Will Jagex repeal the stake limit?

[Will H]

I talked to Pual Gower a few days ago, and he said that the limit was "unlikely" to be temporary. But then again, "unlikely" does not mean "never."

 

 

 

Sounds like he had some conversation with a lawyer and decided to use his newly acquired lawyertalk-skill.

 

 

 

Not really newly acquired, we all know that Paul (and his brother) both have level 99 in lawyertalk. They've been talking like that ever since RS2 came out.

 

 

 

Oh, and I really don't think that Jagex will 'repeal'. By definition, Jagex doesn't 'do' repeal.

 

 

 

But, they may replace the restriction with something more complex and less restricting on legitimate players. There are some better solutions floating around. They may not do it, but it will be better.

 

 

 

So, I say 'replace', not 'repeal'.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and doesn't the 'stat reveal' lunar spell kinda solve the whole pure issue, with them trying to hide their ability behind a false combat level?

Ok, let me get this straight (I haven't logged in for a while): The new update prevents any dueling other than 64-person tournaments? Wow, that sounds...not as good.

[Methud]

I stake once in a while and when i do i stake only like 5k or so, so i don't really mind. But no i dont think there gonna change anything.

[bbjoe282]

they may not repeal it but they may raise it to somthing less restricting like 100k

[The Observer]

I don't think they will repeal it. After all, it will just induce more riots for other updates that people don't like perfectly.

 

 

 

But, you never know.

[wild_goat_14]

they may not repeal it but they may raise it to somthing less restricting like 100k

 

 

 

They should have made it 0 so no one would say "raise the limit".

[Peronix]

Perhaps. But if they do repeal it, it will be because of the few people who actually contributed some sensible arguments and reasonable alternatives, NOT because of the [developmentally delayed] rioters.

 

 

 

This, I believe, is an excellent response. Trouble is, what are the reasonable alternatives? It seems that once you allow staking, you allow people to abuse the system.

 

 

 

I think one good alternative would be to simply raise the cap to something like 500k every 15 minutes. 2m an hour is still really good, but not anywhere near as ridiculous as being able to win billions in rares on a good day. That would also still limit RWTers from using it, because there isn't a RWTer out there that will wait around for 5 hours to transfer 10m when they could just do it on a throwaway account.

[Artificial_Doom_Flavor]

This actually solves absolutely nothing. I've seen goldfarmers trade their goods in Edgeville bank between dozens of their own level 3 accounts before handing it off to what I presume is either a main, a buyer, or another mule account. Staking takes nominally less time.

what is the staking rule? sorry i dont play rs much anymore :wall:

There's a little thing called highscres that works to, if they are a half decent pure.

[gameboypen]

Its more than to just stop RWT traders, stops large amount of money with one person.

[Latinoking]

They should. But their cowards.

[Mr_Cheese]

i reckon they should do it to 100k, nobody would pay the small amount for 100k. atleast i think it is a small amount :-w

[Dracomancer]

No.

[justeroniehh]

With all of the little "riots" and rants about the newly established staking limit, do you think Jagex will give in to the pressure and remove the staking limit?

 

 

 

no, they won't. my theory is that they are making a chain of economy changes, i.e. the unidentified herbs update, duel arena; to get ready for the VGE (Varrock Grand Exchange) so they can, for once, stabilize the ecomony. but yeah i thought you'd like to know.. \

[benfr]

Out of curiosity...whats the point of themed staking worlds when you can't stake (decently) anymore?

[Atroxide]

They aren't going to, its final. But if they do, they will raise the max to 100k per 15 minutes.
