Guy Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I personally never used those methods, mainly because I didn't know that you could sell longs (u) for more cash with the gloves. I wouldn't do it anyway, though. What a bad, non-exp giving way to get cash. Go Jagex. :) Some people (like me) were planning to buy the 300k or so willows for 99 fletching, then not loose money and make a mere 3m (unintensional) just so i didn't loose money. Is that bad? nuh uh. It may of been okay if jagex offically announced it, but it was a hidden update -.- ~Guy Quote from some person up 2 or 3 posts: This is just rediculous. People are finding clever ways of making money and Jagex goes and ruins it. Is Jagex just trying to get everyone on the same mindset on how to make money? ^true RIP TET "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." - Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Robot Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 It was a well-kept secret... but when topics like this appear, then the cat is let out of the bag. =D> Why should ANY part of Runescape be a "well kept secret" for the enjoyment of you and the others that knew about it? Shouldn't all aspects of Runescape be known by all players? And if keeping a great moneymaking method secret to yourself, and profiting off the ignorance of other players is ok, why isn't keeping the update that ruined it a "well kept secret" as well? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer9434 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I was going to fletch my 10k maples for that, that way id get fletching exp and make some money off my kingdom. Not everyone was scamming people out of their money. Not everyone understands how hard it is to sell 10k maples.

katmaster Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I don't think they should of dropped the price that much, it really increased the market for willow and maples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulthresher Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 This is just rediculous. People are finding clever ways of making money and Jagex goes and ruins it. Is Jagex just trying to get everyone on the same mindset on how to make money? It wasn't an honest way of making money. More like bug abuse and lying to other people since allot said they were going to use the bows for fletching xp but just sold them to a shop. Its called merchanting. 95% of Runescape does it, maybe you should try it sometime. Why should ANY part of Runescape be a "well kept secret" for the enjoyment of you and the others that knew about it? Shouldn't all aspects of Runescape be known by all players? And if keeping a great moneymaking method secret to yourself, and profiting off the ignorance of other players is ok, why isn't keeping the update that ruined it a "well kept secret" as well? I, for one, love the ingenuity of the players online. Without it, this will just be another clicking game. Runescape mimics real life in many ways. Some things should be kept secret. Imagine if nuclear secrets were leaked to Iran, wait thats already happening #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I personally don't think it was scamming. The Jagex KBase says that the gloves will get you better deals at Karamja shops. People selling maples there were just getting the rewards from the Karamja achievement diary. It's not like it was a high-level perk; the lowest level gloves got you the better prices (http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarti ... cle_id=169) People just figured out how to turn it into a cash cow and Jagex intervened.
