Mageman Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 So new Rs Players=somewhat fucked until they buy membership. Meh.How many accounts that have never had membership are looking to give out more than 25k at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judobreaker Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Why would they be fucked...They can trade, they can receive anything.They just can't give away a lot which isn't really a large handicap I think...I do think it helps fight gold farmers though because they'll have to buy memberships now.

Fergal Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 What is considered a "new" account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huygens Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 What is considered a "new" account?Any account thats created since the update will have these limitations I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergal Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Eh, hardly. If you think about it, in a years time, if that's still the case, a person with pretty high levels that created their account a year earlier would still be in effect of this, which is stupid.

Brad Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 tbh the most common way of gold farming is by killing green dragons. So I dont think this will change it much? "/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend makes like 10m per day with regular merching and item flipping and he doesnt even play that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judobreaker Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 No, I still think Jagex made some pretty epic mistakes along the way. :PHowever, I do understand their strategies usually and this one isn't that bad.The point of this strategy is not just making it harder for gold farmers to sell their gold.Let's be honest, it's not that hard because all they have to do is earn their gold, buy membership and sell the gold before they get banned like Huygens said.However this changes one thing: in order for gold farming to stay profitable for the farmers they'll have to increase their prices to cover membership costs.If Jagex manages to ban a gold farmer within 2 days that'd mean roughly 15 memberships a month for a single gold farmer.

Huygens Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 This doesnt help Runescape at all,I mean, they just have to make 7 euros extra to get the same profit as before the update, which is like 2-3m? BS if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 No, I still think Jagex made some pretty epic mistakes along the way. :PHowever, I do understand their strategies usually and this one isn't that bad.Just something I noticed over the years. Nothing wrong with it. I prefer this behavior over people who complain over every move and update, yet continue to play heavily.I just don't like that new players can't freely throw money to other new players. Probably isn't a big deal cause free players are a bunch of greedy bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
