Runescape's economy was great back in the day because it was full of 12 year olds who didn't know the value of a gp. Now that market prices are set in stone the economy is too hard to exploit to be worth the effort. So what are people doing today? Where have you all fled to?

Congratulations on a good first post here on this great forum.

There is no real answer on your question, A LOT of people have quit RS due to the recent updates. The ones that still auto do not do it so much for gain as before, and even they have their special techniques of transferring cash between accounts and such.

RS is no longer the fun it once was. The best you can do is to auto. The worst sado-masochism is to play legit.

i remember those days. i myself just started playing again after like 2 years.
by the way wrong forum. should be in general news.

Sorry about that Pheonix. I never would have thought to post this in a news section.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. However these days it seems I can't auto for 30 minutes without getting surprise sexed by a random encounter. :(

no problem. just so you know the gen. news is for public chat and this one is for talk of bugs on the srl forums/site etc.

This was a positive thread title… Shouldnt this be moved to the general news section.

Well one thing is RS is still run by 12 year olds, that hasn't really changed. The only thing is now these 12 year olds are catching on.
Now days though I find myself autoing strictly for xp on my characters. It's more worthwhile in the end I feel.

I loved runescape back in the day, but unfortunately I'll have to agree that Jagex killed it.

Were you serious about this question? If so, I'll at least keep autoing on RS :p but I made myself a quick list of (free) games to check out once school is over (1 week!!!)

Sweet. Once you're done trying them out you should post back here and let me (and everyone) know which ones were worth your time. I might end up gravedigging this post in a few weeks :p

What's so bad about 12 year olds?

Same here, except I turned 12 three months ago :p. But I started play Runescape at 8-9 years old. So I've played for 3+ years.

[OFFTOPIC] What's that mean? :D [/OFFTOPIC]

I think by saying 11-12 year olds, they mean the stupid ones that didn't bother to learn what a gp was worth, not the ones that they couldn't exploit :p
there always has to be a smart few of every group…

i tottaly agree with the economy being f'ed up , but that happned when JAGEX took out the wild , back then everything revolved around pking.
now people cant merch as good cause the g.e , jagex is just dumb in my oppinon:p

I fled to WoW
Then came back
Then fled again
And am back again :P
I think that this is better than WoW in some ways..
Cheaper for one
Lol.
I think WoW>RS in most ways
But I'd still prefer to play RS :)

just a reminder this isnt rl?

lol

From: P1NKY

lol

Lol, I second that.


But yeh, the GE is much MUCH easier to sell and buy with however it kind of changed the whole game. I liked it better before that HUGE update.

PS: Since I had a quit period during the big update, is drop trading still possible?

No, the only items that will be visible after you drop them are any item under 3k. All other items will never become visible :).

Sorry to disappoint you but my computer is really junky. None of those game clients worked except Dofus, which lagged hardcore. :(

well look at the good side no more scamming. hard work now has a bigger value (if your a member). i reallllly hate these updates. id rather have them but game guard on our machines (granted thats not possible).

lol seems better without playing rs for me :)

too much gay pixel tension. hehe but yeah i just auto tbh.

and instead of being worried about rs Gp value lol , get ready for the US economy/prices/gas price (resession)! eek!

From: kim

You tried all 10 or 20 games? That sucks, man. Time for a new investment?

I guess that is one thing that's still better about RS, it'll still play on the lowest of the low PCs (and other OS's with java)

From: man slaughter
hard work now has a bigger value (if your a member).

correction: Keeping up with the economy no longer brings you any advantage, so there's no reason not to be lazy and use GE prices. Hard work is no longer necessary.

Lol, you guys do realize runescape scored a success with those updates? cheaters like us complain more than any other group of players. Sure, some p2p members also complain, but that is a minimal price to pay for them in order to ruin the game for us. And guess what? complaining here won't help at all. in fact, complaining here is similar to going to jagex hq and telling them they did a great job… So stop the whining, get onto writing scripts, and use this situation to ht ebest of your abilities…

This response is targeted torwards all the people who say/think: OMG Runescape/SRL is like DEAD! IMA go kill myself!!

it means that your killing yourself in real life lol

mm, i still kill dragons for money lol, bank bones and hides :D big cash

Yeah, Runescapes gotten boring to me as well, all my friends who used to play it no longer do, when I go back to it, it just feels like I do it to remember the old times.

I miss exploiting the economy, and miss password crackers, and I miss trading money between accounts. They remove all of the stuff that made the game fun to me :P.

I only mine pure ess for easy cash..

Yes, runescape died since the events of 10/12. I very rarely play it now and I'm considering selling my account (O.O) as I figured its a stupid game with no point.

Player something more worthwhile like something to get you fresh air, football for example.

runescape rocks!

I quit RS back in August, before shit hit the fan and the game went down the drain.

Unfortantely I'm back here today. Not to play Runescape for the enjoyment, but to cheat for the enjoyment. It's always been a past love and something fun for me.

Outside of the runescape world I've been tinkering with RSC severs, printing stickers, and going to School (I know, the inevitable for some :P)

I agree. I only cheat for the enjoyment. I may do a quest here or there, but that just means im entirely bored. Runescape has officially been flushed. Seems as though Jagsex only released FunOrb because of the diminishing population of runescape.

Go spam some other website. And you are wrong, thinking that something virtual rocks is like wanting to go out with a barbie doll…

Hah. I remember the days I could go out with a group of friends and PK. By the end of some days we'd have almost 50 mil's worth of stuff. Now that isn't very possible except for bounty hunter. I tend to visit runescape every so often but it's just not the same.

LOL Fled.
We're just being more people like, autoing is still around. You'll just be seeing more Runecrafter and Autofighting bots. (Runecrafting is a specialist skill that is more efficient on one account than many.)

thers always maplestory and cabal. keep yo heads up !

With pking and price stable runescape isnt really as fun as it use to. My fav thing to do was mb pk and it was fun.

sadly I have been playing runescape off and on since it was in beta back when i was in 5th grade, (7 years ago). It was like my life, being able to pk anyone anywhere except the bank within 3 levels of you was fking awesome (can i swear?). RS went to crap right when rs2 came out. The only amusing thing to do in this game now is auto and see how high I get before I get banned lol, btw I have legitimately leveled a 78 and a 104 in rs…both banned. I hate you Jagex!!! I tend to talk a lot of crap about jagex and funorb while im playing which is partially why my main got banned lol..
I had over 80 haloween masks believe it or not, I sold them 5-10k each lol.

Anyone else been playing rs for entirely too long?

runescape should stop all this fun orb crap and concentrate on the issue at hand how rs is shit and gay

Its a business, they are doing it to make money, not to make people like them. They don't give a shit what we think about the game, as long as we play it. If they only concentrated on rs, they wouldn't make as much money, not as much advertising space/members. So they need to do both to make more money. Its just a business, designed to make money, not for others enjoyment.

I really can't figure out how runescape even got so popular. I mean most (legit) people grind for skills endlessly and only thing they have to show for it is a sore wrist. Isn't the enjoyability the most vital thing for a game to become successful? Well I guess RS is serious business.

I aswell beleive rs died but its fun aslong as you have people to play with For those guys who gave up try joining a BH Clan then it gets fun and get a range training script in my opinion range is the best and most beasty skill there is

yeah runescape is death the grand exange ***** all the sistem i can scam noobs and merchandasing dead


gandulfin

I only ever autoed on my main for xp any way so the updates didnt really change alot for me, but i do second what has allready been said that the very fact that a community of cheaters is giving out that RS is shit/crap/bad now is proof that the updates did there job.

I think the reason people play is because its free, probably the best online free game. But I guess people get addicted, get there friends to play, they get addicted, and its a big circle really.

well no duh its dead it kinda died when they took out staking in the 1st place

I definately agree that the Grand Exchange update is lame. The idea of selling items without spamming in world1 is good, tho the prices shouldnt be defined on forehand.

yer the prices just arent right for some items. being a wcer i was bitterly disappointed to see that the grand exchange has made it almost impossible to sell willows

From: piro_tekniq

I know I bought my mage comp for 250k back then, and I sold it couple of times + bought new ones … Guess what, 4-5k on Grand Exchange, bullshit imo

Jagex's efforts to make Runescape a noob-friendly environment isn't new, they've done it since RS Classic. The censors, the market normalization, tutorial island, gravestones, a lot of things they've done has ruined the MMORPG experience.

Back in the good days, I lost 1 million gold worth of items while fighting some jackass elite thief guard (whatever his name is), because I wasn't monitoring my prayer points. Did I simply run back and get my items? Shit no. I lost it all, and I painfully regrinded my life away on every single gp that I lost. I was raging because some nub was watching and probably picked up half the dragon items that I dropped.

I got scammed by the gold switching trick, noobed by people with better knowledge of the economy than me. I died, I grinded. And I became good at the game. And then Jagex introduces a damn feature which completely ruins everything that I worked my ass off for.

Whats worse is, the new market ruins any sort of community. Want to sell coal? Just post it in the exchange. Don't bother spamming for a couple of hours in Falador Bank. Where's the MMO in that? Not to mention the gold limit imposes a sever restriction on introducing friends to the game, helping alternate characters out and generally creating a better playerbase/economy overall

If you play as a normal player for a while, although the game is boring as file system check; you gain a sense of achievement. That's the case with most MMORPGs though - it's not how much skill you have, it's how much time you put into it. And that's why so many kiddies can own at MMORPGs.

I've been playing World of Warcraft mostly, but I occasionally pop over to RS to check my old beloved character. I've had some nice memories, but the grinding in Runescape is insane compared to WoW. SCAR is my savior.

Actually, thinking about it - (I know it's a little off-topic) has anyone tried reselling in the grand exchange? With a new graph implementation, we can see the rise and fall of prices in the exchange, leading to a sort of 'stock market'. It would be rather easy to track the patterns of certain goods and profit from exploiting these patterns.

A person with higher knowledge of the economy would still be able to dominate lesser people - although you would need a good starting amount of money to benefit.

Yea somehas made a database that logs the prices. I forget what its called but if you search Grand Exchange Prices in the forum youre bound to find it. But it has everything on an online database, and from what Ive seen is what youre talking about.

I thought Jagex had implemented (or has already implemented) a graph or some sort of statistics system within the exchange? A database would be external and probably inaccurate unless it obtained its data directly from Jagex data

World of Warcraft FTW! Cheating in it would be a rape against an awesome game like it.

true.. the new updates suck >_<
but we got to deal with it:(
i think mining is a good way for making gp, wc also:)

Yeah, the GE update sucked, but it made us find new ways to get money though.

I do agree Rs has lost its fun mmorpg feel that made it interesting in the first place. But, I also believe that we caused that to change for the worst. We cheat, they have their strong sense of "fair play", and decided, perhaps almost against their will to try and prevent macros. In afew years, I predict, they will remove it once the macroings has either stopped or have been drastically reduced.

I personally am waiting for the newer mmorpg by the same company that made Dofus. Wakfu is the newer game. perhaps it would be good if we started again there when it comes open beta after summer vacation this year?

rofl. I agree, stop complaining, get a job, go to school, hang out with friends, go to the beach or go huntn'. Theres many things that can benefit you, and playing runescape isn't one of them ;)

I have been merching whips overnight. I buy them from people for market price and then sell them for max overnight. Many people just are impatient and buy for highest price. So if you stick about 10 up in there, its close to 1m when you sleep. Takes a lot of money, but I do from merching before the GE.

Well I used to play runescape a year or so ago and when I recently started playing again I was quite confused by the whole dramatic change in economy. But, I do think that, personally, the Grand Exchange has worked in my favour.

I've played WoW and Tibia.
I'm WoW-addicted, my gametime ended.
And now I'm giving RS a try. :)

RS is dead. No wildy, no trading; I'd rather play a single player game w/ better graphics.

I totally agree, Rs is stupid and pointless now, I think the most important thing for runescape was Wildy, Pking, player always wanted to rise levels and do quests so they could get the strongest status so they could go kill some other players and get better, now there is just Bounty Hunter? and its so stupid … no more cool clan wars, no more Runecrafters Pking or noob players pking, or even being pked… I think bounty hunter sucks, revenants suck, clan wars suck… the wildy was what Runescape was all about. Now its about nothing.

SRL will never die tought, even that Im never going to get over those stupid updates , Ill still auto, for many reasons, mainly because I want to become a real good scripter , also because I want to show Fagex that they will never get rid of Us the autoers , and that those updates beside of being stupid were also useless because we are still there, autoing.

hehe Peace to all.:D

I think the same, but i somehow like Bounty Hunter, i do think it's litteraly nothing compared to the old wilderniss, but it has some fun things, Like that there are always people to kill.

But meh.. Old wildy.. *Dreams..*

I miss those days. I remember back when whips were 2 mil and above and rune scimmies were 40k each. I miss Seers being full of people trying to buy whatever they wanted.
Those were good days.

ya i think it was much fun to trick little noobs out of there money

You do realize that 'exploitation of the economy' isn't actually considered cheating? The so called 'exploitation' happens every day you buy something from the supermarket. Their charging you retail prices as opposed to wholesale prices.

Honestly, I don't know whats with all the people playing Runescape thinking that 'merchants' and 'being smart' is thievery, considering it happens in Real Life every single day. Somebody on RS forums tried to compare inflation to a burglar breaking into my house. Needless to say, it's obvious these guys haven't been outside in quite a while.

The wildy & interaction & simplicity made it appealing. Now it's just a waste of time.

I disagree, most players never, EVER enter the wilderness, except for quests. There's a very small population, but the majority is always in PvE places.

However, it's true that Jagex has almost killed interaction. The addition of quick chat (Lazy spam fest), removal of trade spam, addition of trade limit, has absolutely ruined the point of the MMORPG, which normally boasts those features (As well as the painful RPG grind)

What's so bad about 12 year olds?

Nothing really. It's just that 12 year olds are generally unfamiliar with different life-concepts, and can easily make incorrect decisions in the game.

Runescape was changed in such a way which benefits people who make mistakes. And since we are all humans, we tend to bash the person who gets something.

OMG they took out wildy???? T_T omg 1 and 1/2 years i been gone and they do something stupid like *Take out wildy*. *Sigh* oh well. Anyways we gotta keep on truckin.


im sad now T_T

i am going to try to get through all the updates they throw at us. i did find a website i don't know if it legal here to say so i wont. but they helped me get money train on some hard quests they did stuff for me. but it is setting me up so i just go through runescape and not have to worry about money i just role through. keep it real peeps!

They sure did kill it in many ways i use to love over pricing thing but now everything has to be around the same price and everything is soo nooby with the nooby rules. One of the best things i did on runescape back in the day was lure people for santas and whips :P I use to record on hyper cam and show it too all my friends lol now i cant do any of that :[ i guess they made a very very big mistake i liked the way it was befor they should of kept it like that .

I think thats everyone's view. The only reason I play at the moment, is for Fist of Guthix, because its the next best thing to PKing now wildy is gone.

if you ask where you all have fled to, then i would say basicaly where most of the ex-runescapers go….. ofcourse WoW :D was fun, but got booring very fast, now im back to auto :D

IMO I still play RS cause I was never a hardcore PKer. I'm more in for the happiness of accomplishing a goal when leveling up skills. (Of course, I auto too =x)

well, it is fun to get your lvls hig, but whats the point of having lvl 99 str or range if you cant use it against other players? o.0

I remember one time, when i was like combat 35. I was playing on my pure ranger and i told this noob with rune pick and addy armor to come with me to the wild, cause i was going to have a drop party :p I told him that when he attacked me i started to drop, so he attacked me and got skulled xD. I was pretending to drop stuff so that he wouldnt run away. Then BOOM i started to attack him and i killed him pretty easily ;) The next day i met him at the place i met him before (Varrock east mine) but i was on my other account, and i asked him if he wanted to follow me to a drop party. he was like '' No yo got tricked de kill me''. LOL

Lol! xD

i remember i got tricked by scamming, and later same day i started scamming too :S

SRL has always had challenges, it's just a bit of fun at the end of the day.
We've always overcome those challenges, and this time is no different.
Sure, we'll have a period of feeling down about it, But we'll find a way.

Like always.

From: Zytex!
Lol! xD

i remember i got tricked by scamming, and later same day i started scamming too :S

Haha i tryed scamming… i have never had so many lvl 3-12 accounts!!!

I basically made money by scamming before I discovered SCAR and SRL. I would put up full rune(g) then switch it to just full rune before the final accept thing. I would make it such a good deal on there part that they would accept it fast haha, it was fun.

Sorry if that was one of you one time :p

I used to scam by putting a rune item (noted) in the trade window before switching it to the same type of item but made out of iron. When you just glance at them the words iron and rune look similar, so lots of people accepted it.

haha, i was a great scammer…but i dont macro to get better at the game, im trying to learn some basic programming :D

I got scammed big o.O when the Trade-limit thing wasn't there
Bought 10K big bones.. They changed it to normal bones.. Since B Bones are 400 each and normal 70 each, thats a big difference. Spoiled 3.3M :(

Oh lawds. Alot of scammers here on SRL :p … Ages ago (few years) when I was a kid and didn't know about sythe, SRL or any other communities I used to do it too.. I even came up with sophisticated strategies (won't really matter if I'll tell you one anymore as it's impossible to scam, unless you'll scam the whole acc and have a huge amount of time and blabla… Won't work.).. So here's a strategy I used in those dark times :p

Multilogging on two accounts, gathering a bunch of people saying you're giving a free 1M and the person who trusts you most gets it (trusts you with most valuable item(s) by giving you an item and you give it back), showing 1M to everyone, then acting like you're giving money or items or whatnot from one account to the other thus forcing the others to give more in order to win..

Once you got a roundful of some good enough items just wait a while and log-out (not really necessary, you pretty much couldn't get banned for doing that shit) or push the limit higher (you can always add more of imaginary money).

If people don't really play well (like give max 10k worth of items) or go "ill just watch blabla scammer lol" just win yourself with your other acc, give the 1M to it, show it around, then "forget" to give back the item that you won with on the other account and transfer 1M back then just talk with the account you have "the game" with and say you'll do another game in a minute, and leave with other acc to bank (have this one's private messaging off so nobody can suspect anything incase they check if it logs out 10 sec after away from the area) meaning just run away to some crowd and log out and the people from the last game will follow you to join the other 80%-ish chance xP

And incase of having to win yourself have a back-up account waiting somewhere that you'll login to and do the same you did with the last one you won your own game with (really suspicious if the same account comes out of nowhere to win again) and most will think that acc would win anyways because it has 1M it just got for free from the person so it can "play" with the full mill w/o losing :p.. So have some other back-up acc and just join with it while walking around spamming and nobody will be suspicious at all and start over..

After few hundred k of retard gold you just swapped to another big server and by time you had gone through the most big ones you could just start over without the fear of the same faggot you just ripped off jumping out of nowhere shouting "he took my jewgold!" and ruining it all like a silly goose… I saw so many people use this same scam but way more stupidly and fail-ish without any cool details :) This strategy was pretty much fail-proof. Always worked and you made atleast some money (faster than clicking trees like a nub anyways x) )

Yeah, made alot of cash with this type of stuff back then but haven't bothered in years.. Infact I've never really made my money legitly (or at the absolute starting point of my RS carreer), but not "real money" (above 50k)..

Alot of sort of off-topic text, I suppose, but the thread sort of side-tracked.

Lol.. I loved using complex scams on noobs before the trade limit update.

GoF I also used that technique many times :D Sometimes nubs even gave me their password as trust rofl.

For the most part i have reverted to using auto powerminers and just gettin mining up… :( –the new RS SUX–

Haha, I loved scamming and just wanted to post one more way that I used to get it done. This way was kinda creepy but so much fun. Well I had an account that I did not want but got it from a freind, so it was a pretty good lvl…like lvl 88 or somthing. Well I would walk around and find people with pretty armours on (Full Rune(g)(z) etc…) but with a lower lvl than my account.

I'd then go up to them and just say im quiting, heres my account. This is when it started getting fun. :D

I'd watch them like a stalker with another account and see what they did on that account for a day or two, until they trusted it. Then when I saw them go off and drop trade all there stuff, I would go and recover my account with all the stuff, then put it on my main.

This was ofcoarse easy becuase I had all the passwords used, recovery, pins and some billing numbers, so I would get it back instantly :p
But yea its was fun back in the day when you could scam in the game. Now it seems like theres no danger in the game. I miss it :(

yeah, runescape are dead!

some words u cant write what u think, only can write auto-msg

i neever see it on a game!

Scamming is fun:) Especially swapping rune for iron :)

The graphic isnt the best :p

Oh well, auto the game as it comes ;)

I have been playing runescape since late 2003 till now, took a few breaks in between, but one thing is that Jagex's latest endeavors have killed a lot of the game. Though it did bring new additions, that "Excitement" of when a swarm attacks a guy who is AFK wearing a partyhat, is gone, among many other things.

I don't think so. There are still communities existing for it and when people quit, they come back, like I did.. hah

BIG GRAVE DIG??

ya def not as much fun… I tried to give a friend some armour so we could go train together and I couldn't even figure out how to give him anything

Yeah it still ois run by them. Stupid Fagsex made it anti scamm. GRRRRRR

i remember way back when… there was a reason to high alch at edgevil… a reason to go to falador world 2… i think the one thing that i miss most was pking. nothing will ever make up for pking. ive just started back into rs six months after december 11

i use to love rs when pkn was here

Lure ftw :(
made around 100m?:confused:

From: OmgThatOne
I fled to WoW
Then came back
Then fled again
And am back again :P
I think that this is better than WoW in some ways..
Cheaper for one
Lol.
I think WoW>RS in most ways
But I'd still prefer to play RS :)

Lol me and my friends always go through that phase, wow is boringgg ok lets go play runescape, a few weeks later, sht i wanna play wow man wtf did we waste the last 3 weeks doing??? And then we ceased to play RS for along time, and then now WELCOME TO SMART you can play wow and auto:D it doesnt work for my friends but it seemed to work for me with most games up.

Yes wow>rs imo but sometimes runescape has more to offer when it comes to variety, your not stuck with combat and such, but im a competitive person and now with wildy gone I prefer WoW always basically.

For those trying to find a free subsitute i reccomend checking out a game called ijji gunz

PS. yes ik this post only addreses to some of the first posts in this thread awhile ago, thats all i bothered to read:P

I played alot of games, trying to find a alternative to runescape. I failed, once you get to level 70 on WoW, it sucks. Most games out there are nothing but Korean grinding games. Which suck

Lol at the shark fisher.

Yeah i too recently started playing Rs again. After finding out about all the new things that happend: Grand Exchange bounty hunter, etc. I didnt care. That was until my freind tried to give me a few hundred k and he couldnt!! Yeah i found it pretty stupid. After a while i realized i had to make my own money which i ended up doing and i got that sense of accomplishment. Lol it felt good =P.

runescape is dead, but i think macroing will be dead soon as well, jagex is getting so tired of it, they might just quit runescape.

RUNESCAPE SUCKS

*cough* World of Warcraft *cough*

ur all wrong… Counter Strike 1.6 :P

but i admit… rs is GAY now… but something about it… i still go on… like i have to… I think im gonna sue jagex for making their game to addicting :(

While I do agree that the decision to neuter our PKing ability was completely wrong, I think that the GE is a positive thing for RuneScape. It makes it so much easier to buy and sell; no more waiting around spamming for hours trying to find your Rune kite, or 1000 cooked lobbies. It certainly has changed how people merchant, but if you know what you are doing you can make as much, if not more, than what you made before the updates, and with much less effort.

yeh back a few years ago i used to make at least 100k a day by overpricing but now no-one buys so i gotta sell for the 'fixed price' :(

I agree with you mostly when you say "runescape is dead". I don't enjoy playing it as much as I used to. However, autoing still is fun :)

As for those who are looking for new games, buy WARCRAFT 3, not THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT. It's currently my favorite real time strategy game to play, because the modding abilities on maps is huge! The one map, Defence of the Ancients, is more popular than the original game itself now!

Queso, your right, wc3 is an awesome game…. But I really dont think runescape is dead, cause if you play the game, you will see all the lil kids who are loving every single thing fagex does

I've played Runescape since the classic days. What made it so special for me was the fact that you could do almost anything and mainly I've always been a PK at heart.

It really does suck that they've been taking away the freedom that we have. By setting the value of items with the introduction of the GE and completely taking away the whole trading aspect they have made the game way less enjoyable than it had been.

Along with that there is the whole BH / staking thing… I mainly PK'd and staked. I really don't think BH would be so bad and would be more enjoyable if it wasn't a SMALL freakin circle lol :duh:.

Even after all this I still play, I don't know why. I assume even after all those changes it's still the only game with a decent skilling system that is non linear which you are placed into a class.

The wilderness was meant to be a place where you feel "unsafe", but now that there's no player killing there it seems too … pussy-whipped?

OK, this is my views and my solution.
1. JAGEX ARE FUCKING RETARDS.

2. WHEN THEY GO BANKRUPT, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BRING PK AND TRADE
SYSTEM BACK.

3. THE GAME IS OK RIGHT NOW BUT COULD BE WAAY BETTER.

The Solution.

If alot of people stop playing runescape. Jagex will start to use there brains. But its impossible for everybody to stop playing because there addicted FUCK heads.

Thats why i stopped playing and make Jagex open there eyes and sniff the dust in there bank account.

Thank you.

i agree with you guys that Jagex has ruined the game of selling noobs stuff for over price and buying it for under price….

From: Rsnerdx

The Solution.

If alot of people stop playing runescape. Jagex will start to use there brains.

Over 50k people either quit, or stopped paying for members after the PK updates, people will keep playing anyways, & new people will join.

runescape is just fucking addicting idk why lol but thanks to Narcles Autofighter (and his fast fighter) i went from 49 to 100+ combat without playing!! but im not really bragging because my 104 main got banned..and my new main is on a 10 day ban because i ran the bot 20 hours a day..

and yeah can someone please PM me and confirm that they are bringing pking back? I heard some stories but im not sure..

and one more thing..is the second time u get caught botting a ban? PM me please.

and uh…summoning was a complete failure it only made the game more gay. runescape is so anti social its not even funny..thats why games like WoW and ragnarok are a lot more cool because u can sit and chat with teenagers that are your age not some 9-12 year old kid mining coal for 10 hours a day just so he can make a couple hundred k. Im just mad i didnt find this forum anytime sooner because i wasted way too many hours actually lvling on runescape when i could have been getting 250k xp a night while I sleep or party lol. and i also found out anything u say to kids in rs will get you reported lol. I swear i said stuff that wasnt bad at all and gotten reported several times so now i just dont talk to people anymore lmao..no point

I remember the times you could sell things in bulk for more money, because it was convinient for the buyer, but now you can't, sucks

rs is gay, lame, boring…etc i miss pking and all the glitches in bh. they just recently removed the glitch where u can leave and come back to loot. made me just quit bh and rs…im glad though cause now all can do is profit from the game…sell my cash and account and move on

hmmmm, just recently getting back into it.
I guess my views will have to wait a bit here.

well what am doing is mod halo 3 lol rs is over kind of for me unless am super duper bored

well for one, yeah it went from capitalism to communism, and i dare u to send them a letter saying just that, for the other they efd up the wild and scrwd my pure over! what good is having a pure when evryone wears rune on that little crater where u can escape so easily, nothing! i cant hit now cuz they wear armor, and yes its bs…….

From: Richard
Its a business, they are doing it to make money, not to make people like them. They don't give a shit what we think about the game, as long as we play it. If they only concentrated on rs, they wouldn't make as much money, not as much advertising space/members. So they need to do both to make more money. Its just a business, designed to make money, not for others enjoyment.

true yet not…look at RSC they are maken measly money there, they could make a lot more by reopening it but they don't

~Max

Jagex ruined autoing adn the game itself…

I agree with most of the things said in this thread.. I still am bitter especially about taking away wilderness.. whats the point of having exceptionally good stats if you cant use them? Sure theres bounty hunter but that's just a badly designed minigame to entertain the pkers who are still playing but u cant even compare that to wildy. One wonders what the fuck is keeping all these players in RS?? quests - lol. getting 99 stats - most likely, but why?

To me this game (especially in RSC) was always about getting better combat stats so I could pwn wildy either alone or with friends. Now the only thing left of that is some artificial minigames. Yet i keep autoing in the hope that they fix wilderness back one way or another…

Sorry if i went a bit offtopic.

bounty hunter, fist of guthix, duel arena = *****

bounty hunter: Stupid targets and 180 second no tele time.
fist of guthix = no risk
Duel arena, max input 3k.

Boring ;)

GE is the oly + mark

Well there will be PvP thing, like in RS classic, so its cool, but prices has gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

Good post, i agree everything u said on your post. But RS isnt dead, because we auto .. :D

I havent been on rs in like 4 months. right after those crappy updates.

rs to me is pretty much dead.

Loach, i thuroughly enjoyed reading your post because it was literally my thoughts.
Nova, FLMAO
all, welllll. Richard was right. we'd have to get several hundered thousand people to quit and not get anyone new to pay for members for several months, then maybe someone who might be partially related and/or friends with a third cousin of a Fagex fileclerk will listen.
We are here to spite Runescape. How dare they ruin our game and our economy so lets flood them with rotten goods and bad xp and get the noobs to join us. well that's not how i see these communities. think wider. we are LEARNING. whether it be java, delphi, c, cpp, html, php, javascript, forums coding, etc. etc. we are learning things that [not to make jagex look good] we would never have done without this stupid little game and its stupid little creator. I myself have decided what i'm going to specialize in and learn about in college mostly because of wanting to make a better game and code better autoers. some of you chickens may leave this site after a few days of getting pissy over jagex, but those of us that are willing to stay are going to be building your games in a few years, and your computers and your software whilst you do what? complain that you don't like it? sit on your ass and cry? stop posting bullshit whiny threads like this and go learn how to live your life. oh, and for those few who are too rich to be bothered with making a living, f**k off and remember that your money will be mine someday.

i liked writing that. it makes me feel better inside :f: while i'm at the smiley bin :stirthepot: :stirthepot:

RS is not dead! If it were dead, then this great community wouldn't be so active anymore. People are still botting / autoing, we've just changed our goals; we're not going for the money anymore, but for the exp. Many people still love to beat the system and get high ranked in a game like this by doing nothing.

For me the game got better. Never loved wildy and rwt wasn't for me either.

Ye, was talking on IRC with Rune_Hacker & was asking for the prices of some stuff I remembered… almost all things are significantly worth less now….

Well they are going to bring back old school pking but w/o the drops to avoid RWT =)


The aim is for PvP content that better replaces the old Wilderness, but without reintroducing RWT.

Hopefully, you&#8217;re already aware of the imminent Clan Wars release (see the September Behind the Scenes in a couple of weeks for more information), but there are also plans afoot for the most exciting and "old school" PvP update we have ever considered &#8211; unique PvP worlds.

As many of our long term players know, in the old RuneScape Classic days you could actually fight players just outside the gates of Lumbridge, before the days of duelling and even before the days of the old Wilderness itself. Players could hunt each other down, chasing them away from favourite resource points and generally "owning" large areas of the map.

So, in 2008, we will be bringing you special 'PvP worlds', where you can fight other players almost anywhere! In addition to all the usual content you might expect to find in RuneScape, they will also include:

Optional sign-up &#8211; choose between PvP danger or stick to ordinary play by simply switching worlds.
High danger with items dropped on death.
High rewards for kills. To avoid any RWT issues the reward for a successful PK will be generated by the game, similar to when you kill a monster at the moment. We're creating generous drop tables based on factors like your levels and the impressiveness of the kill.
These drop tables will include "PvP world specific" items like XP-modifying gear, lvl 70+ equipment and new, glorious, short-term but hard hitting gear. These will once again make PKing a viable source of income.
PvP across 99% of the world, including the old Wilderness.
Attack any player within a certain level of your own. Level range depends on the area, similar to the old Wilderness levels.
…And all sorts of other twists on interesting content… Just think of the possibilities when you can PK anywhere!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y29cDyemV6U in this video replace drugs with autoing/cheating and replace your liberties with the free atmosphere of the game, and replace the government with Jagex.

I sometimes wonder why Jagex are so concerned with the economy of runescape (they destroy tradeable holiday items (they should make it so it is very difficult to get one, you have to play a good while in order to achieve just one or enough so that you cannot hoard them)) I got why they work to stop autoing, but please don't make the economy a dictatorship.

Oh well, I will just keep autoing regardless of how things are, at least now I feel like I'm not doing something against someone that I respect to much, though in reality Jagex is just another business trying to get by, and runescape will never die unless Jagex dies with it, hopefully it will be ported to a video game system someday, when they can handle MMORPGs, hopefully I don't have to start a new account.

Personally, i liked RS before the updates, then i got bored and quit. Now when i come back, the updates are all fucked up. Ok graphics are better, there this new G.E thing that makes trading easier, but omfg it fu**ing sucks now. Jagex: use your brains once in a while? plz! .. just found out where BH, Clan wars, Fist of Guthix and the Duel arena. everything but the Clan wars sucked! the fist of guthix was ok but too easy. Clan wars should have had a betting window, where each clan has X amount of players, and they bet something like 30k against eachother, whoever wins gets to share the money. not perfect but theyd find a way to make it work. Sry for offtopic btw.

O well i used to not like autoing much, but since its so boring, why spend time on this dang game. Im just gonna auto an army to lvl 80 combat and give to couple friends so we can rule when this new pk'ing thing comes back :stirthepot:

P.S: 3k trading?? Omg they have less brains then i thought :mad: O well i guess im gonna have to join the dark side (Srl-Forums Scripting) :D ill try to make some scripts once i even understand how to start one :P // Oglokes

Jagex is slowly weeding f2p out. It is making f2p not worth playing while carpet bombing members with new stuff so they don't complain when they don't have f2p players to exploit.

Them screwing with the wildy hurt alot

I was members but i got hacked , than jagex said that wasn't his problem , and i've lsot 1 month of membership … Anyway Runescape is ruinescape now , but i can tell anything else , im too addicted to this game … and now i will autobot fro get back the money i've lost.

As you can see I've been a member here for a while now. But quit and now am back again. The limits are so crippling. I gave a lot of valuables to a second account to open up inventory space. Now I cant get that back, plus can't get stuff my friends want to give me.

The good thing that came out of this is that I now try to level my self instead of making money. I'll worry about that later.

I agree with this topic. Runescape has definately worsened.

I don't think Runescape is dead at all, and I actually support the Grand Exchange. Its a boatload of convenience…

thanks to rsbot i havent had to pay chineese people or do it my self i have a life i want to keep it jagex dosent want me to lol and wiht the new pvp wrolds its gona be almost revived (i hope)

i totaly agree runescape was killed the first day they remove wildeness evryone quit and a lil after they add trade limit and like 40% of player of runescape quit..

do u really have to exploit the players not knowin prices to get money? theres plenty of great scripts here to help ya make money.

also they plan on havin pkin worlds soon keep ya chin up

the game is not dead if you play it as a skiller

i couldnt agree more, i made money so that i could pk, which was for fun. but now i cant pk and i cant make money. hmm why do i play runescape?

I still remembering ripping off noobs. It was so fun without the trade limit. I could also merchant then.

Bounty hunter tbh ..

I remember in classic when you could 3 hit newbs… oh times have changed.

Its kind of good i think…


I always selt for like, 10% of the original price :P

…i totally agree…i played runescape but that they removed wild was the last drop and i left…right now i play runescape just for money making purpuse
EDIT:AHH it showed me you have to wait 60 sec before posting again and i waited and posted and now i have 2 posts >.< Plz mercy T.T could an admin delete this one please?

ya I do consider it a gift… Now can kill all around…. nothing like bringing classic back… but does give a certain sense of awesomeness to the update….if you want to call it that.

Every body is excited about the new update but it is just another Jagex update that I perdict will make the game more like communism, just like trade limits and the Grand Failure did. There has to be somthing in it that makes the game more sucky, that's just how rs updates work.

Yeah, i feel the same way

I liked when you could scam people :p

But anyway i dont know why jagex doesnt give people of their game what they want, itll make em happy

I remember when runescape died hardcore.. I was pking in edgeville… Went to bed at like 2AM after a system update.. Woke up, logged into World 18. Wilderness was gone….

Ever since then, I just autoed everything, because I can, and BH is alright when you can dominate it.

Yea i keep going from wow to runescape wow to runescape. Its getting ridiculous.

If/When Jagex members see this, they'll be rubbing their hands together and smiling gleefully.

chill out guys, complaining is not gonna help

I wouldn't say its 'Dead' but its getting close. The trade limit. That was the worse update i say they did. The PvP worlds. Horrible.Every update they have done. Has either had a Problem or is Horrible.

I want old wildy and trade back,most trade!

Dont we all? The old trade system will never come back. The reason to put a trade limit was to stop RWT's (Real World traders.) Doing this caused a massive drop in Memberships. One in every Three people, either stopped there membership or didnt get a new one when it was up. Three in every five people. Quit runescape. what Jagex thought would happen is if they brought back a type of PvP system they would get members. This failed. Badly. The PVP according to people. Made MORE people quit. Cause of it being so bad and all…The old wilderness will also never return cause that also helped RWTs Get there money from one account to another. But see they thought it would stop there. But it didn't RWT's can easily trade there money over by useing Bounty hunter. So in the end all that work was pointless.

You could always go on Runescape and send a email to a Jagex Member. That could help. Talk to them about the problem. Why YOU think it should be returned to the normal way it was.

Kk Cool. (Anyway its late i might head off Lol Cya)

It will be returned to normal, and if its not. "LET'S START A RIOT!!!!"

Thats what i said! "If jagex cant grow a brain to fix this problem. LETS RIOT!" o_o; A riot of about 500 people might get them thinking :]

riotting doesnt do ANYTHING(when has it ever) they really dont care about anyone. the only people that they do sorta care about is members, because ,obviously, there paying them. and they also care about there rules so much there willing on losing literally millions of dollars (to be honest i dont think they knew that many people would quit hahah)

I think the Runescape Economy is fine right now. I mean, sure we have this the ridiculus trade limit but the economy is still influenced by the players.

For example, if enough people with a lot of cash buy something out, there will be less of that item. That means people will be willing to pay more for it and the price on the Grand Exchange will rise accordingly. I have used this system to make a lot of cash from the Grand Exchange.

This proves that the runescape economy is not dead; the players influence it.

I think this would be called investing since it is similar to stocks.

I haven't the time to check whether this has been posted already (exams approaching etc) but I think it should be said that although the general mass can no longer make money off of the less educated players. Those who have a basic knowledge of supply/demand can. With GE merchanting players can now make more money than EVER before… and they can do this while playing about 20 mins a day. I won't go into the details because if you can't figure it out after reading this post you will just grow impatient and not figure out how to do it properly. Good luck.

i think its still fun ^^ the bh is cool.

I fled to more irl things and xbox live mostly, all I do is auto on rs, not worth my time & effort to do anything else.

i hate it too

i quit rs due to the updates aswell i had 11m than when pvp came back i pked and lost it all and quit again =] but now im using Wizzup? essence miner and getting the money back than quitting untill they get Proper old pk back

i remember normal trade. that was good because was merbchanting and PK!!!
now runescape is S..K

Yea, it is a lot different with the new trade system and the G.E. But once you figure it out you can merchant very easily.
I do not enjoy the change but it isn't terrible.

true true

From: kim
Nice list. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm installing Dofus right now. Hopefully shit won't suck.

You should add Cabal to that list. Check it out :D

Yes, this is very true the reason is to stop RWT, and macroing what is stupid because now RWT is done throught bh, what is another stupid think, classic pking,trade limit and drop limit is because of RWT, and RWT is stilling going i was talking to a Gold crown (jagex mod) and she told me there is no way they will bring back classic pking no trade limit and ect, because of the macro will "Ruin runescape" well i said you've ruined runescape there is no pking and no making new pures, she didn't anwser she knew i was correct.

I myself somewhat hate RS but autoing in RS is fun believe me haha :D

I dont enjoy the game as i once did with all the updates. So i started playing WoW and WOTLK killed it for me. 80 was easy and so was raiding. Now i just bot hard and go out.

Runescape is so screwed now, trade-limit stopped botting causing the economy fall i still remembered when i was playing like 2years ago everything was good but now the trade-limit screwed everything up, but on the other hand its anti-ban as you cant hack other players item.

Well, the recent updates have made the economy acting strange. But, it's not only a negative side, for merchanters is it easy to gain cash, cuz the price is going up and down… And that makes ii easy to make cash.

I liked rs like 5 years ago.
Here are the reason I hated rs:
#1 pk is gone
#2 scammer
#3 they banned people for shitty reason
more to come.

Yeah I liked RS to for 5 years ago, but I started for 3 years ago. Here is the reason:

#Wildy is gone

#You can't give so much you want in a trade

I hate the new rs at the same time, i like it.

Wildy Gone
Trade Limit
G.E. (Its ok…)

Im just autoing for exp now……

On the flip side.
Items are cheaper
Easier to bot with SRL

I came back after a year of break and I think the game is still ok. Some games like fist of guthix is fun.

GE is also great too. Allows for trading with junks.

yeh , i know the economy of rs is really massed up

I dont enjoy the game as i once did with all the updates. So i started playing WoW and WOTLK killed it for me. 80 was easy and so was raiding. Now i just bot hard and go out.

80 was easy?! Man, when I played WoW I could barely get to level 70. It just takes way too long to level up when your about 64ish (thats what I was). I was a hunter too (one of the easiest classes to play). Too hard to level in that game. How did you level so fast? :P

If, RS is about making money, then why did Jagex introduce this stuff about a trading limit and GE.

They did it to stop scammers from scamming people, to many people complained about being hacked, and scammed. But you guys are right it doesn't give them the right to remove most of the enjoyment that existed in the game.

But when they removed pking? Now what happened there, I know its back, but its not like the good old times, killing someone and reaping the rewards was alot of enjoyment, but now its dead!

Anyway, I auto for skill for now, because I cant get the ess auto until some time has passed, but I hope it happens soon, so a can make some money.

I dont know what it is but i switch from rs to another game then rs to another game again and so on, sometimes it just gets a bit boring i guess :( :(

i think that runescape is not for people who want challenge, because runescape really is not skill-requiring game, unlike WoW.

If you want challenging raids and teamplay, go for wow. if you want easy and stress-free gameplay, rs is OK. If i had more money id still play wow. i used to… i had 2 lvl70, but when Burning Crusade came, wow was pretty messed up.

i miss those 40 man raids…

RuneScape is for who WANT challenge. + RuneScape is a history game. It's a real history game not like WOW. In WOW you can have MC's and that, I think it's a little bit crazy. You can't have guns but MC's(h)

Back in the day when varrock was full of macros, people were mostly happy. Scammer with 1 mill, when then took off like 990k, made art. Macros, were also art lovers. You could buy gold any time, you could give few millz to your pure, who then lost them to aprons or pink's. It was wonderful time. No lagging because Rs was so simple, and you could plays it wiht 10 years old computer. Times when I was running after a member with initiates and g maul and trying to get 500gp. I miss them so much. I barely had 2k in cash, no potential in wilderness, but I had fun. When my cb lvl grew to 70, I got memb. I remeber that so clearly: first thing I did, was to buy g maul for like three times the actual price. I was so happy. When I grew out of my newbness, I got tons of cash without doing like anything because of those 12 years old players. Unluckily those times are dead. Maybe it should be time to do something else than RS. I dont really know…

I can't stand the new RS and their updates. I used to play and use scar over 2 years ago. I tried to play and couldn't believe all the ridiculus rules. I mean you can't even stake anymore? Im tired of all the little noobs crying to jagex when they lose their stuff cause they're to dumb to relize it. Any new suggestions on games?

Hmm, you could just quit playing with computer and get a life. Or, you can go to miniclip and waste countless hours of nothing.

lol i wouldnt say miniclip i have never found tht very fun try y8.com awesome website for games :) and now a days all i do is use rsbot nearly got 99 wc by botting for days good money is aswell so since rs screwed up runescape i guess i will piss them off by botting :D

I agree with you and everything evil chicken said is true.

I quit runescape once i got ried of it but once i came back and i saw updates i just simply coudln't stand it….

Autoing is what really makes it fun due to the fact it makes everything funner to do lol.

Also about the economy and the ge = fail

Jagex is slowly killing a once decent (not great) game. But they did what they thought was best, obviously it really wasn't, and if you use a chain scheme, you see that RWT and the such MADE them money…they have fail business ideas tbh but still its not TOO bad, but yeh its generally dying a slow death.

lol if your soo pissed just bot and if you dont have anything to do well your botting why not play a game e.g combar arms? or cod4 etc :D thts how i pass the time lol

Its funny, even with all the people complaining all they have the guts to do is to raise the trade limit a few K. The G.E. is a good idea, only if the players could actually control the prices.

i auto every single day by useing rsbot ammazing programme and if we wall want to be rich theres many ways frist:

1. Auto say you get 1000 yews and you want to sell at GE NEVER EVER EVER EVER SELL OR LOW PRICE OR MEDIUM PRICE ALLWAYS HIGH PRICE SO THEN THE PRICES WILL BE GO UP AND YOUR RICH!!!!.

So if we want to get rich then all the iteams you botted for sell for high price trust me they wont sell in like 2 mins but sells iin 10-20 mins max :D

If i helped you rep will be very nice :D

haha i feel like a geezer now when i talk about the "good old days" to noobs in rs. no trade limit no ge and all… it was funner then the watered down version they have now

Yeah, autoing knocked three bells out of jagex.

– BP

ye i mean runescape will never ever end becuase of bots i use rsbot and check this report i got you will be amazed :P




Ikno amazing :P btw it still went untill 1242 yew logs then dragon random came up :(

Runescape's economy was great back in the day because it was full of 12 year olds who didn't know the value of a gp. Now that market prices are set in stone the economy is too hard to exploit to be worth the effort. So what are people doing today? Where have you all fled to?

not only did those little noobs not know the value of a gp, they'd spend a year getting their money mountain stacked, so that the good pkers like myself and many others cuz just rip it out of their cold noobish hands and laugh as we sold their whips, and other valuables, man i miss the old days =(

new rs sucks!!! rsc was the best!

I second that ImProBabe. Too bad Scar wasn't used back then, I'd be all maxed out on the skills without the nasty randoms to deal with and other various things. Back then, we had it easy.

Back then everything was harder.

i would say old runescape was good, because you could help your pals, or help beginners (n00bs) buy lending a few gp, what they did to the GE and the trades sure took the fun out of law running, and merchanting, but i still like to say i like the latest one more, even with the Ge and trading update

Runescape is still good game but pvp worlds and bh fail.

as long as people buy subscription… Runescape wont come close to dying.

its when people stop autoing or people stop producing things is when Runescape dies.

Jagex completely ruined a great game with the trade limits and how they've set values for everything.

Grand Exchange on it's own is a great idea, but it should let you set your own value for what you're selling. Runescape is obselete now that you cant rip-off all the noobies.

ahhhh the good old days. selling phats for 100k each…..i miss those days :(

But yeh, the GE is much MUCH easier to sell and buy with however it kind of changed the whole game. I liked it better before that HUGE update.

GE did mak eit much easier to trade, but alot harder to get more money like you used to. Especially the limit thing they put on trading with other people. That gets quite annoying most of the time.

Jagex can't just change the game… I don't understand what they were thinking. The thing that makes it unique makes you play it, and thats what made everyone play rs before.
And suddenly they completely change pvp system.

This is madness! because everyone that played it before will get effected. I were checking the forums on rs and I didn't see any votes or anything.

Its okay to upgrade something! but not remove and remake something…
Seriously old runscape you were like: wilderness :). now this is like wow pvp system.
They suddenly come to you and say: "IN YOUR FACE BITCH". and change the game :confused:
And their system for trade limit, I believe people auto more now then before.

Yeah, the only reason I got into autoing is because it is hardly worth playing anymore. Back then WE controlled the RS economy. It was almost life like. There were the scams, the people who were legitimate, and the idiots in which we ripped off. (Yes, we scammers were great). I remember when you would fight to get into world one and scout through all the offers. It was like a mini marketplace out behind the Varrock west bank. If only Jagex didn't screw everything up.

I think Jagex can care less about what you guys think.

Limiting trade stopped almost all Real World Trading and stopping most from botting.

hey if i could kill 2 birds with one stone, i'd do it.

and the GE makes it easy to control prices.

sure it limits most people from playing but it seems to help Jagex in lots of ways.

(i still wish they would take it out soon)

Tbh, I think the GE helped me make much more money. Merchanting these days have never been easier through the Grand Exchange. Join Merchant Clan chats to get easy money by merchanting.

one prob with GE merchin is you can't scam :p

i agree with rs economy being totally jacked up. i remember the days of staking/pk'ing to make money. when they died, so did rs.

I find threads like these both idiotic and pointless for various reasoning:

• The economy has been ruined - The economy has been placed in the hands of the people who would have still been able to manipulate prices just as before, if your wealth is enough you can take a vital role in the economy - It just takes more time and a bit of common sense and marketing knowledge now that figures, statistics and initial pricing has been added to the game. Not to mention to obvious exiting of money-method scamming such as the unknown item price scams.
• Player killing - There are still methods that allow users to effectively player kill, dependant on different variables rather than just waiting for someone to roll up in armour you want, the new system is dependant on your location, your equip wealth and the danger or time you have been in a set area. I prefer this as previous methods could involve someone just walking straight out of the bank, jumping over a wilderness ditch and attacking someone with an overpowered weapon straight away and getting their full items. If this was still in play (The uneven methods for gaining items upon death of opponent), issues in my first point could be easily played upon.
• New CEO - I personally believe that with the new CEO of JaGeX you can be expecting more rapid changes and development, the new CEO was a part of the jagex development team for quite a while and possibly played key roles in the parts of the game that you currently hate, or love. Either way your current outlook on Runescape and all JaGeX products might be changed, or enhanced upon in the next few revisions or monthly updates.

I know how you feel. First big mistake was removing wildy and then to top it off a gay3k limit :(

I love the new Grand Exchange system.
It allows you not to get scammed by some idiot feeling the lusts overwhelming him.
I'm also earning great money on Lobsters atm :D

RS=dead without wilderness. Balance between the gods is basically gone. Saradomin pwned Zamorak for now…

Grand Exchange is lovely but removing wilderness fucked up whole runescape. Also trade limit.

I agree with Jagex, the change had to be made. They are not being like, "Oh ya i'm going to piss all those members off today and make a trade limit, Muhahahahahaha" nothing of that happened. If they would not have changed runescape there would be worse problems. Yes I liked old runescape better also, but they had to make a change.

I like the new version of rs , but i miss old wilderness.

Meh, I think runescape is fine as it is.

Runescape used to be great (played for 7 1/2 years and I am still playing) until JaGeX screwed it up. I hate the fact that you cannot merchant like you used to before. I mean sure being scammed was horrible but taking out the wilderness and RWTing was horrible. JaGeX fairly deserved to lose part of their business (i.e players quitting) for being such idiots…

Runescape isn't dead its just… changed for the worst. It might soon die if stupid changes that just make gameplay more tedious and boring continue but with a new CEO at Jagex I think Runescape fans can look foward to a "delayed" death or end to Runescape.

You should respect Jagex, for making a game for us to auto in. I am not too happy with the "improvement" of the Wilderness. I hate the trade limit. The new CEO at jagex isn't a big change. All the new updates that makes it harder for us to Auto have are both, good and bad. Bad for all you leechers who want to auto(NOOBS) all the time without even looking at scripting tutorials. Good for all the scripters _developers_ for it gives us a more challenging aspect to scripting.

Runescape has it's pros and cons but, i guess in the end it's still an alright game.:)

I fucking hate the trade limit, i can't do anything good now. I mean, what's the point in a bot army if i cannot give the money to my main, who got banned for rule 7…. but what about my "other" main who isn't banned

i think jagex did ruin alot of the gameplay reguarding me ripping people off and stuff but thats just me ive only been playing since like the christmas crackers and h ween masks came out.

I still Like To PK in PVp Its fun as hell!

personally i think that runescape was ruined when the grand exchange came out and the trade cap was made.
