just dropped my bank on my ironman. I've had the account 6 years and used it as my main. It's only 1350 total but it was so time consuming.

[@DannyJames-z7m]

It took u 6 years to get 1350…. Did u play for 10 mins a day?

[@soeylvu]

we need an update on where this fool is now in life, always wondered what happened to his resolve, probably relapsed a bunch of times I just checked and compared his stats and account form this vid to now, he has gotten about 3.4m xp since, but hasn't trained skills like runecrafting suggesting he hasn't quested or properly come back, just returned to the account out of nostalgia or whatever dumb reason

[@soeylvu]

@@Kiier4n 160 hours is rookie numbers trust me you seem to have no idea how much worse it is for people, I quit and honestly the game went to shit rules wise, mutes and all that get applied instantly these days, gp black market prices are down and all, the fun just isn't there anymore for me, I was a pking machine and generating go was easy af, trust me you have no idea how much worse the addiction can get, I quit end of april and havent properly looked back since, logged in a couple times but didn't have the drive to play anymore so I sold my last 6bil and sold my account to a friend. Now if I came back I would have to build another account, and I built like 5accounts I don't got it in me anymore. The only reason I had to come back was that I was genuinly good in pvp, I did all pvming I tried everything and am done with the game, also it ain't what it used to be no more, pvp is dead, there were tons of updates that cucked pvp to the max, now its not fun anymore.

[@soeylvu]

@@Kiier4n anyways lets not start a flexing contest it doesn't matter anyway. I am just glad the shit on their game and its done and over with. The one thing I hated most was the lonely and depraved attention seeking minds of young adults acting still like their 10yo selfs

[@fkh3556]

Thank you very much. You inspired me to quit. Much respect for that on point self analysis. All of us are in the same boat. Good luck everyone on suceeding in life. Much more satisfying than achievements in a stupid video game.

[@Regular_Pigeon]

Did the same thing about a year ago. I've logged back on, but when I consider how long it'll take to get full graceful back, my green cash stack, gear, dragon defender, etc, I just log back out. It's really the only way to walk away. I sometimes entertain the idea of grinding it all back, or making a new account, but doing all those quests again just ain't worth the time.

How’d you go

[@amirtut5982]

After 8 years i came back and played OSRS. I grinded for 3 months straight and have no idea why. I have so much more going on in my life. I started playing again and immediately I was hooked, I even was going through my roommates stuff to find his wireless mouse. I looked for it for like 15 minutes, and then i drove to buy one. Basically, this shit is crazy and today i went from wanting to get mems to literally dropping all my items. And i STILL was getting excited when you said someone might grab your items that you dropped.

[@ztomminator]

When I quit I just substituted RS for Halo, then gears of war then COD ghosts extinction, (which I finally maxed out and quit because there was nothing else to Max out.) Then I went back to PC to play Tera and had 7 characters I did dailies on. The PC servers shut down so that's a wrap. I started my career at 21 which I'm still passionate about today at 29. But for about a year I started playing RS mobile and got back on the PC for a little while when I was at home from work. Basically if you want to play this game they make it very easy to get started and keep you playing.

[@jarleulverud9404]

[@LSXPhatal]

Everything he said is 100% right. It’s funny it came across as I was getting ready to make a return. I’m the type of RuneScape player that if I don’t “grind” it’s not worth it for me, or I feel behind or I feel like I’m wasting my time. RuneScape (rs3) use to be my life, I would play that 16 hours a day non stop on weekends. During high school I would get up at 5/6 am and okay until 7 or 8. Come back from school and keep playing from 3:30-midnight. It was crazy, yes I was crazy wealthy and skilled/knowledgeable and then i had a point like this guy, where is this getting me in life? Tbh if I didn’t quit RuneScape I wouldn’t have gone into college and graduated. Although I miss it and I wish I could return I know it wouldn’t be smart of me. I barely have 1 ish hour of free time now at age 25, I started playing back in 2011. I’m a married man with a career and some fitness goals so starting up RuneScape wouldn’t be smart on my part.

[@lucid3553]

[@dallasmcneal9214]

Great video man, It takes a great sense of self awareness and discipline to do what you did. I'm deployed in the middle east right now and one of my buddies just started playing this game again... we dont really have much to do over here and i dont really want to have to start over so i would love to get an account like this. Don't want you to think this is why im commenting though, good on you for quitting and i hope you'll enjoy life more now :)

[@rexmundi273]

You don't quit RuneScape, RuneScape quits you.

[@weebaker]

Am i the only one who enjoyed the hours spent in this world? did nobody else get to live out their childhood fantasies in this game? I understand that most of these people have sunk so many hrs that they feel it was a waste, but when you ask what the point of it all is i have one simple answer. It was fun. I enjoyed every second of the grind and i enjoyed every player that had a chat message pop up above their head. Maybe other people aren't as introverted as me but this game was the thrill of being in another world, much like what the people who loved Sword Art Online felt. I was a virtual man in a virtual world and that was a unique and new thing. I could and still can be whoever i want to be here. I think many of the people playing the game fail to see that and instead decide to be a worker drone and taking the fun out of it.

[@stayontrack]

As long as its fun its alright, but it's easy to fall into the trap and before you know it rs is the only thing you do in your life, and you realise you neglected important things and are now miserable. If you can keep it in moderation and you enjoy it, all the better but the game is designed to be addictive and suck you in.

[@XZYZ0R]

For me gaming in general is just a hobby to have fun. If you're not having fun then there is something really wrong and yes it's better then for you to just quit and take a nice break of it. The same as any other game or even KZbin as a hobby, but it shouldn't be the only thing that you do in life except when it's your job as a streamer. I've got a job to do which is good so you're not only into OSRS or any other thing that is very addiciting + it earns money which is good irl ofc and another environment I'd say. I'd honestly never drop all of my shit that I've worked years for. That's the same thing as getting scammed, hacked or lured and trust me that's the worst feeling. I've experienced that multiple times. At some point you're gonna be bored asf and the regret that you have then is gonna be big. Or you have to be very busy irl that you really don't have time to play games anymore.

[@AlsteinLe]

Runescape ruined my life. It's addiction. Everything in moderation I guess. It's hard not to come back because it's your childhood. I don't PK but I remember spending a lot of time for agility or reaching goals. If you get rid of your account or items you might make a new account and build it back up again. Nice to see you are moving on.

It doesn't sound like runescape is the problem, you seem to have a problem with self control. Glad you quit if its helping out-- hopefully your life has improved as a result. For me, I still play OSRS to this day, but I don't let it override my life. When I go on vacation, I don't play runescape. When I'm working from home, I don't play. When I wanna take a break from the game (which happens quite a few times throughout the year), I don't play. I prioritize my health, family, and friends over any game... If you ever get back into any type of gaming, that's fine -- nothing wrong with having a hobby like that, but make sure you set limits and boundaries with yourself. Your responsibilities come first before gaming. People who have gaming addictions literally ruin their lives. It's sad, but it happens -- if you're unable to prioritize your personal growth due to a gaming addiction, you need to find a way to quit (or at least agree with yourself to take a long break) so you can get it under control. And are games a waste of time? If you're spending too much time, then absolutely. If you can balance it out in a good way, and you're having fun when you game while living a healthy life, then no.

[@noxartorias6553]

Meh the 3 mega items that are over 1bill (tbow, scythe and tumenkins shadow) are not required for a lot of the content. Blade of seldor slash is a great substitute for scythe and it’s 10x less. Bowfa is a good substitute for tbow and it’s only 100mill aswell as sang staff for magic instead of shadow. You buy those over 1bill items when you get to that point but you will be rocking with the tier lower for a lot longer.
