seasons greetings :)

why would Jagex completely remove these discontinued items when all they have to do is sit back and wait for them to get deleted through inaction and/or rule-breaking?? :-k It's just one headache too far to take overt action no matter what the "incentive" they have when doing little to nothing serves their purposes without all the whingeing such action would generate. #-o Just as they're not going to delete these silly holiday gimmick items, they're not going to add new ones either. On the whole, as time passes, there will be fewer and fewer available, and eventually, there will be too few to sustain the absurdley high prices these can fetch at the moment (whether due to artificial hiking of prices or not) and the market for them will all but dissappear :ohnoes:

Backwards logic. You called for the changes. I did. Therefore I fail to see how it's "My fault" :lol: Assuming you meant to say "I didn't", his point is that the limits are put in by Jagex to protect the innocent against people like you. The funny thing is that I actually agree with you, not Qeltar, on this point, if I could just get you to quit making logical mistakes and stop phrasing your opinion in such an asshat-ish way we could make a united front in favor of price manipulation. If I could get you to admit that price manipulation is possible. None of which is likely. ummm??? you're not serious? are you??? :shock: :evil:

sorry, but most people (in real life) have these little things called "morals" and "ethics"...something that is sadly lacking in more than a few RS players...and you from all appearances of your posts :( There's nothing wrong with looking out for oneself, per se. but doing so at the expense or outright deceiving of others makes most normal people think at least twice and decide it's not something they can in all conscience do. there's a name for people that behave otherwise : sociopaths.

ahhh :( asshats rule, unfortunately :( in that case, i withdraw the apology. it is definitely unwarranted.

sorry, but i get the feeling from your posts that you're on the side of "it's the scammee's fault for being scammed" rather then the scammer's fault for being greedy and opportunistic. as for the rest, i'm currently on a LOT of pain-killers, and my mind is perhaps not as sharp as it should be under normal conditions. I apologise if that interpretation is wrong.

no. sellers tried to sell it at whatever they felt they could get away with. some buyers knew the prices and were willing to try to negotiate. others didn't and either refused to buy, or fell for the scam. there is a difference. no matter how people try to sugar-coat it and place the blame in the ignorant.

*Bangs his head against the wall* 1.) It's not the sellers job to inform the buyer of "Fair market value". That's the job of the buyer. People should be allowed to sell at any price they choose. Buyers don't have to pay those prices if they believe they're unfair or if they believe they can find the same item for cheaper elsewhere. The same principles govern every day transactions. Sometimes I wonder what kind of world you live in because it's most assuredly not a capitalistic one. 2.) There's no such thing as price manipulation within Runescape, as it's impossible to corner any given market (Minus, maybe, the rare market). Infinite supply sees as much. Infinite supply means no single group is able to corner a market, and if no single group is able to corner a market than price manipulation cannot occur, as another group will willingly undercut your prices. It's simple economic theory, which I'm sure will be ignored (As per usual). Anywho, no one ever has to rely on merchants. As their is an infinite supply of materials within Runescape, excluding rares, you could very easily go out and get whatever you needed/wanted for free. However, this involved a serious investment of time. All merchants did was provide you those items, minus the time needed to harvest them yourself plus mark-up (Merchants have to make money, after all). *Shrugs* nor is it incumbent upon the seller to actively go out of his/her way to sell items at vastly inflated prices in an attempt to deceive honest players out of their money...as MANY (not ALL) merchanters are wont to do ;)

Point of fact: Leicester is also a city, NOT a county. It is the county seat of Leicestershire, not Cambridgeshire ;) Yes, they are somewhat close, but that's like me going to the States and them all asking me if I know the Queen personally. :wall: All places have "good" and "bad" parts to them, it just so happens that the UK is smaller than quite a few American states, so they're all cramped together a lot closer than they would be in other parts of the world.

:shame: no. In development diary 2 of summoning, they posted a pic of 7 types of eggs. the very FIRST one was a hen's egg ;) See? :P

I usually raise my skills for being self-sufficient, occasionally selling produce for a profit, but that's rarely. I have 1 skill cape but never wear it (it's in my POH on the rack) so I definitely don't think of myself as showing off ;) I just wish Jagex would stop faffing the best ways to raise skills in the mid-high ranges (60-85?)

Can I borrow those rose-tinted glasses you're wearing please? :XD:

"Minor" is the legal term used by society to designate those of it's younger citizens that have yet to reach the arbitrary age of adulthood. As mentioned, this ranges from 12 (in places like Cuba) to 16 (Pakistan - for females) to 18 (pretty much all the world) to 21 (Egypt, Argentina).

It's not a medieval game, it's high fantasy. Why don't you take a look at the logos of other fantasy games? They look a lot "cooler" than RuneScape's. I said "medieval-based", not medieval. there IS a difference. :wall:
