Heres some ive forgot to post before, there kinda old, dunno if thats makes them invalid

I cant think of anything in Rs that would make me want to play it, if i hadnt seen it before :-# I guess some cut scenes or boss fights would be good, but im not sure any visuals in Rs really make great viewing, which i guess makes it harder to advertise

Little known 11th comandment: Wow theres some powerful stuff in there, still relevant too.

huh? what trouble? :twss: Ye read the report-academy-forum-thing on the Rs site, it says that you shouldnt report people when the censor has already stopped them, so really as long as the censor blocks what your saying you cant be reported. Unless you mindlessly spam i guess. And i think i prefered tip.it chat when the main spam topics were chuck norris and bacon :lol:

Ive never heard of that, not doubting it happened but has anyone got evidence? OT: hopefully the next two quests will shed some light on this big quest, both seem to be pretty epic (saving varrock from an army of undead and possibly defeating the highest level monster in the game) The "leave no stone unturned" phrase is hopefully to do with the Stone of Jas, but it wouldnt surprise me if thats just a coincedience(sp)

That isn't junk trading anymore: it's trading fairly and then transferring money to another account (just like RWTing)... If you find a solution to RWT, you'll find a solution to this too. Don't forget that most people would simply buy the mask and log out, leaving the seller without his extra cash. Or, if the junk gets sold first, the mask will not get sold. Well thats junk trading, your giving the right amount of money for an item, the item is just something you dont want and basically will never be used, but still has (in jagexs eyes) some value, So i sell you an animal mask for the jagex price(but way below street price), then i sell you thousands of maple longs(bad example but still) for the jagex price,(but way above the street price) basic i have given you the item you wanted for the correct price but you have still junk traded. The maples cannot be turned into the amount of cash jagex says there worth as they cant be alched or sold to general store for anywhere near the amonut jagex prices them. That is exactly how people operate there trade now, only in two steps. In response to the mask being purchased and then someone logging, if that was a problem the junk would just be traded first, still risky but as junk is becoming a currentcy its nowhere near as risky. Everything can be explained (in theory), some things are just too complex. If you look at the GE trades you can easily see why it went up/down (but we simply cant access that data). Not everything with economys (even simple ones) things really cant always be explained, with or without the data your talking about (which i dont really understand, as we have access to item trade historys anyway). For example what was the latest blip about? something its as simple as people going back to school, others say its groups buy vast quantities of items to make a profit, still others say it is down to the pvp updates which are coming. Theres no definitive answer because as you say its to complex, tinyest things can cause these changes to, something decreases in price, everyone panics and sells and the price plummets. Do you think drunk driving is a problem? Driving while drunk in itself isn't really, but doing it usually leads to accidents and those are a big problem. Therefore: something that inevitably leads to a problem is a problem itself! Same could be said for junk trading: it's bypassing the trade limit and will lead to RWting. RWTing is a problem ... (you said so yourself). Junk trading is basically exchanging goods for money, so on paper theres nothing wrong with it, to move vast quantites of money you need vast quantites of junk, so its not as major an rwt threat as Bh. The people purphasing the gold would need large amounts of junk to receive large amounts of money, and in the time it would take to accumulate the junk they probably could just make the money they were gonna buy. Ask yourself that question when you will only be able to buy Ahrim of the forums for 5 mill... The fact that you have to couch up more money isn't even the biggest downside; if they understand they can make big bugs out of this, they will continue to use it (because it works) and more items will become extremely expensive. Like a big snowball rolling down a hill, more and more will items become horribly overpriced... You have to stop problems BEFORE they can do any big damage. Wait a second, an 800k item increasing more than 6 times in price due to price manipulation? I think thats definatly far fetched, as i said before there is little evidence to see how much effect these groups have, and with the economy treads so hard to explain theres never really gonna be. But taking that example out of the the equation the only time price manipulations (supposedly) have ever seemed to have worked is on Extremely rare items were the majority of the current stock can be bought. The last example of saw of this was the Ags being targeted, did its price massively increase? No, it just didnt drop as fast. To do what your saying about ahrims on such a scale would require enomourous amounts of money to just choke the market of stock and even then, it may not work as people with current ahrims sets would just sell there stock and more sets or brought into the game each day.

How about making the market non-player controlled. That would certainly solve it (a little extreme though). Or how about limiting th amount of items someone can buy from the Ge in a day (who needs 150 tassets anyway)? yuk... a jagex controlled market would be horrible imo, how would they decide what needed its price rising + lowering? The second idea sounds better to me but is also quite impractical, how do you decided how many of something someone needs? When does an item change from being in the infinite number allowed caterogy to the 20 allowed category? That makes sense to a point. although couldnt someone just sell the animal mask/junk first for market rate and then sell the junk/mask 2 seconds later? As far as Rwt is concerned it may not be stopped but it was crippeled by the december updates and tbh i relly dont think it posses such a threat to the game anymore, there aren't autoers running rampant anymore so I'm happy. Best way to remove this would be remove Bh, which after the next pvp update maybe a possibility, but its a little harsh Tbh though i think your looking for problems which aren't there, Debatedly junk trading is just an emergent gameplay feature which has happened, and depending who you talk to, isnt really a problem. Rwt, is definately a problem, but so much has been sarificed to get it down to the level it is now, im not sure we should sacrifice more, Price manipulation, the ever present boogey man hiding under the G.E trapdoor, we've all heard of these clans and groups buying up vast quanities of items to sell them on at an increased value but how much damage are they really doing? Recently when the prices of items began to fall people instinctivly turned to these groups but i dont believe for a second they were to blame. Its easy for people to point the finger as well, the second they see a blip on a G.E graph, the shout goes up without any/or little evidence. Some market fluxutations happen and cant really be explained.

Quote from Jagex's "Future PVP Updates" News article: "Attack any player within a certain level of your own. Level range depends on the area, similar to the old Wilderness levels." hmm i wonder how it will be stepped? Maybe in town/cities it will be its lowest but in more remote areas be quite high?

Welcome back Not a good place for a thread though, your more likely to attract flames than friends here, and like DenUsynlige said becoming a regular in a clan chat might help you meet some new people,

The update wasnt to stop people complaining about Rwt, if i recall few people really did, well no where never the number that complain about the loss of the wildy now. The update did its job of damaging rwt and in the process protecting jagex and the game. Rwt is nowhere near on the level it was and even though it still exists it effect the average player a helleva lot less that it used to, I would much rather be playing a gaming with a number of userws who still complain about the loss of wildy than a game with rampant rwt so tbh i dont really see the irony,

Seriously to me this is only a step away from making all worlds quick chat only, This would remove one of the huge ascepts of player interaction, and as a result be a negative aspect on the game, anyway logically downsides: The ecominy would be obselete, nothing would rise or fall in price There would be no more merchanting When a new item was released such as a monster drop it would change price once it had stopped being uber rare Small trades in remote places would be impossible There are so many more cons but there small ones which i guess would vary person to person as to how bad they are, but overall i think this is a terrible idea and this alone would not solve Rwt or whats left of it, The "give" system is also horrendusly flawed: player A gives player b a law rune, a second later player b gives player a 300gp it just wont work

I dont know if your new to the forums and dont know better or whether your just bummping the [cabbage] out of your own thread but 4 posts in a row in 11 minutes is pretty bad, try editing once in a while, -.- Warhammers and maces are in many ways specalised weapons they may be the best in certain things but its better to have a weapon that is good all round to be honest,

This is where you lost any chance of myself and a few others giving you help in what to do next. Enjoy your paid f2p. :lol: i felt bad for you at first, but the second you called it gay... well omali pretty much sumed it up, Ive never heard of anything like this before, which leads me to believe the error was on your behalf rather than jagexs, not sure how you'd manage that though. If you think it is jagex why not try getting help from one of their customer support droids?

I think that would change very little tbh, if there owning people with Gs and hitting 40, 50 then 75 str is really not gonna be a problem for them / they already have it, Personally Im impartial to Gs's, i was pretty annoyed to be getting owned by them in cw but i know i wouldn't care less if i owned one,

Ye the last one was about how sweet it would be to work at jagex, but the main focus was on that brochure as well, and i think they need 2 offices, arent they like the biggest games developed company in Britian?(emphasis on biggest, as in largest workforce)

A bit? understatement of the century :lol: Ot: Iban was not really zamoraks son it was just a kind of a title, He was a human black knight who was killed in battle and brought back from the dead by a witch, so i dont really see how he could be a Mahjarrat :|

lol, yeah this belongs in rants Ot: meh... its annoying but like 1 in 10 of those "noobs", probably does have a main that could own you,

Great idea, Are these locations worlds specific or are they in the same place in all worlds?

Not really, theres a thread on Rsof where paul comments that the update isnt aimed at anyone and that most younger players probably wont get alot of the spy/penguin jokes.

Naughty little penguin :shame: World 99 neitinoz if you want a look :thumbsup:

Bang, and the dirt is gone, Best reason right there, unless you want us to start putting in birth certificate info when we join :lol: And if a faimly sues jagex for violence i will person pay for the settlement, theres more violence on the news ffs,

I agree with what some people said that jagex probaly isnt on a level to start advertise irl on buses and billboards, but i dont see why there shouldnt be alittle more advertisement on the web for it, I must admit ive never seen an advert for Rs, neither has anyone i know who plays, it just seems to get spread through word of mouth for the most part,

I have, and I want you to quit too. That was probably the point i lost the last shread of respect i held for you, not that it was alot anyway, And wait 60k of pkers, merchants and bots left the game but thats a bad thing? hell someone should throw a party. I mean your a prime example, the update killed you off Rs, so it did some good. Runescape isn't dying it took a slight hit thats all, and lost some of its worst players lol (in respond to any pkers/merchants reading this i know as well as you do not all of you were immature/money obcessed but there were many that were and as a result brought the whole group down) And im not sure i believe any of those stats, i guess the only people who really know are jagex, but im not sure id believe their figures, if they released them, either really,

Wouldn't take Rs wiki to be cannon though tbh :-#

The mahjarrat are not from Rs there from Frensanke(thats definately spelt wrong :oops: ), a plain of eternal warfair, this is the same plain dragon weapons were also supposedly brought from. They arrived/were brought here as Itharins(sp) servants but most defected to zaros, i think, and went on to help him take over a large part of Rs, Eventally the majority turned on zaros to, the leader of this group being Zamorak who killed zaros and took his title (little more complicated than that but its a tale for another time) Anyway point being there not from Rs but another plain, and ye i would be awesome for a little more back story in the upcoming quest :thumbsup:
