When trading normally(with other players) you can only trade a certain amount of trade that is tilted to other yourself or others too heavily. You can gain up to 30,000 through trades(or less depending on your number of quest points) Prices for items are based on ge prices, and you cant trade over or under the limit.(30,000 or less, depending on quest points.)

 

Example: Your friend trades you a diamond(worth 3k in ge for arguments sake) You can pay up to 33k for it.

 

Alternate Example: Your friend trades you 5,000 diamonds. Worth 1.5M for arguements sake) You can pay between 1,470,000 to 1,530,000 for it. Or less if you had less quest points.

you cant trade items that scale off the 3k limit.

 

 

 

ex: a rune long (23k) can't be traded for anything more or less then that.

 

 

 

yes: a rune long (23k) for 30 sharks (21k)

 

 

 

no: a rune long for a zamorak godsword (38M)

 

 

 

no #2: a rune long (23k) for a bronze dagger (3gp)

unbalanced trading was when u could trade any amount of cash/items for either higher or lower than its stock prices.

 

 

 

But since they removed it, now u can only trade items with the same value.

 

 

 

example:

 

 

 

Me:

 

 

 

rune skim= 23k

 

rune full= 145k

 

total= 168k

 

 

 

if u want to get all of the items above u have to trade me somethin thats 3k less or 3k more than 168k.

 

 

 

this is "balanced" trading

 

 

 

and the part about how QP relates to tradin im still wonderin too

unbance trade is what it says unbalnce u cant do more then 3k

An unbalanced trade is when someone pays more or less than the value of an item or items according to Jagex price list, or the Grand Exchange.

 

Ex: An Item A costs 100k according to Jagex. Your 3k limit means that item cannot be less than 97k or more than 103k when you trade it. The idea was to stop RWT'ers, real world traders, from trading alot of gold for little value.

 

 

 

Now Jagex figures RWT'ers are people who don't do quests, so the people who do the quests are not likely to be RWT'ers. So to reward people who do quests, you can get your trade limit raised as high as 30k.

 

Ex: A person who has a 30k trade limit, can sell Item A, valued at 100k for as low as 70k or as high 130k. So the more quests you do the higher your trade limit.

 

 

 

But remember the trade limit is based of the person with the lowest trade limit. If you have 15k and another has 10k, the trade limit is 10k between you two.

 

 

 

Finally Jagex figures you can trade items and can lose/gain up to your trade limit at a maximum every 15 minutes. Meaning you can gain/lose up to your trade limit every 15mins at most.

Its 50. Also, the number of Quest Points you have doesnt count on a F2P server, everyone has a max of 3,000 coins.

I figure the reason that QP factor in to whether you can trade or not is that Jagex figures that a char selling gp or items for real world money is not going to waste time getting quest points, because it's not going to be a real player, essentially. So someone with high quest points is more likely actually playing the game and not making a profit in the real world.
