Anti-'76k'ing trick banned.

As many of you know, since the opening of PvP Worlds, ‘76k’ing has become a very common practice. We’ve never been happy about this as we believe it spoils the game experience for players who want to play on PvP Worlds as intended and exhibit their PvP skills, with high rewards for high risks, rather than it being a safe method for earning large amounts of money. Looking at our forums, it looks like many players feel the same way.
Designing and developing a solution to this issue that worked, but which did not lessen the rewards for legitimate kills, turned out to be rather tricky. We’re hopeful that the solution we’ve come up with will reduce 76King without having too significant an impact on legitimate PKers.
Players who trade kills will find that the drop they receive is lessened in value. Legitimate PKers might find that some of their kills will result in smaller drops (e.g. when getting revenge on someone who has just killed you), but since you’ll still only lose as much Earning Potential as is used for the drop, your average drop will stay the same.

The way I see it is a good thing. People have always annoyed me by saying do you want to do this '76k' trick.


What are your thoughts on the subject?

Discussion: Merchanting Clans - Should They Be Banned?

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site as you can see! A while back I was in a merchanting clan, when I noticed that there were people desperately advertising a certain clan chat, as well as the item to buy and at max price. So I joined the clan, and realized that clan chat was disabled for people that weren't friends of the clan chat owner's.

Okay, so I did my research on the item in question, Gold Bars. Interestingly, this is what I found...

The clan was still advertising it in the grand exchange, even though the item was obviously starting to peak. Now this is my guess of what was happening...

The clan leader and his friends invested in gold bars, and now see the price peaking. So they are now going to dump the stock on the rest of the clan, while getting the clan to buy more gold bars. When the people buy more at max price, they end up buying them off the clan leaders. Therefore, the clan chat owner, and friends get lots of money, while everyone else gets the rear end of the deal.

Now, I'm not saying that all merching clans do this, I'm sure there are trustworthy clans out there. It would be impossible to police whether merching clans were scamming their members, unless you make merching clans totally against jagex rules.

So my question is... Should merching clans be against the rules or not?

Selling Noobs

Last night I was bored and I decided to go to the grand exchange when I suddenly had an idea. I looked around, put on a chicken suit and then walked around saying, "Selling Noobs!"

Surprisingly, a lot of people started joining in and saying, "Buying Noobs!" and "Selling Noobs!" soon there was a group of people standing around selling a few low leveled players.

And the funny thing is that people actually believed me and started trading me, one player even reported me for 'slave trading'. I think when it comes to runescape, people take it too seriously. It just reminds me of something...




Yeah, see how silly it is?
