Had the offer not filled, he would have had to pay 6.5b. Instead, he got it for 2.1b. He profited 4.4b.

However, if he would have never paid 6.5b for it because he only valued it at 2.1b, he gained nothing and lost nothing.

His profit is equal to the most he would have paid minus the price he paid.

We really aught to stop discussing if he profited or not. It is like discussing "why". All parties are technically right but they still disagree

Even if it's just for show, I'm glad Jagex got this many people. There must be upwards of 100b removed from the game because of this though.

you know that's a good point. I wonder if this will have a big effect on the economy...I know in a way it will I just wonder how substantial and how quick we will or if we will notice it.

Most of the time, we won't notice a lot of the missing stuff, because it wasn't circulating.. If the items are not circulating they are "effectively" removed already..

 

I don't think the loss of GP will have a significant impact, but it could have an impact via people theorizing what will happen.

Drop in the ocean.

any idea how many crackers came back into the game through the ge like this, and will it lower the street price of them since all of these people got them for so cheap?

As said before, the price on crackers will almost definitely rise as the supply has completely dropped off. Md3w was virtually the market for crackers and now that he is gone, there is hardly anyone trading. Most people buy crackers to complete sets, so when those people buy them, it is essentially removing them from the game (drying up supply even more).

Untill they are banned / need the cash to gather new armour/weaponry. (Like first week after nex).

I dont want to be blamed for starting a false rumor but I thought Jagex has been adding banned rares back to the GE

 

They've done this before but I'm unsure whether this is procedure now or just a rarity(perhaps only in cases where perm ban actually means perm or only when they wipe banks).

That comes from a jagex mod post a while back when they said essentially "we have methods to ensure the number of discontinued items remains constant" in a thread discussing banned accounts and rares on the rsof. I'll look for it once I get home but it is likely gone.

They did definitely post that, I read it too. The point with druidic being that although it isn't technically discontinued, it is rare enough to require the same treatment.

Baudelaire - (2491 total)

 

lol

 

Finaly Blow is banned as well... (dungeoneering leech FC)

Love the way HLF is jumping on this. *eats popcorn*

Haha

 

I'm not really surprised that more and more members for dg selling fcs are banned

 

Also, DGS... Luol Deng is like the 5th person to get banned from there. The first 4 came from the ban on christmas day.

200m dg xp wiped out, just like that.

Pretty bad rep for a clan like DGS

 

DGS never had a good rep anyways.

Luol Deng and Redbatt are the same person. The only person banned in the Christmas sweep was Redbatt.

LOL EE is under alot of scrutiny and hunts.

Dj Birdicus (Atticusbird) was unbanned earlier today, there was apparently a mistake.

Didn't md3w have like 10-11 crackers?

dont banned accounts rares just go into ge mid price or something?

Didn't md3w have like 10-11 crackers?

at some point he did, he sold most of his rares before getting banned

dont banned accounts rares just go into ge mid price or something?

yes they do

 

Those who had offers for a blue, white, and a cracker for months at max price (2147m ge price, when their street price is 2x+ that amount), got lucky when those rares from banned accounts got placed back onto the ge

I'd like to know what made you state that GvD was using a bot/illegal AHK. Or are you just making wild guesses for the pure sake of calling high level players out.

AHK can sometimes be flagged if it's not randomized, no? I took it to mean that he was using AHK but not that he was using 'illegal' scripts.

W48 knows all ok, but I'll guess (hopefully) he had seen this which GvD posted in the 200m AS thread and 'assumed' Jagex to be #1

20.

Bingo. Even if you're using legal scripts, being 1:1, if your script constantly clicks the exact same coordinate or color - it raises a flag. After-all, they can't tell if you're sitting behind your monitor actually pressing the button. All they see is that after moving your mouse you've managed to click exactly 250,400 and then 800,650, in the exact same number of ticks, over two hundred times without flaw.

 

It does sound bad to say, but even legal scripts must be made undetectable.. Which is easy enough. :P.

 

The problem with AHK is that it's so easy to learn and so appealing. With no programming knowledge you can make it loop perfect clicks and play your game for you - "illegally" of not. People don't think that, even though their script is legal, that'll it'll be flagged for those reasons above.

I actually want a response from that account. He says he is using 'another macro'. What did he use the first macro for?

So with my thoughts of Jagex and their own rules of should not do's, we have SOF a form of gambling which is ban-able in game and yet they encourage participation with wheeling and dealing extraordinaire and a game of chance, being one of their most obvious. I mean every time you log into Runescape, your greeted with the latest advertisement of whats on the wheel. But then again, that too is a matter of interpretation isn't it?

 

"Because rules are for players"

If you look *really* closely, you'll notice the rule is for player-run games of chances, not for *all* games of chance.

 

If you read my post, you would have hopefully seen I was making an interpretation of those rules... and to be blunt, it really makes no difference if the rule says player-run games of chance and not for 'all' games of chance does it, gambling in or using an outside source on Runescape is ban-able so why have SOF. But then again, I suppose if your the boss you can make one rule for the masses and it does not apply to yourself, bit hypocritical don't you think?

Your point being?

They don't want people doing player-run games of chances because scamming became much too common (Probably not the only reason tbh.)

You don't get scammed by using the SoF.

 

 

Yes that is true but at the same time, its Jagex taking advantage of something they have seen in the game to make more profit off the player, scams still happen outside of that part of the game so I find that point irrelevant..... that's the hypocritical part and as for rules etc... I agree, botters should be banned same with rwtraders.
