EoC and Trade Limits

Lately, on the RS GP market, there have been some rumours circulating about a trade limit being implemented alongside the new EoC update. Although I believe it is completely unfounded, I am curious as to whether anyone has any insight into whether this rumour has any substance. Official forum posts, beta information, etc. Let's discuss how trading will be after the E.o.C. update.

 

Never heard anything about. Would be interesting since I have never had to deal with trading through a trade limit.

 

Wouldn't it be a huge blunder if they did that? They already tried that once.

 

IS that real?

 

That's a complex issue. Do I think it would be a blunder? Yes, considering the huge hype they made for Free Trade, and the fact that trade limits alienated a bunch of the players.

However, we don't have access to the data at Jagex Studios, so we can't make a fully accurate recommendation.

To note, I don't believe Jagex will remove Free Trade. I am making this thread to see if there is actually any evidence to rumours that it will be removed.

 

I hope not no, goodness!

How will trade be affected? Hmmmmmm well I think RSGP will be easier to make with this new "make x" function and also combat becoming easier. Also, people will require better armour and weapons, especially at the start with people experimenting with combinations such as dual wielding etc..

How will real world trade be affected? Hopefully us sythe users will benefit with the large influx of new players. With this influx of new players, there will be an increased demand for RSGP, services etc.. thus benefitting us as we can supply the newcomers with such things at raised prices (as hopefully demand is high).

 

Nothing has came across my radar, and I actively browse the RSOF although I'll keep my eyes pealed. Trading after the EoC update probably will involve more combat based items fluctuating in the GE (that's a no brainier). In my opinion, potions, and food especially will be in higher demand which will lead to noticeable price changes and dumping of course.

 

I have heard of new combat-oriented items hitting the game. Will these items be tradeable? Or are they "soulbound"? As in, stuck to a specific account?

Do you think the game will be more focused on gold and wealth in EoC, or will you be able to survive with less gold / wealth than currently?

 

With combat being a more focal point and armour/food/pots/weapons being in higher demand, I guess you could say more money will be required?
But it may also be easier to earn. Theres so many factors that could alter the market!

Edit: jagex has also said they will implement new training areas and dungeons, which you could conclude means new monsters.. with new monsters hopefully comes new drops. Im just speculating but their drops could be new, valuable combat related items

 

Agreeing with Aonor, there should be new NPCs coming aboard which ultimately means new money making methods and tradeable items. Without a doubt, Jagex will make more additions to Solomon's general store as well as SOF. So to sum up both of your questions, there should be a influx of both tradeable and "soul bound" items being released. If you're basing wealth of tangible goods such as armor, then to some extent I would say more wealth. We might see a GP spike with potions, weapons, armor, and even rares being dumped in anticipation of EoC.

 

Wow I'd they did that I would leve it right away I hate trade limits, they Reyes it once and lost a few people hope if happens again because they will remove them if they start loosing people.

 

I highly doubt they'll remove free trade with E.o.C

If they did, a lot of players would leave I reckon - or maybe they'd stay because of the new update?

 

Doubt it, or they'd have to change a lot of things.

Who would PK? They would have to revamp the crucible for example. I doubt Jagex would choose to go backward rather than forward. Still, it is possible as we don't know anything yet.

 

Be fun if they implemented soul bounds items like gw and such.

 

There will be Trade Limits again? I can't believe that.

 

Jagex is a business, and all business' strive to make a profit. We all saw what happened last time they imposed trade limits..

With all the drama surrounding EoC, do they really want to cause an even larger fuss? And with no official announcement, that I know of, it'd be a 'ninja' update.... It would make many many players very VERY mad.

 

I highly doubt it will be taken out. If Jagex does this I am officially done with this game. The only reason I play is so I can buy/sell gold.

 

Why would anyone think that they would actualy do this.. It's hard to get people to quit runescape but that might do it...

 

They won't do it again it would be just stupid to do that again they could've kept it at first then.

 

i dont think wealth will play as greater role in eoc they have toned down the power of turmoil and overloads so as i quote "players without these are still able to join certain teams" in saying this they are trying to shrink the difference between poor and rich players
