wait, was this really discussed by jagex in a youtube video or something?


No lol. They said the prices were out of control...they mentioned this and prices drop 50%.

I was able to sell my rares and buy back 40% more due to this lol. They made it easier for the wealthy players to tighten the control on the market even more.

Several posts flaming another user, rather than discussing the thread's topic have been removed.


wasn't flaming anyone, but okay. the fact you're letting atlantis and established fight back and forth over something petty amazes me and yet i'm the one who's silenced for no reason. cool.

We are moving on MangaFreak, the toxic behaviour is not needed. Please moving forward, avoid attempting to manipulate and create conspiracy theories

If you want to discuss something, go ahead, if you'd like to share your wishes go ahead, but don't say it's something Jagex WILL implement to attempt to create panic

This goes to everyone. Have a nice day

Just a thought, but a long time ago, Jagex allowed players to have their accounts unbanned for a fee.

If they did this again..

Pro's


* Jagex will make a ton of money

* There will be a healthy number of items coming back into the economy frequently, but not too many, depending on how much it costs to get accounts restored.

* More players will return to RuneScape.

Cons


* People may return and continue to break rules

-

The way this could work, is that players would be able to apply to get their accounts unbanned for a fee, through the appeal system. They would only ever be able to do this once.

* The amount of time that has passed since their offence could be taken into consideration,
since people grow and change over time.

* The severity of their original offence.

* If they genuinely show remorse.

The reason this ended in the first place, as i recall, was because people would get banned for botting, then continue to bot once they got their accounts restored. Botting has since died off as you never really see main accounts botting anymore, due to the OP detection systems in place.

^ now that is an actual good idea. I have had an account banned when I was inactive for around 4 years. Someone hijacked it and used it for scamming apparently. Had 2b total exp on it too and this was 5 to 6 years ago. It also had some rares on it as well I believe.

And yes not many bots at all on rs3 anymore. They all went to osrs. It's like 50 percent of the players are bots on there.

I don't think that I can support the re-introduction of the original colors to any capacity. Yes, many holders of the hats nowadays may be manipulating the prices heavily, but it's still an end-game goal for many; but with everyone having one, the appeal on discontinued holiday items is then essentially worthless; i.e. Golden PartyHats.

If Jagex really wants to continue to expand the market within that area, there's plenty of other colors left that sure, could be brought through MTX for a limited time towards only specific, harder to achieve criteria.

Overall, I think whatever an employee may propose on a stream or a social media post has yet so many more hurdles to overcome before it's put into play. In other words, I cannot see this ever happening :P .

If we're wanting to buy an end game goal with runecoins/irl cash, can we add profound armor

set/halos with it then? Would be awesome to not spend months of time in game to earn it

rather than to simply pay to win. Thinking about it, profound takes longer than a phat to get

especially with dead content only active during spotlight. This game has changed alot in the

past years and with the younger generations coming up, it's a rushed gameplay with most. If

something takes "too long" to get we'll complain. Prices been manipped for years. And if

inflation is just manipped, why does jagex keep raising prices of all mtx every couple of

months "due to irl inflation". Might aswlel make the whole game pay 2 win more than it

it already is. Let me runecoin a max cape aswell at this point too shoot lol.

Jagex aren't jagex anymore, their the highest bidder, in this scenario, players get pillaged for income to in turn resell jagex, this isn't a subscription only game. Jagex needs to promise it won't be sold for profit again or you'll find you'll be paying pointless sums to them just because the Gower's sold up
The Gower's ruined the game by selling it, it's changed hands multiple times for profit
Fk pixels jagex owners make irl in same way nasty manips do
All manipulation is the same as jagex themselves
Jagex owns the only party hat, and they manip it themselves

i wasn't being toxic, but okay. you're literally getting upset over something so silly and dumb. that's why i told you to breath. it's just a game. i never said anything towards you that would be considered flaming. and i never said any of this was going to be implemented nor am i trying to cause any panic so don't put words in my mouth. thank you, have a nice day.

But I mean, we've all had fun playing the game.

The game has always been about hype. Phats were just about getting in early, before they went up. Jagex has actually done an amazing job, in at least some ways, of keeping the game relevant. I dunno if the smithing rework was good or bad, but that was some serious work. The quests are amazing. The PvM system might have been better if kept more the old way, but there's a lot of effort there.

We're, in a way, lucky the game is still around.
