December 17, 200718 yr With the recent updates I have found my self not really wanting to play Runescape anymore. I havent played for over 1 month now but was going to start again in January. I played Runescape to hang out with friends and my cousin was really one of the main reasons. But now that I cant give out free gifts to him or my friends I do not see much point for me to go back. It is like Jagex is taking out all interaction between players with the trade limit and the GE. I think that the trade limit could be taken away for people that have been friends for a month or more. That seems like quite a reasonable idea. Please do not turn this into a topic saying "Get over it" or "Learn to Deal with change". This is my decision and unless Jagex makes some amazing change I do not see myself playing anytime soon or ever again. I would like for you to share your opinions on the updates and how they effected you.
December 17, 200718 yr Well, They needed a quick fix, Stick around for another month and they'll touch up on the updates. SKIMMYSTROWN AND BETTER THAN YOU.http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=703695
December 17, 200718 yr I will not be quitting, I have faith in Jagex and believe they will work hard to fix and adjust these updates to everyones likings.
December 17, 200718 yr This trade restriction will be changed or patched somehow i'm sure. Most the serious players are not keen on the idea, and jagex is a company, not a goverment. Some people are like slinkies, normally they are dull, but they always give you a smile when you push them down a flight of stairs.
December 17, 200718 yr Author Well, They needed a quick fix, Stick around for another month and they'll touch up on the updates. Thats what I am hoping for. I am sure they will make updates but to what extent is what I am wondering.
December 17, 200718 yr Jagex themselves have said that it cannot go any further on that side, the next updates will always be good for the players, they have said. As for me, I kinda like most of those updates.
December 17, 200718 yr I played Runescape to hang out with friends and my cousin was really one of the main reasons. Really? If I quit (which I'm NOT), it would be because of my cousin. Why did I introduce him to RS? WHY? :wall: :wall: Currently will be using my Oni Tsurugi account to attempt to get 99 on all free skills without spending any gp, just for the sake of doing so.
December 17, 200718 yr I'm not quitting, for the sole reason that Runescape is still fun, like icecube said. Actually, in my eyes RS is the best it's ever been. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009
December 17, 200718 yr Author I played Runescape to hang out with friends and my cousin was really one of the main reasons. Really? If I quit (which I'm NOT), it would be because of my cousin. Why did I introduce him to RS? WHY? :wall: :wall: Yea, if it wasnt for him resparking my interest I would have been long gone by now. And I cant begin to think how much money I have given him but now I probably wont be able to.
December 17, 200718 yr My clan keeps me here. I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.So, what is 1.111... equal to?10/9. Please don't continue.
December 17, 200718 yr The updates have only affected me in positive ways (i.e. no longer worrying about pkers when mining in the Wild) or haven't affected me at all (i.e. I never did trade with players in the first place). So, yeah, I'm sticking around. Part of the Star Traks network. (^^Clicky!) Irony: An amnesiac rediscovering they have an eidetic memory.
December 17, 200718 yr If these updates end up making the game less enjoyable to the point where it's not fun anymore, I will be quitting. For me, it's far too early to actually decided whether or not to quit. I am confident though that overall these updates are good, and will actually probably make runescape a more enjoyable game.
December 17, 200718 yr Well, They needed a quick fix, Stick around for another month and they'll touch up on the updates. This is true. Jagex had to stop all RWTs quickly and the recent updates is what they had to do to stop it. Now that these updates have taken place (or about to) and RWTs are gone, Jagex has more time to tweak these updates to find new systems that can replace the old and still be fun while keeping RWTs away! They said they want to hear people's suggestions and they are already planning stuff so just hang on and wait.

December 17, 200718 yr Jagex themselves have said that it cannot go any further on that side, the next updates will always be good for the players, they have said. As for me, I kinda like most of those updates. +1 Also, threads like this are an ufair reflection on people's opinions. People who are going to quit are far more likely to post here than people who aren't. It gives a skewed perspective. The actual number that quit can been seen by watching the number of players on the main RS page. A drop of 10% so far (which is probably mostly bots and gold farmers)
December 17, 200718 yr Not quitting. I fully understand Jagex's decision and accept it. Also, the game has lost barely anything. I can still play it and have fun with it, kill people if I want, make money if I want to. 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops! Including draconic visage, d chains, d spears, d2h, d claws, d meds, d legs, d skirts... d bones, d hides :)?I want jagex to put resource dungeons and dungeoneering skill doors to dungeoneering floors so I can dungeon and get dungeoneering xp while I dg so I don't have to dg to get dg exp, but I can dg while I dg :)?
December 17, 200718 yr I'm staying. I want to see how Summoning will work and because RS still is fun.
December 17, 200718 yr Im not quitting. Im not keen on the loss of being able to gift things to my friends, or give a little lost newbie some cooked food and some spare Iron armour i have hanging in my bank, but I am sure I shall find a way to adapt and incorporate the new updates into my normal game playing manner. I understand completely why JaGeX have had to implement all the hard hitting changes that they did last week, and I suspect, had it not all been announced at once, there wouldnt have been as much uproar as there was. I hope that JaGeX will take some of the excellent Ideas ive seen around and work towards a solution to the parts that everyone enjoys like gifting and so on.
December 17, 200718 yr Not getting members as a result of updates; will quit in a month if there is no improvement. Still enjoying RuneScape?
December 17, 200718 yr I havn't quit, but I've gone f2p. Whips: 3 Dragon Boots: 15 My 99's: Attack & Cooking Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Goldenjkered
December 17, 200718 yr I, for one, am not too affected by these updates, on the contrary, I actually like it, seeing that now it's impossible to log off to escape a revenant. Now I have a lot more in bank space,and clan wars is fun and safe.
