Bonus Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 What if they made it so you can only trade one item at a time. Like a 3rd age item for a stack of cash. That would ruin merchanting, as no more junk trades. But how would that effect RS? Would all the merchants quit or figure out other ways, if there would be any? What are all your thoughts on this. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Another if thread. o.O It won't happen, but IF, I could see some people quitting, but the GE would need a hell of an improvement to justify this.

xpx Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'm not saying they would, but what if? What if they made it so you can only trade one item at a time. Like a 3rd age item for a stack of cash.

What are all your thoughts on this. >_> EDIT: Changed the "Is" in the title to "If". Typos ftl. If you could only trade 3rd age for cash, that doesn't mean you would HAVE to trade your 3rd age items for cash. I believe 90% of 3rd age and mask owners would simply wait for the prices to update to a reasonable price range rather than give your items away for free. Also party hat owners would become really desperate. Also to take away merchanting, you would have to remove the 5% +/- rule aswell, because that is how most merchants make their money nowadays.

Typos ftl. merchants are annoying but the only reason item prices are so high is becasue junk doesnt just appear it needs to be made/collected im just hoping we dont have another zammy gs :wall: #-o Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod![hide=old sig][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezz Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Most merchants have switched to investing instead, and removing investing would have to mean that they'd remove price change #-o [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.

BlueLancer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Strictly speaking no "if" topics allowed because people make anything from "wat if u could ride giraffes" and it always turns to spam, but I reworded your title so a good discussion doesn't have to be closed.

Bonus Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 By merchanting I mean players making others pay millions over the price. What I find funny is people actually buy when you can spend awhile and get it for the real price in the GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 well merchants now a days, are pretty much catalysts, apart from when they like to team crash items like guthans was team crashed.. or when they buy out items such as armadyl helms.. in a way merchants control rs now, as they control the ge, by buying out higher or selling lower in somecases.. To me when free trading was around i could set my own price like with nats the kid next to me selling 290 ea, ill wait for him to clear off and sell 300 ea, cant do that anymore, so its a little awkward.. price wise the person with the money is the person who controls the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 No no no no no, Smellysocks is obviously on to something here. I also feel that RS without merchants would be Heaven. Here's why. Merchanting is, for lack of another word, a draconic practice. With the GE, we don't 'need' them anymore to jack prices up sky-high. This of course doesn't include making a very quick dollar, meaning selling slightly higher than someone right next to you. I realize that there are others that won't share my sentiment, but I feel that RS would be far better off without merchants.
