It's been proven over time that Jagex absolutely hates making bank-organization easy for us. Even the bank tab update was self-defeating because of major tab/drag/drop lag. It takes twice as long to arrange things in your bank then it did before. The only real useful thing that came of it was the search option. On top of that, multiple place-holder tricks that are completely harmless have been fixed(God books, diary items, ect). It's not like jagex is making pvp more "balanced" by not letting players have stocks of god books and ardy capes in their bank, they're just making it harder and more annoying(and essentially not worth it) to PK with them while they would realistically have minimal affect.

 

Why couldn't they just charge a 1K fee for allowing us to get multiples of certain items(Ectophiles, rings of kinship, ect)? Heck, I'd pay 100k for each of those items for just a placeholder.

 

Or better yet, why couldn't they just let us lock items into place? I know there was a bank update suggestion thread a few years back on here that nailed the idea head on with placeholders and such.

 

It seems like such a simple idea that would make every-day scaping' so much easier. So why haven't they done it?

Because they're JaGex. That's why. The bank is broken, so they aren't going to fix it. They target things that work perfectly fine, don't cha know?

People lose items on totally unrelated issues such as exiting the Mobilising Armies tutorial. Just imagine how much would be lost if they started tampering with our banks.
