Advanced Trade

[King2004]

Heya mates,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the world of runescape is ruled by a lot of great people, unfortunately its almost like RL, there are too much bad ones amoung the biggest players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the moment these players seem to overaffect the market of runescape, a lot of people get scammed, do really unfair trades or are affected by lies (about prices for instance) of other players. This is something which cant be good at all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore it may be a cool thing to start a cooperation of people who have set prices. In that way people dont get lost in bad trades and people can easily sell their stuff since they never ask a too high price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It could be interesting to gather as much as possible people to join this cooperation, in the begin it will probably be a hard thing to find the perfect prices for items but on the longterm people will definately be treated well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course there can be such things as high-load-shortings or some just higher prices because of and extra effort made. Therefore the set prices are MAX prices only, theyre the average worth of an item. But Cooperationmembers can't pass this border. And to make sure people dont get robbed by low-wage-buyers you can't trade items for a price below the 50% of the MAXprice. Of course it is allowed to trade items for free but that has nothing to do with trade, its just goodwill...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These prices will (at least in the begin) only affect home-made items, in that way we dont have to deal with big price changes of for instance Mauls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The prices are always set in cooperation of the other joiners, and if necesairy these prices can also be changed later on. For instance when there turns out to be a new use for coal we can increase the price level of coals to make sure the miners aren't being ruined.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But a cooperation also brings problems, it can be hard to get everything clear and to get all trade going well. To solve this problem there are several ways out:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* There should be a ban-option

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When people are going over the tops of the trade margins or when they are scamming other members of the cooperation it should be possible to warn these people and when they are reported again there should be a ban-option to get rid of these pains. The Cooperation will work with a list of banned people so they get ignored in trade with people of the cooperation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* There should be a forum departement

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To communicate well and to make sure all users can trade easily together there should be a forum-departement to deal with all trades and other important things to talk about. I would sincerely ask Tip.it to make a small forumpart where members of the Cooperation can join there trade-businessmates

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* And most important, people who join should enter their speciality

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To get a great trade-system it will be usefull to add your speciality (runescpae skill) for instance when you are a great fletcher you can make sure every1 knows about that, when a members of the cooperation needs a bow or arrows he can refer to your name when his call for the needed items isnt answered.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need 3k coal, but I asked it at the forums and nobody replied on my request. Then I look through the list of members of the cooperation to find out wheter there are some good miners available to work for me. I offer my target a contract for the 3k coal at 95% of the maxprice (for instance), and he can decide wheter hes going to work for me or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All contracts offered are being shown in a topic as well, it gets a good view of what players are available and what players are at work for some1 else at the moment. You can also find out who work for big money and what players work for smaller wages and of course what loads they accept.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the contract is not accepted it should also be displayed in the topic, then you see wheter a player has a border on for instance the quantity or the price of the job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope Tip.it will help by providing a forum-departement and of course I also hope to see a lot of people joining the cooperation! To make sure its fair to tip.it we will name it something like the T(rade)-for-I(nteresting)P(rices).IT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cyah mates,

I"d go for that. but would f2p ppl be allowed, I mean most of us are f2p (I mean the whoke RS community)

 

 

 

I could do rune ess, I"m pretty good at it.

[evildestruction]

nice idea's even if im not joining i got plenty to do and i believe i need to get rid of a advertisement so evil, so horrible, that it kicks me off game!!

 

 

 

or laggs me off game!! lol, if i would ever join im good in mining lol. and again good idea lol.

[timmay929]

Interesting... I doubt think something like this will ever come out. It probably could help a lot of people.

[Zonorhc]

It would really rely on member co-operation, and that's something that Runescape lacks for the most part. There will be people who are in it just to push the prices up and make a quick buck.

[ValaraZ]

i like this idea, should the members of the co-operation have their "own" server like #2 for p2p and #1 for f2p has now?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i would love to just buy quickly what i need, like logs, in bunches, not in small amounts.

[banditx31]

Probably not gonna happen but interesting and (should be)effective way.

[Barihawk]

It would be nice, but it would have to regulate prices very well. In order to make this kind of organization succeed, you would need cooperation from banks, and you cant really do that in Runescape.

[King2004]

I think some of you are a little pessimistic when it comes to realization of the idea, why wouldn't we try to set up a new way of trading? It may be revolutionairy and maybe its a little too far fetched but we can at least set some steps forward to the better level of trading around runescape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ValaraZ, if you mean something like the members all log into 1 specific world of runescape that will be good to think about. It shouldn't be prohibited to log into another world but it can be cool to settle for a certain regular-world to make sure people know where to go when they want to trade with some other members, nice idea!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I think we can at least start to work together from now on, if the Tip.it crew would help a little by allowing us to set up a forum-departement (or if they disagree I can set up a private forum, but then we wont be in name of Tip.it of course) we can try to find out what we are going to work like and maybe its going to be a succes, if not we have lost nothing thats the great thing of innovation :)
