I'm tired of all this stupid stuff, like the climbing boots update and the shark brew update.

I agree. I suppose it fits some sort of agenda that Jagex has (making slayer a little more useful and debugging, respectively to your two examples), but they aren't very popular with their approach.

Agreed. This is also why people shouldn't write uneducated suggestion threads.

Well, for one thing, with the shark/brew update, someone, ahem, DID complain about it. Actually. Not even lying.

 

With the millions of people who play RS, someone always complains about everything imo. Jagex stated that they changed the shark/brew thing because someone sent Jagex that information in the Bug Report Centre or whatever.

 

As for the climbing boots, if Jagex keeps the original boots, with the original price, I don't see any problem with a more expensive, better boot. So long as it doesn't make rune/dragon/bandos boots obsolete.

 

Oh, and....1.4! Ish.

they arent any better, there the same as the old boots but they cost 35,000x the price.

wha...? that made no sense.

It's not because "no one" complains about it that it doesn't need fixing...

 

The fact that players were using dirt cheap boots to pvp meant something was wrong. They messed up with the alching price in the fix, but all in all, it was a good fix.

It wasn't a fix, they handed out 300b selectively. Climbing boots have been around very nearly since the start of rs2- 6 years or so, and now is the time to pull this? and good fix? you must be living on some other planet.

 

For your information, the wrong that jagex saw in this was that people sold 2 gp boots for 60k as an opportunity cost, thus, as a ''good'' fix they made sure noone would ever use those boots anywhere ever again. good fix my ...

dont you just love people who blindly support jagex?

Well, seeing as they are doing this, then i might just go buy a bunch of the only other type of boot that is strangly underpriced, dispite its rather unusual stats. Good luck finding it, im gonna wait till it goes up 6000x :D

Meh, doesnt affect me. :arrow:

Leaping to the defense of wealthy game companies who dont know or care about you.

Got to say I agree with this a bit. Trying to "improve" features that work well already just seems a bit senseless.

Behind the Scenes - June

100,000 members have rioted and/or quit in the past week due to climbing boots update so we are shutting RuneScape down

totally agree with u

Meh, doesnt affect me. :arrow:

 

So you never use the G/E or trade with other players or anything like that? If you're a real D.I.Y. player, then respect.

Well the thing that makes me confused about this is why this update was made. None of the Mod Mark's excuses were exactly logical.

 

1. "There are always thousands of account trying to sell them on the G.E and very few selling them" - Now how about Party Hats?

2. "They also reflect the market price of other strength-boosting equippment" - Amulet of strenght = 3.5K, Black spiky gaunts = 3K, Addy boots = 5,7K (Didnt take rfd gloves here because they are not tradeable)

3. "tiny number of accounts had over 1000 of thse boots -- realisitacly these account have always had the potential to make that sort of cash from the boots (based on what we know, players were trading them outside G.E), we have just made them easier to do so" - Now tell me how would you turn 1K climbing boots into 75M or 45M without junk before this update?

 

I bet Mark told his buddies to stock up climbers before this update. :thumbup:

I support. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Meh, doesnt affect me. :arrow:

You just hit the nail in the head. Except I sell almost evrything.

If you had coins then it did affect you, because they are now worth less.

Well maybe it did affect me, but the rate at which it did is very, very low.

Coins aren't worth less. Why do people with no knowledge of economics make stupid comments like this. The only time a currency can decrease in price is in a fiat money system such as we have in the U.S. where 1 US dollar is supposed to be backed up by 1 dollar worth of gold, but instead we print more than one dollar for each dollar worth of gold causing it to lose value. In Runescape each gold piece holds its value independently from every other gold piece out there, you having more money doesn't make my money worth less. It may cause changes in prices of items but they are going to be strictly on a supply and demand curve (outside of price manipulation and JAGEX interference such as trade limits and the 5% plus or minus caps.).

 

On a side note, stop complaining. The update isn't worth ranting about besides the fact that it was a waste of time. Not ONE of the people ranting would be ranting if they were one of the kids who had 1 k + boots stockpiled for fun. So a bunch of kids got an early christmas in runescape, get over it.

I agree, Jagex seems to have a problem with 'fixing' things that aren't in need of fixing.

Well ok, the supply of coins is HIGHER, The demand for COINS is lower, and the amount of items you can buy for those coins can now buy is LOWER. All in all, saying all this is about the same as saying that coins are now worth less, just without the hassle of writing 3 seperate sentances. Thus your nitpicking here is just pointless, and the over-educated approach(at least for what concerns rs economy) is stupid here. If coins were worth less, you'd be able to buy less with them, if there was a new large supply of coins into the game you'd also be able to buy less with your coins, so for this example, they both mean the same thing for everyone, since rs gold actually can't ever be devalued in the sence real world currency is.
