Two four

Oh so excited. I'm on a nice, rounded number for my total level (2460) and the downhill for slayer and mining is (relatively) fast approaching! I'll get a double 99 for my birthday, which will be way better than the provincial election I got everyone else.

TWIMC

I don't read every item Jagex throws out on the homepage. I wasn't interested in getting a 15% discount on membership since Jagex keeps refusing my credit card(s). That meant I had to hear second-hand about the BEW coming up on Sept. 9-12; I'm now glad I went back to the fallen star at Miscellania (where I heard about it).

I intend to take advantage of the fourth BEW, as I did with the last three. Likely mining, if LFM is allowed, since monster areas will be swamped which means no slayer. I'll stockpile my daily battlestaves and the spoils of my queendom (coal and herbs, so be sold when prices are peaking).

Nerd rage

Anyone who tells you the LFM is dead needs to hang out with me. The last tenday has given me such a hatred for that place! There is always someone else mining there. You know, that's cool. It's not another miner that burns my butter. It's another miner who is too fucking lazy to find his/her own way to the new 50% outlet. You wanna follow people who don't give a shit? GO TO WORLD 71. I do my damnedest to get  away from these remora: world hop, dance (they follow me, I follow them, creating this dance), trick them into mining 100% flow, ignore, but I can't stand it any longer. I can't even come up with words to say why it pisses me off so much.

Now it's another struggle to find the third best mining exp option. I believe it's mining gold at the Keldagrim mine (has gold, addy and runite). >.< If account sharing weren't ethically and rule wrong, I'd beg Marlaine to swap; I wouldn't mind running agility right now.

Dealing with it

An open question for anyone who cares to answer:

How do you respond to someone who says you're a botter? Ignore them? Laugh? Try to convince them you aren't? 

So, this started at the LFM (lava flow mine) today. I'm digging out the crust and the other guy, ALMIGHTYJATT says out of nowhere, "Haro". I read it as 'hello', but didn't respond because people say shit in the public chat that's meant for clan or friends or another window they have open. A few minutes later, he calls me a bot. 

So I said, "Just because I don't talk doesn't make me a bot."

"Well, alot of botters don't talk. And most people bot these days."

"If you think I'm a bot, then report me."

And then he goes into a mini rant about Jagex not doing anything about bots because they support by buying membership (imo, very true).

I understand that botters are more prevalent than ever. I see them constantly during my daily slayer trips. I don't automatically assume the person skilling along side me and not cursed with verbal diarrhea is a bot.

Revenge of not much happening

Today I got 97 slayer. Only 15,585 abyssal demons to go! (If only it were that easy. :P ) I've been toying with the idea of having a drop party, mostly of slayer monster items. I guess it comes down to either making money from my own hard work or letting strangers get the gee pees.

On the mining front, I'm used to the lava flow and head down there on my own. I do have the golden outfit and 2 gilded picks. Another 50 days or so to finish that skill.

My queendom is making a tidy, monthly profit from herbs and coal. Selling all that netted me 4M (gross of 8.5M). 

Sorry it's not exciting, but once you get to the high end of skills (especially ones you despise), you'll understand.
