Seeing as how this is my first response to an issue of Tip It times. I noticed that there was an omission for one of the positive reasons that bringing back Free Trade. We probably all have a few fellow players we'd like to consider online friends and as such on special holidays such as Xmas and B-days we would like to get them a gift. When they removed the ability to get them anything worth while then that hampered the enjoyability of the game. It made me feel really good to get a "friend" something they wanted. I know most of u consider this a minor bonus, but my online friends was the primary reason I enjoyed the game soo much. Nothing made me happier to see the joy I gave a friend when they got their gift.

I just got through reading the TipIt Times editor's newest article. It was very thought provoking and induced me to provide a quick note on a very accurate observation of Jagex's current market position. I agree wholeheartedly with the editor's remarks and myself being a business major do have some expertise on market trends feel that Jagex should be more focused on the customer and their needs and not the bottom line. They need to find a happy medium that will please both the accountants and the players of Runescape. It is entirely possible to such as evidenced by such companies as Dell Computers, which of course more than survived the dot com craze it outgrew some of the more situated more bigger companies. I hope I didn't bore too many of you RS players with my comments. All in all I really enjoy reading the editor's weekly aritcles as the are both enlightening and entertaining.
