For those makers of Runescape, they need people to perform more Runescape, it's the way they as a OSRS gold company earn their money. The first way to get folks to play more, advertisements, costs cash. But if that advertising attracts people to perform more, then it is advertising money well spent. However, Jagex can not spend all its money on advertisements. The next way to get folks to play more, releasing content that is new, is an arduous task.

New content has to be programmed, made sure that the brand new content blends well with the remainder of the match, is not too overpowered, does not devastate the Runescape market, etc.. It takes lots of time to release new content. The third option, cheap gimmicks such as the Highscores table and colouring in other players' combat levels, is comparatively easier to program for the makers of Runescape than it is to create/develop/introduce new game content.

And things like the Highscores table has made several people play so many more hours of Runescape than they otherwise would have. It was a genius (menacing ) move by the Jagex employee who suggested making different players' battle level to be colored differently and to introduce a Highscores table, because it produced made individuals more aggressive (and when they played , it made more cash for Jagex) with very little effort/programming needed on the part of Jagex. The individual who made those ideas probably got a major bonus that year.

Don't attempt to be someone else, or emulate other people's stats. Runescape is an open game which never ends, unlike quests. In Dragon Slayer, should you defeat Elvarg, you acquire the ability to put on a rune platebody or a green dragonhide body. It's not like this are the conclusion of Runescape, along with your Runescape reward being a Santa Hat. There is no reward in any way, and not a Santa Hat.

Magic: You when you have sufficient money(~40k) buy a water staff, couple hundred earth runes and few hundred body runes. Now cast confuse until level 11, subsequently weaken to buy osrs gold paypal level 19. Since you may cast these while safe-spotting you won't require food. When you run out of runes or get bored you can always return to other skills, get money and come back later. You might even cast combat spells if you want to.
