On Reddit, talks about RuneScape’s Venezuelan community have reached a boiling point. 1 post — because eliminated by a moderator — was a guide explaining how to OSRS gold spot and kill RuneScape players within an area of RuneScape commonly utilized to farm dragons. A good deal of the animosity that is directed toward Venezuelan RuneScape players is coming out of RuneScape players who invest their time in the Revenant Caves situated in the Wilderness, a place where RuneScape players may strike other RuneScape players. The Revenant Caves are fairly popular with Venezuelan gold farmers, who usually play in large groups or clans to search green dragons or struggle other RuneScape players. Here, some RuneScape players argue, has made the Revenant Caves”unplayable.”
“Rev caves are the one thing that stops me from becoming compassionate towards them,” reads one reply on Reddit at a RuneScape thread about Venezuelan RuneScape players. “Nothing bothers me walking in each world and being assaulted by an army of rune crossbows and snake bandanas.” “Jagex needs to do something about those Venezuelans,” another RuneScape player wrote, adding:”I don’t care in their real-life situation. They perform with RuneScape solely for monetary gain and it’s destroying the market. They offer nothing to RuneScape, they do not interact within the community”
While some RuneScape players share stories about their negative interactions with Venezuelans, other RuneScape players, like Pip Johnson, are not as critical about them. In fact, Johnson sympathises with the problem that Venezuelan RuneScape players have found themselves in, and describes his experience with one Venezuelan RuneScape participant as”the first real experience” he has had with another RuneScape player online in over 15 decades, after he was gifted things and provided guidance about the best ways to accelerate. “I really do think the fact that the Venezuelan economy is in shambles is dreadful, and I don’t blame anybody there for earning money in any manner they can, irrespective of any effect it may have on RuneScape,” Johnson says.
“Any one of us would do exactly the same.” There is an influx of memes on websites like Reddit parodying the situation which RuneScape players have found themselves in. Johnson believes that they’ve become an easy goal in the RuneScape community for people looking to make cheap jokes at someone else’s expense. “Anonymity brings out the worst in most people,” Johnson writes. “Many RuneScape players believe RuneScape players are taking advantage of RuneScape for individual gain and [that] they shouldn’t be,” he continues. “There’s also a great deal of racism in the internet gaming community. Since they’re so prevalent venezuelans are an easy target. Their population in RuneScape is now somewhat of buy RuneScape gold a meme in the community and this draws even more focus on them especially.”
