Jesus Christ **** this community. They should make a separate 2012 server to get rid of these degenerates. If I have to play osrs with 2k people who don't make me want to commit suicide, so be it.
Well, stop playing then. Your kind is the minority and doesn't belong here. You call us degenerates, yet people like you hinder the growth of this game.

I could take this, change "playing" and "game" to something else like "living here" and "country" respectively, and it fits just as well.

It's the same thing, essentially, you're almost being a bigot.

I feel the exact same way man. Hilariously/depressingly accurate.

~Every single resource in the game you can buy, is right there. It destroys the "adventure" aspect of the game, and whether you play it that way or not doesn't change what RuneScape is (or used to be) a fantasy MMO. Fantasy MMOs revolve around the player character interacting with the world.

~Skills are arguably "devalued" in that it takes less work to achieve milestones, namely 99. You may argue that people can just buy raw fish or logs now, and they can, but they have to go to a specific place, often on a certain server or multiple servers, and find someone in the game who has what they need.
With the GE you go to the GE on any server, put in coins and magically have whatever you need.
Tell me, who put more work into a skill, someone who got 99 smithing before the GE or after?

~Player interaction is secondary.
The common joke of "Oh yeah trading is 'player interaction' lol" isn't too far off. Again, this is an MMOR**, what do MMOs revolve around? Maybe not anymore, but it used to be player interaction and it's likely why games like Eve are so popular. Even more modern, it's why DayZ became what it is. Simply put, player interaction is important, and with the GE people just huddle around a magical box for everything in the game and train levels.
----On the same note, a common argument is the GE encourages interactions as people chill out there. Well people do this regardless in various locations around RuneScape so the GE certainly doesn't add interaction, just centralizes, as said above*

**;dr
Kills the economy, hurts the community, and is entirely self serving.

Masterfully put sir.

I'd really like a GE supporter to attempt to respond to this.

"Are the people who constantly complain about the very fundamentals of the game really the ones you want to pander to Jagex? If their attention span is so short and it's so hard for them to find something to do while they're "waiting for a trade" does it really seem like they'll be around for the long haul? I know, since everyone is so pathetically impatient why don't we all just get the ability to generate items? With the mentality that these GE supporters have I'm sure even the time it takes to get to the GE will be far too tedious to bear so just give us item generation powers :D Seriously, you GE supporters are just laughable."

I'm not out to shove my opinions down peoples throats or be pretentious but the way you GE supporters are presenting yourself is just crap. Not once have I seen any valid point made. Only "I don't want to spend time looking for trading so I can do other things". Do you not realize how that makes you sound? Are the people that actually like the game for what it was really not deserving of credit? You're talking about drastically altering one of the biggest fundamental aspects of the game... for convenience?
