Solutions to bots and real world trades?

[lilray88]

Isn't there another solution to stop these bots and real world trades..well my solution is to make the whole game members..cause they are losing too many players as it is so why not just go ahead and make ppl pay? since bots are mostly non-members and the main cause for all this...take the free 2 play away. It doesn't make any sense not being able to do unbalanced trades..so no more having fun with friends killing high lvl monsters for rare items, well might as well make this game a 1 player offline game then. No more sharing stuff with friends, no more drop parties, no more giving junk away to noobs, no more transfering ur items to another char(pure, skiller,etc),no more gifts :boohoo: .Just look at what we can't do no more, it's hilarious and ridiculous. been playing since Feb 2002 and this is how the game turns out few years from then.wowowow! :boohoo:

First, there are still plenty of members bots, etc.

 

 

 

Secondly, I doubt many people would just start playing this game for $5/month without prior exposure. I know I wouldn't. The game would slowly die out.

I agree, the game WILL eventually die out, but how abt a 7 or 14 day free trial? thats a good one, lets u test the game out for that amount of time then after that u gotta pay to play.

I personally dont think this would be a good idea.... first of course there are still many mem bots.

 

 

 

You also mention a 7-14 day trial... for me that short amount of time wouldn't be enough for me. I only started wanting to become a member after i had played for about 6 months to a year. 7-14 days is way too little I think for most people

[lilray88]

still think the trial is good idea..maybe more days..but then it'll give time to bots..i dont care abt bots they don't bother me soo...

I disagree to a full extent to your suggestion...lets take them 1 by 1 per highlighted phrase...

 

 

 

1.

"... bots are non-members"

Well, I believe Members are more likely possible to be "real-world tarders"...as making rs money being a memeber is so fast and easy...compared to being a non-member.

 

 

 

These ppl, however, use new accounts (Lvl3 in F2P) as they are free!!!

 

BEING A REAL-WORLD TRADER NEEDS TO EARN REAL CASH...NOT PAY CASH FOR JUST A NEW RUNESCAPE ACCOUNT!!! #-o =D> #-o So they appear to be non-members in this case.

 

 

 

2.

"...take the free 2 play away. It doesn't make any sense not being able to do unbalanced trades..."

 

 

 

Non-members dislike that fact too, and its not the Non-members who did this...Jagex did. DOnt Blame just to get what you want.... =;

 

 

 

rememeber...Without non- members, Runescape wouldnt be more fun... Non-members take up tp 90% of the whole population in Runescape.

 

 

 

3.

"...no more giving junk away to noobs..."

I thought you want to kick of non-members??? #-o There's no better noobs than non-members. :shame:

 

 

 

4.

"...no more transfering ur items to another char(pure, skiller,etc)..."

We all know that is illegal, read the rules again. :notalk:

Read again - they pay for members with stolen credit cards and the like.
