D pick in limbo...

[Jesus_Status]

I lent my brother my d pick for 24 hours, after 12 he decided he was done minning and discarded it thinking it would give it back to me. But when i went to check my return box it still says i have to wait 12 hours to get my pick back. Is this normal or some sort of glitch?

It's normal, if you lend it for 24 hours, it will be lent for 24 hours.

[Dax]

Aye, the man speaks the truth. It'll sit away, waiting until that 24 is reached, then you'll be able to get it.

It's normal, if you lend it for 24 hours, it will be lent for 24 hours.

 

Thank you....thats just [bleep]ing stupid if they return it, it should be returned :wall:

[Sy_Accursed]

It was to do with a bug.

When system first came out via dying and stuff with instant returns items got duped.

I don't think it's stupid, the lending system is flexible enough to allow the two of you work out the best scenario for the both of you(until logout and x amount of hours up to 24), lending for 24 hours is just lazy and being punished for it isn't anything unusual.

[Jesus_Status]

I don't see how it's being lazy....My brother asked me to buy a D pick and lend it to him for 24 hour, said he was going for an all nighter to get to 90 minning....he burnt out after 12 straight hours of minning and tryed to give my pick back not knowing i wouldn't recieve it. And the lend system has been out for how long now and jagex hasn't fixed something as small yet annoying as this :wall:

[Sy_Accursed]

It doesn't need fixing.

 

You lent it for 24 hours, therefore you didn't plan to use it for 24 hours.

 

So in what way does not having it for 24 hours effect you?

[Raisedbyapes]

I agree that there should be a option to give it back. IMO jagex is lazy....

[Sir_Squab]

I agree that there should be a option to give it back. IMO jagex is lazy....

 

That's what the "until log out" option is for?

 

You lend it for 24 hours, you don't get to use it for 24 hours.

As it has been stated, there were bugs due to that.

[Dexek]

If you two live in the same household it might be best just to lend it for short amounts of time, as it is likely you could lend it once again without much trouble.

Bugs can be fixed.

This was the bug fix.

 

The bug was allowing items to return before allotted time was up meant dying and thus dropping an item triggered its return, while not deleting the original as it just got dropped

[Raisedbyapes]

ummm now you are getting off track the topic is getting back stuff here.

[Jesus_Status]

To me it just seems that it could easily be fixed, there is no reason why the game should keep the item in limbo if the other player has opted to return it early. And the reason i lent it for 24 hours was because i was under the assumption that it could be returned to me at any time. But you know what they say when you assume =D

[Raisedbyapes]

I agree you keep on death. And if you want to return right click return to owner. :thumbsup:

I think you guys seriously underestimate jagex'es ability to fix something that isn't broken to make it much worse. I think the intelligent approach that we have now is completely fine and good enough to satisfy 99% of people- if you want to be lazy and lend for a timeframe that you aren't actually prepared to lend then it's your choice, this could have easily been a nonproplem if you were more knowledgeable and your brother could have estimated how long he needed the item(as i doubt he planned a full day of mining), and if your ignorance coupled with your/your brothers misconception of ability has put you to limbo, atleast you have learned a valuable lesson of how to do things the right way.

Just because something "works" doesn't mean that it's right. If you want to pick your nose you can probably use the big toe on your left foot to do it, but that doesn't mean that it's the optimal solution

 

If you lent out something, and the other person is done with it, you should get it back. That's just obvious. Sure, you can construct an argument whereby it isn't absolutely necessary that it works that way, but it's just silly to put down someone who actually wants the system to work properly.

Techincally it is doing exactly what it says on the tin so stop bashing Jagex when, for once, they have created something which is doing exactly what it is meant to do.

[Great_one]

he could have just used it on you and as far as i know you get it back in your invent then

Lend until logout/lend every 1-24 hours is a possibility, so if they are lazy and lend for the maximum amount of time not even considering they might not need it that long is their problem. If you aren't flexible with the system then the system isn't flexible with you. The nose picking analogy was the worst i've ever read on these boards, i have no idea how you came up with that....

[Aiel]

that only works for until logout

[Everyonedies]

It does seem odd that if the person being lent the item wanted to give back the item back early they cant.... It would seem a simple option with the banker to give back lent item would solve the problem. Leave the whole dying, dropping, high ach or any other way to get rid of the item as is.
