Grimdark

Tell that to a scottish person :P, Kidding. Yeah, isee your point, but if i had to either pay 10 bucks for a skirt, or 110 for pants, i'd just leave. but this is where the point of how much money people in runescape have. We can easily afford to pay those 110 bucks for the pants, because we have nothing better to spend them on anyway. I guess i was kind of talking about myself..I just started making money. :D

~As you enter the tavern, you quickly notice a hooded figure, maybe Male? Too hard to tell; sitting at a table, mug full of ale on the table, a copy of the Varrock Herald in his hands, he seems engaged in it, you walk up and he begins to speak:~ "The names Grimdark, Rel Grimdark; Yeah, your probably wondering why i look so mysterious..*The man chuckles* It's to make people like you get the wrong idea, I'm just your average guy..enjoying my mead *He takes a sip* You can generally find me around Gielnor, i tend to enjoy adventuring. (I GUESS this is a introduction, as i am an avid Role-player, hit me up in-game; I'm always in 42.)

Of course people do it, and it's okay. Although when doing combat i'm wearing the gear that helps me out the most, i still use a lot of time hanging around, doing nothing. This is when I use a outfit i like a lot, and is there purely for looks. This includes a beret, which is worth about 500k. Just look at treasure trail items. With a few exceptions, most of the items you get from there are purely for looks. There are no difference in the stats of a rune platebody, and a rune platebody(s), but still, it is over ten times more expensive. Another point of this, is that in a game, unlike the real life, we don't have differing looks. All faces are the same, all are of the same length, and all are almost just clones of each other. The clothes therefore gives a bigger role in giving you an "identity" others can recognize with, and that perhaps also tells you something about yourself. You raise a very good point, i was just thinking, would Merchanting clans have any effect on these sort of items?

This will be quick, but it's something thats been on my mind for a bit. PRICES HIGHER, FOR BETTER LOOKS? This is mainly the Dragon Plateskirt-Platelegs arguement but, really..Almost 800k more for better looking legs..Seems pointless to me; Has Runescape really diverged into that much of a meterosexual community? Even items like Gnome Goggles have gone up in massive amounts: 20k-487k in two weeks..Thats insane! So, i want to hear your discussions on this; Do you think items are really worth paying that much more, just because they look better?
