Zezima!@@!@!@

With runecrafting though, he was given the essences to make the 2x nature runes for the line of people. The experience he was getting from the massive line was quicker then any method you'd get from today unless it was something like stocked up effigies. That being said he did get an amazing amount of experience back in the day, before 200m was even known to be a max and what makes him great is how long he stayed in the top position and by how far ahead of everyone he was.

Not every number 1 player gets the recognition he does nowadays, but I'll be interested to see if whoever gets to 5b xp first has the same sort of crowd following them, I somewhat doubt it though, just because of the way people talk about him, but it's possible. The way I see it, even with the amount of hours and persistence that was required back in the day to get max all skills first, getting the 5b xp first is taking years of hectic hours, and with the experience rates nowadays it's easy to lose your position (not necessarily in rank, but in hours till 5b according to all the trackers), requiring a lot more effort and time spent.

Anyway I'll quit talking as I've gone off topic, I do love watching the methods used and the persistence for them from the top players and Zezima was something of a prodigy.
