ATM no single person on this game does this....*hi my name is bahha im here to sell you 1k yew longs do you want to be friends?* you add the person for 15 seconds meet at varock and delete them how is this even a valid argument????
His point isn't really "You might make new friends"...
Its the fact that Runescape is NOT a single player game. And when you add in interfaces such as a trading solution it pushes it towards a single player game. I understand some people enjoy playing the game by themselves and that's fine but there needs to be some sort of player interaction for the game to survive. You take that away and the game will slowly die.
The other point people don't consider is that it will ruin the economy. A trading solution just makes it easier for merchants to manipulate prices. All it would take is a few clicks for them to flood or starve the market of some items to drive prices up or down. It might not happen right away but if you add a trading solution it will devalue a lot of skills and resources and in the end make the game less enjoyable.
An MMOR PG is meant to act as either a single-player OR a multiplayer experience, depending on your preferences. You can easily play Runescape and have no intentions of interacting with other players. For the firs two years I played Runescape (I started in 06) I had little to no contact with other players for two reasons: 1) I had no interest in talking to others in the game and 2) my parents wouldn't let me.
This kind of trading system is designed to benefit veteran players who know how the game works and what they need. How often do you go through a quest and know exactly what you need unless you use RuneHQ beforehand?
(I noticed when I tried to type MMOR PG the censor hit the part of the word referencing a weapon. Jagex please fix your censoring system...)

I personally would rather have a system where u can search for offers on the trading post and add that person to talk to them then be able to trade via pm, obviously it would have to be restricted to both the players being in a bank for the trade to work though.
Bumping my earlier post because I can do that
and i generally think it is a reasonable compromise.
