why does it cause them to be untradeable?

lets take example a wand that i use a dye on ,,, why shouldnt i be able to trade it if the other person who gets it and he/she doesnt like the color they should be able to change the color to suit their desires.

i have never understood why the color changes makes it not tradable

i see what your saying but that takes it to a max stupidity


how so? its keeping the weapon and the dye out of circulation, so they dont become worthless.

i dont see how thats stupid, its actually rather clever. simple but clever

item sinks are important for the game, this one does it too high end gear. and the dyes themsevles. win win win

because what if i love the color green and i wanted a green wand to match my outfit but wanted to upgrade to a high level ( tier 80 +)

and if you had one but did not need it because you upgraded,, why shouldn't you be able to trade it to me,

its still in the game its still performs the way it should and its a win win for both of us,, i did not say i should pay a cheaper price, if i had enough to buy the dye and the wand then i really dont care if i pay the normal price for the item even if its a combined price,

so if i am willing to pay full price for DYE and WAND combined then how does it cheapen the value??

now if your discussion turns towards the coinage removal then holy bat crap batman,, there are a ton of ways to get rid of excess in game gold thru other means,

need a suggestion on how to accomplish in game coinage? make all bosses a total loss of items upon death ( no buy back items upon death) after player x has had "x" successful defeats of the boss that way they will rethink about farming major bosses over and over again,

,


because supply and deman, you are reducing the supply by having it untradeable

its just economics.

I dyed my own fsoa that came with timeweaver, and its the first thing I have ever been overwhelmed with the desire to dye, and its barrows, because its a gorgeous pale gold. Afaik it does have one tactical consideration worth note: its got a fixed lower value related to item kept on death cost.

If I ever got to vote on it... Not only would it be untradeable, but it'd become a bound item that I could always get back from like Diango or some new NPC. I mean... how endgame is the staff that killed Guthix? I aint ever sellin it.
I have quit rsof because moderator found comments about darklight bonus damage on demons "off topic" for wildy flash mobs full of demons
