The point is, the grand exchange should be the medium to sell items at around the market value. So, general stores do NOT need to do the same thing; we have the GE now. Thus, general stores should go back to the old system of selling things cheaply if there are many of them, and buying and selling at less than the market values. If you've played Runescape for any amount of time, you know the general stores aren't the best place to sell things; let's keep it that way, and make the grand exchange the place to sell things.

 

 

 

(The rest is kind of a rant; sorry if it doesn't belong)

 

 

 

What's the point of a general store now? There's no point in buying anything from it, since it seems to sell at "average market prices" and you can get stuff cheaper at the grand exchange. It used to be a place to dump stuff you don't want (for less than it's worth) and buy stuff at less than its worth if there's a lot of them. Now... the general store is only good for dumping stuff you don't want, at much less than the "average market price". The problem is, now you can sell those things at the GE for slightly less than the "average market price".

 

 

 

It just isn't fair, if you sell something to the store for 800 gp, then the price of it to buy from the store is 1500 gp, while the bounds in the GE are probably like 1000-1200 gp. It makes absolutely no sense, and it was at least nice for people who don't want to PK to be able to get stuff cheaply now and then from the store. It isn't ripping someone off if they sell an uncut gem to the store while its market price is much higher; it's their choice. As they play the game more, they'll learn, and either just drop the gems if they don't want them or sell them or use them to make jewelery. It seems like the general store price change is either Jagex trying to baby people more, or else them trying to make us spend our hard-earned gold pieces on common things instead of over-priced rares.

Yeah, no point visiting General stores now, not even to unnote stuff, what a shame.
