Why does everybody hate runescape?

Well, I never actually played the damn game, but I've heard it's pretty crappy. I was lucky enough to not own a computer until recently, so I've missed all the hype about it. Now, I've seen a friend of mine play it, (he's 17 mind you, that's older than the average player), and I just wanted to slap him upside the head for it. The game looks like it needs to go back in the oven on 700 degrees and cook until burnt. He had a payed account, which made no goddamned sense to me, but I ignored it and went off to play Perfect World or XileRO, both are free, look amazing, and you can get buy on the equips you get IN GAME! Now, in both games you can pay for elite or premium items, which I strongly recommend doing cause some of the items in XileRO give you insane stat buffs.
The sense of achievement is similar to that of the one recieved from setting up an account on any other website you know you will only ever visit once.
And you should learn how to contract your verbs correctly. Everyone makes mistakes get over yourself.delta4062 said:
The graphics were blocky, the quests' didn't keep me entertained, the needing to be a member for everything was a bit stupid, I don't understand they're leveling system, I didn't really like the click to move thing and it was generally laggy.
It's okay for 30mins but then all the bad stuff hits you.

I think the reason that people hate Runescape is because of the people who are level 100+ and take it upon themselves to act like they're hot shit, even though the game requires very, very, very little skill, just years of commitment.
The grind has to do with it as well
And yes, I played it too, and I even paid for it for like 4 months too...

Far too many of the quests devolve into irritating fetch chains. Leveling skills is painfully boring and/or expensive. Traveling is by turns overly complicated (do you really NEED fifteen different ways to get around?) or absurdly slow. The free content doesn't last long, and the members only content, while extensive, seems like a lot of the same thing over and over.
In the end, your money is better spent elsewhere.

I don't like that it takes very little skill. All it is, is grinding. It doesn't help that the community is one of the worst online communities I have ever seen, I mean, once you make an account there's a bunch of people waiting to ask you out. the only game community that was worse was Endless Online which was full of pedophiles or people acting like it... I do admit that I haven't play many MMORPGs, so I wouldn't know if they're all like that.
I admit, it was fun when I was younger. I have no hate for it, I just don't find it enjoyable.

I don't hate it, I'm just not entertained by it.
I have no idea how so many of my friends can get so into it. I mean, far be it from me to get bored of walking back and forth constantly, mining, forging, mining, forging. And you know swinging and low resolution blocky monsters, or rather, watching my character swing at low resolution blocky monsters while I sit back and knit does get a bit old.
Of course, that's just me. Maybe I'm missing something that makes the game fun as you get higher up, I don't know, but I could never hold it long enough while there were games I liked better I could be wasting time on instead.
