It has troubled me several times since I switched from OSRS Items to RS3. I thought the OSRS Reddit community was shitty but at least if I posted a question (whether it be in a ribbon or it's own thread) folks wouldn't make me feel as if I'm doing something disagreeable. I have always seen the downvote button like a correlation index, and only really downvote stuff if it's wildly off topic. It seems like this sub simply loves to downvote individuals for being fresh, I can't say I know it, but I do not actually give a shit anymore. Should my queries hold karma? Definitely, they're just questions. Nothing inherently positive or negative about them. Do they? No, but occasionally they even back outside to neutral after initially obtaining several downvotes (seems some people understand that downvoted questions become suppressed and try to bring up them ). It shouldn't be like that.
It was. My friend convinced me to change over once I maxed and got tired of OSRS. 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 turned over they rated me in the clan straight off tut island and everyone was super composed and awesome, then I came here and felt just like I was kinda being educated"fuck away noob." Glad I didn't, Runescape is excellent. This sub needs work, but there are definitely a ton of really great helpful people who have been in it for quite a while, they deserve a little credit too.
If got downvoted, I'd like to add, it'd make some sense. I also feel really weird even speaking about downvotes, isn't there like an unwritten rule about not doing that? I feel like the whole hostility to questions thing is just another symptom of efficiencyscape, except instead of criticizing people for training abilities inefficiently, it's criticizing people for hunting answers inefficiently. Just the most efficient method (studying wiki) is allowed, everything else is incorrect, even though asking different players will still supply an answer.
So people should play with a singleplayer game and never speak to anybody because everything is about the wiki and there is no justification for making talks. Of course public chat is so dead relative to 10 decades back and people talk more about politics than about Runescape, since politics is based on opinion and not about the wiki. I get it. The wiki didn't exist for a whole lot of players. When I initially began (then quit, then moved to OSRS decades later) we didn't have a wiki. It's actually just a case of"I heard Runescape the hard way, you can also" imo.
That's just kinda the nature of the playerbase, elderly people who have been playing forever for the most part. It produces a weird lively with noobs, but with prif and Menaphos noobs and maxed players barely even run into each other outside the hub and clans. No one wants to be bombarded with questions that are dumb and I am sure the men and women who sit on this sub refreshing by feel that way. I really don't think I've played Runescape with the wiki closed in ages. While afking some shit if I am not pvming I am certainly reading wiki webpages. It sucks while Buy OSRS Accounts skilling however that I don't eliminate sleep over it, that I read the wiki than talk.
