G.E should the caps be changed?

It's againts the law in most countries - it's called "price fixing"

 

 

 

so who cares about jagex rules?

 

I still can't believe this.

 

 

 

Virtual currency isn't real currency, therefor not governed by the laws of that country. Why do you not understand that runescape is a game, and these laws govern real life trade. The money in my bank is real, the money in my runescape bank is pixels that is stored in a database somewhere.

 

if gold coins are pixels, then $100 dollar bills are just paper

 

 

 

actually, people actually work hard for every single gold coin, whereas in real life they just appear out of thin air from the people that print the money, and then give their fake paper to the averange people

 

 

 

and in truth, most money in real life is stored "virtualy" in some database. That means it's not real money? (yes, money that is stored virtualy but doesn't exist in real form such as paper)

$100 bills are just paper, however that paper fuels the needs of humans(food, shelter, entertainment(yes, people would go crazy without it)). And most people work hard for the money they earn. And the government hardly prints new money without destroying old. The US for example borrows it from other countries. The reason there is a difference between a sticky note and a $100 is people have faith in their money. The believe it's worth something. And other people have that same belief.

 

 

 

Runescape, on the other hand, is a flipping game, which is a concept you seem to find hard to grasp. Yes, it's a grinding game, that some people treat as work, but it is a game, none the less. If you fall into this catagory, then I'm sorry that you chose to let fantasy take over your reality.

That virtual pixel also fuels my need for runes to play cw, armor to monster hunt, etc etc. Runescape is like every other MMORPG. You play a role in a fantasy world. That world is modeled after the real world because it is how humanity it self operates. So why shouldn't it be as realistic as possible?

Sorry to burst your bubble but, fantasy =/= reality. There's a clear difference. Runescape is just a game, governed by Jagex's in-game laws, not by real world laws.

Let the merchanters make their money I say. Doesn't stop me from enjoying runescape.

[The_Fray]

My solution is then to make all clan chat based merchanting a punishable offence. Most of these merchanting clans make money by advertising to people to come to their cc and then getting them to buy an item hence driving said price upwards. If this were to be a punishable offence, there would be no way for the clan leaders to tell the general public which item they are currently merchanting.

So what you're saying is: Jagex screwed everything up by adding the GE, just as they've been messing everything up by changing it for years... and you want them to change it, because you think they have the capacity to make it better? Good Luck.

 

 

 

There are a lot of really smart people with really smart economical ideas on this forum. A lot of the ideas I've read seem to combat the idea of merchant clans really well. But what I don't think anyone realizes is that we have no more freedom to give after this. Some people are taking this way too seriously. We've already given up so much just to get rid of RWT, and that's great. But now we have all these limitations that we have to deal with.

 

 

 

The current GE offers convenience in exchange for free trade. The fact is, we have to live (and have lived) with some of these problems. There was always price manipulation, the GE just makes it easier to do on large scale.

 

 

 

And here is another question for everyone: Why do i have to be told how many sets of Barrows Armour I can have? And if there's a limit of 10, and I have 10, does that mean i can't receive any more doing barrows?
