Alright, I started Runescape in 05-6? haven't played since maybe 07-08, when i started to lose interest in the game, because of all the limits on things you could do, and also other personal interests.
It wasn't till today that I heard about this "free trade, wilderness" thing. I've only logged in to get in on the discussion.
Personally, I'd prefer it back, all back. Looking at the Runescape community, before the major changes in the economy, I really gotta say, that the Runescape community had sort of a, let's say culture, and was much more diverse in terms of people, and how they looked at and played the game. Runescape had a closer tied community, which made it more of a at home feeling' rather than the more manufactured, and strict gameplay now.
Let's take a look at some of the problems that are proposed.
Scammers.
- I've been scammed before, when i just started the game, but that was my own fault. When i signed up for a membership, there was a page of good things about Runescape, such as life lessons. Maybe not so much as it's a game, but many things do relate to real life situations. People need to learn to be smarter, and you learn through mistakes. I believe that we need to be treated more as adults, despite the younger community of Runescape; it will improve gameplay and people will learn to be more independent on the spread of knowledge.
Bots and RWT(real world trading)
- Here's one area that i really did not understand, and if someone could explain to me, that would be appreaciated. As i understand, long story short, botters would make money, and sell the gold for real life money to clients. Now why is this hurting Jagex directly? I can see the economy being afftected to a larger degree, if it was spread more widely, but i've always seen RWT as more of an underground thing, but thats just me. If someone can explain to me why it was such a problem that needed to be tackled, then I could try and throw in my 2 cents to maybe solve it
