K I have to agree with Tico on this. I disliked the GE from day one anyway. I'd rather sit in fally park and try to buy an item than have GE blow up everything. Jagex might as well remove the GE if they're going to do this.
People no longer have to be online at all to make money. You just have to come on for 2 seconds, place ur crap on GE.. come back hrs later, repeat with the money gained/lost. That just made items cheaper. Everyone can get items easy through the GE where as before, they were more rare AND you have to go to seers or fally to get what you needed and spam the keyboard with whatever u needed.. Actually had competition for buying rather than having the rich guys place large amounts of money for a large amount of items all at once..
Well if this is true then i'm cancelling all my rs memberships cause this game is just going down the drain, starting with selling wheel of fortune spins and now this. It might not be for everyone but its a clever way to make money as it was very similar to real world trading and gave people a different option to simply grinding out a skill to make money.
I for one agree with this. This WILL crash some prices 20-30%, no longer will they be kept at high levels due to rich people. Jagex has been reducing the amount of money people can make by doing absolutely nothing. And I love this update for that. This should help stabilize the market from the merchers.
Although if they were smart they would just increase the revenue per item to make up for the loss in quantity.
I'm sorry, when did you even start playing RS? 2 years ago? They have made the game so much easier. Don't complain b/c you actually have to do something now to gain GP's.

I remember going to Fally to buy things, those were the good ole days. Thing is, GE is good for the people who don't have time to sit there and trade. A lot of people OVERPAY for items in the GE, which is their fault for being so impatient. I just capitalize on that.

Anyone wanna learn me to merch?![]()
I will take the cost of instantly buying items over having to spam fally any day. The GE provides a major service regardless if people make money off it or not.
oww no more flippingWell will have to seacrh some other money methods :S
You can give me your guy now

I only ever flipped rune plates when I was level 50 or so, so flipping isn't that hard on me, especially with all the good prices now.
My advice: buy up on the huge amounts of cheap stuff, and then when jagex realizes the mistake theyve made, sell it back at a huge profit.
I've been playing for about 7 years and whether you like it or not flipping actually takes skill, most of the people who complain about it are ones who are unable to make great amounts of money from flipping. Also, it is no different from the merching that occured before the g.e came about. I will complain because it makes the game boring, rs is ruining a good trading system- not everyone wants to make money by grinding.
back in the days, flipping didnt existed

maybe next they will just get rid of the GE, so maybe then w2 will be restored to it's former glory <3
I would love jagex forever if they did that
edit: If the delay is 4 hours, then all they did was restore it to how it always was.

I too am one of those that buys an item and decides he hates it and sells it right back for w/e the price sells for...
I do not like this. Hmm is Jagex being run by monkeys?
So no-one has confirmed whether this update was really implemented. Was it?
I also enjoyed the old days of merching, I just don't think I would have the time to do it that way anymore![]()
Its been confirmed and implemented already;
Ive tried it on a many runes and armor's
There are videos on youtube about it
And there is a shitstorm of rants about it on the rs forums
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_XBqtyW89o
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zv-kjGaGt8
Go check those videos out if you wish to see proof.
So, understanding what is going to happen to an items price within the next 10-15 minutes and implementing a change on that item that will stop you from losing money and actually profit from that item takes no skill.
I take it you've never flipped before. It's time consuming it takes quite a while to actually find a few good items to flip that have a steady price and a steady profit margin even then you have to have reserve items just in case your original items profit margins collapse.
To actually make a lot of money you have to constantly be watching your buy/sell offers thinking about what the others merchants are going to do whether you should do a price check/lower/raise your current sell/buy price again or just wait a couple minutes and see if it'll start buying/selling.
I know a few people that have actually lost money flipping because they don't fully understand the concept so they start to hate on people that make millions flipping. I don't hate on people with high runecrafting that are able to craft double nature runes. So players shouldn't hate on me for using something that JaGEx implemented into the game.
There are countless videos, tutorials, etc willing to help you learn how to flip but you have to have a certain mentality and a lot of patience, which kids these days don't have, to actually become a decent merchant that makes a hefty sum of gold.
Please don't talk rubbish about flipping when you don't fully comprehend it. All it's doing is making you look silly.

Flipping actually required skills... you had to get your own personal list.. which meant trial and error... this list could change with a click of a finger... if you risked it and went big and the market crashed you'd lose mills....
Flipping = was tough

My best Grand Exchange flipping days were when the 4 hour limit was imposed. I stopped fliping after that (botting), but I don't see the limit as a huge problem.
The fact that this update was hidden angers me too. Grr, this game has gone down the drains.
