In short, the GE is the worst content update to ever hit Runescape because it devalues every aspect of the game and makes Runescape's endless expanse of content unappealing to ever get involved in other than the sake of raising that number to 99.

Having resources and items more difficult to come by encourages players to explore these branches of content themselves - not for the sake of a number, but because it actually means something on their journey.

Having everything spoon fed to you like some incompetent baby doesn't promote game play at all.

Ok,

Those of you who can't or will not "read" here's the point of bringing back the G E...


It is impossible to bring back something that never was. Grand Exchange was never in the original Old School Runescape servers !!


Stop calling it old school servers.

As you said you ment 2003- early 2007 or late not very sure anymore.

And yes there was never such a thing as old school servers back in the days.


When OLD SCHOOL Runescape was released, it did not have the grand exchange. Noob.


Of course it didn't have the Grand Exchange when old school started out! You are talking as if this old school server we are playing now was even back then! But you are saying that you ment the years before 2003-and late/early 2007. So i am quite confused O_o


OFC you are confused you are an idiot go play RS3

LAZINESS?? Jesus christ, are you serious???? It's nothing to do with being lazy, it's about grinding skills. I'm a skiller, I'm not supposed to use all of my free time to sell my stuff so i can afford skilling some more...

Yes, laziness. As a skiller you don't realize that this will inflate every single aspect relative to every single skill? Skilling will be less profitable down to the simplest of ways just selling logs or raw fish.
I'm a skiller too, part of it is knowing where and how to sell your product quickly. Typically, people used to set up a connection while they were skilling so they'd have someone ready to pay their product immediately. Try that

When GE was just fresh the first time around I turned about 1m into 12m+ simply by buying 10 dragon boots every night and selling them the next morning. Everyone can make profit off of the GE you just need a simple mind.


You just illustrated one of the main issues with the GE. Thanks. I'm not sure if you understand economics, even in an environment where money is virtually infinite, not everyone is able to make a profit. How many people do you think lost money?
