    Default Runescape -> Government

    Now, I feel like Jagex and Runescape have gone too far. They try to cut down on RL trading, autoing, and they are updating and patching runescape to do it. The new shop updates and the GE updates almost turned runescape upside down.

    This is how I feel but..
    It seems like Jagex is too deeply rooted into reducing rule breaking. Seems like they forgot to make the game fun. I'm not sure if any of you think this, but it seems like runescape is becoming more like a government now. They can alter prices easiely with the new GE. For those of you who have taken Economy classes, this would be like the government controlling the market. Runescape probably won't be a free market anymore. It also totally destoryed merchanting.

    New Edit 12/10/07

    New. Update. SUCKS. For those of you who dissagree with me about Jagex acting as a government. I'm pretty sure you agree with me now. Controling drops, Controlling trades.
    worst of all.
    PKING IS RUINED.

    They are ruining 95% of the game to stop the 5% that Real World Trades.

    This is only how I feel. Discuss?

    I think the same. Even though its their game, they need to change what that crack down on. No autoing = Prices SKYROCKET.

    Yes I realized that too. Probably half of runescape is supported by autoing. The wc, fishing, mining, pures. Many of them use autoing to do what it does best. I'm not sure if you have, but have you noticed the drastic price changes after the shop update?

    I agree, to most of it. If they were smart they would have left the prices in the shops alone instead of changing them to what the GE prices are. They should have tried to use zybez's market prices instead of allowing us to physically change them.

    I agree. They could easily fix this by eliminating the price +/-5% thing. If they would do that, the market would stabalize again, and merchanting would be loads better.

    They claim to have put the 5% thing in b/c of price manipulation. If that's true, it's pointless. There always has been and probably always will be some people trying to trick others into paying more/less. And ruining the rs market just to stop price manipulation....pathetic.

    Scripting? You mean, if we got somebody inside Jagex? And did some server level scripting? Explain.
    I guess the holidays are over - no sig for now.

    Yes I agree, the Dual arean update was lookin 90%. Until I found the 3k cap. That turned it 90% bad. The reason I think DA was updated was to stop buying/selling pure acounts because they know we stake with them. GE was also 90% good but with the price control it just turned it to 90% bad.

    yea, but in a way it makes it a lot easyer for us to sell our goods that come from autoing like those extra oak and willow logs

    The prices have dropped for some things ( or I just haven't checked ) a fair bit.


    I do think that the price control is ridiculous, as you can still manipulate the prices. Actually, I think that making the price be within a range causes more manipulation. Like, if we all got to geather, we could possibly hold yews at 5k ea.

    yeah i agree with you robot. with the new shop update and cooperation people can move prices just below the shop price. THis changes prices dramaticly.

    The Grand Exchange is horrible for regular sellers and great for autoing sellers (and also great for buyers on both ends). If someone autos to get all of their goods then they normally sell them for the minimum price and then go back to work, mainly because it is easy for them to get more. Regular sellers have to work hard to get their goods and want the highest price possible to get more $/hour.

    I used to sell whatever I autoed for ~15% under the regular price and could sell 30,000 bow strings for 150 gp each in under 20 minutes. Now, I can sell bow strings for a higher price (I guess close to the same) in the same or less time. I'm happy and that's all that matters.

    wealthy players need raw mats to level, noob players need raw mats to level
    who is there to deliver?!
    THE AUTOERS!!!
    we make runescape's happy little world go 'round!

    there's my two cents

    im pissed off about the grand exchange

    I used to be an wicked good mechanter that could turn 500k into 5m in like an hour

    The only reason i started autoing is because I was scamed like 3 or four times, and then hacked, coming up to a total of 28m. Darn Jagex has to destroy the possibility of me ever getting that rich again

    Yeah i know. Town has a good point though. It is easier for us autoers to sell stuff. But I think it is still unfair for runescape and Jagex to start controlling the market. They are going way too extreme just to stop cheating. The old ways were a lot better. Might be a little harder to sell off our materials, but hey, free market.

    Randoms are really gay, not that I don't like the SCAR's challenge to solve them, but its stupid if you're playing legit and a GayvilChicken kills you when you're watching the msn window...

    Haha. Seems like, in a sense, autoing is more safe because it watches out for those randoms. Cuase the point of autoing is so you can do something else.

    Actually, it should be, "In Soviet Jagex, scune rapes YOU!" But those things are idiotic.

    Also, how many of you actually play legit? It's kinda stupid complaining about how they're changing rules to ban you on a "cheating" forum. (Ok, we can get into all sorts of stupid discussions about how it's not really cheating, but no.)

    I think a lot of people here play legit occasionally. But I think many people here worry that their autoed goods are going to get pwnd and decrease in value by %500... lol

    Hmmm.... 5gp feather * 500% = 25gp.

    300,000gp Dragon halberd * 500% = 1,500,000

    And thats not if you add the current price to it XD!

    I use to play legit, but gave up. Just became too time consuming and repedative. Thus, I entered the world of autoing.
