azure Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Robin, dear heart, you make me chuckle quietly to myself in my chair. @Robin:> I don't sell it. I have a real job. I do like to know how much my shit is worth, though. [http://www.playerauctions.com/rs-gold/?serverid=1889&quantity=100](http://www.playerauctions.com/rs-gold/?serverid=1889&quantity=100)> > Sounds like the people you're selling to need to learn how to shop around.> > I'm sorry, but trying to act hard whilst talking about Runescape really doesn't work.> > I'm European. I'm well aware of what the currency is worth, thank you.As Robin once said to me, why compete with the Chinese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 @Robin:> I don't sell it. I have a real job. I do like to know how much my shit is worth, though. [http://www.playerauctions.com/rs-gold/?serverid=1889&quantity=100](http://www.playerauctions.com/rs-gold/?serverid=1889&quantity=100)It's not a real job for me, my real job contains some other shit. I just make max 150Euro a month with this.I know people who make thousands of euros every month with World of the Warcraft, that's a real job made of this.

It's very possible to make a living with this. It's a 1.4 **billion** dollar industry.But I was pointing out that 100m is nothing now-a-days. People stake more than 5x that on a whim. To make a decent amount of coin you'll need to be churning out 1billion in stakes on a regular basis.The market is nothing like it was 5 years ago. Inflation is screwing everything up.

peekay Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Inflation and the GE screwed it up massively. Grand Exchange was heavily abused in the early implementation. With people making Billions profit by doing litterally nothing and still today the same thing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Inflation has been screwed everything up since way before the GE was implemented. The economy was fairly solid until early this year when free trade was brought back. The mass amounts of phishing and staking made people over-night billionaires. You simply can't do anything with that kind of money, so they sell it in bulk to the Chinese who re-sell it on auction sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I suggest you don't. The game is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 @Robin:> I suggest you don't. The game is dying.I'm surprised it's still around. :D It(and other things) have been dying for three to four years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It really hasn't. Runescape peaked a year or so ago. But the latest changes brought in have brought the active userbase down from 200,000 concurrent users to around 50,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 With the new F2P restrictions last week I only see that going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen F Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It's true.. It is dying. Since the bot nuke there are so many less items on the grand exchange - most people have lost any willpower to grind out items and such, so prices for most ores/logs etc have skyrocketed.Not to mention that since the nuke the game has become far more laggy for no reason at all, which is quite annoying.

jna Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Only reason it went from 200k to 50k is because that 150k was bots. They seem to be trying to fix it but I don't see it going very far. I still play it tho :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be trying to fix it but I don't see it going very far. I still play it tho :PThe reason the game was fun was because you didn't have to grind resources all day. Bots gave us the huge amount of raw tradeskill items which we needed to level up.Without them the game is far too annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
