I believe one of them major aspects of RuneScapes addictive character is the concrete and readily quantifiable objectives. You aim to get 99 in a stat, or farm a boss for 1K KC or aim for a specific drop from a supervisor. Each these goals have a very clear distinction of"yes I have achieved it" or"no I haven't". This is in comparison to other games like shooters where you steadily improve, but other than MMR or rankings there's nothing quantifiable. I argue any match using an MMR or ranking by definition increases both its addictive tendency and RuneScape gold in turn the toxicity of its playerbase.
As a general viewpoint, I have noticed those who play with PK are less invested in RuneScape and do not have the exact same extent of dependence. Yes they occasionally target for a specific account build, but once that is done many of these are only ever likely to log in to PK. Very simply, PKing in OSRS is not quantifiable. Nobody goes out thinking"I'm going to keep PKing now until I create 10M." You PK to have fun, and you simply quit playing OSRS if you're not having fun. That's the key aspect, these quantifiable aims signifies the aim of enjoying changes from having fun, to just achieving whatever goal you've set for yourself, even if it's despite actual enjoyment.
RuneScape is 100% a dreadful addiction. There were instances where I feel like I hadn't had enough and would play 12 hour plus times. I am aware that there are others that play far more than that also. What exactly does RS offer? You sit down for hours and hours, staring, unblinkingly, in a display for an xp fall. You do not exercise, you hold off for as long as you can, going to the bathroom. You skip meals or eat. I've been playing RuneScape since 2002. I have'stop'times but still get the phone back every so often. And every time I return all I can think of is'the fuck am I playing this shit again'. Like, seriously, who would run around the spot on a screen, for hundreds, if not thousands of hours.
I wish I could put into reading, or artwork. Then I could feel like I have accomplished something. Obtaining a level isn't an achievement. I tell myself that after I move from my apartment and into a house, with more room and a shed, I'll get into woodwork or something stead. When that is, who knows. I hate that I play with RuneScape, and I'm thinking about it when I'm not enjoying it. Sure, I runescape gold 2107 have had something to do in the background, or fun over the last few years and its a great time waster. But honestly, I think is when jagex crumbles and the servers have been turned off. I have wasted an excessive amount of, and too long of my life money. But I'm still here.
