Sirsnarky

On the human interaction part, I am admittedly not much of a mini-gamer, as most of them require good skills, which I am not really interested in wasting hours getting. Many of you argue that the GE saves time. That it does. That, however is only good for people who want to do something other than make money with their time (like go kill 700 monsters for no apparent reason). But i'm not interested in menial tasks, so that's the problem. You might tell me, "Just go to some other game with your hare-brained schemes you wack-jawed lunatic (had a little too much fun with the insults there)" Well the problem is there are really no browser-based 3d MMORPGs out there. So i'd rather someone would fix this one. It's probably never going to happen, and this whole thing is pointless (but of course it was anyway).

Thank you Cuppy. See that's what I am, a 'classic Rs2' player. I much preferred the days when Jagex added new content (quests, skills, etc.) instead of making drastic changes to the way you play the game. In response to the people who think the changes are a step forward, I believe that they are, if you are a solo player. If you go out and do quests, fight monsters, and train skills (all by yourself), then I do think the GE would be useful to earn money. In fact, even for me, the GE makes it much easier to sell things. But that just makes the game even more robotic and repetitive! All I have to do to make money now is mine Rune Essence and take it to the GE. This is more boring than you can imagine. The human element is gone! Also, I don't believe in training combat skills. Why would I care if I am a 'noob' or if I can kill 'level 98 dragon' or whatever. All I want to do is start a corporation and make some serious cash. I can buy fancy clothes, and stuff that I think I need. But a 'Dragon Hally'?!? Who gives a flying @#%&! All I am saying is that for a player who doesn't care about quests, or dragons, or being noobish, Jagex has made it very hard for me to enjoy the game. And I know RS wasn't made for people like me. But back during Rs2 Classic, people like me could still enjoy the game! Not any more. Also, if anyone could tell me ONE GOOD REASON for the trade limit, it would be greatly appreciated.

In my humble opinion, Jagex has ruined the Runescape economy. I mean, look at the Grand Exchange. In the days pre-GE, you had to advertise, find a buyer, and haggle. You had to build a system of steady buyers. Now, it's like we're robots. Sell to the GE, buy from the GE, no more player interaction. It's impossible to start a real company. Back pre-GE, when I would sell Rune Essence, i would start a company here on the forums, take out contracts and sell Essence to real people. Now, well it has increased my profits, it is no fun. The other Jagex "Improvement" I hate is the charity limit. I don't really do quests, keeping my limit very low. Before the limit, you could set up a mining/running/smelting system with 5-8 people, and make a good profit. I really think they should take the limit away. II remember on one of my earlier accounts in the days pre-limit, I was like level 13, and some guy was quitting and gave me 100k and a host of good stuff just randomly. Now charity is neigh impossible. Do you think that Jagex's "Improvements" are a step forward or back for the RS economy?
