It's twice i've had this bug now, this time i got a screenshot of it:

 

 

 

 

Discuss.

So were you able to make the trade? Or no? Man..I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until January 1st. :ohnoes:

They don't like you :shock: .

So were you able to make the trade? Or no? Man..I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until January 1st. :ohnoes:

AND only to new players before that...

What's there to discuss? this is simply basic an early screenshot of what will happen in the future, a bug now, but truth in January.

 

 

 

I see no means of discussion

The message that you can see in the chatbox was what it said when i pressed "accept".

 

 

 

If there was only a 3k difference, yes, i would have been able to make the trade.

Some players have been tracked as "high threat" or something along those lines by Jagex - they do not get to wait till January for balanced trades

 

 

 

Send them a query and find out if you're one of them

Um... this could show further bias against certain characters as shown with the spree of "offensive" name banning. Look at Queltar's article to learn about THAT.

Dear ********

 

 

 

Thank you for your question regarding the recent changes to trading.

 

 

 

Jagex has been working hard on a number of ideas to remove the threat of Real-World Trading from the game.

 

 

 

Real-World Trading is a plague to online gaming. It encourages cheating and bypassing game mechanics designed to make the game fun, therefore diminishing the enjoyment of playing. Other players, who see those people cheating and gaining the items not by skill, but by money, get upset. Why should they duel or quest with those who did not earn their 'loot'?

 

 

 

When we announced that we were removing unbalanced trading we were sure that those involved in Real-World Trading would try to do what they could to 'offload' their inventory as soon as possible. It is because of this that we have implemented this change for new accounts and also for what we call 'High Risk' accounts.

 

 

 

Jagex has a system in place that determines whether an account is 'High Risk' and unfortunately your account has been flagged as such. We are sorry that this has occurred, but we are unable to remove your account from the 'High Risk' status as that would involve removing this system from the game. The risk to RuneScape posed by those involved in Real-World Trading is too great to do this.

 

 

 

However, please rest assured your account has not been flagged as 'High Risk' as a result of any rules being broken. Additionally your account is at no risk of being banned as a result of being flagged to us.

 

 

 

All other RuneScape accounts will be restricted in the same way in the first week of 2008, so please let us assure you that we are not singling out your account. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you.

 

 

 

I would like to encourage you to read the 'Development Diaries' that detail our battle with Real-World Trading , which are available on our main page (http://www.runescape.com).

 

 

 

It is only through partnership with you, the loyal and good players of RuneScape, that we will be able to bring Real-World Trading to an end. If you place your trust in us, and support these initiatives, we promise to deliver a better RuneScape experience over the years to come.

 

 

 

We hope this will help you to understand the reason we had to make these changes.

 

 

 

Good luck. :)

Ahem... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10.

 

That didn't work. So:

 

Thats the biggest load of grade A manure suitable for the fertilization of fine fruit and vegetable products that I have ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes upon!!!

Aha, maybe it's because the people i was trading were "high risk" accounts? I traded somebody else and it worked, when they tried the same it didn't.

 

 

 

*cough* the guy did look like the type of person who would buy gold *cough*

does this mean i cannot get my black cav from my bro?!

does this mean i cannot get my black cav from my bro?!

 

 

 

No, unless one of you have been flagged as "high risk". :lol:

does this mean i cannot get my black cav from my bro?!

 

 

 

No, unless one if you have been flagged as "high risk". :lol:

i think you mean "not if", not "not unless if" :P u said the opposite of what you meant. Unless of course, you're really weird. which is a possibility :P

 

 

 

i didnt know this could happen to people, and i didnt know being on a 'flagged' list could affect youre in game abilities :o

i think you mean "not if", not "not unless if" :P u said the opposite of what you meant. Unless of course, you're really weird. which is a possibility :P

 

 

 

Oops, "if" was a typo for "of". :anxious: :oops:

What does "high threat" entail as defined by JaGex?

 

 

 

 

 

ask em, i bet you will get an automated response.

 

 

 

 

 

stupid CS

so with all this. i'm guessing that if you've been placed at "high risk" you must have singled out a single skill right?

 

 

 

if i am right, which i may be, looking at all these RWT levels. So will my friend(and others) be able to trade things like a whip or something to their friend(if both are low risk. or not "high risk"??

 

 

 

cause i say a post bout a mother, or father. who said they wouldnt quit they'd become free player... wait that was the mother....

 

 

 

oh yeah. the uncle said he would give his son random things like 30 sets of addy and mith. If say the newpue(correct spelling please) was a higher level or say 40. and both were none high risk. could they still make this trade??

 

 

 

sorry it's a little bad/odd typing but i am confused about this trading ban.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It's a fake.

I think the limit should be put at around 10k. some items like climbing boots are worth less than 1k (in the grand exchange, people don't bother to buy only 1 for 10k, they buy a large quantity for a lower price, simialr to laws). So now climbing boots are 5-10k worth when buying 1 item but if your account is flagged, you have to give a discount.

was this a new account? because last night I gave my RL wife 50k pure ess, 20k steel arrows and 2300 iron arrows in one trade, with nothing on her side....dont rememeber the value but it was in the millions....went right thru, no warning or anything.....

This is strange. And you have had it twice too? Poor you :(. All I can recommend you is to send a message to Jagex and tell them about the bug.
