lazy habits lead to ignorent ways i like the ge but it does make people lazier plz if your going to argue this i've explaned why it does so plz take the skill factor into acount befor saying i'm not speaking honestly i mine most of my coal , gather most of my wood , fish any of my fish and i fine that it makes the game funner then "buying your way" into everything. you know what they say. "A fool and his gold are soon parted"

when i said it makes people lazy you missed my point the point being if you can get this quickly what is the point of using your skills. look around you'll see less and less people using their fishing mining and rune crafting skills (although the recent update gave reson to rune craft) i ment people will stop using thier skills and just try to buy them. money can't buy everything. the ture fortures come from your skills and experances you can't buy that no matter how much gold you have. i give you a great exaple think about Zezima (i know zez is no longer the top high scorer but most of us oldies know this one) how did zezima become one of the most know players in runescape (sure money had something to do with it). this player became the best of the best and stayed there for a long time. how. though hard work you can't buy hard work thats what i mein by the GE makes people lazy.

hello i'm J67 as you can guess this is not my real or user name i am and shall remain a faceless informit. The "GE" can be good or bad. Of couse we all know this. But have you thought about this "i need 1k steel bars oh why mine the iron or coal? i can just go to the grand exchange!" this is not bad if its just one or two people but it has goten a little out of hand. ------------------------------------------------------------------- the GE makes people lazy! To give a idea lets look at the rune crafting guild as a prime exaple of peoples being lazy . the exaple i speak of is the blood and death tialismins (sorry about the spelling) there are a few people like me who have done the quest and goten them. but most tried to buy them . lets put it this way. i put on my new omni tiara in the rune crafting guild and had 30 people ask me if they could barrow my death and blood tally. ------------------------------------------------------------------- the GE takes the insentive out of hard work as ths shows. if this isn't enough i have a storyof my past working expereince. that can shed light on this matter. i worked for a smithing company (for great reson i can't tell you the name of the company for i wish to remain a unknown player speaking the turth) now when this update came out our boss was pertty happy with it becuase it not only alouded us to take orders but when there was none or we had a over flow it alouded us to move goods. so all was good intill the prices started to fall. we didn't think it was a big deal at 1st and that it would bounce back but it really hasn't. so as the prices droped what do you think a bissness that isn't willing to fire people would do? he slashed wages but then i don't blame him. but prices kept falling till the boss decided to close up shop.this makes me sad but i have 1 last thing for you to think about. ------------------------------------------------------------------- the turth is the higher prices merchantes used may of seemed bad but when you think about it they made you want to work so you didn't have to pay those prices but now the the runescape staff contorls the prices and has them so low why work? higher prices lead to more self work ------------------------------------------------------------------- also one of the main points of merchanting is being able to contorl the price of your goods. ------------------------------------------------------------------- this is J67 signing off i will be back when i can speak more turths on the issues PM me with your thoughts Also if the agree with me plz put this in your signature higher prices lead to more self work. so raise the flag for a free market! (plz excusse my spelling i'm not the best speller)
