Our_Moon Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 ~Well, with the new updates, all prices will be moderated. You will not be allowed to buy nor sell Items for 3,000 Gp over/under their "value." And, Jagex has complete control over these values...~ ~In the future, perhaps Item-for-Item trades will be just as common as Cash-for-Item ones. If you can buy an Item for say 6 Rune Plates, you can trade those to someone else for another Item. Hence, a barter economy. Granted Gp will always be preferred over Items, i think the number of Item-for-Item trades will increase dramatically soon.~ ~Post thy thoughts.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaskkes Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I dont, because objects that are within the 3k gp range to trade would be very difficult to get within that amount. Say if you want to buy 100k worth of p ess, and you trade for say 2 rune plates and rune plates are worth 42k ea. Then you wont be within the limit without adding an item of lesser value in the trade too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our_Moon Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 ~So get more Rune Plates. This is assuming a direct trade for 10k Pure ess for 31 Rune Plates.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadyllo Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 It doesn't sound any easier to trade in items than in gp. The Grand Exchange is automatically shifting the prices of the items up and down every day, so we'd need to know the current price of the item and ensure we'd got the right number of it to trade for whatever it was we wanted... Nah, I think I'll stick to cash for most of my trading needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyMcNabb Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I think geepees will remain the foremost trading currency as items have set values meaning it's very difficult to get a market worth whilst using sought after items which will be traded. Geepees are always sought after and they are the most variable tradeable item as you can vary them by one at a time, rune plates for example can be varied by 42000 at a time (in gold worth).

death666bl00ms Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 D'oh! "The greatest joy a man can know is to conquer his enemies and drive them before him. To ride their horses and take away their possessions. To see the faces of those who were dear to them bedewed with tears, and to clasp their wives and daughters in his arms." -Genghis Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Freedom Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 If anything, Jagex ensured that GP will continue to play the role "money" in RuneScape forever rather than making it obsolete. After the January update, most trade will start to take place in the GE, which only accepts GP as payment. The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+.

Green_Link Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 If anything, it's only obsolete during this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomster Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 In some respects, it may make barter trades easier, as the "net wealth transfer" indicator will show that the trade is fair, at least according to the somewhat artificial GE prices. Previously, in barter trades, you had to know the value of every item to know if the trade was good, but in the world of "Runescape meets Club Penguin", that is probably unacceptable.

Dragontotem Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Only thing i find annoying in this is that JaGEx themselves have said that 'We are not going to give prices to any items, so please don't suggest anything like that' or something along the lines So.. What are they doing now? EXACTLY that. making prices for items :| [/url]">[4Th in Finland to achieve 99 mining. 3Rd of June 2007]Pixels make me horny.

However, soon enough the players will start to influence these values more as 'The GE correction team @JT' start to kick in.

Blizaga57 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I really hope they don't come in and try to correct prices. But I bet they will right as everything is at the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkan420 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 it's 3k gp difference if you pay cash for items, but it's exactly the same if you use items instead. And with the ge constantly changing prices, it'd be way harder to know if you'll be 3k off with your 3 rune plates as apposed to using cash and knowing what you're giving.
