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!
