During both free trade and limited trade the most a item could gain or loose on ge was plus minus 5%.

Causing panic, or taking advantage of the sale of a brand new item for ridiculous amounts of gp is not what a legitmate player would do.

Creating panic or selling way above what the ge can gain within a reasonable amount of time is just another form of scamming. Ruining the entire game for this..still not buying it..


Selling above or below GE is not scamming, as long as both players agree to the value of the item, and no one is being tricked in any way about the value of the item. The GE is flawed because it does not keep up with actual supply and demand, leaving no choice but to trade outside the GE when the player decided value is so far from the slow responding GE prices they aren't even close to what real supply and demand for an item is. Port armours are a good example, the GE price is 25% to 27% higher than items actually sell for, so the GE is not reflecting actual player supply and demand prices. That just shows the GE needs to adjust faster, it does not mean scamming is going on, although it could be if someone is intentionally misrepresenting what the item is valued at by most players.

I would much rather give up the ability to barrow or lend items than watch this game go down the tubes. All other reasons for free trade can eventually be boiled down to some type of scam. An item does not need to gain more than 300% or loose more than 150% of its current value in a month anyways. The only people who would make a big deal about the limited trade are mainly the people that are cheating and buyin and selling the gold in the first place.

Hey nabu, your right in the context of runescape that bonds will make it easier to buy things, however dont expend a bond to net you 100m GP!


Are you telling me when MMG says bonds are being put in the game so that players can buy gold with bonds that it's not going to work?

In eve you cant buy skills and so you don't really gain any advantage and so it works perfectly.


In runescape players talk about buying 99s. They mean buying resources with gp to get to 99. With bonds, they'll be able to buy resources with money to get to 99.

Pay-to-play is not a good thing.

Using a Bond System provides players an alternative trusted source that is also legal. This makes Bonds a FAR better choice than risking using a gold seller. This unbeatable competition puts a gold seller out of business as he can't compete and he moves on to some other poor MMO.


Jagex is making it easier for players to buy gold. The problem was that too many players bought gold.

I expect fewer players to buy gold from goldsellers, although I'm sure the goldsellers will price their gold to sell. But more players will be buying gold than ever.

There are times when the 5% change in prices of the GE is too slow to adjust to legitimate changes in supply and demand, which ends up with players trading the items outside the GE because the GE prices are so far from what players consider the value the items.

When the majority of players and the GE disagree on prices, the price the majority of players agree on is considered the more accurate price.
