gdawg1512 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Its amazing isn't it. When I first heard of the new grand exchange system, I thought "Wow, Runescape is really moving up". Little did I know how wrong I was. On November 20th, Jagex placed a 3k cap on all stakes and created a new "Tournament Mode" where up to 64 players can compete for up to 64 million gp. Nothing wrong with this right? Wait...What? :-s A 3k stake limit? You can't be serious? I mean, think about it, staking was a way of life and a legitimate way of making money for thousands of players (the rants section was at 3390 pages at the time of this post). If you think this update won't effect you because you never staked well, you're dead wrong. The effects the recent updates and this update especially will have on the economy are immeasurable. Even f2p is going to be feeling this one :? Thousands have/ will quit because of this update but you know what? The game will keep on going. Those who quit, those who's way of life was destroyed by this update will be replaced by newer, less experienced players who are happy to play the game the older players thought of as damaged goods. The only people who will remember the good old days will be those nostalgic, rich players who can't seem to deal with the immaturity of the newer generation. When those players are repulsed by the newest update, yet another generation will replace them. The only thing left for us stakers to do is to respectfully resign. Rather than implement some creative monitoring, jagex has decided to slight the needs of all types of stakers in an very, very short sighted way.

When those players are repulsed by the newest update, yet another generation will replace them. Heh, I never thought of this, but it's true. Example: A lot of people quit because of how much the game has changed since RSC, but it's not as bad for me because I didn't start playing until the release of RS2. It seems that there will always be new players joining after a controversial update that can't compare it to anything before. :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 It's a real shame you can't find some other way to have fun in this vast game.

Yeah, dueling is just a mini game in a game, a frame story if you will. If your quiting because of this update to the minigame, then you don't actually appreciate RuneScape all that much. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mico Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Oh whell, now instead of staking 3 mil, you' ll only be able to stake 3k. That' s a harsh blow to people with 126 combat levels. Whell, now that that' s gone, JAGeX probably wants players to stay and try out the new skill. But, since they have no clue about what players want, they' ll just keep loosing players.

Rsdude099 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Jesus, a new skill is coming out? HOpe they dont mess up.

Will H Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Duel arena is a mini-game. Yes, I said mini-game. Runescape isn't only about the Duel Arena. Heck, they may change it into something less restricting. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Duel arena is a mini-game. Yes, I said mini-game. Runescape isn't only about the Duel Arena. Rune crafting is a skill.

gameboypen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It's bad but I think they real reason they made it 3k is not because of RWT but becaus ethey didn't want people to be dealing with that much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
