You know what they say, no pain no gain. The pain in this case is money loss. Get over it.

I think you're going crazy, but it's nice to see that you use the same browser with the exact same theme as I do. :P

Mine went down from 2.0 to 0.5. Seems like they did an offence adjustment. :shock:

Considering when you use Protect from Mage they hit a 0 on you like any other NPC but then switch to other prayers, it seems like they won't be able to summon familiars/pets (possibly).

:lol: :roll:

It's like this: 10 lvl 90+ F2P players start charging at Zezima, maxed out. Zezima creates a gust of wind, and all the 10 lvl 90s crash into a tree, and they die.

I bought my santa in early December 06 for 23.6m, and just a month ago they got up to that price again, I should have sold.. Lost 6.1M and counting. You won't lose anything till you sell it. If long term investing isn't your bag, sell now. If you can hang, keep it, the past several years are good indicators that the prices WILL go back up. No, you lose money if you buy something and the price goes down. Rares are bobbing up and down in the water because with the irrational trade limits on the GE and face-to-face trading, as well as speculation over Summoning. Suppose you buy 1k coal for the market price of 165k on the GE, and the next day the market price is 160k, you lose 5k because of the item's potential value, as well because the most you'd be able to sell the 1k coal for is 163k when you're face-to-face trading, (50-QP wise) so you lose 2k at the most, this is the time where you apply the fact that you lose money based on sale.

Flawed. You can "safe" and still get player kills.

The word is "idiot". :roll: And if it's for those over thirteen, why is it being marketed towards pre-teens? ~q Your assumption that the game is being marketed towards kids is fallible. You based your assumption on the fact that Jagex marketed the book towards preteens before the 13+ age rule was released, so what you are saying here is flawed. Jagex realizes that there are, in actuality, people under 13 playing the game, but they said cannot enforce the 13+ rule. This is a loophole that Jagex has managed to slip by with ever since the underage rule was introduced by Jagex, so when Jagex says it's a game for all ages, in actuality, it's true, because a good amount of players in RuneScape under 13 played before the rule was enacted. Notice that Jagex cannot physically do anything about this, so why are you going around saying Jagex is aiming the game to preteens, when in-fact, they're not? Jagex will keep updating the content for its 13+ players, not little kids.

I find it ironic, however, how some magers would actually buy runes crafted by your truly for their 94 mage and whatnot, and try to cast Ice Barrage and only hit a max 30, while melee and range can hit above 50, and do it at much earlier levels. :-k

What I want to see is Summoning being released as F2P, and reg.ess able to be crafted into runes for Summoning (seems likely). Prices for reg. ess would skyrocket. :D Plus, with no ess being botted, as you have previously mentioned, it would be any miner's dream come true. :lol:

The only way this will be possible is if Summoning won't use life runes to summon, which means no life runes=less demand for pure essence=TONS of money lost from those people gambling something based on idle speculation, even with profits from crafting them into Natures, and other high-level runes. ... Unless the buyers can double craft with natures.

Not to mention being completely self-sufficient kills off the market and trade embargo, anyway.

Buying pure ess at insane prices just because of mere speculation over a skill is a huge gamble. If no runes are utilized with the release of the summoning skill, people can just use their ess to still make a profit. And how much are nats? 250-300 ea.? You can still make a decent profit from buying all that essence, because pure ess still isn't worth more than nats are, so you aren't losing any money, but that's IF you have rune crafting level of 44, and even more profit if you can double craft, triple craft, etc. I think the Dev. Diaries play a good role with the pure ess prices, as well. Since Jagex stated they are going to create another Dev. Diary talking about the release instead of actually releasing it, Jagex might drop hints about some sort of rune being used for summoning. And of course, this will effect F2P if Summoning is made F2P, because, who knows, Jagex might make it so life runes can be crafted from regular essence as well, because it is such a hugely anticipated update, and who says the life runes will be a high-level rune? Jagex decides that.

now we can start laughing at people who say they have been paying 8 years :lol: and so the circle of laughing at how many years of experience people have had will carry on. Now we know that zezima has wasted 7 years of his life :D Nope, Zezima started playing in the summer of 2004. :D

I agree. When we had the old wilderness with the anti-RWT updates still going (Early November to early December), random events would still pop up when you were fighting with someone in the wilderness, and you're either winning or losing. Now, if you're fighting anyone in a high-mortality rate area, do you honestly think we'd want randoms? NO! It's the same when you're in Tzharr or somewhere and you're fighting a high level/boss monster AND you get a random event....I remember when I was fighting a level 82 lesser demon after I got a decent drop, and midway through the fight a level 86 evil chicken pops up. Wow. Is Jagex plotting something against me? Death to randoms (except the gnome pinball game, so easy to complete and gives decent rewards )

... Spam. It was also like that when the year 2007 came rolling around, it said "This website and its contents are copyright ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâé 1999 - 2006 Jagex Ltd."

The majority of people who are going to quit have done so already. I think this will probably affect the game negatively as JaGex has cut off ways for many people to make money which then means those players will not be able to train their skills as high which will then lead to less items being sold on the GE and so on... So if that does happen... an economic recession? And as people can't make money, they will barely be able to level their skills, they will work for them, and may manage to level up, albeit at a much slower pace. A huge shift in the highscores probably, as well as a rift- those that play longer will still be able to make exponentially more xp than those that don't since they will get one skill up to raise another- such as mining for smithing, runecrafting for magic, etc. And if this happens... prices will start to rise for finished products... and competition for monster drops will definitely worsen... DOubt the last part. Finished pruducts will NEVER rise. The economy is based around EXP and money. You can't possibly MAKE money AND exp at the same time. But on-topic. It is going to make trading immpossible, and prices WILL crash. At GE, there is no way to sell magor items above the median. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Lesser items which has values below 100k..well, people will put full price since you can get it faster, and the difference is only a few k. You CAN make money and exp at the same time. All you have to do is get 40 fishing and catch lobsters, 90 exp per lob and 255gp per lob. \ Also, you are wrong about finished product prices never rising. Cooked Lobsters went down because pking was killed off. If the old wilderness was back, certain finished high-level goods like lobsters and swordfish would be in high demand and be bought in large quantities, therefore driving the price up. The reason cooked lobsters and swordfish are stale-priced right now is because player killing is virtually dead, and BH is a crappy replacement, and Clan Wars is a safe mini game so there's no incentive to bring food. Another factor is that people who want to train to 99 cooking will trade cooked lobs for raw lobs, and of course, since raw lobs are worth more than cooked lobs, the latter can use them as training food, and be obtained for free, therefore not many people will have to buy them off the GE if they are obtained in large amounts, relatively easy if you have 60+ fishing.

True, many people such as Albosky haven't played Runescape for years yet they keep coming here (and not just because he's an admin). Search my thread, "is Tip.it harder to quit than Runescape?". Double post.

Huh? Being muted doesn't mean you have to be subjected to unfair trade, and the GE is an efficient method for everyone, whether muted or not. Jagex didn't and still don't intend to "help" the rule-breakers, as November's and this month's dramatic changes against RWT suggest, and being muted doesn't mean you should be subjected to unfair trade. Also, your thread is quite biased. What if the person is unfairly muted? RuneScape's CS and Appeal system is terrible at turning in appeals, you know. A hacker could get into the person's account and spam the flood screen, thus getting the person muted. Anyhow, like I said, The Grand Exchange is an efficient method for trading, even for "rule-breakers". What offense they committed, doesn't mean they have to suffer the price of not being able to bargain/merchant/buy sell for their own prices, unless of course they performed RWT.

Consider the following situation: You are level 80 combat and you just purchased full rune, and you wouldn't want anything else in the world. Recently, you have entered your username in a 1,000,000gp RuneScape Lotto on another site. You know the site is legitimate because other winners have proudly shown off their cash winnings on-site and in-game. To your surprise, a person from the site PMs you and says you have won the lotto. You don't believe at first because you forgot about the whole thing and it sounds like a scam, but then it jogs your memory and you check the site. It's true! You have won the 1,000,000gp lotto. You start thinking of all the things you can buy. You have never made 1,000,000gp ever in your whole RuneScape career. You and the person who's giving out your prize agree on a date to meet for you to receive your prize. But there's one problem: In a few days, Jagex's unbalanced trade system will go into effect in January, so that means you won't be able to receive the 1 million GP prize, but if you accept the 1,000,000gp now, Jagex will flag the trade and might wrongly ban you for RWT, which you are not doing. So what do you do? Do you accept the 1 million cash prize and take the high risk of being banned, or turn down the offer, and miss out on big cash that you'll probably never see again (But at the same time saving your hide)? A situation very similar to this happened to me a few days ago, but the prize giver and myself live in different timezones, so we cannot meet with each other in-game upon an agreed time, so the I do not receive the 1 million cash prize anyway. But I am curious to hear your opinion. :D Take the 1 mill or leave it?

I did at lvl 66.

Well, they technically have Elvarg for Dragon Slayer, but otherwise, no.

Raw Lobsters are a wonder on the GE, selling for a bit more than their cooked counterpart-250gp ea. as opposed to 200gp ea. for the cooked lobsters- and sell amazingly quick in quantities of 50,75, or more. I sold 100 raw lobsters for 24.7k in a second, that quick. :shock:

Exactly. And how about all you safers out there is it the only reason you're trying to blame and fight pures is because we don't safe? That's basically free stuff for you. So next time go fight some other safer when we tell you we don't wana fight. How is it exactly great to go fight someone that also safes like you every time they get to 75 percent hp, they eat a lob? Hmm I'd like to see you not to complain. Erm...shut up. I own pures in any type of armor and then you [wagon] always safe (pures) when I hit a 20 on you. You eat food, I call you a safer, and you come up with the excuse "I'm eating so I don't die", then you hit a 20 on me, I eat, and you yell "SAFER!!!!111!" Shut up and counter your own arguments more effectively, and just so you know, pures "safe" as much as you think other non-pures "safe". -.-
