This is an unfair advantage, because, hey guess what, giving 10m to a lvl 3 is NOT the same as starting with nothing. I guess you hadn't noticed that, so I'll let you off on ignorance this time.....

Their game

 

Their rules.

It may be against the rules somewhat, but its impossible to get caught transferring items between a friend. I am not endorsing the idea but theres just no way you can get banned for that.

 

 

 

im beggining to remember why i left TIF...

 

Because people had their own opinions, that weren't wrong?

 

 

 

No, because it is full of argumentative stubborn people with the brain power of a chip.

 

 

 

There are a few people who have their own opinions, but most just go withthe flow or disagree with everything.

if everyone agreed on stuff we would have no posts, majority of posts are opinion based discussions, if you want to get rid of people that disagree just get rid of the forums...

If YOU worked hours to make 100m, YOU should be allowed o do whatever you want with it. Jagex can't expect someones pure or lvl 3 account, to make 100m in the time it did to do it on his/her main. If you trade the money to your other account, it's the same hours it would take to make it on the account your trading to, but, even longer because you have to get the lvls. I think this rule is unnecessary, and should be getting rid of.

It's kind of interesting that in the free and pay versions of Everquest,

 

you actually share your cash and can easily transfer 20 items at a time

 

between your 8 characters.

 

Your bank holds 240+ items but not all items can be transfered.

 

One of the common playstyles is that of "twinking" up a low level

 

character by transfering great gear down to him from higher levels.

 

 

 

Obviously, the Sony EQ developers don't have the same perspective

 

on this issue that the Jagex team does.

 

 

 

This might be because EQ is, primarily a cooperative group game and RS is, mostly, not.

Agreed. This rule is indeed stupid. I think that if we have 2 accounts, and we earned a cash on a determined account yet we want to play on another one, we have the right to transfer it.

 

If jagex has problems against drop trading and using friends as middle ways to achieve this, maybe they should make this possible by their own means.

I personally agree with you that Jagex got it "worng" as I have played many other MMO's that let you trade between acounts and create "twinks" or characters with superior items for their combat levels, similar to an RS pure. This was fun for higher leveled richer players, but drove up the price of armor and weapons out of the reach of the average low level player. Still, commerce is commerce.

I think that rule concerning drop trade is pathtic, the only way I can see it deadly is if someone takes the things you're droping, so Jagex should create an in-game vault where you can put the items there to tranfer it to another account, perhaps with a lapsus of transference of 24 hours.

 

 

 

Also, if you put some effort and make like 300m to gift your pure a blue party hat, it wouldn't be unfair, because your main don't have the money anymore.

 

 

 

Is unfair that you should spend time on making money on your pure accounts when you can spend the same time in your main to generate more money per hour.

 

 

 

I think this rule only exist to stop pures and stakers.

If you were a level 3, and you had 100 million, what would the other people think? The game is meant to be a challenge. It would seriously discourage other level 3s.

When you made the account you agreed to the rules.

 

 

 

Also you can make a scam account and keep transfering the money to your main and make a disadvantage.

 

 

 

Also it's stupid.

im beggining to remember why i left TIF...

 

Because people had their own opinions, that weren't wrong?

 

+1, everybodys opinion is valied and if you left TIF because everyone opinon was different then yours and you don't like that, then mabey you should leave.

 

On topic, the reason why you cant drop trade from a main to a pure is because it gives that pure a advantage that other people dont have.

 

 

 

+1 - for the On topic part.

Rules must have reasons behind them. A rule without a good reason to exist should not be allowed to stay. Would you drop all your items on the ground if Jagex made a rule of it?

Here's the rationale behind the rule:

 

 

 

You have a high level main. You use the skills of that main account to get lots of money, and transfer it to a level 3 account. Unless you merchanted, there's no way that level 3 account could have earned that money. That gives you an unfair advantage over everyone else who starts an account and DOESN'T have a high level main to support it with. It's intended so every account starts on the same playing field.

I could walk up to any random lvl 20 or 30 and give them 200m right now, they would have a massive unfair advantage they DIDNT work for, and thats perfectly within the rules..

 

However if i give hard earned money i actually had to work for to my pure its against the rules..

 

Explain that for me.

That rule is there for simple balance purpose.

 

 

 

Imagine an average level 90 gets a party hat from a death drop, and sells it to get a fury, whip (mind you, he probably had that one already), dragon boots, barrow melee armor, maybe the supplies for a fire cape, etc...

 

 

 

Now he goes into cwar and find an average level 90, with full rune, whip or d scim, rune boots, and glory etc...

 

 

 

Now, think who the winner of the fight will be, I put my money on the rich level 90, personally. Did he win because of insane skills? Nope, just because he got very easy money off the ground... It's luck, so nothing can be done against it, but when you drop trade, you go against the normal order of things.

Or you know they could institute and in game mail system so you can send people things for free or cod. Like say, in world of warcraft.

I Personly am one for this rule it makes it so YOU have to work harder on a project even if you have two accounts swap trading is what would just make every ones life so much easyer

 

 

 

so :shame: to drop traders

Exactly! I hate it when people blindly agree or disagree on something.

 

 

 

I do not believe in this rule. As others have said, it isn't different to give a random player 200M and call it fair.

 

 

 

To those who say it creates an unfair advantage, it does not.

 

You see, mains started out as lvl 3s and noobs. Lets call this one, Bob. Eventually Bob got richer and more powerful. At a point in his life, Bob wanted to make a pure. So to aid his new account, he gives it money and items.

 

 

 

Nothing wrong right? At least until we add the "unfair to another lvl 3" part. Now here comes a new player, called Dave. Dave is lvl 3 and fresh off Tut Island. He only has 25gp and bronze sword while Bob has 50M and a santa hat. They're not equal right? Course not. Dane however, has the same chance as Bob however, to raise a powerful main and supply his pure from it. Just not this instant, but in the future. This was also the case for Bob a long time ago. He had a chance on making a main and supplying his pure from his main. Dave has this same choice too.

 

 

 

 

 

A main-supplied lvl 25 is not equal to a non-main-supplied lvl 25, right? That's fact: lvl 25 has 25M > lvl 25 has 5.7K. Not equal. It isn't 'not fair', its 'not equal' which if applied the way most people think in this thread, means no one can have an advantage other than combat level. Which isn't what this game is about hmm? Whats the point of PKing, and Castle Wars, and RuneScape in general, if we're all the same in stats, levels, and hits? What if we were all equal in everything in RuneScape?

 

 

 

Nothing. That's the answer. This game was built on competition and it will require competition. Giving your pure 850M means your main will have 850M disapeared from it and your pure will have kick-arse items. Another player of the same level will not have the same items, but he however, has a chance to do the exact same thing in his pure in the future. The key, is time.

Point one.

 

I always thought the journey was more fun than the destination. And you don't have much of a journey by drop trading or otherwise trading items between accounts. If you achieve your goals too quickly, you get bored. Fast.

 

I am F2P, and it's freaking hard to raise levels high and not be bored to the point of quitting. If someone gave me enough money to buy all the buyable skills and more, that'd be nice, but I'd have a lot more fun actually getting stuff on my own.

 

 

 

Point two.

 

A level three being given 200m is pure luck, or generosity on the giver's part. Anyway, that's someone else giving up money. On the other hand, trading from one account of yours to another is your own action. It's the same thing as using a cheat on a video game.

 

 

 

Point three.

 

I would much prefer to see a level 100 have a rare than a level 3. Case in point: a level 16 walking around in full addy g and a santa during the halloween event. Then again, that's just me.

Ok lets say

 

 

 

account 1 has 10mil, you have worked hard for that 10mil

 

 

 

you decided to make a mage pure, you decide to drop trade 5mil.

 

 

 

Now the new account can now get easy mage levels, and that account hasn't worked for that money, you have basicly cheated. That is being as bad as a person buying items, or money with real life cash.

 

 

 

Thats the most likely reason.

I agree. This rule is defiantly one that I resent. I spent my time and resources to make my main into a moneymaking machine, why can't I allocate my resources as I see fit? This is why I will never have a pure, because I refuse to sit there and pick flax for hours on end, or train skills up that my main already has.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

e the holy but heads at Jagex say so. They are gods, we are nieve little kids who don't understand.

 

 

 

 

 

Most people think multi log means having 2 accounts loged in one world to do the same thing, like autos

 

 

 

maybe you are, but not all of us are under 16, and as far as them being "gods" just shows how in love with this game you really are...

 

 

 

Its you who earn the money, you should be able to do what you want with it, it would be logical, think of it this way, you play your character once working hard making gold to buy the stuff you want, you gain more levels, and eventually become bored of your character because you have done most everything, so you make a new character, but cant enjoy the game anymore because you already did the tedious work so everything becomes repetitive.

 

allowing drop traders would give a new element to the game where low leveled characters can compete in the wilderness. would be a smart move, would attract more hard gamers who would pay for the game, and might discourage new amature gamers who wouldnt pay for the game anyway.

Don't complain, just deal with it.

 

 

 

deal with a totally bull [cabbage] rule which is making my pure as crap as anything?

 

 

 

yes deal with it. and we all know 99% of pures drop trade so why make this thread.

 

 

 

give ur "pker" 100k so u can get better food,arrows armourthen other pkers and brag about your main being rich...
