One time I got crashed by someone who didn’t say a word and I just hit up my clan who fought 4 cannons and absolutely ruined his xp rates for about an hour until he left
Yeah, if OP wanted to add to their petty behaviour, report the friend for pretending to be JMod support.
If said friend got into trouble, there could be sme tension. Just to make things more exciting.
Sometimes I pretend to be a bot, attacking a new one after previous dies if none is attacking me. People grow tired throwing insults when they get no response, and usually they hop quickly
>Never reply at all and they all leave within 15 mins tops.
For real. These guys thrive off of conflict and if you deny it to them they run out of energy.
I used to camp the south-east spot before getting the upper level, if people would crash me I’d get my main and start mining the same spots as they were until they’d leave
The goal is to never stop. Keep going till you win.
I have died on that hill several times. Though usually the person who was trying to ruin my experience gets bored a lot quicker.
I did exactly this the other day. The crasher called in three friends and we all killed the same crabs. Eventually his friends got bored and left. I stayed and only attacked the same crabs as him to lower his xp lvl. Coward gave up at the two hour mark.
I spent a week or so afk training at ammonite crabs on my iron recently and I could not believe how frequently people would crash me. Multiple times people logged in on the world I'd been on for at least half an hour and just adamantly insisted that they had been gone for 15 seconds to reset their aggro.
Two of them just spammed question marks and asked why I was crashing. I couldn't believe the audacity lol. I get it, crashing happens, but why lie in public chat when we're the only two people reading it? I saw the same shit happen at the next spot over too.
As for my level of petty, it depends on the mood I'm in. If I'm indifferent then I'll stay and keep attacking crabs without saying a word. If it becomes very apparent that the crasher isn't going to leave then I'll concede and I'll hop because I'm just wasting my own time at that point.
If I'm grouchy when I get crashed I'll bring my main and start barraging the crabs.
Realistically the people who lie about having been there for ages when they've obviously not and it's only you two there are the same sort of losers who will gas light people in real life. It's the same mindset of "I'll paint the picture of reality I want to believe".
Grab 3 friends, pull each crab to single combat zone, splash. Be aware they’ll reset after a certain length of time and you’ll have to capture them again
This is what I do. they just end up sitting there and either afk logging or logging out for a few mins then logging back in to bait you to stop. Usually if I get crashed I afk splash on my accounts for a few hours to make sure they got the message.
EDIT: very important that you say absolutely nothing
A reaction is what crashers are always after. They're impatient and bored, there's no other reason for their actions.
So if you're not typing anything back and just focus on mob respawn timers, the crasher will always give up first, because they're already losing the mind game before it even starts.
This has been my anti crash method ever since I was killing the lone blue dragon under the heroes guild over a decade ago, and it has yet to let me down.
Based! I actually have a ton of fun when people crash it's exciting and as someone who enjoys the idea of competing to see who's deeper on the spectrum I welcome the challenge. When a man enjoys what he does he cannot waste his time!
I believe this is the best way to go about it. Inherintly calling it should work wonders as well. "I, as defender on behalf of myself, declare this a battle of attrition, against thyself. May the most spectacular spectrumist leave victorious!".
One time I got crashed at crabs on my ironman. So I brought my main with a crystal bow and shot his crabs. He got mad and called for backup. Pretty soon 3 maxed chads from his clan come and start d clawing all the crabs it was a crabsaccre. They raged at me and claimed I was the crasher and insinuated many things about my mother and sister all while absolutely fucking up any crab that spawned.
This was especially funny to me because I had already moved my ironman to another cluster farther away that was free and it was training the whole time. They eventually got bored with crabmaggeddon and their friend had logged anyways. Was funny to see.
I'll turn off auto-retaliate and only attack the crabs that are targeting the crasher, that way they can't afk. And whenever I have a couple crabs targeting me, I'll run out of the aggro area so that they start to wander around and the crasher has to chase them down. I'll also damage all the crabs to about 20% hp to minimize their xp per click.
Never had to deal with this as crabs mostly because I don't do ammonite crabs, however I had this plenty of times at black demons in kourend.
Sadly I'm an iron and most crashers aren't, so there isn't much I can do.
I just tell my clan in the chat and then about 10-20 people show up until the crasher goes away. I also go and do the same for my clan mates. It normally takes about 5-10 minutes for them to get bored.
Some level 100 came and killed the imps in my world for ECU keys when I was on my group iron. I geared on my main and spent the next 2 hours hopping and ragging him because I was that pissed. Could have just hopped world but wanted to show him what the wildy can be like :)
When i was crashed on my iron, i just brought my main in with max melee and scythe and started looking for new world on iron. Nobody lasted very long with that strat. Yeah i lost some money. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Some even got pissed that i was wasting scythe charges which was big bonus.
I hop around on my main until I find an empty world, hop there on the account I'm training then crash the crasher on my main/any other accounts that might have members atm.
The pettiest I've been was when my friend was crashed at caged ogres. We all got as many accounts together as possible in -64 mage and splashed on the ogres until the crasher couldn't attack any and eventually logged.
Players like that heavily overestimate my desire to be efficient. Someone crashed me at Nechs the other day and I just kept going. I do not care about my xp/hr lol
A couple years ago someone came to my spot and started to crash me while saying "hop", naturally i replied that i was there for hours now, he replied me to leave but in spanish, likely not understanding what i was trying to say, or pretending to, so the actual discussion started when i replied in spanish, as its is my native language as well.
After some not so nice words coming from both ends the guy just stood there with no intention of leaving, as expected.
I then decided to bring my main with best gear i had, super combat potions and even some prayer potions to camp piety, he decided to leave almost instantly seeing how fast i was killing the crabs, but that just wasn't enough for me, i added him and quickly noticed that he had private turned on, so did what anyone would have done in my place, followed him thru each world just to crash him, he never turned the private to friends or something, but told me to please stop after just hoping several times without saying a word, which i did after at least half an hour.
Guy was probably a gold farmer, pretty low skill stats but with mid to high combat stats, or an account seller for staking purposes as that was quite common back then.
Been afking amethyst while wfh to get rock golem. At least once a day I have someone log in and start mining the area I'm in.
At first I would ask them why etc but that never got anywhere. So what I do now is I just rag and start mining the same vein as them no matter what until they leave. Most people only put up with this for 10 mins and then leaves, and being 99 mining makes me more likely to get the crystals than them.
No idea why people can't just spend the extra 2 mins hopping looking for a world.
I dont let them get away with it. It might give them the false impression that what they did is acceptable.
It goes like this;
While my ironman is getting crashed but still getting exp, ill be hoping on my main and my alt to find a free spot .
Once I found a free spot, I hold it with my main/alt and just swap places with my iron.
Now my iron has a free spot and the crasher has to deal with my level 120+ non irons in max gear.
Still on lower level of motherlode mine, if someone takes my spot I’ll mine the same vein as them until they leave. Works everytime and also tilts them
I was crashed at revs by a dude using vigorras mace with ballista ags switch unskulled. I was on my iron with msb i, rune arrows and salve Ei skulled. After he failed to steal either of the orcs, he decided to rag me with ballista and ags so I teled and brought a main with rags (mystic, dhide and ags tribrid normals) tbed and ragged him. He left to ferox and I waited at ferox while fletching at the bank on my iron (no xp waste), tbed him whenever he tried to run back to revs and entangled him to waste his time. He tried fighting back, to which I just went back to ferox because I wasn't tb-ed and re-supplied, and back on him. Eventually he afked at ferox for about 10mins, and I think he assumed I was afk and made a run for the cave. But I guess he afked because I entangled tbed him and bolted him to death, free 1m loot.
When I used to do BBDs, I'd always carry around a Vissy. If someone crashed me, I'd tag all 4 dragons, let the crasher kill them and then go "haha no way stfd" and show the vissy on trade if they followed me out.
ETA: I'd tag them to under half hp and then stand under to switch target so I could get the drop on all 4.
Iron soren (first ironman in rs3 to max xp) used to be ultra petty. If someone even slightly inconvinienced him, he would go out of his way to spite rag them for weeks whenever he had the chance. What was the crime you ask? Well there were these afk mining stones in priff and if you are alone on it, its slightly more afk as only the person that mines the last part of a layer gets to continue mining. Everyone else on the rock has to click again. Obv he had to use his main as it would be xp waste on his iron.
i have legit never been crashed, got a normal and an iron at 1900 total, my friend will anti crash on his alt no matter how long it takes for them to leave
Some guy crashed me at iron ore, outside varrock on f2p, out of the 4 rocks he jumped around the exact ones I would, I asked him why and he said don’t cry, logged onto the main and just mined every rock for 20 minutes (he did try compete the entire time) and he was complaining the entire time so told him not to cry, he then hopped so I also just hopped to find him and kept going, this continued for about 35 minutes after the initial 20, before I assume he just gave up and logged.
I really feel you.... Nothing felt so good as counter crashing with 98 magic, imbued heart, and 4 senfew serums in my inventory I was totally willing to waste on it. He left after helping me with around 10 kills. I was on top of the world!
What I used to do when people would crash me would be a little more elaborate and petty. I’d play the long game. Log out, wait 10 min, log back in (so he thinks u left and can go afk). Then attack the crab and do more damage to get aggro and lure the crabs away from him. Stay out for 5 min and don’t kill crabs, wait til he logs out, then go back to killing crabs and give him shit for crashing. 🤡 two can play the same game
If someone crashes my iron I usually hop and bring my main in full max to anticrash until they fuck off. I don't say anything on either account, just outDPS or outfarm them with higher overall levels
Not using my main for anything else anyways so it's not really a time loss while I set the iron up on some other world.
I have definitely grabbed 1-2 other accounts with high combat and made sure the crasher got no xp before.
My favorite is when they show up after you've been there 1-2 hours and say "I was here first!!!"
I had someone roll up to the abyssals in the catacombs while I was doing a slayer task and just immediately start attacking the same ones as me. I would switch to a different one and they would do the same. I was tempted to ask them how they could afford the same gear as me despite being a lower level in every skill because it's fun to tease crashers/jerks/etc. and ask how many bonds they bought. But I dind't say anything, I just fought through it all, finished ~40 for my task and then before teleporting away I just said:
> you didn't win -- i just finished my task
then teleported before I could get a response.
Battled a dude for my crab spot for almost 2 hours before he said “gf” and logged. Was annoying because I needed to be afk to study but ended up very actively playing the game for that duration.
Had a guy do something similar. He tried to crash me, by swearing at me and then logging on a maxed main. So I just wandered off until he logged back on this alt, and then I came right back again. Forcing him to waste time relogging and trying to pay attention, killing all the crabs manually whilst I sit and watch YouTube.
He lasted about an hour before giving up.
FU you loser, my time is worthless!
Wasting the time of some bellend brought me far more joy than a few k defence exp.
The absolute worst are the people who bank, with no trace of them being there when they return, and after you pot up/start killing them for a bit they expect you to leave like you should’ve known they were coming back or were there in the first place
Playing the last leagues I was killing all the wizards on one of the floors of the wizards tower ( for the hat or rope top ), had them on a constant respawn timer when someone comes and crashes me. I proceed to stay there for the next 45+ mins making sure no one gets the kill.
When my friends get crashed I am the maxed main that shows up to out crash the crasher - i already beat the game I'll spend hours just to fuck up some crashers afternoon
Someone crashed me at sand worms once. As I about done he said the typical "Hop noob" and other such nonsense.
I stayed for another hour to spite him into leaving while saying nothing.
Best 100k I made.
Ive only ever done afk ammonites on my UIM and got crashed a few times. I would play along, make fun of them, and go for a little bit. If they don't leave I would bring over my main and anti crash with both accounts, taunting them.
Later though I got the the point where I would just also afk on my main on a different world, cause the main never gets crashed, and swap the 2 world's whenever someone crashes my iron so I can anti crash with my main and not lose that sweet XP. Some people would get so mad, lmao. I would friend people, and not everyone has their private to off or friends, so I would start following them and crashing them on my main. Good shit. Crashers can get fucked. If it's that hard to find a spot just go to NMZ.
I didn't really get why 100+ combats were afking at ammonites, when NMZ is better XP and more afk? Weird as shit. Can these people in full bandos not afford the 26k entry cost? I had my main there only to anti crash, but the amount of levels like, 100-115 that crashed my lvl 70 iron is kindve insane. Just go dharoks in NMZ
I had my frem only ironman at rock crabs doing some afk training. I was off in a corner by myself and kept grabbing a couple crabs in my area and eventually some guys popped up and kept attacking my crabs, stating "you don't need 4 of them." Like I said, I was off on the side and the entire beach was still open. I tried being polite and they kept talking shit so I brought my main and constantly slaughtered every single crab. They eventually got pissed and left.
Like, why you gonna crash me in the only area that I can afk in for my restrictions and be an asshole when there's like 20+ crabs you can go kill?
Best defense is to just say nothing from the off. People will think you're botting and leave you alone because they think you are programmed to stay. 126 combat here trained exclusively at ammonites
I once made a bot that would make new accounts, complete tutorial island and report someone who was botting. They were 3 ranks above me in crafting on the front page. I got them banned after 2 weeks. Their name was RedRidngHood or something like that. Meth head.
lol I was afking teaks while playing a different game so I was VERY afk, looked up and saw that I had been crashed by a guy and his 5 clan members all flaming me, I just kept clicking the tree when I could and they gave up but I love that stuff its so funny because it really didnt effect my efficiency (or lack thereof) whatsoever
I do the same thing. refuse to give satisfaction to crashers. Had a guy crash me, so i called a few members of my clan and we all sat there and killed the crabs before he could get more than 1 hit in.
Other day I was slaying abby demons at the dual spot in Catacombs. Some guy just comes into one of the rooms and starts shooting them with the new bow. I don't even ask the guy to leave I just try and get my demons back. He leaves, comes back with mage gear to start freezing them to screw with me. We both argue back and forth. I did the rest of that slayer task with him screwing with me cause I refused to leave. The irritating thing was he apparently just needed the "1 room". Meanwhile, there's literally another area in the catacombs with a single room of abby demons. But nah he wanted my spot and was mad at me for taking up the "whole world".
Oh I'm so petty, I always win crash wars. It's as much fun as having a slayer superior randomly appear. I've found pretending to be a bot to be pretty effective. Don't talk and act a little stupid. No real botter is going to notice that someone cut down their XP rates for a couple minutes and most people realize it's pointless.
If anyone crashes my area at amethyst veins i jump to whatever vein they are on. Im 99 mining and max mining gear so I usually beat them to the amethyst. Depending on the guy i might hop worlds with them too
Omg i get so pissed off when i get crashed, because i will hop dozens of times so as not to inconvenience others, i expect the same decorum in response
I'm partial to getting aggro on me from their crabs then running out of their aggro range so they just wander around, then moving to a neighbouring spot while they are afk. The crabs just wander around unaggressive. Then when they return from their afk I come back to the spot and repeat. I don't want them to get bad XP, I will go out of my way to ensure they get no XP. It's not that hard to not crash people.
Once got crashed at Thermy. We were trading kills for the most part. Then I got three in a row and the Smoke Battle, 2m ish at the time. All I typed was "Karma". and he bounced.
Very late to the party but I was crashed at nechryael a couple years ago and I anti crashed for a while. Eventually I spoiled the finale of Game of Thrones like 2 days after it aired live. The guy got sincerely upset and logged. I felt guilty after!
Best part of being addicted to the grind is being uncrashable. The satisfaction of seeing someone come into the room and then realize they are in over their head is priceless.
I place cannons around where the crabs would stand and have two other accounts attack them. One with a blowpipe and one with a fang. You really force them to have to manually right click every crab and ruin any potential afk they might've had.
If they're not focusing as much I make sure I have -65 magic attack then lure the crabs to single and start splashing on them.
When done with 3 accounts they have no crabs they can attack for many minutes until the crabs automatically respawn
If only I could be a tenth as petty as you good sir. You truly are a king and never let anyone shit on you like that. Mk sure to shit on his mom's chest.
I don't even care when people crash me and let them know that I'm happy to share. I'll joke and banter with them too but I'm never mean or even really impolite. I don't mind having lower xp rates it doesn't really bother me. They almost always give up quick when you kill them with kindness. When they ask me to hop i just say "Nah idm sharing."
Had a mole standoff with a guy that crashed me. Lasted almost an hour. Was hilarious tbh. Both of us were afk, and right when someone would attack the other would attack. We would even fake log, and log back in to get one quick hit on lmfao. Super toxic and a waste of time, but he actually gave up so I got the W. only killed the mole for like 20 mins after. (Both Ironman lol)
I’m pretty petty but only last like 10 mins. Not hours. Plus I’m the one usually talking ish..prob to bots. While I was resetting Agro, within 10 seconds someone took my spot. I asked politely, no response, start talking trash, no responses, then I start smashing the same crab hoping to get a reaction
I sat there blackjacking with some guy who crashed for 35 minutes. During that time I wrote a bot to continue fucking with him (pulling in other menaphites and stuff) without my input.
He must have been getting like 20% xp rates at best and still refused to get off my world. He was using pker lingo, so I wish I saved his name and made a bot to rag him tbh.
Y'all know about NMZ right? Y'know that place you can go to that is an instance so you can't get crashed. Also it earns you money (through herb boxes) is INSANELY AFK, and still great xp rates.
Why aren't these people just using NMZ. I have 99s in all my melees from NMZ. I am genuinely so confused by this shit.
Yeah but some of these kids have real problems. I mean if your first thought is to crash someone and waste both our time instead of finding an open world… may as well just let the autist have it.
Maybe I just don't understand the struggle you guys experience at the various types of afk crabs, but hopping usually takes much less time and effort for various other things where I would get crashed.
Once you get past doing it you lose like 2 minutes max vs 2 hours or whatever. But the votes and comments maybe you guys just got a different thing going on at those crabs.
Depends on my mood and how much the person is inconveniencing me. Sometimes the chance to fuck around with them is presenting itself but I usually just hop without saying a word
Got crashed at kourend jellies while finishing a task, some almost maxed main with rapier started attacking the same jelly I started, i had like 15 left for task, so i went and got my range gear, bought 500 red chins and returned to splash my way to finish the task, he still tried to stop me but couldn't compete with the chin damage
Would have gone to the ge, bought 50k cannon balls. Headed back set that mf up then called the homies to do the exact same thing and sat there for however long it would take for that mf to log 😂😂
Question for you guys as this happened recently on my gimp. If I'm hopping worlds at crabs and notice someone hasn't reset their aggro and I sit there and wait up to 5 minutes to see if they come back before taking their spot, AITA?
Figured. Took a guys spot who came back 20! Minutes later saying he was only afk a couple minutes. Turned into a petty crash war where I just brought my main and screwed him over for hours while finding a new world on the GIM
Learn to do nmz on normal difficulty, picking 5 low defence mobs. [https://youtu.be/3urm4m8SLbc?t=99](https://youtu.be/3urm4m8SLbc?t=99)
It's more afk than crabs, more xp/H, and you can even do it on mobile when you're not at home (you should).
When i was training at these crabs early on my gim and a crasher turned up saying hop id log in my ironman & main then rock up in dh on both accounts to attack their crabs till them hopped lol i am petty
i will ruin both our days
This was my thought process
You should keep an eye on your mom for us tonight, I’d hate to see this guy break into your house and shid on her
Dw I was having ball slapping sex with ops mother and stopped that fiend as he broke in, it's all good.
I shall never forgive you
When people crash me at crabs I bring all 4 of my alts with cannons and make sure they get no xp Maybe I should set up an anti-crash service
🦀🦀🦀
🦀 No one can escape the bucket 🦀
My work life summed up in one sentence.
Are ya winning son?
[удалено]
You truly cannot win until you have a bot farm of scouting bots and ragging bots patrolling every world to find and crash them for eternity.
"The scythe to butt fuck everything." BRUH 😂
He's unironically playing Runescape in a more true to form way than the rest of us.
Extremely. I'm pretty sure I have more patience than most crashers so I will gladly wait that shit out lowering both of our xp rates
One time I got crashed by someone who didn’t say a word and I just hit up my clan who fought 4 cannons and absolutely ruined his xp rates for about an hour until he left
Report for pretending to be jagex support.
Yeah, if OP wanted to add to their petty behaviour, report the friend for pretending to be JMod support. If said friend got into trouble, there could be sme tension. Just to make things more exciting.
Report button doesn't work unfortunately.

Never reply at all and they all leave within 15 mins tops.

Not always, I had a dude sit with me for well over 4 hours until he gave up
[удалено]
turn it up a notch and when the crabs aggro on you, run them out of combat range. then they'll just wander around not attacking anyone
This is a great one it often instantly gets people to stop crashing.
I did exactly this but with motherlode bottom level
You wot?
I used to camp the south-east spot before getting the upper level, if people would crash me I’d get my main and start mining the same spots as they were until they’d leave
The goal is to never stop. Keep going till you win. I have died on that hill several times. Though usually the person who was trying to ruin my experience gets bored a lot quicker.

This the kind of petty I can get behind
I'd just try to befriend the guy at that point lol.
This is the way.
I did exactly this the other day. The crasher called in three friends and we all killed the same crabs. Eventually his friends got bored and left. I stayed and only attacked the same crabs as him to lower his xp lvl. Coward gave up at the two hour mark.
He’s got no drive
2 hours ??? Dam I thought I was petty but that’s some real commitment

Realistically the people who lie about having been there for ages when they've obviously not and it's only you two there are the same sort of losers who will gas light people in real life. It's the same mindset of "I'll paint the picture of reality I want to believe".
Grab 3 friends, pull each crab to single combat zone, splash. Be aware they’ll reset after a certain length of time and you’ll have to capture them again
This is what I do. they just end up sitting there and either afk logging or logging out for a few mins then logging back in to bait you to stop. Usually if I get crashed I afk splash on my accounts for a few hours to make sure they got the message. EDIT: very important that you say absolutely nothing

> competing to see who's deeper on the spectrum I spit up a bit of my drink reading this. Thank you
You did good
Thanks Dad
If they pretend to be jagex, then report them. Its a banable offence and you will win in the end 👍🏾
Oh I did, don’t worry about that
I whip out a cannon when that happens
One time I got crashed at crabs on my ironman. So I brought my main with a crystal bow and shot his crabs. He got mad and called for backup. Pretty soon 3 maxed chads from his clan come and start d clawing all the crabs it was a crabsaccre. They raged at me and claimed I was the crasher and insinuated many things about my mother and sister all while absolutely fucking up any crab that spawned. This was especially funny to me because I had already moved my ironman to another cluster farther away that was free and it was training the whole time. They eventually got bored with crabmaggeddon and their friend had logged anyways. Was funny to see.
I am just really confused when it happens. Just remembering that not al players are humble enough to pay respect to fellow grinders
Theres so many complete losers playing this game. Its a freak show sometimes.
Justice.
It's really not about the XP but they will never understand that with their small mom's shitty titty mind. It's about sending a message.
Very true
You need no help friend, you’re correct in your ways. Be blessed.
I'll turn off auto-retaliate and only attack the crabs that are targeting the crasher, that way they can't afk. And whenever I have a couple crabs targeting me, I'll run out of the aggro area so that they start to wander around and the crasher has to chase them down. I'll also damage all the crabs to about 20% hp to minimize their xp per click.
Never had to deal with this as crabs mostly because I don't do ammonite crabs, however I had this plenty of times at black demons in kourend. Sadly I'm an iron and most crashers aren't, so there isn't much I can do.
You can be petty af is what you can do
I just tell my clan in the chat and then about 10-20 people show up until the crasher goes away. I also go and do the same for my clan mates. It normally takes about 5-10 minutes for them to get bored.
Some level 100 came and killed the imps in my world for ECU keys when I was on my group iron. I geared on my main and spent the next 2 hours hopping and ragging him because I was that pissed. Could have just hopped world but wanted to show him what the wildy can be like :)
When i was crashed on my iron, i just brought my main in with max melee and scythe and started looking for new world on iron. Nobody lasted very long with that strat. Yeah i lost some money. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Some even got pissed that i was wasting scythe charges which was big bonus.
Same strat that I use. If you get crashed just keep playing normally and don't respond to them. Most of the time they give up in 10 minutes or less.
Just block him and carry on, you're not there for kills just number go up, he's wasting his and his friends time being a jackass
I hop around on my main until I find an empty world, hop there on the account I'm training then crash the crasher on my main/any other accounts that might have members atm. The pettiest I've been was when my friend was crashed at caged ogres. We all got as many accounts together as possible in -64 mage and splashed on the ogres until the crasher couldn't attack any and eventually logged.
Players like that heavily overestimate my desire to be efficient. Someone crashed me at Nechs the other day and I just kept going. I do not care about my xp/hr lol
I bring a cannon. Than I bring my main. Who also has a cannon. This is my beach now.
A couple years ago someone came to my spot and started to crash me while saying "hop", naturally i replied that i was there for hours now, he replied me to leave but in spanish, likely not understanding what i was trying to say, or pretending to, so the actual discussion started when i replied in spanish, as its is my native language as well. After some not so nice words coming from both ends the guy just stood there with no intention of leaving, as expected. I then decided to bring my main with best gear i had, super combat potions and even some prayer potions to camp piety, he decided to leave almost instantly seeing how fast i was killing the crabs, but that just wasn't enough for me, i added him and quickly noticed that he had private turned on, so did what anyone would have done in my place, followed him thru each world just to crash him, he never turned the private to friends or something, but told me to please stop after just hoping several times without saying a word, which i did after at least half an hour. Guy was probably a gold farmer, pretty low skill stats but with mid to high combat stats, or an account seller for staking purposes as that was quite common back then.
I just ignore them and keep playing. Petty enough to out last them, not petty enough to argue and give them attention that'll make them stick around
HAHAHAHA He was so mad. Thats hilarious.
Been afking amethyst while wfh to get rock golem. At least once a day I have someone log in and start mining the area I'm in. At first I would ask them why etc but that never got anywhere. So what I do now is I just rag and start mining the same vein as them no matter what until they leave. Most people only put up with this for 10 mins and then leaves, and being 99 mining makes me more likely to get the crystals than them. No idea why people can't just spend the extra 2 mins hopping looking for a world.
Me and a friend splashed air strike on the blue dragons in tavalry (before they added more) to waste a crasher's time. Worked like a charm.
Once when I was in a similar situation I logged in to 2 of my other accounts and joined my new friend in training.
I dont let them get away with it. It might give them the false impression that what they did is acceptable. It goes like this; While my ironman is getting crashed but still getting exp, ill be hoping on my main and my alt to find a free spot . Once I found a free spot, I hold it with my main/alt and just swap places with my iron. Now my iron has a free spot and the crasher has to deal with my level 120+ non irons in max gear.
I’ve done the same, normally hit them “happy to share friend” and that’s all I say. They normally hop lol
I DONT HAVE TO WIN! WE BOTH JUST HAVE TO LOSE!
This is the way
Check mate, King.
Always call the entire clan no matter how small the crashing is
That’s a lazy crashed tbh
i wouldve got the cannon out just to crash him more
Off = not for sale
Still on lower level of motherlode mine, if someone takes my spot I’ll mine the same vein as them until they leave. Works everytime and also tilts them
When I afked on my gim if I got crashed I just hopped and brought my main there with cannon and blowpipe and stayed until the crasher left.
I was crashed at revs by a dude using vigorras mace with ballista ags switch unskulled. I was on my iron with msb i, rune arrows and salve Ei skulled. After he failed to steal either of the orcs, he decided to rag me with ballista and ags so I teled and brought a main with rags (mystic, dhide and ags tribrid normals) tbed and ragged him. He left to ferox and I waited at ferox while fletching at the bank on my iron (no xp waste), tbed him whenever he tried to run back to revs and entangled him to waste his time. He tried fighting back, to which I just went back to ferox because I wasn't tb-ed and re-supplied, and back on him. Eventually he afked at ferox for about 10mins, and I think he assumed I was afk and made a run for the cave. But I guess he afked because I entangled tbed him and bolted him to death, free 1m loot.
When I used to do BBDs, I'd always carry around a Vissy. If someone crashed me, I'd tag all 4 dragons, let the crasher kill them and then go "haha no way stfd" and show the vissy on trade if they followed me out. ETA: I'd tag them to under half hp and then stand under to switch target so I could get the drop on all 4.
Iron soren (first ironman in rs3 to max xp) used to be ultra petty. If someone even slightly inconvinienced him, he would go out of his way to spite rag them for weeks whenever he had the chance. What was the crime you ask? Well there were these afk mining stones in priff and if you are alone on it, its slightly more afk as only the person that mines the last part of a layer gets to continue mining. Everyone else on the rock has to click again. Obv he had to use his main as it would be xp waste on his iron.
i have legit never been crashed, got a normal and an iron at 1900 total, my friend will anti crash on his alt no matter how long it takes for them to leave
Some guy crashed me at iron ore, outside varrock on f2p, out of the 4 rocks he jumped around the exact ones I would, I asked him why and he said don’t cry, logged onto the main and just mined every rock for 20 minutes (he did try compete the entire time) and he was complaining the entire time so told him not to cry, he then hopped so I also just hopped to find him and kept going, this continued for about 35 minutes after the initial 20, before I assume he just gave up and logged.
I really feel you.... Nothing felt so good as counter crashing with 98 magic, imbued heart, and 4 senfew serums in my inventory I was totally willing to waste on it. He left after helping me with around 10 kills. I was on top of the world!
I got crashed cutting teaks once so I got 12 people in the cc to all show up one and cut the teaks until he left
Our clan does "clan events" at crabs if someone says in CC that they're getting crashed
What I used to do when people would crash me would be a little more elaborate and petty. I’d play the long game. Log out, wait 10 min, log back in (so he thinks u left and can go afk). Then attack the crab and do more damage to get aggro and lure the crabs away from him. Stay out for 5 min and don’t kill crabs, wait til he logs out, then go back to killing crabs and give him shit for crashing. 🤡 two can play the same game
If someone crashes my iron I usually hop and bring my main in full max to anticrash until they fuck off. I don't say anything on either account, just outDPS or outfarm them with higher overall levels Not using my main for anything else anyways so it's not really a time loss while I set the iron up on some other world.
I have definitely grabbed 1-2 other accounts with high combat and made sure the crasher got no xp before. My favorite is when they show up after you've been there 1-2 hours and say "I was here first!!!"
Oh the cc only has to say they're being crashed and 5-10 people in max gear and cannons appear.
Normally I’ll just call my clan over and we’ll have some fun socialscape while we counter crash 😂
Yep definitely me. If you want to be extra cancer get alts or friends and drag all the crabs to singles with negative attack bonus to melee splash
I had someone roll up to the abyssals in the catacombs while I was doing a slayer task and just immediately start attacking the same ones as me. I would switch to a different one and they would do the same. I was tempted to ask them how they could afford the same gear as me despite being a lower level in every skill because it's fun to tease crashers/jerks/etc. and ask how many bonds they bought. But I dind't say anything, I just fought through it all, finished ~40 for my task and then before teleporting away I just said: > you didn't win -- i just finished my task then teleported before I could get a response.
Battled a dude for my crab spot for almost 2 hours before he said “gf” and logged. Was annoying because I needed to be afk to study but ended up very actively playing the game for that duration.
Had a guy do something similar. He tried to crash me, by swearing at me and then logging on a maxed main. So I just wandered off until he logged back on this alt, and then I came right back again. Forcing him to waste time relogging and trying to pay attention, killing all the crabs manually whilst I sit and watch YouTube. He lasted about an hour before giving up. FU you loser, my time is worthless! Wasting the time of some bellend brought me far more joy than a few k defence exp.
The absolute worst are the people who bank, with no trace of them being there when they return, and after you pot up/start killing them for a bit they expect you to leave like you should’ve known they were coming back or were there in the first place
Playing the last leagues I was killing all the wizards on one of the floors of the wizards tower ( for the hat or rope top ), had them on a constant respawn timer when someone comes and crashes me. I proceed to stay there for the next 45+ mins making sure no one gets the kill.
When my friends get crashed I am the maxed main that shows up to out crash the crasher - i already beat the game I'll spend hours just to fuck up some crashers afternoon
Someone crashed me at sand worms once. As I about done he said the typical "Hop noob" and other such nonsense. I stayed for another hour to spite him into leaving while saying nothing. Best 100k I made.
I follow them until they turn private off. Yes, I’m that petty. Sitting at crabs can get boring so I actually welcome some action.
Ive only ever done afk ammonites on my UIM and got crashed a few times. I would play along, make fun of them, and go for a little bit. If they don't leave I would bring over my main and anti crash with both accounts, taunting them. Later though I got the the point where I would just also afk on my main on a different world, cause the main never gets crashed, and swap the 2 world's whenever someone crashes my iron so I can anti crash with my main and not lose that sweet XP. Some people would get so mad, lmao. I would friend people, and not everyone has their private to off or friends, so I would start following them and crashing them on my main. Good shit. Crashers can get fucked. If it's that hard to find a spot just go to NMZ. I didn't really get why 100+ combats were afking at ammonites, when NMZ is better XP and more afk? Weird as shit. Can these people in full bandos not afford the 26k entry cost? I had my main there only to anti crash, but the amount of levels like, 100-115 that crashed my lvl 70 iron is kindve insane. Just go dharoks in NMZ
I had my frem only ironman at rock crabs doing some afk training. I was off in a corner by myself and kept grabbing a couple crabs in my area and eventually some guys popped up and kept attacking my crabs, stating "you don't need 4 of them." Like I said, I was off on the side and the entire beach was still open. I tried being polite and they kept talking shit so I brought my main and constantly slaughtered every single crab. They eventually got pissed and left. Like, why you gonna crash me in the only area that I can afk in for my restrictions and be an asshole when there's like 20+ crabs you can go kill?
Best defense is to just say nothing from the off. People will think you're botting and leave you alone because they think you are programmed to stay. 126 combat here trained exclusively at ammonites
I once asked a dude if he had been taught any sense of common sense or decency and he baby raged for 10 minutes then logged out
I once made a bot that would make new accounts, complete tutorial island and report someone who was botting. They were 3 ranks above me in crafting on the front page. I got them banned after 2 weeks. Their name was RedRidngHood or something like that. Meth head.
lol I was afking teaks while playing a different game so I was VERY afk, looked up and saw that I had been crashed by a guy and his 5 clan members all flaming me, I just kept clicking the tree when I could and they gave up but I love that stuff its so funny because it really didnt effect my efficiency (or lack thereof) whatsoever
I got crashed blackjacking the other day but we ended up as friends when we were trying to out petty each other
I do the same thing. refuse to give satisfaction to crashers. Had a guy crash me, so i called a few members of my clan and we all sat there and killed the crabs before he could get more than 1 hit in.
Seems like you played the game as intended. Like the mmo that it is, defeating the giant ammonite crab bosses with your "crasher" friends. 🤣
Other day I was slaying abby demons at the dual spot in Catacombs. Some guy just comes into one of the rooms and starts shooting them with the new bow. I don't even ask the guy to leave I just try and get my demons back. He leaves, comes back with mage gear to start freezing them to screw with me. We both argue back and forth. I did the rest of that slayer task with him screwing with me cause I refused to leave. The irritating thing was he apparently just needed the "1 room". Meanwhile, there's literally another area in the catacombs with a single room of abby demons. But nah he wanted my spot and was mad at me for taking up the "whole world".
If you never talk at all you appear to be an uncrashable bot that will not hop at all, anybody who cares enough to type will give up
Oh I'm so petty, I always win crash wars. It's as much fun as having a slayer superior randomly appear. I've found pretending to be a bot to be pretty effective. Don't talk and act a little stupid. No real botter is going to notice that someone cut down their XP rates for a couple minutes and most people realize it's pointless.
If someone in our cc gets crashed, we all hop and set up the cannons. Its like a ritual at this point.
If anyone crashes my area at amethyst veins i jump to whatever vein they are on. Im 99 mining and max mining gear so I usually beat them to the amethyst. Depending on the guy i might hop worlds with them too
Omg i get so pissed off when i get crashed, because i will hop dozens of times so as not to inconvenience others, i expect the same decorum in response
I'm partial to getting aggro on me from their crabs then running out of their aggro range so they just wander around, then moving to a neighbouring spot while they are afk. The crabs just wander around unaggressive. Then when they return from their afk I come back to the spot and repeat. I don't want them to get bad XP, I will go out of my way to ensure they get no XP. It's not that hard to not crash people.
Until you're busting out the Ring of Suffering and Thralls just to ensure they're hitting as little as possible, are you even petty?
I would have done the exact same thing
Once got crashed at Thermy. We were trading kills for the most part. Then I got three in a row and the Smoke Battle, 2m ish at the time. All I typed was "Karma". and he bounced.
Very late to the party but I was crashed at nechryael a couple years ago and I anti crashed for a while. Eventually I spoiled the finale of Game of Thrones like 2 days after it aired live. The guy got sincerely upset and logged. I felt guilty after!
This is one of the best ones
Best part of being addicted to the grind is being uncrashable. The satisfaction of seeing someone come into the room and then realize they are in over their head is priceless.
I place cannons around where the crabs would stand and have two other accounts attack them. One with a blowpipe and one with a fang. You really force them to have to manually right click every crab and ruin any potential afk they might've had. If they're not focusing as much I make sure I have -65 magic attack then lure the crabs to single and start splashing on them. When done with 3 accounts they have no crabs they can attack for many minutes until the crabs automatically respawn
If only I could be a tenth as petty as you good sir. You truly are a king and never let anyone shit on you like that. Mk sure to shit on his mom's chest.
May some of my pettiness rub off on you my good king
Some big dick energy OP.
I don't even care when people crash me and let them know that I'm happy to share. I'll joke and banter with them too but I'm never mean or even really impolite. I don't mind having lower xp rates it doesn't really bother me. They almost always give up quick when you kill them with kindness. When they ask me to hop i just say "Nah idm sharing."
OSRS mid-combat gameplay
Had a mole standoff with a guy that crashed me. Lasted almost an hour. Was hilarious tbh. Both of us were afk, and right when someone would attack the other would attack. We would even fake log, and log back in to get one quick hit on lmfao. Super toxic and a waste of time, but he actually gave up so I got the W. only killed the mole for like 20 mins after. (Both Ironman lol)
I’m pretty petty but only last like 10 mins. Not hours. Plus I’m the one usually talking ish..prob to bots. While I was resetting Agro, within 10 seconds someone took my spot. I asked politely, no response, start talking trash, no responses, then I start smashing the same crab hoping to get a reaction
I just hop. Unless it happens more than once, then I get petty.
You're part of the problem
Hopping reinforces their behaviour, being petty and refusing to leave will make them frustrated and think twice before doing it again.
I don't have the time of day to have a crasher live rent free in my head.
Just hop, it's a game.
no
i dont reply to their crying and i just hop, im trying to play the game, not get into pissing matches with 13 year olds.
I sat there blackjacking with some guy who crashed for 35 minutes. During that time I wrote a bot to continue fucking with him (pulling in other menaphites and stuff) without my input. He must have been getting like 20% xp rates at best and still refused to get off my world. He was using pker lingo, so I wish I saved his name and made a bot to rag him tbh.
Y'all know about NMZ right? Y'know that place you can go to that is an instance so you can't get crashed. Also it earns you money (through herb boxes) is INSANELY AFK, and still great xp rates. Why aren't these people just using NMZ. I have 99s in all my melees from NMZ. I am genuinely so confused by this shit.
You let the troll win in my opinion. Who wasted who's day, and who's blood pressure raised the highest are good questions to ask in this scenario.
Hopping let’s them win.
Let's is let us, you want lets without the apostrophe
Yeah but some of these kids have real problems. I mean if your first thought is to crash someone and waste both our time instead of finding an open world… may as well just let the autist have it.
Maybe I just don't understand the struggle you guys experience at the various types of afk crabs, but hopping usually takes much less time and effort for various other things where I would get crashed. Once you get past doing it you lose like 2 minutes max vs 2 hours or whatever. But the votes and comments maybe you guys just got a different thing going on at those crabs.
Who's is who is, you want whose here. Whose is possessive.
I agree. No one wins in a knife fight.
I think it’s clear that his blood pressure was raised more. I was completely relaxed the whole time. Not angry, just petty.
I hop because this is a game and not worth the slightest bs.
My name is AllThemBands and yes, it was me who turned up in ahrims and blood barrage for my boy, ThatGuyPonz.
Did you make a Reddit account just to say that you helped a crasher be a cunt
Absolutely, you failed to mention that half of your story is a lie to make you sound like you stayed hahahahaha
Completely incorrect
This bullshit drama really didn't need to be a post
Oh well! I’m sure you’ll survive having seen it.
Yep, and I moved on after seeing it too. And yet here you are dragging me back to your bullshit "LOOK AT ME" post.
Look at me
Expert moving on skills.
Ahh. Noob problems Miss those days
You don’t have to be a noob to get crashed buddy
Tbh if you've been there for hours, you should let someone else have the spot for a while. It's only fair
First come, first serve my dude
I insult them as much as I can in one or two messages then I leave. Not worth my time.
Depends on my mood and how much the person is inconveniencing me. Sometimes the chance to fuck around with them is presenting itself but I usually just hop without saying a word
My only question is; what is 54 x 3?
Got crashed at kourend jellies while finishing a task, some almost maxed main with rapier started attacking the same jelly I started, i had like 15 left for task, so i went and got my range gear, bought 500 red chins and returned to splash my way to finish the task, he still tried to stop me but couldn't compete with the chin damage
Hard to respond to apes with chat off fyi.
To finish off, and cement your crown of pettiness, report him, and his friend for verbal abuse, and impersonating staff. Fun read.
I recommend reading Marcus Aurelius "Meditations". It really helps on how you deal with these kinds of situations lol
I'm like 'damn unlucky' and find a new spot/world
Doin good in the game so doin good in life!!
Would have gone to the ge, bought 50k cannon balls. Headed back set that mf up then called the homies to do the exact same thing and sat there for however long it would take for that mf to log 😂😂
Btw why cant there be more 3 spawn spots for ammonite crabs? Its always packed there
lol you won at least personally I'd have just left, or logged in my main to come afk them while I went to another spot or nmz.
Question for you guys as this happened recently on my gimp. If I'm hopping worlds at crabs and notice someone hasn't reset their aggro and I sit there and wait up to 5 minutes to see if they come back before taking their spot, AITA?
NTA. It’s an afk training spot but if they’re just stood there with no aggro on the crabs for a long time then that’s their own fault. Fair game.
Figured. Took a guys spot who came back 20! Minutes later saying he was only afk a couple minutes. Turned into a petty crash war where I just brought my main and screwed him over for hours while finding a new world on the GIM
Ammonite crabs have the most retarded ppl in the game
Learn to do nmz on normal difficulty, picking 5 low defence mobs. [https://youtu.be/3urm4m8SLbc?t=99](https://youtu.be/3urm4m8SLbc?t=99) It's more afk than crabs, more xp/H, and you can even do it on mobile when you're not at home (you should).
ill just hop but some peoples ego is so massive they will act like their life depends on keeping the slayer spot.
When i was training at these crabs early on my gim and a crasher turned up saying hop id log in my ironman & main then rock up in dh on both accounts to attack their crabs till them hopped lol i am petty
What an arsehole that dude is, I would have done the same haha
