OMG… that sorta kills the transfer of goods. It will also effect the RS economy as the so called "value" of the goods don't change…. I do like that gravestone think after you die though.

Nothing else can be fucked up as far as i am concerned. Pking is dead

and does anyone realise…autoing is dead too. because what are we going to do with our goods? everything i played for is gone.

Is there any chance of them killing macroing?

awesom

2007-12-10 06:49:44

Yup… Can't give out shit to our mains or anything this is totally fucked.

It practically already has been killed just then.

Wow i never thought they'd take it this far they ruined duel arena wasted all that time on my staker now pking so many lost pures and pkers and now they've managed to kill autoing but they didn't just do that they managed to kill the reason a lot of people play the game gf runescape i think im quitting.

i just read about this new updates
why would they create the gravestone idea in wilderness
whuts the point of the wilderness when these take effects
and
i have a lvl 3 with like 7k flax for what reason's now if i can't transfer.
idk what's gonna happan
runescape is gonna be quite boring after this

one thing for sure is… jagex is doing alot of damage to their own game.
the value of stuffs are gonna be so affected. Macroing will be pointless if u want to make one char extremely rich, unless you want to lvl up multiple chars. This move is really unexpected from jagex, now even drop trading cannot be done!
Pking will be long gone… as you cant even obtained good stuff without the otheer person getting his stuff back… all the time wasted on my pures….

Oh God… I can't pay my membership in RSGP anymore… FFS!

When the majority of my class played RuneScape a few years back, we always gave each other birthday present.

It's safe to say that they are destroying the ability to be friendly… Maybe they should set the amount to around 100k instead of 3k. This also eliminates the final chance of merchanting, selling fast and selling discount items.

Great work, Jagex… Or not… With all due respect, I think Jagex just fucked up again… For legits and cheaters.

God damn it, I just read this and now I have more than half the ores for 90 smithing and this wrecked it. We all are taking a big loss here and it will probably remain this way too. It doesn't seem like there is a good way around this at all…:mad:

I'm interested to see what happens to us. I only hope the best.

They really are trying to remove cheating from the game! Wonder how long before someone finds a loop hole.

Oh, and does anyone know what happens when you die in the wild (someone killing you). How does the person that killed you pick up the items? Still confused about the gravestone thing.

OH! But I do like the new Duel Arena for free. And the bounty hunting mini game seems interesting. But the stated up-coming update with the running/chasing mini game seems hilarious.

2007-12-10 07:14:06

Well there is A way to get over this… for instance if you want to transfer coal. you have to always transfer with a limit of 3k lol… which means maybe 20 coal each trade…. AND i'm sure all of us have TONS of stuff to transfer

2007-12-10 07:14:16

Im sure srl will still continue:D After all the other bad stuff im sure macoring will survive

The Claw

2007-12-10 07:19:07

theres no point in srl if we are unable to transfer any of our items. all pures gone. all stakers gone. the game is ruined as far as im concerned. watch the prices of everything go up and up

Java Lava

I cant see this lasting, Many people are ranting and lots of people are going to quit runescape. I think Jagex will realise they should of used there head to think for once before being big headed and just doin shit without thining about the concequences. Sure people still stayed when they fked up Pest Control, Sure people stayed when they fked up Stakeing, Sure the majority of people said they would quit and didnt cause they loved the game so much. But now PKIN is ruined, That is atleast half of P2P population gone, Tradeing is ruined, Sure it stops macroers and real world traders. But they also fucked it up for the legit players. This will raise prices and many legit players will quit along with the people who quit with this update. Jagex will soon realise they have pushed it to far when they look at how many people will be playing runescape in a weeks time. They will have no choice but to remove these or change them so legit people can share items with each other and even merchant, Or jagex is just throwing it self in the bin.

Yah this really sucks, I hate how pk'n is gone, wtf THEY created pk'n and now there like, hey were going to remove the ONE fun part of free play owning, w/e i still think it will be possable to auto, we just need to get our chars to a average lv (idk like 30-40) and then we just have it not a random name like fjksdh324, no one will buy from that…. like my one auto's name is mikevskater, thats a average name, so people will buy from that…. i think we can live through this, or is it just me?

awesom

2007-12-10 07:34:52

I don't think that will happen.. Sure many will quit but they won't undo all that just because of that.

The fact isnt being caught autoing its that there is no god dam point because you can't transfer your items to your main…

Doesnt drop trading still work thought

King of Knives

2007-12-10 07:40:30

It's making me mad to see that half the reason for doing this, is to PROVE to the public (that is soon leaving RuneScape) that they are doing something.

More precisely, ruining the game bit by bit. They might aswell close down the Jagex office and stop paying for their servers. With this speed, the end is very near…

Just transfer ur stuff by drop trading and then sell the stuff..

Infidel00

2007-12-10 08:02:40

It's a harsh thing they are doing…I think I may just have to auto in a very safe manner on my main now to get those ores/logs/ect. now.

I am just wondering if they are updating their security and are going to start catching more autoers.

You cant do that either, if the amount of stuff you dropped exceeds 3000rsgp, then it is only visible to you. Which means if you drop it, you are the only one that can pick it up before it decays.

and they might as well get rid of the wilderness altogether, its just taking up space now.

if i were them i would make wilderness into a few new towns that are like the l33t towns, like fuild with guilds and mining spots and ywews and mages (for our autoers xD) yah that would never happen, but they should put like a mini game ther now or somwthing, its jus going to take up space….
