Make the originals tradable and any re-releases untradeable? Bob says:
A bank PIN will keep your items secure.
Always check the second trade screen.
Never trade in the Wilderness!
Keep your computer keylogger-free and virus scanned.
Never give your password out to anyone.

In addition, the current vault of riches promo needs to be rereleased next month to curb the prices of hall of fame walk override token. Ideally made available for oddments, or we could release the promo again.

Zombie walk was rereleased. Now we need the other promos next. Hopefully assassin walk is next.

They should do this before this new walk.
The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.

Rerelease the following Treasure Hunter Promos:

Plague Doctor, Walk like a Zombie, New Year's Resolutions, Facelesss Assassins and Tribal Trials.

These events had pretty hard tasks and need a return to put a hard stop to the ridiculous prices walk tokens are at right now. 12b for a zombie walk? Absurd.

These walk tokens aren't true discontinued rares and thus wouldn't affect or even hint at a rerelease of phats.

No no no no no no no no no no NO

This is highly disrespectful to players who have already obtained the drop, to see it released like nothing, back into the game. Now everyone owns the assassin walk. RIP my style. RIP my individualism. RIP my original value to the content released initially. I wanted that assassins walk at the time, sooo.. I got it, I got lucky, very lucky but this would devalue my luck that I had, alongside my originality of my character. If you weren't playing at the time of the release of the item, you shouldn't get a chance to get the item if it's a discontinued, intentional rare. The diversion of intentional actions by a spontaneous move is disrupting players. It might make Jagex more money, but you're making me disappointed on the moral values of a game. This is an MMO not some random short-term game you can hop onto and get everything for free. Preserve the history. There's a lot that goes into this:

#1 respect
#2 individualism
#3 history
#4 morals
#5 luck
#6 value

All in favor of

#1 "so what" AKA carelessness
#2 money or greediness
#3 unfairness
#4 devaluation
#5 everyone is equal mentality
#6 everyone should have access

It doesn't sound very good from this standpoint, but this is exactly how players are feeling, at least to some extent. I'm sure there are players who can agree with me on some of this at least.

Okay, let me explain something from my nerdy love for this game.

When I saw the broken heart amulet released and didn't get it. I still always wanted it. That desire integrates into my love for the game. The fact that I valued that thing to where I would think about it from time to time how I missed out on it, brings my awareness to a VALUE for the game.

Now, rereleasing the broken heart amulet... I finally got it! Do I like it as much anymore? No, because I see everyone with it. So now, it's become significantly less valuable across the board.

Next, if something NEW came along, a new amulet, like a frozen heart amulet, beaming off cold hearts, like a cold-hearted amulet, and I GOT IT! .. then, THEN, all of a sudden, this thing has more value than the broken heart ammy because people with the broken heart ammy dont have the frozen heart amulet. So, I used to envy that thing, now they envy me? but they still have their value... its a Win-Win.

This thing, to release all these items out again, like they're nothing is a Win-Lose or win/lose. You don't want to have a "lose" in the equation. You're making some people happy, but in doing so, you're messing up a lot of feelings. My feelings are hurt. Yes, I maybe wouldnt say it like that but thats what this is doing. The little kid in me is like "what the hell man" and my little kid friends are laughing at me and throwing the item in the trash.
