Nenga Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Lately Jagex has said that there is a big new years update. This could be a number of things, new races, new armour, new planets even. Like discussed in the grand exchange, we are quite posibly loking at the end of mechanting when the update comes out. Jagex is taking a lot of sugestions recently. Every update this month but the new quest is a sugestion, they were doing this last month too. I remember seeing these on the forums and I went for them, besides the grand exchange(which was with the update seperating player stock from store stock), I have also noticed Jagex has regestered Mechscape. With these updates I think Jagex is trying to tear us away from runescape. Think, if they ruin mechanting a majority of the players will be done with runescape. The assist system where you just stand there insted of doing stuff, that is not how most players want it. While the new players will think that Jagex has given us a way of helping, and we just don't want to. So they think the people are rotten and want a new game to play. This leads me to believe that either the big new years update is either Mechscape, or a farwell to Runescape. In the farwell they would most likely do something to put the final nail in runescape's coffin and make us want a new game; and of corse they have one waiting in the wings. Although this is just my thoughts and in NO WAY states if jagex is really planing to do this. Post your thoughts on this. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Think, if they ruin mechanting a majority of the players will be done with runescape. Fail. Merchants are only a small minority of RuneScape's population. The bulk of the players are skiller mains and PKers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieeMania12 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Actually, with all these updates, Jagex is getting bigger and making more money. If the end of Runescape was really here, then why is it RS is not dying. Over 1 million people play RS and yet it is dying according to you...

Peronix Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Also I find it kind of strange how you think Jagex will just abandon RS for a completely new MMO they're working on. They've put so much time into developing RuneScape, and you think they'd just throw it away? Ha! There are companies that run 5+ MMOs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Ewan_1 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 we are not seeing the end of runescape. We are not going to get a new planet and no merchanting will ot be completely ruined. Maybe opportunities to merchant will go down after ge but nether the less we can still merchant if we want Goals achieved: lvl 99 Cooking, Fishing and Fletching.Surrey CC and Liverpool FC fan for life!

qeltar Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sorry, but there's not much here that makes even a tiny bit of sense. Think, if they ruin mechanting a majority of the players will be done with runescape. You *severely* overestimate how many players engage in merchanting. I don't think the GE will "ruin" merchanting, but if it did, I'd say 90% of players would consider that a good thing. This leads me to believe that either the big new years update is either Mechscape, or a farwell to Runescape. RuneScape is an incredibly valuable asset worth *billions* of dollars. There is absolutely no scenario under which Jagex would just shut it down. They are developing MechScape as an addition to RS, not a replacement. In the farwell they would most likely do something to put the final nail in runescape's coffin and make us want a new game; and of corse they have one waiting in the wings. That's not how things work.

Lux_Tenebrae Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Think, if they ruin mechanting a majority of the players will be done with runescape. Why do you think this? :?: The majority of the people who play RunScape do so to have fun. We do the quests, work on the skills, interact with friends and just generally mess around. Not having a bunch of people hanging around world 2 would have next to no negative effect on any of that. It would help in fact. Why, you may ask. Simple, most of the autoers that clog up parts of the game are controlled by those same people. So, if merchanting is what you think RuneScape is all about, fine, see ya. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. We who play for the love of the game and to have fun, won't even notice. :boohoo: ***Happily poking bears, kicking cubs and petting bobcats since 1967*** Who says smileys are always happy?

jessy87 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 good, if they are gone then perhaps products people get on their own will go higher again, whips might go back up to 3m+? who knows. end of the world? no, its a cleaning of the filth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merchants have absolutely nothing to do with the price of whips. Items go down in value because more of them come into the game than people who need them, simple as that.

Nanoha_Takamachi Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Let's say if jagex kills rs then most of the players just wasted years of their life. rofl!!! plus, i'm just too old for any mmo games. Mechscape, i wonder what its like... :-w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinless_Hero Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 do me a favor and think of a SINGLE reason why Jagex would want to ruin merchanting? why they would want to lose paying customers? people who disagree constantly blow out the old "man, why does Jagex hate us?" or "why do they put in stupid updates?"

Nopheo Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 good, if they are gone then perhaps products people get on their own will go higher again, whips might go back up to 3m+? who knows. Merchants have absolutely nothing to do with the price of whips. Items go down in value because more of them come into the game than people who need them, simple as that. Merchants do lower prices. Otherwise collection would gather with provider. Merchants constantly try to buy low from suppliers and since merchs care more about exact price then the slayers the price slowly goes down even though merchs try to keep price up.

qeltar Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Merchants are middlemen. They cannot create demand or supply for an item. They have the ability to temporarily influence prices, and they certainly do make it harder for buyers and sellers to get good deals. But they cannot make an entire market go down -- only an imbalance of supply and demand can do that.

wakka102 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Runescape will not end, if it did it would be a huge mistake on Jagex's part financially, they have no reached the potential of this game yet. People can say all they want about this so called "Mechscape" but I don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieeMania12 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I don't know what the hate is for the merchants. Do they affect your gameplay? Certainly not. Do they affect my gameplay? Not really. So, why bad mouth a group like merchants if they don't even ruin your experience on RS?
