Fighter torso has amazing defence? Puh-lease. Perhaps one of the reasons for all the untradeable stuff is an attempt to drain cash out of the game. Think about it. When was the last time you bought mystic from the mages guild? Never. After a sufficient supply gets into the game, players just buy from players. Untradeable stops that. You only have 1 source of an item (barrows gloves from the chest, for example.) A pair of barrows gloves will ALWAYS be worth 130k, because you can only get them for that much. Nothing less. That problem of players not buying items from shops could easily be fixed by making it so shop prices aren't rip off prices. Even if they weren't rip-off prices, people would still buy from other players. If the general store buy's for more and sells for less, then, basically the prices of things would just go down. This would not change anything except make everything in the game cheaper...
