Why are people so stupid?

Um...what does that have to do with them suffering with the old way of trading, lol? They'd still just overpay to attract sellers anyways, if it's what they intended to do. About the only thing different is that it took more effort to buy bulk items because of them being spread out more among players rather than having one big central trade machine that makes it way too easy to hoard/manipulate(the G.E.).

I was referring more to needing to be patient. Sure back in the older days you could overpay but it was less likely that there was someone around selling the item you needed.

If I wanna go do a quest I often put my buying price really high, just cause I wanna get the item straight away.

^Same here.

I always buy way higher, and sell way lower. Never been a merch'er. I always just need items right then and there, or need a quick buck so I can buy items fast. I abuse the fuck out of the GE.

 

I used to like the old trading system however before G.E was created. You could buy a fury for 10m. Go down the street (literally in Falador) and someone would be selling one for 6m... I guess you could call that stupidity but prices were un-stable it made the game more exciting. Yes admittedly it took longer to get what you were after but it did make the game more enjoyable, for me any way.

I miss this time. W2 fally park. was where it's at!

If I am going to need an item, I will usually spend as much as I can spend. A lot of people do this, not just stupid people.

I pay what I need to pay to save myself time and frustration. If there are normal robes that aren't buying in the GE I will put an offer for 1m.

I remember putting in offers for buckets or whatever for like 10m :S

 

Ugh, I bought a rope for a quest a long time ago for like 400k because of my impatience.

As for the op, I dont think they care about the 10m loss - all they care about is getting to see new graphics/getting their quest done/theyre just impatient. Normally they have a good amount of money to waste anyways.
