    Actually, thinking about it - (I know it's a little off-topic) has anyone tried reselling in the grand exchange? With a new graph implementation, we can see the rise and fall of prices in the exchange, leading to a sort of 'stock market'. It would be rather easy to track the patterns of certain goods and profit from exploiting these patterns.

    A person with higher knowledge of the economy would still be able to dominate lesser people - although you would need a good starting amount of money to benefit.

    Yea somehas made a database that logs the prices. I forget what its called but if you search Grand Exchange Prices in the forum youre bound to find it. But it has everything on an online database, and from what Ive seen is what youre talking about.

    I thought Jagex had implemented (or has already implemented) a graph or some sort of statistics system within the exchange? A database would be external and probably inaccurate unless it obtained its data directly from Jagex data

    Yeah, the GE update sucked, but it made us find new ways to get money though.

    I do agree Rs has lost its fun mmorpg feel that made it interesting in the first place. But, I also believe that we caused that to change for the worst. We cheat, they have their strong sense of "fair play", and decided, perhaps almost against their will to try and prevent macros. In afew years, I predict, they will remove it once the macroings has either stopped or have been drastically reduced.

    I personally am waiting for the newer mmorpg by the same company that made Dofus. Wakfu is the newer game. perhaps it would be good if we started again there when it comes open beta after summer vacation this year?

    critic me plz =].

    rofl. I agree, stop complaining, get a job, go to school, hang out with friends, go to the beach or go huntn'. Theres many things that can benefit you, and playing runescape isn't one of them

    I have been merching whips overnight. I buy them from people for market price and then sell them for max overnight. Many people just are impatient and buy for highest price. So if you stick about 10 up in there, its close to 1m when you sleep. Takes a lot of money, but I do from merching before the GE.

    Well I used to play runescape a year or so ago and when I recently started playing again I was quite confused by the whole dramatic change in economy. But, I do think that, personally, the Grand Exchange has worked in my favour.

    RS is dead. No wildy, no trading; I'd rather play a single player game w/ better graphics.

    The wildy & interaction & simplicity made it appealing. Now it's just a waste of time.

    I totally agree, Rs is stupid and pointless now, I think the most important thing for runescape was Wildy, Pking, player always wanted to rise levels and do quests so they could get the strongest status so they could go kill some other players and get better, now there is just Bounty Hunter? and its so stupid ... no more cool clan wars, no more Runecrafters Pking or noob players pking, or even being pked... I think bounty hunter sucks, revenants suck, clan wars suck... the wildy was what Runescape was all about. Now its about nothing.

    SRL will never die tought, even that Im never going to get over those stupid updates , Ill still auto, for many reasons, mainly because I want to become a real good scripter , also because I want to show Fagex that they will never get rid of Us the autoers , and that those updates beside of being stupid were also useless because we are still there, autoing.

    hehe Peace to all.

    I think the same, but i somehow like Bounty Hunter, i do think it's litteraly nothing compared to the old wilderniss, but it has some fun things, Like that there are always people to kill.

    But meh.. Old wildy.. *Dreams..*

    I miss those days. I remember back when whips were 2 mil and above and rune scimmies were 40k each. I miss Seers being full of people trying to buy whatever they wanted.
    Those were good days.

    Oh my god, it's been such a long time since I've looked at this thread. So much to reply to...

    World of Warcraft FTW! Cheating in it would be a rape against an awesome game like it.
    You do realize that 'exploitation of the economy' isn't actually considered cheating? The so called 'exploitation' happens every day you buy something from the supermarket. Their charging you retail prices as opposed to wholesale prices.

    Honestly, I don't know whats with all the people playing Runescape thinking that 'merchants' and 'being smart' is thievery, considering it happens in Real Life every single day. Somebody on RS forums tried to compare inflation to a burglar breaking into my house. Needless to say, it's obvious these guys haven't been outside in quite a while.

    The wildy & interaction & simplicity made it appealing. Now it's just a waste of time.
    I disagree, most players never, EVER enter the wilderness, except for quests. There's a very small population, but the majority is always in PvE places.

    However, it's true that Jagex has almost killed interaction. The addition of quick chat (Lazy spam fest), removal of trade spam, addition of trade limit, has absolutely ruined the point of the MMORPG, which normally boasts those features (As well as the painful RPG grind)

    What's so bad about 12 year olds?
    Nothing really. It's just that 12 year olds are generally unfamiliar with different life-concepts, and can easily make incorrect decisions in the game.

    Runescape was changed in such a way which benefits people who make mistakes. And since we are all humans, we tend to bash the person who gets something.
