Resetting Coins

[Kevin]

Read the entire thread before voting!

Alright, recently the past few days I have noticed something that is bothering me a lot. A lot of people have been either buying or selling items, and it is mostly when selling items like lobsters, sharks, or magic logs. They try selling these items and when I confront them to buy the item they tell me no, they don't want cash, they want rares in return. I like a lot of people in WorldScape don't have rares, so I obviously can't buy them, I will offer them things and they refuse it and then end up walking away to sell it to someone else. Meanwhile I am now stuck without the item I wanted.

So my suggestion is that we Wipe the GP off the game: Coin(995) and start over with them, like a refresh. Coins have absolutely no value due to dupers in the past. I was able to get max cash in 1 day. That's not good. A player should have to work for it.

So, I made a poll above for people to vote, please explain why you voted, Yes, No, or you don't care.

PLEASE POST YOUR REASONING'S!

I personally don't care because I don't do much trading or anything. But I mean I guess it does kinda suck that rares have sort of replaced coins.

You'd basically have to reset all of the items too because people would just sit there and sell their hundred thousands of sets of dharok to the general store to get max cash again. Just removing the coins wouldn't do anything.

Support. If coins become more rare then the rares become more rare. I like it.

As Bill said, we'd have to do something about the buttloads of items that were given out for free. Maybe we could make those unsellable to the shop...?

Can be prevented by setting it so only a certain amount of each item can be held in the shops, or making it so a certain IP/Player can only sell up to 1,000-2,000 items every hour. Making it difficult and frustrating for the cheaters. Or just reducing the price value for the items that have a high amount in the game (Barrows/whips/runes)

I've always found it annoying and dumb that you could only sell 10 at a time, so I never really sold more than like 100 and got bored. I think 1,000 - 2,000 might be a little too much even.

But that just seems odd to do something like that. There are probably better ways of going by it.

Make the items unsellable to the shops..

Make the items unsellable to the shops..

No, it wouldn't be fair for the new players, like if they have been at ::northpole and want some cash, they can't sell the items to the shops.

I Would Support, but...

I already have about max cash in my bank.  If im selling something, and they offer 300m... Then I can't bank it all, since I have max cash in my bank.

Then, i have to start carrying it in my inventory... Eventually, it becomes a hassle to get rid of that money, but since people usually accept rares, it's hard to get rid of the spare cash.

In the end, I usually just give any spare cash to a friend, or somebody that just joined.  It's only money after all... You can get 100m in 3 mins by selling verac brassys to the general store, which will make the coins reset useless. 

P.S. Kevin's idea with only being able to sell 1000-2000 things to the store isn't that good, because somebody could just use a proxy, and then they're able to sell even more things.  There's no way getting around selling things to the store, as that's one of the main ways of being able to get money in the game.Also, people could alch non-stop for mithril seeds or barrows, and they'll still get alot of cash from it.

[Dug]

This is a hassle isn't it :\?

[Sad Panda]

Rat, the max selling of 1000-2000 items to the shop affects the player's profile, not the IP. Alching seeds does not give that much money anyway.

[ratman3]

Still... theoretically... you can alch about 100 seeds in 2-3 mins... 100 seeds = 4200k, which is 4.2m in 2-3 mins.

Just saying... some noob could alch for hours and hours... you knever knwo these things...

[Sad Panda]

He'd have to be alching day and night at a fast pace to get max cash.

[Kevin]

People are saying No. EXPLAIN WHY!

@Rat I normally have max cash. I give my cash away. But I find it stupid that to buy items I need other items in return. Coins need to have value. And Proxy's don't work.
