I quickly lost interest in the game, and my life has been crazy successful since. But was I going to do all the mundane shit I watched my bot do, now that I'd had a taste of not having to? Not a chance. Then I got bolder, and botted till I got a temp ban, when I came back, I knew my account was on watch- so I wasn't going to continue botting.
I hated the amt of time I was spending playing RS in college, so I started botting pretty heavily (my rationale: I'm spending less time on the game) Once you bot the game, it becomes INCREDIBLY demotivating playing for real (you see how mindlessly simple everything is when a script can carry it out) Ok so this may be a little controversial, but worked for me. It catalyze some very positive behavior change for me because it allowed me to understand that it's possible for me to radically improve myself. Being locked in some fantasy world of a video game just seems so unhealthy and antithetical to what it means to be human when you're on LSD. Hit the gym to lift some weights, join a martial arts gym to learn humility and respect, take cold showers to harden your mind, learn about health to optimize every aspect of your human experience, learn about nature/history/culture to understand your place in the universe.Īctually the one thing that shifted my mindset the most was taking LSD. There'll be so much real life grinding to do. Once you realize how adaptable you are as a human being, there's no reason to live in a fantasy world. Boys gravitate to developing themselves in a fantasy world like RuneScape because they don't have the right sort of direction or bravery necessary to develop themselves in real life. There's something particularly pathetic about RuneScape and similar games like WoW compared to other games. There's a reason other boys at school would make fun of you for playing RuneScape. Develop yourself to the point where other men in the real world respect you and will follow your lead. If you spend your life leveling up your skills in real life, you'll be the fucking king. In the grand scheme of things you're still a loser. It's not anything admirable when you leave that fantasy world. You'll have a bunch of 12 year old losers worship your high skills, but that's about it. Jordan Peterson has talked about what that phrase means before from Peter Pan. If you spend your life leveling up in RuneScape, you'll be "king of the lost boys". There's so many skills in real life that can be leveled up. I quit RS years ago and now I'm using that same grinding spirit to level up in real life. I was top 100 on RS3 and front page overall on OSRS at different points. I used to be a competitive runescape no lifer.
Please don't be gentle in your response, I need to hear the truth and change my life. I would love to learn programming but every time I try, I end up playing Runescape instead.
One of my favorite hobbies pre-Covid was exercising and going to rock climbing gyms, but that is not safe anymore and I am stuck at home. Part of it is definitely due to (1) Covid and working from home makes it easy to justify spending 10+ hours a day on the game and (2) I probably need another hobby that I am truly interested in. I felt so great during my 8 months off Old School Runescape and I don't know why I can't stop coming back to the game. I am so angry at myself for not being able to control my urges and I really just need some advice. I have tried to quit multiple times (longest lasting 8 months) but I always come back. I have probably spent over 10,000 hours in this game, with the bulk of it over the last 4 years. When Old School Runescape came out (7 years ago now?) I started playing again. I was addicted back then, but I was living at home and going to middle/high school, so it was harder for me to sink an insane amount of time into the game. I started playing Runescape as a kid, well over a decade ago. I know there have already been many threads about Runescape, and my story is likely similar.
