I have been a long time runescape player. I have played since RSC, on my 1 main accout, this accout. I play for FUN, I give away items and help others and somtimes receive the same in return. The recnet updated have affectivly ruined the game. The prevention of any unbalanced trading and private drop parties is similar to a real life practice called Zero Tollerance. Zero tollerance polocies are ineffective and often cause the opposit of the desired outcome. This new series of 'updates' effectivly ruins the honest method of play I go by, the exciting method of play PKers go by, and the game in general.
I was originally rather upset about the wilderness ditch, but, I saw the purpose and found it only a minor inconvenience. This new update, however, making it impossible for me to do jobs for others in return for payment, and from giving gifts. I give gifts. Yes, I do, I give tihngs to ppl with no expectation other than to be their friend and help them again in the future. The soon comming final update in this series will compleatly destroy this!
PKing is a part of runescape, and all memembers must know that is what the wilderness is for. Now it is almost impossible to enter the wilderness due to new NPC horrors! Our freedoms as players have been slowly chipped away. First, the duel arena prize system is nurfed, and the party castle ruined. Now, the new anti drop system will kill private drop parties that want to STAY PRIVATE and not use the party castle which will broadcast the party to every runescape player on that world. I have been present at many private functions and drop parties in player houses that now are impossible.
Finaly, I must ask if JAGEX has considered their bottom line in this issue. By doing this, many users will become so agrivated that they will leave the game all togeather and terminate their memberships. Many of these players are honest, kind, real ppl.
This is not a way to stop real world trading, but an utter disaster! Have we all heard the story of the elementry school student who was suspended for drawing a picture of a 'gun like object' or for playing cops and robbers using thier finger as a gun. DO NOT make the same mistake these law makers have and reverse your updates. Although you ahve stopped real world trading, you have also stopped grey area trades like overpricing/omitted pricing (perfectly within the rules) and fair trades in the form of gifts.
I know it is very unlikely that you will reverse your desision, but my I ask that you add a new feature to be factored into the trade system? Trust. A trusted player should be able to give and receive gifts aswell as trade by ommited price (offer). An otehr alternative, and the easiest to implement, is a simple toggle boolean that is by default false, but when true, bypasses the trade and drop limits. This could be set though a system to prove a user is a real person of good intentions and even be renewable to prevent the user from being used for illegal activities after it is disposed of or stolen. This could be tied into a secondary reporting system that automaticly pulls a person's 'TRUST' pending investigation of activities. I have always said a report suspicous activity is needed as the current abuse reporting system is not used ofr fear of repercussions for 'misuse'.
