I'm as big a believer of the "Jagex will never ban bots because they make up ~30% of their revenue" conspiracy as anyone, but they did actually ban a shitload of bots lately. Wiped out many of the problem areas, player count tens of thousands lower.
But yes making alts is a pain if you don't have tons of bond cash on a main. I eventually bled my old main dry so I actually main a single uim instead of hopping between meme accounts.

When I finally get back into Runescape I'm going to be a pseudo-Ironmman who still accepts trades with other players. Like if I need an item for a clue that I can't get myself I'll ask around and maybe join a clan chat to trade for it.
>>720384437
Every single time an auction house equivalent has been introduced to any game with an economy in any genre, it has been at the determent of the average player in the long run. Even if it was unanimously celebrated by the player base at first, people eventually lose interest over time.
This is because people forget what brought them to play and enjoy the game in the first place. The gameplay devolves into a "do whatever is efficient and most profitable right now', instead of doing what you want, and playing the game on it's own merit.

The whole point of an MMO is to interact with other people, GE took that away. Now OSRS is a glorified singleplayer game with an occassional quest where you need a single other player to do something for you.

My favorite era was after the RuneScape HD update, roughly 2008-2012.
I still think about the game sometimes, but I don't really want to start over in OSRS, especially after the membership price increases and having limited time as an adult.
I played RS3 for a couple years after EoC, but the combat system felt garbage compared to any other game and the microtransactions just kept getting worse

The lepers of OSRS, snot-helms (Unranked Group Ironmen), who very deservedly get made fun of by everyone when their icon appears in chat, are basically that really.
They can "trade" (there's UGIM 'stores'), but can't use the GE.
But again nobody likes snot helms.

I think an offline version would be popular. Even people who like the online aspects would be very tempted by the prospect of freedom from subscription costs.
Jagex has no incentive to do it, though. It would directly lose them money and reduce the online population.

>allow faggots to influence prices and make massive stacks of money without any issue, the profits depend on starting capital, before GE it was admiral to see a guy going around finding the best trades on the forum, after GE its just a fag maxing out buy orders with his clan to raise the value before dumping it to crash the prices before doing the same again

Anyone who complains about auction house systems is a retard. There isn't a single MMO which has done manual player trading well. None of them. The only people who like that shit are scammers who list items at exorbitant prices.
Nobody wants to read through trade chat moving at 100 messages per second. Nobody wants to stare at a wall of text on their screen because of retards flooding chat bubbles with @@@@@@@@@@@@@ in an attempt to make their message more visible. Almost nobody wants to trundle from shop to shop to shop browsing a plethora of unwanted overpriced items; "almost" because women get a thrill from the shopping experience and the dopamine rush of finding a good sale. Nobody wants to be forced to level a shitty alt just to set up their shop which may require you to leave your computer on to stay open.
All of this shit is archaic and if you support it you're a retarded faggot who probably doesn't have a job.

>but they did actually ban a shitload of bots lately.
This means nothing. Every game with a bot infestation has ban waves but they don't accomplish anything because bot farms have 20 different iterations of their bots running at all times and are constantly creating new accounts faster than shitty developers can stop them.
Bot bans mean literally fucking nothing unless the devs keep up the pressure long-term and none of them ever do it. There has not been a single case of this happening. Any dev which allows bots to become a big enough issue does not care enough about them to wipe them out.

Tons of people will play Leagues 6, for sure.
I can't imagine most of them staying once it's over, though. Even OSRS gets a big dropoff because of burnout at the end of a League, there's nothing to stick around for in RS3, the gear curve is fantastically fucked and endgame PVM is just boring.
It's a weird irony that RS3 completely rebuilt itself around a rotation-based combat system, and is somehow less engaging than its predecessor where 98% of combat is based on movement and switching your prayer at the right time.

It's crazy how Runescape is seen as something nostalgic and praised nowadays. Back in 2003 we used to shit on it for being a mediocre F2P MMO while subbing to the actual worthwhile ones.
I guess because after 2005 99% of MMOs became a bunch of WoW clones that Runescape looked good in comparison.
Good MMO game design 101: never sacrifice player interaction with other players for convenience, no matter if they bitch and moan about it. If people want to play a single player game, there's plenty of those out there.

That's not true, either, unless your standard for MMOs is XIV or WOW style waiting for matchups. I made plenty of friends in the original runescape, 25 years ago, and I made friends in osrs.
Things like the GE, or companions that make it so that you don't need help, take away interactions from players, and are a quick way to kill your game. If you rely on these things and expect them, of course you're not going to make any friends.
>>720407414
This goes for single player games as well.
>NO! I need to be able to warp everywhere, all the time!
That means your game is empty and there's nothing important in the space in between the warp points and your reason for going there.

Furthermore, there was another option. If you wanted cash fast, you could sell your stuff to a general store or the appropriate niche store. You'd get no say in the price, but it would get you the bottom amount. That was the fast option, but it wasn't good enough for you all.

The easiest money with no requirements is world hopping to picking up high-value item spawns.
The classic way to do this is picking up the steel platebody spawn in the Wilderness Lava Maze but that's very well-known and dangerous and out of the way.
Varlamore added a wine called Eclipse red that has a spawn in the Hunter's Guild (no requirements to go in and pick it up) which can also be easily banked nearby (no requirements to use the Hunters Guild bank chest) and sold to the wine shop in Aldarin (the island off the southwest coast of Varlamore) for 700g each and you don't even have to hop worlds when you're selling because the price never goes down. You can easily get over 100k worth of wine quickly, but you might have competition if other people are hopping worlds doing the same thing.
If you don't want to hop worlds and pick up an item a hundred times you can do Death to the Dorgeshuun and steal jewelry in the HAM storerooms, it's more involved than stealing silk but you'll make a more money from selling the jewelry and can also keep some to enchant for yourself (you can get every kind of jewelry from sapphire to diamond, good way to get an Amulet of Strength and Amulet of Power)

Runescape 2 turned into Runescape 3 with the EoC and Squeal of Fortune updates. OSRS was rebooted from an RS2 save from 2007. If you had an account back then it's still there now. It's legitimately the better version of runescape rn.

>the abyssal whip going from a stable 1.4m for years to 100k in months
That was an RS2 problem with power creep and devaluing drops (and EOC putting the nail in the coffin). OSRS has had the GE for 10 years and the abyssal whip has never dropped below 1m.

I played in 2005 and honestly I don't miss trading. I did it sporadically to turn goods into gp to get a dlong or whatever but looking back it was always a chore more than anything else. Maybe it was more exciting if you moved low volume rare items, but for the average guy I don't think it added a lot over having the GE.
I at least didn't make any friends while buying and selling shit and don't remember any names, I only remember people trying to get away with offering less gp than they should.

The copper ore problem.
If selling copper ore is more profitable than smelting it into bars and then selling the bars, nobody will ever smelt the bars - or they'll feel like they're "Wasting" money doing so.
It's even worse when it's cheaper and faster to mine copper, then sell the copper, then buy... I dunno, flux powder... to level smithing, than it would have been to just smith the copper you already dug.

Kek that reminds me of trading in Path of Exile when people would clog your trade window with low tier currency to substitute for chaos orbs. Speaking of PoE, that's a game where the developers refused to add anything resembling a GE yet 99% of the playerbase used an external website anyway and almost all of the currency trades were automated by bots.

Without the ge, all serious trade was done at zybez and other 3rd party websites as far back as the original game pre ge
If osrs now didn't have it, nobody would be standing around selling shit, they'd put it up on a website and be done with it just like other games with a trade economy like this
Even private servers like lost city (2004 runescape) primarily handle trade through discord
Anyone who thinks trade worlds would be used for their purpose are fucking stupid. You'd be funneled into some discord server for it and would get all the retarded elitism by discord mods that comes with it
