Vote for rares to become tradable!

[Scubazteve]

They should not be constantly brought into the market, that is the purpose of rares. There should be some items in a game that are RARE! These are called rares for a reason. If you want something that you can easily get, grab some chicken meat, it is useful, has lots of protein and isn't rare!

In your lifetime you will see that some items are hard to get because they are worth more than the others. Luxury cars, shares of the major companies, antique items, Gold/Siver, expensive jewellery etc. If everyone would have those, then they would not be worth that much anymore and would become items for everyday use. Some items will always be worth more than the others. Unless you are trying to be a communist and share the same value for every single person. That is economy my friend.

You just disproved your own point. Luxury cars and all those things are rare items, NOT discontinued. All the things you listed are constantly being made and introduced into the economy. By having an item that can never go up in supply, it will only be a matter of time where they take up so much of the game's liquid cash that they become unattainable for 99% of people because a few people horde them all.
I'm all for rare items, but using the terms "rare" and "discontinued" as one in the same is completely idiotic.

Where did I state that luxury cars are discontinued? I said that they are hard to get.
Also, antique items and gold/silver are discontinued. You can't make gold and silver from something.

Voted and supported, but the point of rares are kind of gone now since there is no hosting

you must not be old school because there was no hosting in 07 just staking.
i voted untradeable because i all they do i is inflate the market way to much.

Rares will not inflate the market, they will not bring more gp into the game.

No, that is NOT the economy. It's NOT the issue whether or not rares are good for the game or not. Please tell me how you plan on installing some method, a fair one at that, where players receive the chance to obtain one of these rare items that are, as you say, not common and difficult to secure. The rares back then before 07 and EoC were completely out of luck. People picked them up and they were given little to no value. Rares become rares because they aren't obtainable since their release. You will never find an increasing amount of rares in the game because they either stay at the same amount or decrease. And what if someone's not fortunate to come across one of these "tradeable" rares? Are they going to be able to get a chance at wearing a completely cosmetic item without paying a lucrative price set by people who choose to manipulate an online game's economy? Now, THAT's virtual economy my friend.

Jagex is clearly cheating. If you divide the number of YES votes by the number of total votes and multiply by 100% you get 74.8%
