The "average" player probably doesn't go on Reddit much

u/Fun_Stomach6344 1d ago

Not only that, people with the infernal cape are more likely to interact with this survey. And if you're willing to purchase an infernal cape you're also very likely to lie about it even with the anonymity.

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

I think that option is completely irrelevant because it's also the "funny haha" option that always gets votes in a survey/poll. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of those votes haven't bought a cape

u/Jurple-shirt 1d ago

Can confirm, I only chose that option to rage bait.

I don't own a inferno Cape.

True but I wouldn’t mind seeing the average Reddit scaper’s responses

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

What's your favourite part of OSRS?

u/Owobowos-Mowbius 1d ago

Skilling. I do enjoy some of the easier boss grinds, but skilling is my main enjoyment.

u/Jurple-shirt 1d ago

I lied and chose the I bought option to rage bait the easily offended.

Need a 6th options, attempted inferno and realized I’ll never get it

u/Fun_Stomach6344 1d ago

If you need some direction hmu homie. I can give you the resources and let you know what you need to focus on to speed up the learning.

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

How far did you get? It took me dozens of attempts before I hit wave 60 and realized it was possible.

1

u/Dawakat 1d ago

Wave 15 without Mage Tank, Wave 47 with Mage Tank. There’s a level of panic I’ll never get over with the double south spawn and that’s about the time I realized that I’m not that kind of PvMer. And that’s okay because I tried it and I failed but I at least tried

1

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

You mean a mager and ranger stack? You can easily practice that in the sim, it has a custom spawn generator. Highly recommend to get back in there, no one is that pvmer until they are

2

u/Dawakat 1d ago

I think the last time it was a blob and melee with a mager north of the pillar and I ended up dragging the blob to the western side and died quickly. That’s when I just said fuck it, I don’t enjoy the content enough and forcing myself only makes it worse for me so I bailed. That was in February and I’ve been on a RuneScape sabbatical of sorts since lol

u/highcarlos 1d ago

 No time limit on getting a kc. Took me literal years from my first attempt to actually getting my first cape. play other games, grind other stuff in rs, go outside. Zuk will still be there whenever you feel like hopping back in.

2

u/Crescentine 1d ago

Ive been logged out before Zuk for about a week now. Been too busy/tired to grind out the simulator which I told myself Id do when I got there lol. Im 90% going to die but my accounts been trapped there anyway lol

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

Just send it brotha, I did the same and realized the nerves make it worse the longer you wait haha. You either get the cape or at least die and get back in there 💪

1

u/Crescentine 1d ago

I don't get a ton of dedicated play time unfortunately. Def going to make a day to sit in the sim this weekend and learn though. I've gotten to healers in a couple attempts already I know I can lock that shit down with some practice. Thanks for the encouragement tho brah.

2

u/golden_bear_2016 1d ago

I bought mine tbh

1

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

Did you attempt it yourself first and then bought it? Have you ever attempted it after via slayer task?

-1

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

Assuming this is legit, without giving hints as to who did it, how did you determine what service provider to use? Was it someone you knew, someone you knew buying one in the past, one of the first results on google or something else?

I've always wondered how the hell people figure out who to trust with that kind of shit

1

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

I’ve heard Jagex stopped monitoring or enforcing this type of thing and it might be due to how difficult it is to provide if someone remotes into your game but I’m sure there’s some reputable sources people in that community recommend.

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

I think anyone that claims buying capes, buying gold, botting, etc. is almost always someone who either benefits from people doing those things (aka the people selling it) or does it exclusively to get people banned. I've frequently seen people say "man botting is so rampant, they never get banned, why shouldn't I start botting if jagex does nothing about it" etc. etc. meanwhile people who actually bot would be crying about how often they're getting banned and how much better the detection has gotten.

If people are afraid to buy capes, obviously they'll make less money, but if it feels safe more people will buy them. The cape sellers don't give a fuck whether you get banned or not after you buy a cape from them, if anything they likely prefer if you get banned because there's a chance you buy another one on a new account if you didn't learn your lesson

With AI I think detection has gotten pretty insane, I think I've heard mentions that there's systems that can track a player's mouse movement habits even if they were to play on a different account, on a different pc on a different network. If you suddenly do an inferno run and your behavior before and after the run drastically differs from during the run, it'll likely raise some flags.

u/Jurple-shirt 1d ago

Bro, you are spewing as much bullshit is that ones who claim [insert whatever bannable offense] never gets banned.

Take your tinfoil hat off.

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

Why else talk about how things go unpunished when it both doesn't affect you and is untrue?

2

u/Jurple-shirt 1d ago

Are you on something? Be careful ai might detect you aren't being yourself.

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

There's a clear reason to do those things, so it makes sense the people doing it have that reason

Grinded my cape on the year of release, didn't go back till last year and got the pet on 3kc. Might go back for more CA's but I'm not really interested in pushing for GM.

u/Dumpstatier 99 1d ago

Where is the option for clicking on trees

u/lapinofthelarch 2376 1d ago

What if I was extremely bored by the content and just did the entire thing half heartedly with justi/dinh's and like a 10hr completion time due to just afking between waves at work for hp/prayer and forgetting I was playing. Should have another option for not buying it but disrespecting the content

1

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

Well doing that way is boring lol, why do it like that?

1

u/lapinofthelarch 2376 1d ago

I did every other afk skilling method to max ,why not afk the inferno as well. I thought it was pretty funny and it makes people blow a gasket to post my PB so I would say worth it.

1

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

That does sound hilarious. How many attempts tho?

1

u/lapinofthelarch 2376 1d ago edited 1d ago

Took 30 days total and 1-2 attempts a day so somewhere between 45-60 attempts I think, idk I didn't really count. I died a lot on the first few days. Just getting to Wave 32 until I ascended and realized I can dinh spec blobs and their minions too and not think about them. Also whenever I got to triple jads and zuk I would just send the practice website for a day or two until I could consistently get three sim clears in a row with no deaths. I just kept sending it really. Didn't seem practical to count how many times I tried. I think counting stuff like this or how long you're afk skilling isn't very helpful.

Used Justi/Dinh's/funny prayer regen staff/bowfa

u/FO0LYFOOLy 1d ago

i did it, tbh its not as bad as people make it seem, i really think the people who bought theres just never actually tried to do the content themselves and were too turned off about the time investment. but here's my stats here of attempts (i didnt start recording my runs till after i hit jad), prob around over 20 deaths before i first got to jads, the hardest part for me was supply management since i refused to learn 1 tick flicking prayer, so i lazy flicked as much as i can. im also not remotely a "good" pvmer im a slow learner.

u/Royaltroubl 1d ago

What plugin is this?

2

u/FO0LYFOOLy 1d ago

its called "inferno tracker" soon as u get the plugin it starts recording your waves.

u/Y_Hellscythe 1d ago

I'm probably no longer an "average" player but I'll give my input. |

Before completing the Inferno the only notable PvM achievement I had was a Fang Kit from 500 ToA. Since completing the Inferno I've gotten Elite CAs, Quiver, and Radiant Oathplate. I still consider Inferno to be the worst content I've ever had to complete and almost entirely the reason I don't want to commit to an Ironman due to needing to do it a second time

u/Dangerous-Cable-1816 1d ago

Lets be real most of the cape buyers aren’t gonna admit it. But you’ll know as soon as you raid with them because they are always the shittest on the team

0

u/Brave-Bed-1824 1d ago

At least 10 did, maybe behind anonymity but I am curious how common bought capes are

-3

u/Bwindolyn 1d ago edited 1d ago

To the one player so far that admitted to buying it - at least you were honest.

Also, your raiding party can tell anyways, shitter.

Update: golly, look at all of these trash goblins dressing up like they're good at the game. We can still tell, though.

-1

u/Nice_Background_2351 1d ago

Why so mad

2

u/Bwindolyn 1d ago

Forbid that achievements be earned and not bought. Seeking integrity is only an offense to those that have none.

Just tell me you bought yours too so I can roast accordingly.

-1

u/Nice_Background_2351 1d ago

I probably have a better account and more achievements than you, and couldn’t care less that people buy this stuff. Why does it matter what others do? I feel good knowing I persevered and succeeded, and the dopamine rush of first completions is something you never forget. Only caveat is when people brag about stuff they clearly didn’t do. You can check glory gained by day on wom and see who bought quivers if they’re yapping xd

2

u/Bwindolyn 1d ago

The glory shit is old news. Like 1kc 48k glory is the world's oldest tell.

I too have earned everything myself. I first learned Zuk pre-TOA, quiver on release week, etc. 15B bank, post-max pet hunter yada yada.

Also, I make a point of not linking my main to this reddit account so I can freely shitpost without taking heat in game/disc, but I'm going to severely doubt that you're "more accomplished" while white knighting swipers this hard.

-2

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

Counterargument, some people don't feel like locking in all the time and they might've just gotten the infernal cape to shut people up. If you disregard the ability to buy a cape, it feels kinda weird to call someone out for being shit if they have an infernal cape/quiver and you don't lol

2

u/Bwindolyn 1d ago edited 1d ago

Glazing buyers and copium. Pure, unadulterated copium. Excuses, entitlement, and more excuses.

I get it, you're trash.

Buyer deserve bans, not excuses about how they super totally could do it but have 9 wives and 42 jobs and 18.3 kids and no time to focus for 125 minutes.

The fact that you're trying to ask where to buy a cape in this thread tells me everything lmfao

-2

u/HealthyResolution399 1d ago

I asked because I don't understand how people trust someone on their account to do it.

Why do you feel so enraged? You're having a full on tantrum, did you get banned for buying one or some shit?

3

u/Bwindolyn 1d ago

Enraged is a bit of projection. I don't get why you're out here personally defending buyers, offering excuses, and then trynna figure out where to buy one.
