Pro's and Con's will be added as the discussion 'advances'.
Let's see how we can use this to our advantage. ;)

Discuss!

well a good thing is that our macroed goods will be worth alot more =P

Yes a huge advance forward. Even though i suggested a runescape lotterty :p

I don't think this will help autoing or the transfering of autoed goods much. The limit to what price you can sell/buy for makes it impossible to get money/goods from an autoer to your main. So for autoers, the only good thing I can think of is easier selling the autoed goods after you have them all in one place.

If you're a legit player, then theres tons of benefits. You don't have to meet players, it's almost impossible to get scammed, and you can buy/sell very quickly. If you play f2p, you love this b/c its as good as the forums and better. But, I've noticed (while trying this thing out) that it is almost impossible to sell things for the 'average' and 'maximum' prices that Jagex set. There is almost always somebody selling for the lowest, therefore there's no point for the buyers to offer more, just offer the lowest and you'll get it in a few minutes if not a few seconds…

I think this update is really annoying. I think prices are going to plummet.

The only way to buy that even makes sense is to pay or sell for the lowest possible amount.

If you want to buy 10k iron ore for 100 gp each, you have to put in 1 mil right then. Then the ore is deposited into your collection box. A lot of that ore was probably being sold for 95 each. I'm sure that Jagex isn't giving the seller that extra money, it just goes poof. It won't take long for people to realize this, and people will only offer the lowest price.

And as Jagex said, if sales are trending to the lower end, the range will shift that direction. It seems like an inevitable spiral down for prices on pretty much everything macro-able.

They've already realized it…. :( I've been selling some stuff from my bank, and out of about 10 things, I sold about 5 of them in just a few minutes at the lowest price which I was content with, but the other things remain unsold, as I don't like the lowest price. Maybe thsi will change as the Grand Exchange becomes a bit less popular, but that's unlikely.

They return your money you paid too much.

Great exchange is Great for buying. For selling it sucks, unless you got some strange goods (like zammy wines stuff that only a few people actually sell).

people keep saying that prices may plumit but i dont realy mind because today i have sold 4.5k p essens and 2k iron ore for still a good price.
It may not be the best but both had sold in 5 minits.

i estimate a 5-10% drop in prices for things like lobys essens bow strings and the rest.

Prices will either be stable or go down (a lot). In my opinion this is just a act from runescape to remove some money out of the game, make it worth more..

so far I like it but I am just getting back into macros so I dunno how good it will be, kinda sucks tho cus no one wants to buy outside of that any more (and the 5% on prices, I used to double my money on ess)

Now I can sell my Yews without having to move them to a banker then selling ^_^ woot.

Sell all your goods today for the lowest possible price. Prices will drop dramatically! The only thing thats really worth something is rs-gp! I tested with 14k Steel bars. I set the price to middle (630 ea), and left it for 4 hours. No buyers! I set the price to lowest (608 ea) and *boom* sold! Same thing happened with 3k cut sapphires. Hyperiinflation is about to take place. Sell, sell, sell!

Not sure what will happen to santa's and other rares, but I am pretty confident they will drop too.

I hope you're wrong Fakawi!
but i think jagex thinks about his moves?

edit: santa dropped 2mill since the update.. damn..

WAIT!! Did they update or something?? Im out of the loop at school and cant get on…:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Green mask is stable, dunno bout the other rares.
edit:ARGH!! Black G is now 200k o.O :eek:

Rare's will go up, eventually… They can't be remade (only if runescape is becoming gay). All the other goods will probably drop like hell.. :(

That means rares will become rarer, and 1000 times as hard to buy…

Stupid Jagex! People are buying yews (like auto spammign and trading old fashionend way) for 400 go each yew log! :O

I don't like the setup AT ALL. It should be set up where you can actually see each individuals offers, not put in a number and buy who has it at that prices… Hate it hate it hate it.

WoWs AH >>>>>> Grand Exchange

p.s.
Way to destroy the game economy, imo

Dang well there goes 1.5m down the drain off my guthans…

prepare for a command economy form now on…. they have decided against the current, previous, price mechanism… letting players set their own prices according to demand and supply… but does this new thing mean that we cant trade with players on to one?? anymore??? cos if they take that option away then yes runescape just turned communist….

spaz

lmao, jagex doesnt no there prices very well xD,
well atleast u can put ur ores or w/e in there once u get 1k or sumthin, wait for ppl to buy it while u mine :p

mabye next thing theyll do is make xp tradeable xD

i think if all the prices are gonna drop… sell all you items… and then you will have rsgp… the rice of gold cant drop unless the items rise… in my opinion its gonna lead to a huge economy crash and rsgp to us dollar ratio will go throught the roof… so if you keep your rsgp youll be safe… i think this is what jagex intended to do to try and keep people from real world item trading… they are persuading people to buy tons of stuff and wait for the price to raise… but the prices will drop and everyone will lose money so what i would do is sell all your stuff now before it drops even more

Man, thank God I didn't become a member a few days ago and bought all kinds of expensive member stuff a few days before the exchange :eek:

What Fawki said happened to me too, cept I only had 9k steel bars and 300 saphs, + some addy (g) and (t) and more gems

I don't get the theory of the rs gp becoming more valuable. If there is a minimum price to buy/sell items and you CAN'T sell/buy for less than that minumum price then how exactly will the prices of items plummet? Can someone explain this to me.

Edit: everyone is buying and selling for the minimum price right now… so as long as jagex doesn't change the price ranges then won't all items throughout rs have a firm price?

well they will… they will then change the current min price to become the default price.. and this would keep goin until either one of two things happen
1. the prices plummet soo bad that items become worthless (not likely to go that far but things should might will get bad)
2. hyper-hyper-hyper inflation causing the goods prices to go back up and up until its ridiculous and no one buys a thing causing the prices to comeback down
basically sell sell sell now y u can.. then later on when things become v v v v v v cheap buy more things at a low price and either wait till the recession is gone and the boom happens, recession is where everything is proper cheap and boom is the opposite, when in a boom sell all u have cos u wail make the most amount of net profit…

lol… stock market is easy we learned about it in the 6th grade…


i g2g do my homework ill talk more later

.. lol fine but in the UK (or jst me) we dont even go near this sort of thing…jst standard maths sci blah blah.. thats all extra learning cos im that cool…

spaz

Economy is now completely stable in all productive skills…
Nuff said.
Currently, autoing is beautiful though.
No one is around, they're all freaking out.

:confused: rele??? i dont think it is stable jst yet… there still controversy about the prices and the damn small 5% thing…but then again i havent actually been on runescape yet..lol

spaz

lol, they allready shut it down for a while

fail… is all i can say… do they ever learn..?/

spaz

It's back btw

at least it didnt take long.. and they knew how to fix something…Q for u all

wat did they think they were goin to acomplish with this update.. yer ok its a lot easier to trade stuff but with the 5% thing and only 2 items thing.. surely they could see some sort of price crash or something???

spaz

I think rares will be the same. I really like this update, next comes summoning.

i only like the fact that selling 27k iron ore and 10k coal has never been easier…. otherwise the price drops (instant) on rares and stuff is huge.. like santas dropping like 10 mill since the hyp started… crazy
spaz

if this is anything like the market system in Anarchy online im looking forward to it…i havnt actually checked it out tho…i hope they didnt half ass it

i miss the good old like 3 years ago where the updates where cool and it was almost impossible to get all the random events and everyone i knew just played for fun….

The 2 Items thing (IMO) was just another thing to get people to buy membership.

I personally thought it was a good thing until I started reading this and it seams all of you might be right in some of the things you are saying.

ahh the randoms… getting full mime was a good achievemnt… now ur lucky not to get it at all….

Huh? They increased randoms?

sure hoping that they see the error in their ways soon and in the least adjust the 5% limit, no more doubling my money on ess (noobs sell cheap, I sell high!)

might be good once they work it out, and mass selling is so much easier now, no waiting and just add in every couple loads

ummmmm… im not a member can any1 find the average price of flax and bowstrings for me


hmmmmm… no1 here can? out of 7 people….

I'm getting on my main so I will tell you once I get there…

k thx i also thought this was funny….. http://www.runescape.com/

lol, I would have helped but I dont have members either :( and nowhere near to check

as for the site, mainly this part…

the game we ourselves would want to play (i.e. our target audience is essentially ourselves, and people like us).

I have never met someone who likes to play games that they keep screwing up :P

k thx i also thought this was funny….. http://www.runescape.com/

[offtopic]I lol'ed at the last sentence of that… I'm not a fan of movies about war or w/e, but I saw Lord of the Rings when I was about 9 -.- [/offtopic]

all i know is i bought 150k willows to get 99 fm for 12 gp each and now that thing says i can get minimum of 25 ea :P just 2xed my profit

yeah i thoguht the whole thing sounded funny especially the part people like them…

lol, congratz r3d, did you buy before the change then?? or are they updating prices??

[offtopic]I wish I had the time to build my own game like rs, started on a 2d tile rpg (think pokemon graphics with rs skills and stuff) but got bored because there is so much to do on it! mine would work tho and I would have users vote on things on a beta server[/offtopic]

Sorry, laggy comp and I had a couple things to do.
Flax is 79-90 middle price - 85

so im figuring bowstrings are twice as much thx nething

[SEMI-OFFTOPIC]*sigh* seeds are taking forever… Papaya was gone instantly, Yew took about 10 mins. The rest are still there… I made 400k in about 10 mins off items that normally would have been a pain in the ass to sell so so far I like this system although it does have its downfalls.[/SEMI-OFFTOPIC]

EDIT: These 2 prices seem a little high to me. I haven't played for awhile so idk are these normal prices now?

Ranarr seed - 28.5k ea (minimum)
Snap Seed - 36.5k ea (minimum)

not sure about those prices as I am f2p (sadly, anyone wanna gimme a members pin??)

and it does have some good things with the new system, hopefully jagex are working their somethings off to get this to be good for everyone :P

Smartzkid clears out all accounts

I can't blame them for trying to protect their economy, but to do that, they gotta stop the bots, not go communist.

yeah, but there is no way for them to stop the bots, every time there is a new random, there is a new random solver. I dont think it is so much the bots that is the problem, it is the n00bs that bot using lvl 3 default accounts, I saw a guy today, all level 3, all same clothes, even the names were the same with variation in one number. so I reported them all :P

I dont quite understand how they are protecting their economy with the 5% deal tho

[offtopic]nething… your from mo-town too? like in north carolina….[/offtopic]

Good- Way easyer to sell and buy things

Cons- Stuff i want to sell, sell for way cheaper!! I think everyone here agrees.
Only 6 Spots to sell and buy.

They need to have some guys fixing those and looking at the fourm prices. Because i can sell much more on fourms than at the Gen Exchange.

Ranarr seed - 28.5k ea (minimum)

DANG IT! I sold mine yesterday for 23k.. What is this?!?!

5% only really effects rares much…
for most things that is just a slight difference that some people may be picky over but the grand exchange saves so much time that I almost think it is worth it.

see, I hate the 5% because I used to buy rune ess for 15gp each and could sell for 30! now I lose 5gp on each, seeing as me and all my buddies used to resell ess like 10k a day, it adds up

I do like the speed tho, may need to get myself some members so I can sell more than two things at once tho :(

i thinks its way easier to buy stuff you want faster though. Yes people you lose some cash on ess and stuff but I like it.

i have to agree… once i get a couple flax pickers up and running it will help a lot besides the runescape stockmarket crash theore… i give jagex a thumbs up on this one… it was better that the infinite items at shop update… because i used to be a shop mechant and make like 3 mil in 2 days

This update can be helpful for making some money because of the price limit and the amount of supply that is now offered. You can buy for 5% under the price and then sell for 5% over the median price. By buying massive amount of supplies, a pretty hefty profit can be made.

Wow, the prices are great for sellers right now - almost 200gp each for coal! I agree that the economy will be ruined soon, but won't it fix itself in a few weeks? Soon GE prices will be so low that almost everyone will go back to bank trading. The people who keep using the GE will sell at higher prices, which will eventually bring prices back up to normal. This cycle might happen a couple times, but eventually everything will be fine. And besides the prices, I love the GE. If you sell for the lowest price, you can sell or buy most things instantly. Already sold all of my armor, and I'm ready to buy it back when the prices hit bottom.

hmmm well there goes my feather business. No one is even buying for the minimum of 4 gp each.

yeah i thought the feather business was already ruined when you can buy unlimited arrows from the shop

I hear you Buck.. I have up 50k feathers at 4 gp each, no one in buying -_-

From: buck cakes
hmmm well there goes my feather business. No one is even buying for the minimum of 4 gp each.

When I first saw the update I checked feathers, I put up 50 for 4gp and the sold instantly. But last time I logged in I saw some guy yelling that he had 100k up for sale. So now there are probably millions of feathers for sale, all for min price. It's a disaster. You'll have to keep them on for months to sell them, and you only have a few spots to sell with anyways!

This is the best thing to happen to buying, but selling is impossible…

It seems majority of items only sells at minimum, unless no one has place it up at minimum. (fat chance there)

its gonna get even better for buying and even worse for selling… the prices are gonna keep dropping and and when the prices are low enough… whoever has a lot of coins are gonna BUY BUY BUY as much as they can and then the prices will raise again leaving the people who began with tons of items wil be left with small amounts of gold… my recomendation is that you should sell all your stuff while you can for high but if your too late when the price drops keep the items until they raise back to the normal price or higher than when they where originally…


and in my opinion its already to late… 5-6 hours ago was the right time….

i dont think A LOT of ppl get this but u can put ur own price on there and search for a price!!!!!

and its an easier way to buy rsgp, say ur buyin 10m, put up there selling 2k feathers 5k ea, and blam ur seller goes there and "buys" ur feathers! :]

This will make selling macroed items alot easier (y)

but the problem is nobody want to buy for the high price

This is gonna be annoying in like a week when santas are 5m…

wow right when i get my marcos up and running again the prices drop good god. i think im just gona hoard all the macroed items and sell them when they are a good price again.

I thought there was a +- 5% seller price to the median of any particular item. I don't think the feather price on the GE is anywhere near 5k.

303k feathers :( 5 gp ea, I'm changing to 4 even though theirs no hope

hey guys help out. i have no idea wat i should do. should i sell my big bones and make around 2mil or keep em and raise my prayer from 40 to idk like 60ish? any ideas?

i really dont like it

HUGE pro. Yew cutters got an extreemly close place to bank now. And they can just add their yews to the grand exchange each time they want to bank.

i don't really like it, i rather preferred to buy items from players, then again i suppose that would be kind of annoying when your selling massive quantity's of things.

From: osmm
HUGE pro. Yew cutters got an extreemly close place to bank now. And they can just add their yews to the grand exchange each time they want to bank.

Can you add more yews to a sale or do you have to end it each time to add more.
When someone buys 100 yews, and there are 1000 for sale, do you think it gives them the first 100 that were posted? If that's the case then reposting them each time might be bad.

I don't know, I'm just guessing. Anyone know?

NOOooooooooo my main is f2p with member stuff on him
and with lots of stuff on him and the prices will go down and now i cant sell them :(

I like the update, instead of going to world 6-2 and seling bow strong just click a
button and sell all me bs for 170 ea :) Jagex fixed the prices to the normal street price like a whip starts from 1.318m to 1.450m.

Yeah I like this update saves heaps of time and will save you trying to out spam other people to sell shit.

Yes I noticed that too. I bet there is plenty more to auto with this new update.

there might be a few more ways not many cause there is only1 grand exchange.

Mmm i think ill be using this update to make a varrock palace yew cutter :) thanks for the info.

Also Varrock bank is much bigger now. Good for bank DTM's also.

Also, if they can add it to the GE, why can't we? We can also auto and put it up directly, right? Great money for us :rolleyes:

Bah! Iron ore just dropped from 95 gp minimum to 90!

Steel bars dropped from 608 to 577 minimum.

From: WT-Fakawi
Steel bars dropped from 608 to 577 minimum.

Luckily i've sold all my Raw Fish last night, it dropped by 5 GP… Most of the prices went down, except the rares. I think these are pretty stable..

Can somebody explain like how the system works?

Is it:

You go insert steel bars, for example 600gp ea…

You gtfo, and when somebody buys them you get some kind of message?
(the microwave sound 'd be cool :D )

First I thought they're copying WoW's AH, but in reality this thing is just gay and annoying.. Now everything will go down because nobody wants to buy anything for more than the lowest possible "street price".. Which should make the street price go down too, as stuff sells for 5% less.. I'm sure this has been stated many times before too, though :P

*sigh* Sometimes I just have to hate jagex for this kinda stuff.

F**KING FAGGEX! OMG -.-

They just ruined the idea of macroing iron.. or maybe when the prices go to 50gp/iron, i should buy like 20k of it, and then wait for the prices to go up(cos it's damn sure that it's gonna be fixed) and sell it for lots of geepee :D:D..

in the update info it said the store prices dropped along with the average prices at the grand exchange… so… eventually the price will go really low… so that mind runes are like 1 gp each… you spend all your money on them… and have tons since they have the buy x amount at the shop and when the prices stablize… mind runes will be like 15 each and you made a 1400% increase in your money… turning an ammount of money like 3mil into 45mil


and btw they dropped 3 gp in price yesterday

I have found that the general store prices have skyrocketed, and the sell price to be extremely different than the buyback price. The general store buys many items for a low price and than proceeds to sell these items at a ridiculously high amount, several times the normal price before the update.

yeah but the sotre prices arent much higher

umm…. lol? Howcome everyone on here is saying *When* Prices drop then they will buy all their stuff back. How do you know that jagex is stupid enough to drop the minimum prices of items? I doubt they are that dumb and I doubt that the prices of the Grand Exchange will change. But thats just my opinion.

Edit: I didn't bother reading the news announcement that jagex made… just read it now and don't even read what i wrote lol..

ummmmmm…. no offense and all but your wrong… the prices at the grand exchange have already dropped since yesterday… some items have already dropped 20% in price

Magic logs have gone up in price since yesterday. So I guess it is possible that prices wont JUST drop. Only time will tell though. I'm satisfied with this update. I used to really hate it, but now I've made peace with it.

i happy with it too… because even if prices crash… they will stable out again…

Well even if you cant add yews to the grand exchang thing each time, they still have a very close bank.

In the long run this is for the better, but it will take a while to settle out so I suggest you keep a fair sum of both cash and items around ;)

From: Trevor3443
I added a suggestion on the RS forums:





I think it explains itself

THAT is a good suggestion. Right now I feel like I HAVE to use one of those three preset prices, the average, low, and high buttons. Because that is what everyone else will use. I feel like it is pointless to type in a nice even number like 5000 when there is probably no one else who is going to do that.

rs has went communist with its prices IMO

pros: woot, no more freaking waiting to buy stuff

cons: *there goes the economy*

the update makes it easier to find things and buy, easy to sell things at bottom low prices but gives you no chance to bargain. i bet itll screw up the economy, world 1 will be empty, and noone will be able to bargain and get good trades like the good old days *sigh*

they made it so that the only way you can make money from now on is by sitting on the computers and staring at pixels for hours on end… then ther eis no fun which in my opinion will lead more people to botting… but they completely screwed up merchanting now…

I think that the Grand Exchange was a wonderful idea. Except.. I used to be a merchanter =/

Goodbye runescape economey

It's okay, but Jagex is now controlling the prices.

I think in the long run, it will suck. Right now, I'm loving it.

Just made 6 mil off of stuff I autoed XD

Put 50k Iron up for average price and it never sold.

Logged in the next day and popped 97k iron up for minimum price and it sold the second the post was confirmed.

The price range on iron ore has already dropped a day after the patch. I don't know about other items, but I agree that prices are going to plummet unless Jagex decides to ignore the economy trend at some point and force prices to stay at a certain level :(

I'm starting to think about it and I think this will be a great oppertunity to merchant.

I mean once the prices drop jagex is going to get a ton of complaints and it will be fixed somehow….probobly.

This is a little like the stock market now when the prices hit bottom buy as many coal, lobbies, sharks, iron, all those highley merchanted items.

Then when the prices start rising because of jagex the more money you spend the more you make, which makes a great oppertunity to merchant

I actually LOVE this update, it makes selling SO easy,
but if they drop the price for what people are selling for, that would suck, but right now selling macroed goods is just so easy,
I've made over a mil off the exchange…

I love it too (so far) :p It takes away the need for me to create Bankers .. now I don't have to worry about transferring items from my Girlies to Bankers to my Pure .. if I am selling 1463 raw salmon then I just plug em in and they get swooped up in a mass purchase :) can't complain.

Yes, I have made that post twice in here lol. But yeah no more bankers just a need to transfer money left over after buying supplies to your main.

I told u all the prices would crash like hell no one listened then but now we all talk :f:

From: Trevor3443
2 people could possible drop the price of any rare (or any item) if they worked together over MSN (or any other IM client), here is an example:

person1: "Hey, ill put a santa on the exchange for 18432837, and then you buy it for 18432837!!"
person2: "Wow, we can do that all day and drop the price because no one would ever guess to buy it at 18432837"


person1 and 2 continue this until the santa's price drops to 5M…

No.
You should read the knowledge base.
If you buy a item, you have to wait a certain time before you can sell it again.
Plus, the system doesn't work like that.
It someone offers higher than 18432837, he will buy it anyway.

It someone offers higher than 18432837, he will buy it anyway.

Do they buy it for 18432837 or the price they offered ? (Just a general question nothing to do with the santa hat thing)

There is always good and bad size of paper.. u cant merch good anymore :(

good new update… Finally something for those poor non members

it should be set up were you can set ur own price

and as narcle said see each individual offer!

Well.. i sold all my stuff about two days ago and I'm wondering when I should buy it all back. So far the exchange is still dropping in prices but I think that everything will even out really soon. Can someone suggest when I should buy my items back?

Dang, they've started dropping by a ton.

When do you guys think they'll start coming up again? Or will they continue to fall until they hit rock bottom and stay there unless Jagex does something…?

Then you could buy a bunch of santas at lets say… 20M, then use that method in reverse to raise the price way up by using rigged trades then sell all your santas at minimum sell value which would be like 30M (just an example)

Yeah i like the part about the super fast buying in the GE. HOwever, selling things is a total pain.

its so easy to get lobbies now :D

I think Jagex should remove the +/- 5% thing altogether. Lets see what it does…

Positives (for Jagex)

1) Stops Price Manipulation (They've never really seen it as a problem)
2) Stops trading between accounts (somewhat, but people do it anyway…)

Negatives

1) RS Market is failing
2) Many players are annoyed
3) Many players will quit (first the Duel Arena and now this…)

I think the Negatives outweigh the Positives. Price manipulation isn't a big deal, and people know other ways to trade between accounts.

Their are pros and cons with anything JaGeX puts in, at least I sold 303k feathers :).

its great for selling your auto goods ive already sold alot and dear i like it

you all are braking it ahhh… ess went form 30 each to 19 and it's going to keep dropping…. and feathers are going to be 1 each soon and logs are going to be very very low…. so stop setting it to lowest that way we can get our money back up…. if we keep setting it at highest we can make the price skyrocket… we own the market there for why don't we manipulate it into our favor…. the majority of items like logs and ess and ore well anything the can be macroed is sold by us therefor if we set the sells at the highest amount we can get the prices up….but thats only my thought…. all that hard work you had your macros do is becoming nutting but pocket change when it use to be mills… now lets turn the tables and make it to where we double are profits… see if we can make ess 60 each… then think of how much money you would make… and i don't want to hear that bs about that being to much… people will buy….

Thats a good idea but it will never work because every other retard in runescape will never think of this.

yes well like i said we are the majority and thats what the system goes by….
ether way it will effect it to are favor even if it's only 5gp that is a big difference i mean ess was 30 each now it's 19 each ahh lame thats cause all you sold at lowest price…


edit: oh and just for the record that all happened in one day…

Lol we are not the majority of runescape..

From: awesom
Lol we are not the majority of runescape..

no, he is refering to the majority of people selling ess.. he wants people to collectively raise the price together, that way everyone can work as a team and get more profit

Hmm well I still don't think that is going to happen.

well.. I also don't think that we are the majority of people in rs selling items. Think about the amount of people in rs using other types of autos to get goods, not to mention all the legit players that get tons of items as well. We can not do this by ourselves. IMO we can only sit back and see what happens.

Hmm, is a Rune Pickaxehead supposed to cost more than a working Rune Pickaxe? I've sold all autoed goods in 1 second. Now I'm looking for a quick way to earn money in F2P. Any ideas? I've got overall great skills so Anything Goes*.

*Incidently a good song by Guns N' Roses.

Of course it shall be SCAR-able :D

-Knives

Well I would figure that people would try to sell for the highest price possible, however the case seems that a lot of people are selling goods at the lowest price. I would think that people are maximum profit-seeking people, but the price continues to steadily fall sadly.

Well it depends if you are autoing for selling your millions or using it on a main.

If you are selling the millions of rsgp like me its not looking so bright.

If you are just using it for playing ruescape nothing is really going to change because with the value of your macroed goods going down also is the items you are looking to buy so soon it will even out for you.

i dont like it that much it makes world 1 and 2 more empty harder to buy harder to sell and if you sell it there at The Grand Exchange! it will be lower prize so i hope we can fix somthing with the prizes there.

rs gp will be worth alot more. good for gold sellers. this is jagex trying to control the economy. they ass fucked ( sry for the language ), merchanting.

they dont want their economy going down the drain but it will eventually since the autoers can buy and sell so easily now.

Yeah, this feature makes getting rid of the autoing goods so much easier. NO suspicious transaction records!

The only reason why they added it was so that they could change the prices of items. It really sucks and it takes forever to actually sell something. So for now I wouldn't suggest using it.

I like the GX, but I can see how it will makes prices drop, but its a great tool to use when buying something u need.

Not really, technically they are secretly in charge. What if they make rune mysteries requier you have 20 att or 20 def? That would put a hold on autoers.

Iron is still dropping, like a rock. <Pun intended>

Minimum now around 80. Started out at 95.

Iron is still dropping, like a rock. <Pun intended>

Minimum now around 80. Started out at 95.

I just sold 2k iron ore earlier, I don't remember how mush for.

Hopefully they notice that some things are dieing and will need modifications.

I was thinking and i dont think it would work but hey its an idea,
So anyway could there be a way to make some sort of macro to automatically buy things at the lowest price and sell them high? the macro would have to run over a days time but if you had several running maybe you could actually turn a profit?

im sure that other ways of making some money would be much better… but … just an idea

But no one buys for a high price anymore. We wouldn't be making money at all.

Steel Bars are 555 now. Thats almost 10% less (608) at the start of the GE.

Wow…I used to always sell steel bars for 500-500 each :eek:

invest all ur gp to gold bars :) joking

It's a smart idea and does elliminate all the fuss of having to wait around selling things…but i see that as part of that challenge….pluss u would get a better price for things such as coal. BUT saying that obviously with the exchange now our wares for sale are open to a huge audience. It's a bit catch 22…because yes u can probably sell quicker and if u cn't sell quick u dn't have to worry u just leave it till someone wants it…but at the same time certain things are suffering in terms of the sale price! like i normally sold coal for 250gp ea now i get like 150-175 or summin. so i've moved onto mith!

i get 30,000 feathers a day from autoing, i put them on and the next day there all sold at 4ea

For the most part… I like it, but I have noticed some prices going down, which could be bad or good depending…

From: fucker
i get 30,000 feathers a day from autoing, i put them on and the next day there all sold at 4ea

:( I have had 150k feathers at 4gp each for like 3 days now still not sold.

This was, I have to admit, a pretty awesome update. It allowed me to sell those oddball things in my bank. I made 100k+ from cleaning out my bank. I'm not sure if it has ruined merchanting or not.

I cant beleave how low prices are getting, this must be what it felt like right before the stock market crash that started the depression…mmm, rs suffering a depression, now thats not going to happen, but it will be close.

Hah! That would be funny… I still have 'round 1m left in my bank (Its all legit) that I could buy stuff with. And I have good skills.

its seems ike the GE has made prices go down for ore, which is just about al i sell

some of the ore prices have gone up…. like gold ore which my little brother sells but he doesnt auto though

Ok this isnt good lol. Someone try searching for any dragon items such as a dragon med helm or platelegs. Does it show up as being an item? For me it said no matching items found. There is also no more barrows armor as well. Does anyone else have this same problem?

your probably not a member or in a nonmembers world

I think that the grand exchange was a bad part on the behalf of Jagex. Everyting is going down i price… No more merchanting…:(

Has anyone started buying again? Who thinks that the prices won't drop too much more on armors/weapons? I think I'm going to buy all my armor and stuff back pretty soon.

merchanting was already dead after they added the infinite amount thing a the shop… i think they got rid of it on purpose… they wanted everyone to work for what they wanted instead of just standing still and buying and selling stuff…

Wow this is awesome i made 10mill in 1 day

all u need to do is make some stuff and sell it while ur afk

this has got to be one of the stupider ideas that jagex has come up with

Some things are way underpriced (party hats) and some things are way overpriced. Anyways, now Jagex can control the economy like they want to.

The Grand Exchange, in my opinion, is the best made to RS2 this year! :)
(Got 2m off some old junk :]]]])

It's cool but the prices should be freely edited. :(

18 gp for a rune essence = WTF I got so freaking pissed off from this. Before this 25 was a low price that sold always. The prices are f*cked. AARGH… :mad: :mad: :mad:

*Takes an axe and runs to kill Grand Exchange Clerks*

i like the GE
it is great for me being an avid pker
if i die or run low on food or pots not only is is a convenyent place but it is very fast and sometimes cheap

After using it for a bit, I have to say I like it..It has its draw backs. But quests are so much easier now, I can just buy all the crap that I need for them

I haven't really run into any problems with the grand exchange.
And the reason the GE wasn't set up so you can choose who you can to buy from and set a price limit is because people would use it as a way to transfer crap loads of money.

example-

Player A is giving Player B 100Mil.
Player B (in the grand exchange) sells a feather for 100Mil.
Player A then buys this feather (since I doubt anyone would buy a feather for 100Mil), thus finishing the transaction.
Player A has given player B 100Mil and a new way of buying/selling/trading gold is created.

i bought ranrra 7k ea b4 the exchange and made them into ppots and never had time to sell the ppots now i go around and ppots are 5k ea because everyone in the exchange is sellign on the low side now u can eazily go to the exchange and buy ppots at 5k ea and i lost like 2 m because of that :(
just figured i should et everyone know
BOO EXCHANGE!!

I have yet to use it, My main just got perm-banned.

It seems to have its ups/downs.

I like this, it has made prices on raw goods go up = more gp from my autos

I love the Great Exchange.. so much easier to buy stuff, and i didnt merchant at all so it doesnt affect me

Not only does this make the low price of something constant but it almost sells instantly so im all for the grand exchange but it does make honast marketing harder… since typically people try to buy for the least ammount unless they are trying to get it fast…

i dont like the grand exchange cause the prices change bowstrings are down 40 gp :/ but its good for yew long makes

but its eazyer to sell!

what's the current price on yews? and santas? what were their highest (in the last year)

I think the system is OK, the biggest problem is you don't know current availability or prices. You could set your price to 5 gp and someone sells for 4 and you will never buy it, If they really wanted the system to be good, they would use your set price as a maximum price and then buy the lowest price available, if two people want the same thing, make them bid against each other and whoever has the biggest max price wins.

With that in place, it would be great if they allowed more player control over the prices and maybe even a current price range next to the item (IE selling from 1gc to 2000gc)

As it stands, if your Item is semi rare (IE not not traded a lot but not worth much) it is very hard to find it. at the right price, you just try and buy wizard robes :(

I think they got the prices a bit wrong, really good for buying! But not all that good for selling =[

From: tarajunky
I think this update is really annoying. I think prices are going to plummet.

The only way to buy that even makes sense is to pay or sell for the lowest possible amount.

If you want to buy 10k iron ore for 100 gp each, you have to put in 1 mil right then. Then the ore is deposited into your collection box. A lot of that ore was probably being sold for 95 each. I'm sure that Jagex isn't giving the seller that extra money, it just goes poof. It won't take long for people to realize this, and people will only offer the lowest price.

And as Jagex said, if sales are trending to the lower end, the range will shift that direction. It seems like an inevitable spiral down for prices on pretty much everything macro-able.

Actually it does give the seller the extra money… I put in a Guth Cloak just now for 600k and got 611k for it which is the current market price.


EDIT: I also just noticed you don't need a PIN to get into the exchange window or the Collection box. I know alot of people (including me) that when they log out they put everything in the bank because they have a PIN and if it is in the bank it is "safe(r)". If you have something in the GE that takes a while to sell/buy or if you put something up to sell/buy when you went to bed and someone hacked you, they could abort the transaction (or if it is already sold/bought) and go to the collection box and take your goods or money.
I think jagex need to add a bank PIN to the collection box of the GE.
My Pin saved me from losing about 20m about a week ago (forgot to take info out of a script I posted). All they got was 50k feathers that I didn't have in my bank. (I managed to auto that back + more in about 2 days).

its ok kind of messe up economy a lil though. A lot of things are in less demands, most stuff got cheaper for ex.: Full rune 160k-175 before now 140k-160k : ( And runes,ores,herbs etc. all gone down in price

The Grand Exchange was a let down for me.. Just purely because you can't see what players have put up for sale, and you can't sell prices at the price you want.

It also means Jagex can easily change the market price of items, which is worrying =P

I always hated standing around for ages competing with 50 other spammers to try and sell something so i like this :) And another useful thing is if you buy anything by mistake, you can go sell it for the same price, instead of paying 100k to the shop and selling it back to them for 100gp :o (So pretty much you can "borrow" things)

Whats strange though is that people buy junk..? Who would want to buy ashes, or cooked shrimp…?

Alot of people might want ashes or cooked shrimp for a quest or something.. Or they thought it was funny somehow.. but it is trading with like everyone in runescape and alot of them are retarded so never know..

unfortunately it will put merchanting at a standstill

the grand exchange is a good idea, but if you mine essence you just lost 10gp per ess, but the price for yews went up ALOT!

I like it because i sell coal and i can sell it real fast for the same price i usually sold it for

From: mepure155
I like it because i sell coal and i can sell it real fast for the same price i usually sold it for

Well sell it for that price while you can, cause this update is making prices plummet drastically.

I like it cause you can leave impossible items to sell up there till it gets sold.
Something bad about it is that it lowers many items prices and also Some items are sold over priced.
EX: Yew Longbows cost 704 gp minimum on the Exchange. =D

best thing to ever happen to rs…

ive made roughly 25mil of grand exchange :) merching herblore stuff with it is like 3 mil cash an hour.

i really don't like it…

The thing that drives the economy is the federal reserve correct?

In runescape the federal reserve is really all the people that sit around and buy natures and stuff to high-alchemy and generate loads of new currency for the players to use, atleast the main stream. Any problems with the grand exchange can be solved simply by Jagex changing the alchemy profits (in theory).

grand exchange sucks… bye to merchanting… :(

klinnks, i'dont think it has really killed merchanting as the main trading worlds are still always full…

This totally ruined the economy of RS!

I like the grand exchange…. i use it to merch on.. for example i buy scarfs for lowest and sell for highest or at least 50k higher than i bought it for.. goes pretty easy… made like 4m in just 2 days by merching scarfs and obby capes( buy for 240k in w2 fally sell for 270k in exchange) also merched my cav mask bought for lowest 1,23m i think and sold for 1,3m… etc etc… so i like it…. BUT…. Dam prices has gone down, had 9k maple logs to sell took me so much time got it sold when lowest price was on 52 gp ea :S… i havent found out what's best to buy and sell there quite yet… but if you need anything cheap like ores then it's a good place….. and i also tried to sell steel bars there and i put the price to 600 ea… no buyers so i keep for myself………..

How much more can the economy take!!!!!!?

Well it has been a few days and I don't think it was as big as many expected. it really turned outto be annoying and it makes it difficult to sell anything for an average price. People are only buying for the cheapest therefore all you can do is sell for the cheapest. It is not entirely what i expected but whatever. I dunno if jagex will make any more changes to it but right now it kinda sux. Yes inflation is happening. No one at grandexchange is buying my 500 steel bars for 550 ea! There are only buyers for the steel bars for like 518. I do suggest to sell many of your items.

i actualy like the grand exchange, i hav made a few mil buying iron and cow hides of newbs for like 30-50 gp each and selling for 3-4 times the cost, so far its awsom!

Lol I spent a week buying ashes at max price and got nothing. Anyways, trying to sell herbs and stuff, but after 2 weeks they are still there, even though they are at the lowest prices. Easier to sell on forums :/

yeah. i agree that we should be able to just see a whole list of everyone selling. =\

One word….

QUEST :]

Well someone actually bought the steel bars for 550ea at grand exchange. :)

I still think it will hurt many sooner or later. No word yet from jjagex about any changes to it.

Everything is becoming cheaper and I don't like it.

the good thing bout grand exchange is u can buy coal, p ess in other words bulk type of stuf for cheap n full on quick becuase of the macros

bad thing is, wen u need to sell things u cant really sell it striaght away

thx for post =D

it makes the selling of auto'ed resorces ess logs ect much easyer to sell

A bank pin has been added to the Grand Exchange to protect any expensive items you have for sale, or items you've successfully bought but not yet collected.

Well that problem is fixed. :).

Question: Who things Jagex reads our forums and gets some ideas from us?

i like this, i think its much easier to buy items and sell them if you dont need em now :)

I like it, All the merchers have been buggered but other then that its a good update in my eyes.

glad yews are 400e too.

grand exchange just basically made merchanting impossible…. people can check the prices around soo easily and wont sell if you have paid them low… Hard to make money now… BUT WE STILL GOT AUTOS!!

The grand exchage is a awsome idea. You can spend hours looking forn one object but wiv the grand exchange you can get it in less than 5 mins. :D

Im not too fond of merchanting, but the G.E makes autoed items esier to sell

i find that the grand exchange is disappointing in some areas. For raw materials its very competitive and the prices are low.

but i think its good overall.

I'm thinking of playing rs non-autoing, will i be able to buy ores/bars
cheap(er)?

EDIT: Ps wheres it @?

It looks like the prices for raw materials (especially battlestaffs) have risen, and the prices of the finished goods (glories, etc) have dropped. For skillers trying to make money, it doesn't help much..

look how low supersets are now… Att 459 (down from two days ago was 536), Str 2353 (up, was 1336) and Def 1144 (down alot, was 2629). Preayer pots down to 1562 a dose was like 2400 a dose I believe. On a good note Raw sharks are climbing from 658 to 707. If the economy stabalizes I think we can make due with the GE, I don't like that you can't sell something really cheap, or for that matter really expensive if there are none in the exchange and it's an item people want. I also don't like you can't see a list of things people want to sell, or a list of things people want to buy. Overall, I like the old way of selling things, but like i said, maybe this will work.

From: mastaraymond
Prices will either be stable or go down (a lot). In my opinion this is just a act from runescape to remove some money out of the game, make it worth more..

EXACTLY! i dislike it more than i like it mean people like me that have cash ( i had to liquify everything when i got out of mem although im getting it back up soon) are benifited, but people like anyone who owns armour, wepons, rares, food… its a pain because your stuff becomes worth less.. its very convienient but say you just need 30k now but the exchange wont let you sell for a little less.. or the first time i went to sell with it i put up a rbx and tried to sell for 30k but it was like 200 gp too low… :duh:

I consider the grand exchange a bad thing. Now Jagex has a easy way to see how much macroing is going on and its just a clever cover up i do kinda sound paranoid but I think using this they made the decision on the new update.

Yeah i think the grand exchange allows for a lot more monitoring, they can see the people who mine 15k essence now, or sell nothing but yews

will they start banning peeps for selling only yews or ess?

i hope not…otherwise they could really screw up the game

OH NO ITS LENIN AND STALIN!! THEY'VE COME OVER FROM RUSSIA AND TAKEN OVER JAGEX!!! lmfao


anywho…

Since you cant have two names on the same IP at the same time anymore it helps with new acccounts. just because normals logs sell for like 34 when oaks are like 15 and regular bones are 74.

how does that make any sense?!

it just sucks though because i tried trading things between my accounts with the GE and it takes like 20 mins!!!
you post something random for a low price, it doesnt sell immediately so you get on your other account, buy it but the first one doesnt get the money for another 10-20 minutes…its really gay

i just hope summoning makes up for this

i think its bad cuz of it makes shop prices stay the same i used to buy deaths for 200ea in varrock and sell for 300 but you cant
another reason is you can't sell un noted rune ess and buy it back with a little bit of gold loss when you are making nat runes you end up losing 98gp per ess so it seems pointless

i like the new grand exchange makes sellin way easyer than using an auto talker all day tryin to sell your goods

from what ive experienced of the grand exchange so far it is ok, though since it has been alittle bit since last i played i dont actualy remember the prices on some of the things i have tried selling with it, though not standing around for over an our trying to sell a mil worth of pess is nice

I guess theyre right…da grand exchange is helpin aloot..:D

i sell stuff on my autos for lets say 4gp then buy on main for 3gp cuz of 5%thing i make 1m per time i buy 1m stirng for 1m and sell and buy from main to auto

anyway… i hated this update lol, prices dropped for everything =( but the positive is that you can easily buy stuff now

:fiery: To tell u the truth the great exchange stinks so bad! U cant merch anymore since every body will go to the exchange to get the price for that item. I used to get alot of merching done but now im barly merching!!!! plus at the bottom of the trade window it would say how much the item ur selling for is worth! I HATE THE GRAND EXCHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fiery:

Hey if any one of u guys got a god item tat u can merch plz let me know thnx[BANANA];) [/BANANA]

why will rares be worth more?

oh and yeah, what is a item that we can merch in the ge?

well i really love the grand exchange, i usta hate to merch. i wud always end up buying high, and selling low. cuz i didnt want to waste time.

The grand exchange and ALL the new updates lowered the prices for discontinued rares for over 5m, :'(

Yeah the rares took a plumit

prayer pots took a nice hit too

The Grand Exchange for me is good. I hated just standing there trying to sell my steel bars. Now it is simple and I don't really have to waste time. The only drawback is the set prices. They shouldn't have that. If people want to sell really low let them. If people want to sell really high let them try. With the recent updates runescape has become way worse of a game. I mean come on no dropping items over 1k thats just plain stupid.

bout time

I hate the Grand Exchange its making things less profitable nearly every price has gone down

From: Tepaz
Prices dropping alot:S

Ya i didn't like this update, wasted some money >.<

Grand Exchange is good because of the convenience of being able to get ANY item for a reasonable price almost immediately.

I think they should have given us the ability to browse through people who are selling or buying. That way you don't have to guess at what the lowest price the item is currently being sold for on your world is.

i like the exchange but like people have said it's easy to sell autoed stuff but.. has it's downs

i have a question about it if u sell say like 10873 yew longs does the other person have to wont to buy that exact amount or will it just take what they wont and give the rest back to me? cause that would take forever for somone else to wont to buy the same amount.

if some1 wanted to buy ur yew like only 5k they would buy 5 k of ur yews and it would only say the percentage sold in grand exchange
;)

This Grand exchange isn't bad. We have somthing in our world very similar called globalization. Globalization basically removes borders allowing really cheap prices. The communist countries that don't open borders to trade are the ones with super high prices. If you want to buy something this is good for you as long as it is a cheap commodity but if your trying to sell high you have to find that item in the "communist country".

What you need to do is be one heck of a powerful char who can go get things that usually ppl can't get. Zezima would have had a blast with this cus he was 99 in all things. He could go into the wild and find the blood rune spawns or kill that big fat ant for tons of $$.

The problem now is finding that one item that no one else can get and then getting it.

Look at the prices, Dragon axe is selling for over 3 mil still. Thats a fair $. Try using macros to get to high lvls and get those hard to find things. If along the way you get 30k ess and want to sell for some side cash go for it.

We are seeing in the real world, oil prices are rising and so will certain things in this Grand Exchange just wait and see what they are and be ready to find it.

That what I got to say.

I think the grand exchange is a good thing to have.
But the 3k trade limit is quite bad.
You can't even give things as a gift, more worth than 3000 coins.
The exchange makes it possible to do other things while selling, that's a good point but get rid of the 3k trade limit!

that wasnt much help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks that helps

Brent, a one day ban and postcount reset for you. Do not spam to get yourself into Junior Members. There are better ways!

I don't think that the Runescape devs would allow for the prices to drop down to being "worthless." For while it does discourage autos and encourage "combat moneymaking/adventuring," it also reduces the value of the money-making skills.

the GE is pretty good for merchanting.. since there is a variable market price.

I really Like the Grand Exchange because you can do other things when ur buying/selling items and it's really fast when i sell my steel bars making my fingers not numb ^.^

Nope. It is one of theworst updates ever. Economy will be ruined. You will see :D

i believe that its just another way they tried to destroy the economy of rs

No, the economy won't be ruined. Parts of it will, true, but as a whole- no. A part that is already ruined is (obviously) Yew Longbows. Uhh, 700 each on the Exchange is a bit high, don't you think? :P

Natures are going back up to the 300's, Pure essence is coming back down because so many people are mining it now (hey, it used to be around 160 each. That's a good profit :P), so this is still a free-ish economy where supply and demand do still play a large part in pricing. :rolleyes:

i like grand ex :D i dont need autotalker :D

im realy upset about the grand exchange :(

Can someone tell me exactly where the Grand Exchange is on Runescape?

Ty Its a good Script

This is a good script for low lvls they can get fast exp but not for high combats :D btw Ty

FIRST POST W00T TY Mate Gona try oUT!

I totally disagree…

The grand exchange is an example of government intervention (jagex) intervening in the free-market economy of runescape by setting a 'market price'. I have noticed a pattern that leads me to believe that this is in fact a price ceiling below the traditional market price set by the laws of supply and demand. If anyone studies economics here, they would know that that would lead to shortcomings in supply and an blow-out in demand. However, this would only apply to armour sets. I'd wager that not as many people are willing to buy resources such as coal as their market prices increased by as much as 30 gp, which is alot in bulk purchases.

It is very hard, if not impossible to manage an economy like Runescape completely by setting the prices right. A slight disparity would upset the whole balance between supply and demand. This law of supply and demand is focused around the miners and cutters and producers selling at amounts and prices that reflect how badly the manufacturers (fletchers, smithers, etc.) want the materials.

Having said that, entrepreneurism is dead to an extent, with merchanters throwing everything away in the face of a solid price. The grand exchange itself bears no resemblance to stock exchanges in the real world, with limits set on the price fluctuations. As a result, if demand for a particular item falls, the price will not be indicative of this drop so less people will buy the item. The suppliers will notice that their items are not being sold, and will decrease their prices, unaware that the real market price is beneath that set by Jagex. Slowly, people will begin to realise that the sale of that item is unprofitable and will shy away from that particular skill if no revenue is being produced.

With the decline in demand and supply, and the lack of foreign investment and government injection of capital into the economy, recession will begin and unemployment will commence in earnest. As the economy falls to ruin, and the citizens begin to tire of the poor economic and social conditions, civil unrest will be on an upward hike. Eventually, if the problem is not solved, it will reach phenomenal levels and the tyrannous government will be overthrown, with a new one elected. Hence, the land will convert from a socialist, one-party state racked by totalitarianism to a democratic and free country that elects its own leaders and rules on its own freedoms and rules.

Or so the economic story goes…

wow, very complicated, and im not sure i understand it all, i read it all because this is what ive been trying to explain to my friends. very nicely put :D

ew i hate it, its gay.

From: Narcle
I don't like the setup AT ALL. It should be set up where you can actually see each individuals offers, not put in a number and buy who has it at that prices… Hate it hate it hate it.

WoWs AH >>>>>> Grand Exchange

p.s.
Way to destroy the game economy, imo

Well…the way it is can be viewed positively you know? Such as if you offer max…and someone is selling for min… It may settle in middle, and both are happy. But i'll give you this, sometimes prices screw you over……like potions!

Its kind of like the world's stock markets and the system used to match buyers and sellers… They don't have to see each other's offers, they just set in the price they want to sell or buy for. Its completely anonymous.

I don't get what you mean by the potions >.>

Didn't UO have an exchange long before WOW?
Regardless, I also really like it. It makes buying in bulk so much easier than trawling through the forums

I thinks it's good. :)

Nice guide! Helped me getting rid of my keyloggers! Thanks!

Níce one ;)

Nice! Thanks!

Needs a little tweaking ;) But nice as your first try..

Spam spam spam.. Works nice ^^ ty

The 3k trade limit has probably killed runescape. Friends and I used to swap whatever back and forth if we needed it. Now it's gay as hell. I don't see the point of placing the limit on the game. IMO it was a big fucking screw up on their part.

The trade limit now changes depending on how many quest points your got, but it only goes up to 30k IIRC, which is still pretty useless if you want to lend a friend something. However, given that we, as cheaters, are partly responsible for jagex introducing it, in my opinion we don't really have much of a right to complain

The Ge makes autoed goods quick to get rid of…I just miss being able to sell them for what I wanted.

Ah very nice Sript, Just used it for the first time ever and i loved it. First script ever used <3 thanks!

Keep it up

I would have to say 14 but i am not sure rather i was 14 or 15 when i made my first actual good script that was useful to people.

Ah very nice, just did this one and it ran for about a hour before i ended it. Got 4+ packs and i thinik i am going to use this more often. THanks alot.

Yeah it really isn't a scam i made a few dollars to, Doesn't scam and it isn't spam works like a charm and makes nice money :)

Thanks for the tutorial, I finaly now get it.

I downloaded it, It didn't really work to hot.

THank you lord, I finaly got how to mine and fight but now ican do all three, Mine - Woodcut and Fight thanks alot man!

Thanks for the Info on it. I finaly now get how to do it. THanks alot will use this in the future.

Thanks i just got rid of the error thanks for the anwers.

About time a good Tut comes out that shows me how to Scrip Scar! :) thanks man

Wow man nice to meet you, i am new to :) and yeah i am here to script to and learn how to do it.

Hey man, Nice to meet you. I am new here to :) Welcome!

Nice to meet you man. Hope you dont leech!

Good luck making friends !:)

Yeah i don't think it will hurt but i don't think it will help

I am pretty happy with the ge right now cause I made 1.2mil off it. It was total luck though. I bought gunthans for really low in the afternoon. Then the next day decided I didn't like it and sold for 1.2m more then bought it. :)

With the GE you can make money also, thanks to new players…
Just try it, as example with steel bars or something, buy 10k at lowest price, and whatever you get back, immediatly on the mid price -> sold.

The best it works with eyes of newt (yep, them again).
just set it to 10k eyes of newt at the lowest price, and wait, when you get them coming in, you can sell them at the same time for the highest and you're rolling :)

I use GE way to much lol xD Sell way to low buy way to high.

Yes that grand Exchange sucks


Fagex is fucking up the Pk The fuck everything


And if there whaseng Autoing I didnt even played FuckingScape

I believe the grand exchange makes it easier to buy and sell with ease, but I think the whole bartering system will be damaged severely. I do like how its made it easier to sell stuff quickly, but this, along with the introduction of the trade rules are going to cause the economy to become either severely stable and stagnent, or take a downward spiral due to the ever popular sell for the cheapest amount option.

Overall cool introduction, Im going to be happy to see what exactly becomes of the exchange and the economy of rs in general now.

I really dislike most of the new systems, I mean, the GE is great if youre a normal player with one account, but I have a few, including a mule that i'd make a friend trade all my stuff to for storage, and now that that 3k limit is instated….well, lets just say my d'hide is stuck on an account that cant even use it, as more for the GE, prices just keep dropping like mad! I tried selling some 10k ess, on the LOWEST, and it didnt sell, and after a few days…the lowest was 5gp lower than before. This means that all assests are also decreasing in price…darn it :(

P.S. I dont like to PK, but the new system kinda really sucks i think….

I don't really like the prices Jagex set on the first day. Because of it, I have yet to sell my 10k Maple Longbows (u) even a month later

i havent read through all of it but a auto merchanter would be really easy to make

I think that it was good that they created GE, its very simple to buy and sell stuff now, thats a big plus imo. Yeah its a little like wow AH, but still a great update. I have nothing bad to say about GE tbh, or well it could be more simple like in wow ah, i mean so you can press "buyout" and so you can see example how many d longs there is in ge that would be good.

Personally i find it very useful, especially when im questing and i need to buy some of those miniscule items. Plus you dont have to travel from bank to bank or wait for someone to pm you to sell somethin.

I don't know which side to choose about the GE. As far as merchanting goes, it makes it easier for me, as I don't have to do any work. Just Buy 130m gp worth of something at lowest price, then turn around and sell it for a few gp higher. Profit. As far as armour goes, being a rune smither I'm pretty hacked about it. If you buy the bars for the GE price, you lose money no matter what you are making, because the ore/bar prices are too high, yet the armour prices are too low. That goes for any type of armour. Lastly, you can't make armour sets from notes, so if you want to sell alot of sets, thats alot of trips.

i think this really screwed up the economy of RS, within a few days of the update prices of just about everything dropped, either that or after a while itll the supply and demand will even out a lil, so i guess it could help after a while….

i kinda like the GE cuz with some luck u can score big but its just going to run prices into the ground:( and make rares worth WAY more… but it does make buy and selling alot easier… so i sill dont know what to think of it quite yet

I hate it. Economy will die over time, and everything is harder. Way more cons then pros…

wow this update killed trading for me. What happened to the good old days where clever salesmanship can earn the seller an incredibly disproportional buttload of gp?

Hopefully rares go up in value, I'm sitting on a santa and a blue mask that I picked up years ago off the ground at midnight and are near and dear to my heart

Ya, the update killed prices. But at least now they are balanced. Before the prices so much on things just like color it didn't make any since

can i ask..? how do people sell there millions now? i don't think they cant do that!~

jakob.

My red has dropped 13m so far >_<

Tbh, its completely ****, thanks to it Jagex can now have complete control of the prices, I think in total its lost me around abouts 4ish mil, I've only got about 5m in total…

It's true. Jagex looks more like the communist government every update :(

The grand exchange is one of the best rs features yet!

I think that the GE should have a reccomended selling/buying price and whatnot but what you actually offer should not be hindered… but they are trying to stop black marketeers so they killed/are controlling the market

Is there a limit on how much of one item you can buy at a time now?

I've stopped autoing for a long time now [since wildy died] all i do is log in and buy a load of something and then sell it later when it goes up. But recently, for the past few weeks i only seem to buy 25k of a certain item at once. Even when i set the price at max and choose to buy a few hundred thousand of an item i only get 25k of it at most at a time. I'm not even trying to transfer goods, but i've been doing it for a few months and i think they think im transfering goods because the last few times i logged in i got random people messaging me asking me random things about the game. Testing if im a bot?

Person 1: Hi, i just started playing this game again in like 3 years. can you tell me what's changed?
Person 2: Hi, can you tell me where i find [item] please?
Person 3: Hi, how do i get to [area], can you take me there please?
Person 4: Hi.

And it goes on, also, i get massive amount of randoms even i'm only online for a very short amount of time every day [less then 5 mins]

Log in.
Opening grand exchange.
Boom; Random blocks me from entering pin.
Update items.
Press log out button.
Boom; Random blocks me from exiting.

This is so annoying… not so much the random, i like free items. But the limit is really annoying because i can only make about 200k a day now.

you cant make money crafting d hide or look how much potions have gone down!

gravedig of a gravedig lol.
