Hi it's Mattimis. Probably none of you have seen me in game before, but it doesn't really matter. The thing is, are you getting frustrated by the unbalanced trade thingy Jagex put in about 6-7 months ago? 'Cause I am. So I've created this petition that I'd like to send to Jagex by maybe August that has to do with runescape's unbalanced trade thingy: RuneScape had always prided itself for its ability to allow its players freely trade with one another online. But on January 2, 2008, Jagex removed "Unbalanced Trade," restricting non-paying players (non-members) from being able to gain or lose more than 3,000 gp every fifteen minutes and paying players (members) from being able to gain or lose more than up to 30,000 gp every fifteen minutes. This new system has caused frustration among players, who were accustomed with being able to trade freely. To help diminish the effects of the trade restrictions, Jagex should modify the Unbalanced Trade system. By changing the system so that a non-member or a member could gain or lose up to 5,000 gp or 50,000 gp every five minutes, respectively, instead of up to 3,000 gp or 30,000 gp every fifteen minutes, the legitimate players of RuneScape would benefit greatly. On top of the changes in the Unbalanced Trade system, Jagex should create a few challenging non-member quests to raise their gain/lose amount to up to 15,000 gp every five minutes. Relaxing the Unbalanced Trade system would benefit the runecrafting business as the crafters would be able to purchase more rune essences within a shorter period of time. The changes would also allow players to assist each other by providing free items or money to the players in need. This change in the Unbalanced Trade system would not extremely affect real-world traders or item scammers. Item scammers would only be capable of making up to 50,000 gp with every five minutes (10,000 gp a minute), and real-world traders would continue to be frustrated as sellers would have to trade for 1,000 minutes (16 hours and 40 minutes) for a non-member to receive 1,000,000 gp. We must modify the Unbalanced Trade system to improve RuneScape. By signing this petition, you will unite with other RuneScape players who also wish to be able to trade freely once again. (When signing this petition, please write your RuneScape character name instead of your real name, and state whether you are a member or a non-member.) The website to put in your name (if you want to help with this little struggle to help make trading a bit better in rs) is http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/rsunbalancedtrade. I hope to get about 5k signatures... so if everyone just tells ONE PERSON a day, in about two weeks we'll have at least 5,000 signatures. Thanks for reading guys. By the way, I'd like to say something about you guys flaming me. Hear me out. At least I'm *trying* to doing something about it. Have you guys lost ALL hope that rs can be changed for the better by *real players*? And i'm not saying that i want to change it completely, just want to make it more player-friendly. So please do realize that before you start to flame me...
