bank bidders didnt make it into game as it was classed as gambling and agant the rules they could of done a workaround and called it accout bidding so ur investing gp into a new alt accout deping on the skills

acample, i invtested 600m on loot dule th to get 1-99 slayer when lamps was 75% off then if accout bidders came with a 99 slayer accout people would mostliky bid 100m-1b as it's ever 600m to key/skip slayer with a good th event or grind for 2-3 mouths give or take.

99 slayer alts good for spirit warrors but takes alot of gp or time to make so most will just invest about 1b on skills skips then about 500m on gear to afk grind 4-5m/h pure profit forever mostliky still take 2-3 mouths before it profits but can be profiting while u work 2nd/3/4/5th n so on

bank bidders be nice if it came back as accout bidders so its less rick and you would invest in what you could afk grind on it .

so uld pay abit more for decent 99 to go afk fish while to boss on main or afk 120s and alt funds them.

The premise of bank bidders was not to necessarily bet on what stats were on the account, but what items were on it. Thus buying those items for an amount and hoping you got lucky and got something of significant value.

there are few thing i would like to see changed in runescape

1.) platinum tokens, basically spirit shards but valued at 1000gp ea and can be exchanged at any bank or ge clerk. also it would be nice to be able to trade them on ge ( also helps with my next idea) being able to trade item trough the ge would make it very diffucult to fake/manip trade without use of photoshop ( u can also no longer sell to yourself)

2.) duel arena tax,
stakes under 100m gp or plat equivalent an 0.25% TAX on total winnings.
stakes under 1000m gp or plat equivalent an 0.50% TAX on total winnings.
staked above 1000m gp or plat equivalant an 1% TAX on total winning.

note: its not longer possible to stake items using this system and both parties are forced to stake the same amount of gp/plat tokens worth in order to prevent xers ( no one likes em)
this would also make partyhats drastically lower in value due to a lot of stakers using them as gold storage. also make stakes have a set preset for all stakes so people cant get scammed anymore and everyone has 99 combat stats

3.) bank bidders, i would love to see this 10000% support

I don't think they should add platinum tokens to rs3 but instead only make spirit shards and cash stakeable in the arena since spirit shards are basically used as cash and making platinum tokens in rs3 would kill spirit shards value as an additional currency.

I think you mean making spirit shard packs stakeable, since spirit shards can already be staked. That being said, making it easier to stake large amounts is not really an issue. I don't think we should be encouraging gambling, if anything add a staking tax like some people suggested.

I also don't think they should try to eliminate the demand for phats from arena, because that might contribute to inflation.

I noticed the company become very uninterested in keeping a balance in the game after the Gower brothers sold it, profit became the first priority. The way this game has changed over the last 10 years is just stupefying. Majority of the problems come form Jagex failing to act I do not blame the employees they are paid starvation wages. It's the upper management that are pressured by the investment fund, that that is in deep debt to drain every penny as the game declines and we lose players. Things won't change because profit is first priority before everything else. If you do a search on google trends for runescape we are at an extremely low level, we are most likely not receiving any new players. This is just an another example of corporate greed ruining a great game as it has done to other sectors of life like healthcare, education etc. The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort.

I think the new currency is extremely needed and the effect will instantly hit the prices of rares. The price will fall back down to prices where people actually want them, instead of just being a form of currency. Granted they wont go back into the ge, but there will be a billions of gp in the difference in price. The staking tax will combat inflation steadily for sure though. Whether people think it's enough is irrelevant since it's better than no tax.

I also disagree with a lack of demand for spirit shards if plat tokens get released. As long as you can freely trade shards with a shop for 25gp, they will always be a smaller currency between plat tokens and gp.
