Nov. 20th - Dueling arena changes read it on www.runescape.com

Is this the end of the RS economy? Thousands of members have quit. Thousands of ranters on the forums, and rares dropping as much as 80M.

Discuss please on what you think.

My friend has a santa and he lost about 5m in 4 hours, so he is trying to sell asap.

More to Come…

You mean they made it so you need to use the big place to stake over 3.5k?

Also,

"The gp value of any item wagered in a staked duel is defined by the 'player value'. This 'player value' of an item will change according to any market fluctuations once the Grand Exchange has been introduced."

seems to mean the value of items is decided by jagex :(

I lol'd at that. Jagex is starting to be a little bit pathetic about macroers and gold sellers… And they just ruined one of the best things in the whole game? I don't really know, never actually bothered to duel :p

I have one word for you … obsessed - the Gowers are OBSESSED with the Runescape economy because they have been unable to control it. The Gowers are OBSESSED with cheating because they have been unable to control it. They will knowingly destroy legitimate players' gaming experience to find ways to control what they have been unable to control.

The upside to this is that they have done this consistently over the last what, 7 years, and like the rise of man .. Runescape players have adapted and overcame :)

people god damn! (not you guys=p) (i mean the 500k rs players, understand the ecomeny!!), this is a damn selling frenzy, it's only going to get worse till people figure it out.
take this chance though buy every last rare you can if their geting that cheap, they'll go back up.
cause the prices is droping 2-3m people get afrade and cut their loss and sell, then when enough people do that the price gets cheaper, and more people sell and so on.
but it'll get fixxed in the next 1-2week, i've seen this selling frenzy before, just like on the REAL LIFE stock market

(sorry if i was rude).

I told you guys before: they switched to governement controlled economy, the communistic model. The signs where evident by their latest stock changes. The grand exchange will have, as I presume, a fixed (bottom) price for all goods.

Yeah this update is bull. With the number of legits are complaining about this update I think they will tweak this system like they did with the assist system
