i'm waiting until december 31, at which time, if the changes have not been at least edited by jagex, i will be giving all my items to my friend who is loyal to jagex (for whatever reason) and here's why: when i started playing in 06 the concept of a free trade economy (i mean completely free) on an online game intrigued me. so i played for a while, i introduced the game to my friend (previously mentioned) and he too was instantly hooked. then i got bored and quit for a while. meanwhile my friend got a membership. when i saw all the extras members got and all the stuff they got to do, i started up again and purchased a YEAR long membership (big mistake) then about 2 or 3 months ago i had a "premonition" if you will that the RS economy would die and the game would fail. so i quit playing... again. then on the 9th i logged in to see what was up. my friend and i helped each other out and he let me barrow a black mask (which has fallen in value in the past 2 months by like 200k if i'm not mistaken) the next day i log in to find this... this... horrid mess that Jagex has created. it seems my prophecy of the downfall of the economy is coming dreadfully true. They turned it into a form of communism, where the "government" (Jagex) controls the prices within 3k of their "proscribed" value. this limits merchanting by SO much, people who were making millions inan hour will be stuck in the "Proscribed value" you do realize you can't buy and resell and make more then 12k per hour? think about it: some people making 1m+ per hour to making 12k perhour, if they're lucky. sounds alot like communism to me. since the 9th the price of dragon platelegs has fallen by 10k last time i checked. 3 months ago rune boots were 200k (i think) now they're 45k everything is falling apart around them, yet Jagex will NOT change. they act like dictators! they would be, but we (paying members) are the equivalant of taxpayers to them, and they are refusing to listen. i sent them a formal complaint and a suggestion on how to make it better, (not just a random rant on the 30+k posts on the forum. they responded with the same bureaucratic toro poopoo that any politician uses when the did something stupid: "we're fighting against the bigger threat here: RWT, we will do everything we can, and at ANY cost to stop them from ruining the gaming experience of our loyal players..." does that "ANY cost" include a good portion of your paying customers?" if you're going to "wait it out" go until Jan. 1st and just boycott your membership. check to see if they changed, if not, don't renew.
