You Shall Like Balanced Trades

All Runescapers must have noticed the new trading system. My 15 reasons for why it's good.

Many are complaining about how stupid the new trading update is. Of course we all know the reasons: to prevent real world trading. Good for you, Jagex, it works, but what about the gamers?

Let me show you some of the many good sides:

  1. Less (big) beggars; the most they can beg for is 3k. Why would they spend their time for such a little amount?
  2. Less autoers; we all know them, those annoying little noobs stealing our ores or logs. They can't trade the earnings to their main account or other accounts anymore, so having an autoer has less use than ever before.
  3. Less expensive birthday presents; the best present a F2P can give now is a present worth 3k! The less you can give away, the less you lose, the more you keep, the more you have
  4. Less people can own you easily since they can't buy a better account
  5. Less shame about giving a too small present on your friend's birthday or with Christmas, which would make you look poor or rude
  6. Less rich people; some people buy RS money for real money. Ha, now they can't show off anymore! Let those lazy gamers work!
  7. Less rip-offs from girlfriends/boyfriends who ask you presents till you're broke
  8. Less accidentally losing money or items by clicking accept without looking
  9. Less chance for having you're account hacked; the hacker cannot trade your items and money to his own account
  10. No more opportunities for your annoying brother/sister to steal/borrow some of your armour and other items
  11. No more so-called trading games; the game where people trade with the organiser, the trader who traded the best item, is the winner and gets the price
  12. Less so-called friends borrowing your items or money, so less chance on never getting them back
  13. No more bots from gold-sellers; they can't sell they're products on their websites anymore
  14. Runescape won't get ruined by real-world trading! So enjoy playing Runescape longer
  15. Less chance to get bored;Mod Hobagoly explained: "That's the case with all cheating, whether it's buying gold or cheating your way through a console game - it's fun for a while, but the challenge goes and things quickly get boring."

Enjoy gaming!

OMG! LOL!

Let me explain you this clearly: I wrote this article at 12pm 'cause I couldn't sleep. No wonder this article is boring (I need sleep!) and it's actually about nothing. XD
Then I thought: "Would they except this article at Triond?"
And suprise! They actually did.

...bout my name, dunno why it's May o_O...Let me change it, right now! >_<

Anyways, thanks for giving criticism. I rather not delete your comments, but if you use 'offensive words' I'll have to.

I was thinking of sending a guide to make money on Runescape, but it didn't get accepted at Triond -_-
Seems like there are quite a lot of guides on this site, I might have to change the content of my article, but I ensure you this one will be nicer than the one you just read.
After all I made more than 2.5M within 4-6 months XD
#15 by Octoberfest7, Jan 23, 2008
And Mimi.... thats really not that great.... I\\\'ve made 2+m a day fairly constantly
#16 by Mimi, Jan 23, 2008
For me it is great, coz my account hasn't have high lvls, and I've NEVER been member (probably never will be).

And sorry, I forgot to add I just play like 15 minutes a day nowadays. Stupid forgetful me >.
#17 by Mimi -- the pure F2P, Jan 23, 2008
erm I just had a look in my agenda. I started earning money in the month November. (It's January and I earned 2.7M so far.)

I really thought it was like ages ago, but it seems like time pass by very, very slowly to my feeling. *Yawns* I'm bored...

Anyways, pretty kl Octoberfest7 and thnx for ya smart remark.
#18 by , Jan 23, 2008
Kinda useless comment, but suprise (I like to suprise people)! There's another suprise linked to the fact that they accepted this article: I earn $0.02 - $0.03 a day with this article ... ***! I actualy earn SOMETHING with this article O_o

This article is getting filled by comments, gotta stop useless comments from myself. So uhm, hurray for you! =p
#19 by Mimi, Feb 5, 2008
I find that comment the best of all comments I have received on this article. Thank you, Karin =]

Look at how many people stole my article for their own site:

http://powerleveling-runescape.net/Guides//You%20Shall%20Like%20Balanced%20Trades_152431.html

http://runescape-cheat.blogspot.com/2008/01/you-shall-like-balanced-trades.html

http://runescapegold.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/you-shall-like-balanced-trades/

Uuuh...LOL... How hard can writing an own article be? I wrote this article like in about an hour, late in the night. XD
#23 by Guest nr 365871, Mar 10, 2008
