1ST OF ALL MY HEARTIEST CONGRATULATION TO Ts_Stormrage FOR YOUR WONDERFULLY APPROPRIATE ARTICLE. u made me so impressed that i had to open an account in tip.it forum to give my opinions.u got the things so correct i have nothing to say against any of your arguments(well i never want to do that in this particular topic anyway) but i would like to expand your article in some minor ways. 1) About the problem of tricking or 26ker/76ker or EP farming.i think there is another side to this horrible problem. this will encourage & help gold farmer variant of RWIT-ers. though other types of RWIT-ers are also going to take (or rather are taking) advantage of this system. let me explain in detail. we all know RWIT is an organized crime primarily controlled by criminals of an Asian economic giant nation. every operating base have many computers where they use unemployed poor of the nation in an effort to run the operation 24x7. So u can easily imagine how well these group can utilize this EP farming.they don't have to kill green drags or cut yew logs or fish sharks.just go to PVP & earn mills.and it's obvious every single GP they earn will go to RWIT. specifically "give us ur pass & we will give u 1/10/100 mil in 1day-1 week whatever may be ur lvl" ads now will be able to do what they mean to do more easily. weird isn't it.however jagex tries to stop RWIT every jagex update makes it sure that RWIT will flourish because of that update. 2) i liked all ur solutions except for the summoning one. if you reduce the shard exchange rate to 50% it will affect do it yourselves(DIY) group badly. being a lifelong DIY i can feel that. but overall it won't improve general economy so much that DIY group can be sacrificed. 3) but now the real question- will jagex admit they are wrong or will they implement any change? i don't see any sign of the in the horizon.let's see the matter from the point of view to jagex. even before 10th dec 2007 jagex was a populist company.yes it took a drastic step that day but then jagex was on the point of bankruptcy then. it was "do or die situation" for them so they had to do what they did then. but the outburst & player feedback during that time shell-shocked this populist company.we all know ppl fall back to their strengths during hard times,jagex was no exception too. it became horribly populist since then. if u have a round peg all holes looks round. same thing happened to jagex. it now tries to solve every problem by being more & more populist. and this new jagex became pro pker by this reason. they decided 10th dec 2007 caused such problem because it affected pkers so they are now doing everything to keep that community pleased. "new pots are hurting some pkers remove it.pkers may get less money from pking,oh no..we must please them, add some junks which can be sold for HUGE money" i can go on for ever.every groundbreaking decision jagex recently took got vandalized in their own hand due to their decision of bribing pker community to their side. so jagex won't do anything about this inflation. unless it grows much worse,which i'm happy to say is a real possibility if this state goes on for next 6 months. hope someday jagex will gather enough backbone to take unpleasing decisions which are good for rs firmly & on that note i end my lengthy reply.hope you are not bored by it.
