Omali Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Staking: Yet another concept that played out well once (still does on rsc) with a stable economy, yet doesn't do so well with a runaway economy (derailed by halfway literate twelve year olds and their "staker accounts") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udunwanan0 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah it was a good reason that they made that update but a lot of people were mad/effected by it. People who stake for fun is the first and second people who own rares :x . After that update all rares dropped at least 5m in 3 days. Now instead of cash people stake rares so the update did not really change much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordkrohn1626 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Turns out that the public just won't believe the truth even when it's given to them in plain English. [You can't accept what Jagex said, so you're willing to listen to any cockamamie theory that anyone else has. Absolutely pathetic.] Even though this article is a generalization of someone's own mind? Even though this object could be completely off, your willing to listen to it, and call it the truth? Yes, your not contradicting yourself, good job. I guess you didn't get my play on words. What I meant (and thought I clarified at the bottom) was that people are just willing to listen to whatever someone else's opinion is and believe that to be the true reasoning behind what Jagex did. ahhhhhhhh love how all the alarmists come out of the woodwork after EACH and EVERY update...."It's the end of the world! quick sell your barrows!" I'm putting this quote in my signature.

epeeflecher Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 WOW! all I can say is WOW. (wow as in the expression of amazement, not World of warcraft, thankyou very much.) A lot has happened in my Absence from Runescape. I am beginning to bash myself in the head. Why did I quit Runescape to work my day off to make about $7,000 when I could of kept playing it and made $100,000+ a year. #-o HAHA \ What he said :shock: . Cept i didnt quit.

Cabbage_Boii Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yea, i know they do, as most people do... but.... There was a quote of a J Mod on RSOF saying that Runescape lost about 3% of their players because of this update, and about 0.05% of RS population is RWTers, why would they make that trade.. rly? To help us. The REAL rs player. we lost some pure stakers but we prolly lost quite a bit rwters Let your yellow mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodArgon Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I think what he said is right. Earning 500M in one day off of some lucky hits because your attack level is higher, or you alched for days straight just isnt right. It eliminates skills, and wrecks the encomoy. They should increase the cap to 1-5M per hour, so you cant win that much. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexek Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 There are still ways to make it better, and keep RWT down. Hopefully Jagex will consider some of these options.

Hopefully Jagex will consider some of these options. +1 There is SO many things they can do. All they had to do with staking was make it to where you couldn't stake anything like say... 3 lvls higher or lower. <--- free rs guides by me lawlRip emofury 11/20/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatebringer Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well i say its well written, but it is very hard to know how many people actually took part in these "casino type RS playings" and i doubt more than 10% of all stakers (and i might be over exaggerating this) ever did anything like that. 99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 StrengthGamertag: H8tebringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magekillr Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 the only person "buying back in" would be the day that R2pleasant thought he knew how to stake and tried using his "merchanted" gold to stake with and lost a lot. they don't buy back in...i was a staker...i get cleaned one day, i make 100M the next. i ended up with 1.5B when the arena was killed...woulda been there more had i known they'd do what they did.

muggiwhplar Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Wow you'd have to be a complete idiot to believe something like this We've seen it time and time again. A player claims to be "cleaned", and shows up the next day, staking furies, dragon chainbodies, or even party hats. Are we to believe they legitimately made 200 million RS Gp in a day? Of course not. These people are buying back in P.S.

bob_hello Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just looked at the updates again today - havnt played past few months. All i can do is :shock: :shock: :shock: wtf have they done to staking? Staking on runescape is the best part about it. Training for hours and finally being able to kill everyone is a great feeling + the 100m's that you can get off it is a great...Much better than spending my friday nights running natrue runes :P Why would they remove this? i understand some people buy cash when they get cleaned or some people sell cash when they win big but thats no where near the majority of high stakers. I'd say that maybe 10% of 20m+ stakers are selling/buying runescape gold but the other 90% dont. Why ruin it for the rest of us when you can 'easily trace gold' and ban the accounts abuseing the rules. I understand the element of gambing may come into it but for us older players that doesnt really matter. I used to stake big, it was a huge thrill but when i got cleaned i accepted it and just thanked it wasnt real cash. pfft [bleep] it i'm just gona leave runescape again, forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmidget448 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 dont let ze topic die =D All must know! Lol, I didn't see this topic before. Thanks for bumping it up :) Unfortunately, many stakers became very, very, VERY rich. Opulence to the point of conspicuous consumption, and, ultimately, profit. These same stakers who could bring in several hundred million GP per day could turn that over in exchange for several hundred US dollars per day. Haahaa, we just learned what conspicuous consumption means in History class :) There are probably more hidden reasons as to why Jagex capped staking. They might not be obvious now, but they'll eventually make their entrance into RS society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ego_scorpion Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Ugh... Cleaned! We've seen it time and time again.

These people are buying back in. Was reading and agreeing for the most part until I read this. This is just a vague assumption. I know countless people that have been "cleaned" and worked their way back up because their friends lent them money, which they later payed back. You can not assume everyone is a cheat because you end up punishing everyone but the cheaters if you do.

You can not assume everyone is a cheat because you end up punishing everyone but the cheaters if you do. But it's true. A lot of 'pro-stakers' buy their way back into the industry you could call it. Although I know people who actually get cleaned and work their way back in by RuneCrafting or Merchanting. Let's see, Cursed You. First to 99 construction, ended up selling all his rares becauase of the profits, over 140k NZ$. Bogdan222222, nobody really remembers him much...He bought a phat, staked, got cleaned, bought a set, got some total levels really fast, banned. He was 2 levels from maxing his total level. ^~As far as I know~^ These are just a couple of them but I personally know a few 'minor stakers' that bought a phat or some gp, staked a load and got banned because Jagex realised they bought back in.
