  1. I think deathwing was referring to either Godwars dungeons +110 cmb 0r avansies +70 range, or even potato cactus i think are about about 500k p/h now even o7lower levels chaos druids are close to 400k.

     

    Or the traditional rune ore mining or double nats at level 92

  2. I first started this thread to generally document the more obvious price manipulations, it quickly became clear that what was at issue was not exclusively manipulation by merchants or clans of merchants, but by updates affecting the supply/demand of certain items

    Firstly Vials,

    The living rock Caverns update although great for high level miners, has impacted the economy

     

    Gold, has seen a dip

    many thanks for the support =) advice, flames, bumps always appreciated and more to come..

  3.  

    ON TOPIC: I may not have been around back then but most of my friends have and as for this rant I totally disagree. The old economy was too cut throat and full of scammers for my taste and the ge has revolutionized gameplay in an awesome way

     

    As for price restrictions, look at what the merchers are doing... the whole price restriction thing hasnt stopped price manipulation from ruining the economy

     

    Sorry, if you wern't old enough to play before the Anti-RWT update then your opinion on it is moot.

     

    Also I don't quite understand what /merchants/ are doing in regards to price restrictions that is so bad

  4. You have been concected to a random stranger, say Hi

     

    You: hi?

    Stranger: A WILD ABRA APPEARS

    you: er... go Golbat

    Stranger: ABRA used teleport!

     

    stranger has disconnected

     

    fffffffuuuuuuuuuuu

  5. I'm not talking about merching, price manipulation etc but genuniely good methods of bringing money into the system, things that might not seem obvious at first glance.

     

    Right now wizard robes in f2p (for lower levels) and chaos druids for p2p (also for low levels) + God Wars (Combat 90+) seem to be the fastest.

     

    will edit laer with xp rates ta

  6. Oh, god you are cancer. Memes are cross-referenced jokes, if you don't understand both reference and the context of it, then you just as worse as a person that doesn't speak a language swearing in it.

     

    Meme's online aren't funny to me anymore. And I overuse them a lot to be honest.

     

    Now when someone slips in a meme in casual conversation, I tend to be amused. Especially in larger groups where you can tell who caught it and who has no idea whats going on.

     

    >> and who has no idea of whats going on

     

    And that's the whole point, memes excludes those on the edges and it becomes indecipherable to newbies, simply saying for example "you need to an hero" isn't in its self funny unless you know which Golden Ipod winner it came from.

     

    tl:dr lurk moar

  7. Just my 2pence worth but..

     

    The seems to be a current on RSOF and else where that those that seem to see inflation as a problem

    also seem to be the sort of player that says;

     

    "Well yes I trick when I want a few million gold for little effort

    but frown on other players that do the same."

     

    and

     

    "As it makes my raw materials more expensive,

    especially after I'm used to paying artificially low prices to dirt poor f2per's."

     

    Before the G.E merchanters concentrated on collecting small amount of resources from the low level players and gathered them in 1000s to be passed on to the high level players. But with the GE the invisible price differentals between the price of i.e. 28 coal and 5000 coal that many merchanters lived on, became visible meaning if you wanted to make money in an eviroment where everyone is aware of the exact price of an object then you had to diversify, hence manipulators, etc

  8. obviously it was a slow day at jagex game development, so after a little scratching heads, one particularly bright spark said;

     

     

     

    "I know lets put in a quick chat system that loads of people say they want,"

     

    "say thats a good idea but just thing thats missing that would make it great."

     

    "Whats that Jim?"

     

    "Lets use a menu system that takes ages to use, so it would be quicker to type it out!"

     

    "Thats fantastic! but wait, lets make dedicated servers where you can only use quick chat!!"

     

     

     

    Amazing, make players practically unable to communicate with anyone but in stilited language, meaning everyone sounds like a [cabbage] robot .

  9.  

     

     

    Answering on my own since I'm in a similar situation... I know what I want. Have known for a long time however I can not finalise the design for it...

     

    It's rather irksome trying to work with a full back piece... 4 astrology/zodiac (1 for each family member); and 2 symbolizing my heritage (Australian & Hungarian).

     

     

     

    yay?

     

     

     

    Please no Joseph Fritzl jokes, it would be very poor taste

  10. I love smithing and have been chipping away at it since about '03, its become the reason I return to the game time after time and frankly Dragon armours killed rune..

     

     

     

    There are many threads about how smithing can re-gain the glory days of the "king of skills" and I'm sorry but that is not going to happen.

     

    But it seems that it has fallen behind other skills and mini-games and there are a number of ideas mooted that could bring it back to 'useful,' but I'm not going to rehash old news.

     

     

     

    Why not give smithers the ability to turn metal items back into bars, by using the blast furnace (avalable only to P2P'ers) or a new area(?!) but on a decreasing scale, either returning percentage of the total metal items added (meaning rune items would return more rune bars that bronze items would return bronze bars) or an arbitrary rate of around 30% (e.g. A steel body plate would return 2 steel bars)

     

     

     

    Effectively creating a scrap market for mid-low level armours/weapons, G.E prices for such items would reflect the actual cost of the bars, or at least establish some parity. This would have the following effects on the sysem...

     

    1. Things normally dumped in general shops would instead put them on the G.E, forcing the price of random items e.g. steel helms, down

     

    2. These items would be bought by scrap'ers forcing the value up

     

    3. The bars made from these items would return to the G.E forcing bar prices down,

     

    4. Players that normally bought bars for the quick smithing levels, seeing the drop in price would buy more bars,

     

    5. After these high net-worth players return the bars, as items. G.E. Prices drop as they sell at min. price.

     

    6. Which allows scrap'ers to buy more items for less money

     

    7. Repeat step 3

     

     

     

    Any thoughts Tip.it?

  11. I personally love smithing and have been chipping away at it since about '03, instead of inhancing/sharpening etc why not give smithers the ability to turn metal items back into bars, but on a decreasing scacle, so a mith body would give you 4 bars of mithril etc.

     

     

     

    This would have 2 effects on the system;

     

    1. By creating a scrap value for an item, things normally dumped in general shops would instead return to the economy

     

    2. Smithers after creating 300 almost worthless steel plate-bodys could instead of high alching, melt them down again to off-set the costs.

     

     

     

    Any thoughts Tip.it?

  12. thats two seperate issues;

     

     

     

    using auto-typers has been a problem forever, personally back before the GE I did use an auto-typer to buy large quantities of ores, but I always kept the refresh rate down and had to turn it off to trade window.

     

    Yes a few times people did ask me to stfu and I generally did (or moved worlds)

     

     

     

    Scamming in its latest guise as 'the merchant clan scam' is simply a reaction to the scatter-gun banhammer wielded by Jagex.
