staking DESTROYED

[j00b]

why are you all complaining? SO WHAT there is a cap on GP... there is no cap on items

 

 

 

if you want a big stake , go and buy items ...people already stake whips and furys and discontinued items , its not that big of a deal... now you will see more stakes for rune items , or other well known priced items...

 

 

 

its doesnt really effect anything , you just have to WORK A LITTLE around the new update , stop being so lazy.... :notalk:

There is a cap! 3k is for both items and gp...

[Sharane]

While I rarely, if ever, duel and let alone gamble my wealth this does look like a very stupid move on Jagex's part. Instead of a 3k per 15 minute limit why didn't they set it so the staked items on both parties are betting items of identical or nearly identical value such as a 5-10% difference?

 

 

 

First the random events, then the essence splitting, the shop update and now this? Jagex, please... :-s

I never stake. So this really doesn't affect me much at all.

 

 

 

But though I don't personally care, I feel for all those who have trained hard for their stakers. Who find it the most fun in Runescape. I believe these people deserve to have their staking methods the same.

[TheMinerGuy]

Maybe Jagex wants people to start skilling and get the full benefits of the game.

 

They do not only care about themselves and money, they also care about the people being smart consumers, well the word for smart starts with an c but I forgot :S...

 

it's because, they don't want the people to just constantly use money to be a pking pure.. they want them to be able to use that session of paid membership to do as much as most of what they can do.

 

And "cheap and fast" money making, like luring ( against rules), pking, staking, and those other stuff aren't really exactly the point of exploring all the benefits.. so I guess that's 1 reason?

 

 

 

 

 

i completely agree, runescapes more about skilling and combat rather than getting 100m a day from fights.

 

 

 

skilling > staking

And I'm sure you could stop being lazy and test out the update before accusing us of being lazy.

I can rest assured knowing that you don't stake, or even read the update..3k per 15 minutes?

 

 

 

I could probably make more by firemaking now... :roll:

[meol]

Although I normally dislike most rants here because they're merely whines, I sympathise 100% with this one, even if I'm not a staker. Some people have dedicated a lot of time to build up a good account for staking, and now they're useless. I'd have agreed if the limit was 1m, or even 250k, but 3k each 15 minutes is just an overkill. Obviously Jagex wants people to stop using single duels as a means to get money, bu i think they might have gone too far in name of killing bots and RWT.

 

 

 

The worst part about this is that there is no way to fix the problem so that both parties (stakers and Jagex) are content, so I don't see the update being reversed any time soon. At most, the limit will be somewhat higher, but not much.

[snowager286]

Jagex needs to watch out.... They are making a LOT of people mad.

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, 3k.... I could see 3k on the ground and walk right past it without a second thought.... -.-

 

 

 

Edit: Jagex is turning this into their own personal witch hunt. Sure I hate bots as much as every other Runescaper does, but I don't want to be punished to stop them.

Yeah, you only change a lightbulb when the first one breaks, sorry. That logic fails.

[child_sycopath]

They didn't have to set the cap. They could force stakes to be equal or almost equal (let's say max 10% difference). Honest stakers want their stakes to be fair, don't they? Only noobs, insane or *very brave* players OR real world item traders agree to '2m to nothing' stake.

 

 

 

that is a very good point and a inteligent idea, if only jagex had the brains of you, pitty they cant think of anything like that for themselves to they have to ruin one of the most profitable and enjoyable things in the game. i wish jagex had thought this through i mean they've basicly killed loads of peoples hard work training up a staker for the old staking rules,

 

one bad point about the idea you had, you already adressed it but, somtimes it is nice to have a 100k-0gp stake, makes it quite exiting.

[Huta]

Updates like this only remind me why I don't play RS anymore. :

 

 

 

GG jagex, GG.

[adsee5]

Jagex might be in trouble, most stakers will soon cancel membership, and some mains might too. Imagine what a huge blow that would be

 

 

 

jagex will lose money

[Olbritishchap]

I can't imagine what they were thinking when they said "let's make it so people can only stake 12k an hour!"

[goldhawk]

Just like everyone else I agree, 3k is nothing.

 

 

 

Even thought I personly dislike stakers, I agree that this is rediculess. Mabey 100k / 15mins would be more like it.

 

 

 

And for those who say to join the tournament system, its 90% luck in there. A lvl 90 combat can get paired with lvl 110+ players and if you're neerly out of food and you happen to be paired with someone who has plently your dead even if you're better than them by quite a bit. Are stakers realy going to risk up to 1m on those odds?

 

 

 

But, is jagex going to change this back? Probably not unless they loze a hell of a lot of money. So if you're a staker you're out of luck

[Evil_Sabre]

omg jerdex i jus made my ub3r c0ol staker to he cud totaly pwn but now i no can stake da big bucks, ahh I love reading the RSOF rants

 

 

 

I never staked a whole lot before but it kinda blows that lots of people just lost their main source of income, I'm betting jagex will change in back in a week or two, this is kind of obsurd

[Smapla]

It is hilarious.

[Gilformen]

im looking forward to trying out the tournaments, but seriously, a max of 3k winnings in 15 minutes for one-on-one duels? how pitiful is that?

These are the type of responses to the vast majority of Jagex's updates that always amuse me....."ZOMG I don't like the update, you better change it or we are ALL gonna quit!".......right.....allow me to show you the door, there you go M8, carry your lil behind right on over to another game, one less over-dramatic whiner clogging up the game....heres a tip, a lot of players love the game, enjoy dedicating years to developing their character, and I would dare say, it would take a lot, to make us quit.

 

 

 

Now for the garden variety nub who has a "main" (lev 58) and a "staker" (lev 34)....who whine and flop about every little thing, threaten to quit when the latest update wasn't catered to their lev 65 pker, staker slacker...etc, we are better off without you. Go ahead and quit, people are signing up everyday, it is a constant turn over...no worries m8, I have a sinking suspicion Jagex will be just fine. They have the top 200,000 players who are dedicated, to keep them going. I could care less if they doubled, tripled or quadrupled the monthly fee, it's just pocket change afterall. Maybe they should, that will keep the riffraff out of the game...go play F2P. you can join the "why can't we get MORE for free?" protests in Lumbry.

 

 

 

meh

[maddudy]

Wow. I would have expected a better response from you.

 

 

 

I really don't care if you never stake or pk - it doesn't matter. Anybody can see that this update is [bleep]ed up beyond belief. A 3k max on a stake that decreases...any way you put it, this qualifies for the worst update in RuneScape history. It serves no purpose. Does nothing but screw up a major section of the game. RWT? -.- Joke. All they have to do is droptrade or find some other way to transfer.

 

 

 

Sure, there are always idiots that cry "waaa...you have to take .5 of a second longer to cross the ditch when runecrafting, I'm quitting". This isn't some stupid ditch or some assist system. This isn't some minor thing that some generic kid uses to get attention in some rants forum. And yes, if this one isn't corrected, it WILL screw Jagex, because besides a few idiots that dislike pvp so much that they ignore common sense just for a chance to bash staking, you aren't going to find any supporters for this update. You will find a good chunk of the pvp sector dropping off, though.

 

 

 

Get your head out of your [wagon] next time, ok?

[scootlaboot]

some people get beat with the ugly stick.

 

 

 

Jagex got hit with the stupidity branch.

 

 

 

to quote Carlos Mencia: Dee Dee Dee

[chubbyman49]

Ha, I bet thousands of stakers are selling their accounts on ebay right now because of this update. Ahh, the irony.

[WolfhunterXZ]

Somebody call the Wahmbulance! Oh no!!! Staking is destroyed oh no oh no! Guess I need to actually have fun with the game by questing, skilling, and training!!! Oh dear Saradomin what to do?! You know, the other way you can make money is by doing a tournament with a few stakers, that works too you know? Or you can use rares (Not sure if that works because of market value and if Jagex implemented something for that). You know, you could also make lots of money using skills, and not just attacking people in the duel arena. I've rarely gone to the Duel Arena. If I do, it's for fun, or low stakes anyway.

 

 

 

Your rant fails. No major description of why, and fix your spelling and grammar, so then my brain doesn't die because of your horrid English.

 

 

 

Oh, and would you like some more cheese with your whine?

 

 

 

-Wolfy

 

 

 

Edit: Okay, I have to agree with 3k being a bit TOO LITTLE. It should atleast be a max of 100-500k.
