Runescape released the Grand Exchange and things went wild. Players were ruined the economy was dead. Everyone one was going to quit playing, blah, blah, blah. “It’s just not fair” they cried, “they set the trade limit to 3k, I can’t drop trade with myself anymore, what will I ever do?” The answer is real simple, just deal with it. The Grand Exchange is a huge area were people put up items they are selling or bid on items they want to buy. Every item has a set minimum and maximum price that does change with supply and demand. This set price prevents people from scamming unsuspecting victims out of their hard earned gold.
I know there were a lot of players that made their money on Runescape by merchanting items they bought from someone way under price and sold to someone else for a ridiculously high price. So when the Grand Exchange was released those types of players were crushed. I am glad too. I think it’s great that now in the trade window it shows what an item is worth and will not let you pay too much for the item or to less for it either. Another great thing about the grand exchange is that it made autoing way less profitable in hopes to deter players from using such programs to gain an unfair advantage in the game. Items that a player has gotten are easier to sell now that the G.E. is here. A player can put an item up for sale in the G.E. and have the items seen by everyone playing the game that is at the G.E. no matter what world you are on.
Buying items is much easier now for the same reason that selling them is easier there is just a bigger group of people to sell to. This allows me to sell my items much quicker than standing around in a bank trying to sell it or on the forums and allow for more time to gather items I am going to sell. I have honestly made more money now that the Grand Exchange is here. I think the majority of the players feel the same way. I think they are glad that they now have more of an opportunity to gain the rare items they have always wanted without the fear of being scammed out of million of gold.
