  5. quite frankly you obviously didn't download from their site.. but from somewhere else.
  6. aha I remember you on clan chat talking and arguing about this! I have to agree though we should all just conform and use the g.e! You don't make any profit out of using junk you get Xgp worth of junk + Ygp of an item and you get X+Ygp.. A blog post on zybez talks about this as well: [hide=]My first experience with this piece of junk ironically known as junk trading was a few months ago. I was trying to buy a leaf-bladed sword in order to train slayer on some Turoths, when I realized not even the highest offer in the Grand Exchange was successful in purchasing one. After browsing the forum, I realized that someone was selling a leaf-bladed sword for around 200K higher than the regular Grand Exchange price. Intrigued, I gathered that they were selling the leaf-bladed sword and some "junk" in order to sell it at a higher price, giving them some sort of control of the market. When I traded them, I found that their junk was a bunch of spirit graahk pouches. I was actually trying to buy those in Grand Exchange, too, since I was runecrafting! I decided that I liked junk trading after that incident. Alas, no decision is final. A few days ago, I was trying to sell my ruined dragon shard in World 2 and the Grand Exchange when I realized that everyone was selling this piece...the very REASON I did the quest in the first place...for millions less. Eventually, after hours of standing there, I was able to sell it. However, it was right then and there that I realized that this junk trading that we thought helped us keep control over our game is actually the slow death of our fragile economy. I'm going to fabricate a little scenario for you guys to imagine with me to help you understand how stupid it all is. Imagine that you just got dragon claws from one of those tormented demons after hundreds of kills. Excited, you go to Grand Exchange to sell them. You become ecstatic when you realize that people are buying them for around 80M each! However, you realize you don't have that much junk. Searching and searching, you start buying the junk. After you got your 79M worth of junk, you take those dragon claws, run up to a guy, put the junk and claws in, and you have your 80M! Yay you're SUPER SUPER RICH! Wait... No...you're not. You had to spend that 79M, as in already have it IN THE BANK, on the junk required for you to sell those dragon claws, worth 1M. You got the 80M as a result of the 79M and 1M. In other words, after subtracting the losses you sustained from the profit you generated, you have 80M - 79M...that's 1M. That's the mid price of the dragon claws. You wasted your time for nothing and could've sold them higher and MUCH more quickly at max price in the Grand Exchange. Okay. Let's imagine another scenario after this one. You're thinking, "Okay, Teddy, so buying them all at once for 79M was a major flop. So what? I'm going to go buy a bunch of junk right now and hope it rises so later I did make more money!" If it drops, well, you just got owned really badly in the hopes of a good future junk trade. If it does rise...so what? That's basically just merchanting. Besides, the amount of profit would be quite small and insignificant compared to the down payment. If you were able to turn tens of millions on junk trade, you'd probably not have to rely on junk trading anyway since you'd likely be rich enough. Well, what about the junk that people make simply because it's the best they can to level or make money? Maybe you're one of those people that buys eyes of newts for a few GP each from a magic shop and sell them for around 50 GP each in the Grand Exchange. Maybe you're someone who makes maple longbows (u) because you want to level your fletching to make yew longs and mage longs. That's all well and good for the people that are actually dependent on such methods to really make their money or level in the game. But for someone with millions in the bank to be making these maple longs or merchanting these eyes of newts from store to GE? Less than 150K an hour and 50K an hour, respectively? I certainly hope that by the time you're trading items that are being junk traded, you have better ways of making money than this. Think of all the inaccuracies in the prices of items as a result! A notable example in the past was a cat mask, being around 4M within World 2 but only a few hundred K at the GE price. Someone trying to buy a cat mask to wear around would be wasting their time. They'd either wait hours and hours until someone finally sells it in the Grand Exchange, or they'd have to go and waste their money on a cat mask and literally junk that they'd have to sell later. Someone once tried to explain to me that junk trading was merely used to fix the differences in price when the Grand Exchange messes up its. The time it fails is when it apparently does not reach the equilibrium price. The thing is, if we just give the Grand Exchange a chance and stop being so stubborn in the thoughts that our price is right with junk trading, the values will reach equilibrium price. Almost all trading aside from junk trading exists in the Grand Exchange. The trades that sell more than a limit would allow are the only other real ones that could effect the supply and demand. However, these trades pale in comparison to the Grand Exchange so much that they're almost insignificant. The other trades, spur-of-the-moment trades, are those resulting in the extreme need for an item as soon as possible, such as buying a law rune or an item for a quest. The prices paid will be much more than the item is worth by default only so they can get their item and move on, so they'd be inaccurate. That supposed equilibrium price is not being reached by the Grand Exchange for some items because a lot of people are siding with junk trading. If more of us decided to rebel against this and choose the Grand Exchange for our trades, you'd be surprised how quickly the prices will become accurate. Junk trading is definitely a problem in RuneScape. The only help it gives to anyone is to the minority of people that are low enough in skills that they'd have to make that junk to level and/or make money. Otherwise, everyone's preoccupied with the thought of "Finally, free trade!" although their time and possible profit is being squandered in World 2 and the RSOF alike. This junk trading is destroying our already fragile economy, and we continue to do it without hesitation! I guess in the case of RuneScape, one man's junk is everyone's treasure.
