Then whats to stop people from trading the old way? Nobody will pay that kinda tax, maybe 1% thats what i mean....... alot of people will trade the old way........... witch will keep merchanting going i think this would be use by people who want to sell easly or buy fast (and ya the tax might be a bit too high, but 1% is way too low) ya, but then there would be no point of puting the grand exchange in in the first place if no one would use it because of the tax i think it would just be a trade off... i think plenty of people would still use the grand exchange and only the people that don't want to be bothered with the trivial tax wouldn't... (merchanters) also I think a better tax would be 5% or so (which isn't really too bad)

I may have found an answer to all of this What if this grand exchange had a small tax on using it (10% maybe) for both the buyer and seller? Lets say you put something up for 100k the person than buys it would spend 110k and the person that sells it would get 90k. I think this might slow down the huge amount of money going into the game due to high alching and stuff and also keep merchanters going about there normal business. And I think it would also go along with what jagex said earlier about the new shop system update where they said something along the lines of "you will be saving time but paying more", but in this case it wouldn't really save time just effort (possibly time too) \

your kidding right?

hehe nice I guess......... good luck on you future lvling

Well welcome to my blog! Hello I am free of me, and this is my blog. You should probably post if you read this..... but hey, you are your own person so I wont stop you.(please post) [hide=My Runescape History] I have been playing for almost 4 years but have sort of low skills due to limited playing time. :? But I like going around as a semi-newb with my trusty rubber chicken and my yo-yo. (I wish I had bunny ears.....) I am mainly a skiller that has highish lvls in woodcutting, fletching(kind of), fishing, and cooking. When I was first a newb(first 2 years really) I decided that I would be a super awesome fisher and get a high fishing lvl and make tons of money (I mean with that many people fishing all the time it has to be a good opiton.....right?? .....right!?!?!? :uhh: ). After getting a decently high lvl of fishing and cooking finding out that mostly it is just autoers who fish (mostly, but there are some pretty cool and stupid people out there) and finding out that 100k isnt realy that much, I found out that fishing is a really bad way of making money(I sold cooked lobbies.. at 250 ea, at the time). Then one wonderful I heard about how good woodcutting for money was and I started lvling up that (abandoning my fishing for a time). I was amazed at how unfair Jagex had made wood cuting so much better than fishing(though now I realize that it was more the players that determine most of that stuff, although it is much faster xp.......) And finally i had my first million!!! :D and my second :) and my third :| and then my fourth :( .......and I got bored. Yea so what would I do with all this new cash?.. I tried buying some flashy new clothes...... no one cared.. :cry: I tryed lvling up my skills (fletching, and magic for high alch) wow... i could make more money!!!!!!.....that i had no idea what to do with...... So then I decided to got my total lvl up with witch i got up to lvl 1200... so I did(cost a lot of money) and no one cared............. So I decided to find something new that i could do that I would have a whole lot of fun at..... I tried castle wars...... I tried PC............. I tried barbarian assault (hated it) .............. I tried trawler fishing (which I really did enjoy.... to bad nobody actually does it lol) I hated all of them. Then finally I found my second love of runescape! (woodcutting being my first) Barrows! I tried it once and I was hooked :D (even though I died :shock: ) To keep this from happening again I decided to use prayer from that point on on Dharrock. So finally after much pain in getting herblor lvl 44 and actualy making the dang potions I killed him! Only to die on kharils....... After this I finally to get someone to teach me how to go barrowsing(new word?). After this I never died again while doing barrows. :wink: But then finally I got bored of barrows.... I never seam to get anything off of it anyways...... so I don't do it nearly half as much as I used to..... So now I am in the present currently deciding what type of goals I should make... I think i will go back to fishing and maybe actually be able to fish for sharks...(not that they are actually good money) [/hide] [hide=My current Skills Lvls] [/hide] [hide=My Current Goals] fishing lvl 76! : current lvl 74 cooking lvl : 80 current 77 Woodcutting lvl 85 : current lvl 81 Firemaking lvl 80 : current lvl 73 [/hide] If you post thank you very much. Also if yo post could you please tell me what i could do to make my blog more interesting/better. I will be editing this more and i might add some pics and some other secitons.

First of all I would like to say i think the articles posted by these two are good articles about a beginners troubles when starting runescape. But i think that goals are perfectly fine things, as long as they don't take over all of your time. (even if you want it to) I think that runescape can get very boring and repetitive, but I think I have devised some rules that I have found out to keep it less boring and repetitive. 1. Play less When I first started my mother only allowed me to play one hour a day, and played I did. Since i only was allowed one hour a day I valued my time on runescape much more and it got boring for me much slower. Sure I didn't have the ability to play for hours on end to get high skills in everything but I think I had more fun when I was on. Now my mother has been allowing two hours a day and I am finding I am getting bored quicker even though i am getting better in almost all skills. 2. Get good runescape friends Yes I know this is almost impossible to get long lasting friends on runescape but I think it is one of the most important thing to do to make runescape more fun. If you are bored ask one of you friends to do something with you, anything. you would be surprised how much more fun doing some of the most boring things are with a good friend or two doing it right along with you. I have had several really good friends for my almost four year runescape career(not that long I guess :( ). I think one of the easyest ways to get good long lasting runescape friends is to get some real life friends to play it with you, the advantages of this is that you can coordinate when you are and aren't on, can discuss what you want to do of of runescape, which makes it much easier to do stuff together, and you also will have that much more stuff to talk about anyway. 3. Take some breaks This I think is the most important thing about playing runescape, even with my only one (now two) hours per day I think about twice a year(even though there is a lot of stuff to do) I would get really burnt out from runescape and start feeling kind of depressed when I was playing on runescape. So i would take a good long break. I would just stop playing runescape for a month or two. I would spend my game time on some games I would buy, go over to my friends house, or just read a good book.(yes.... i like to read) But I knew that once I got bored of all these things runescape would definitely be waiting for me, along with a bunch of new updates. :) ps... first post.... but have been reading the forums for years
