Zidane3838 : (12:19 AM) The thumb incident was an hour or so before the leg incident, I was playing baseball with a stick and a basketball, lol. ANYWHO, so for my leg, I was swinging my lanyard with keys around quite violently and it connected with my leg. I had to sit down immediately and couldn't walk for 20-30 min :(.

I'm a local resident in New York (for another day anyway) and I snooped this article out of the New York Post. This is by far the worst case of gaming addiction I've seen for RS, much worse than RS Timmy ever could have dreamed to be.

Wow. I can't believe it. That's what the world has come too. Better to stay away from a game if you know it's not going to help you.

Can you imagine posting "gun to my face," in the scam/hack/cheat experience? That seriously could have happened in this predicament.

I read that sometime ago too, people can get so insane o.O. Not to mention the paper adds that the guy says he still does it, and supposedly it goes really well. That's just more fuel for other farmers to keep going, especially when one actually says it's good >.>.

The stupidity, maybe gold sellers will see this and stop selling I don't see it happening anytime soon. I just hope it doesn't take a major insident to get it through people's heads.

It seems that some people need a mental evaluation. It's just a game. It is for your enjoyment. And you have to take it this far? Faith in humanity drops dramatically.
