Did Jagex Do The Right Thing? I my self have been around since december of 2004 and know what im talking about when i say bots had taken over any and all good resource spots and there needed to be something done about them. this had a major impact on the prices of many many things yews sharks ect but i guess in the long run.. despite the giant impact on prices it was the right thing to do. I my self didnt mind them... but i was never much of a skiller at the time :/ i always kinda liked being able to get cheap resources whenever i wanted its a matter of opinion i guess. removal of free trade is a very controversial subject . i think there were ways to take care of the real world trading problem with out the removal of free trade. the pros of this are less rwt abo[bleep]ely no scamming ( excluding merchanting clans) less hackings and a bit less begging for free money. the cons of this are no free trade no gifts and no helping out friends when something happens (dying hacking dcing during a fight ect). the grand exchange is a good susbstitute but the price manipulation is wrecking todays econimy pking... the touchiest subject im going to touch on... the removal of pking is often considered as the biggest blunder jagex ever made, but was it really? I dont think so. if jagex hadnt removed any and all real world trading there would probably be no runescape today. so ask your self this, would you rather have a mildly less enjoyable runescape? or no runescape at all? i think they should have just skipped the bounty hunter bs and just gone straight to pvp worlds all in all i think jagex made the right choice i probably could have gone on for hours writing about it but i wanted to keep this short:p Robert7854-89/99 construction
