( Aliance against runescape piracy )

First off some people think that others take the game too seriously...well its a form of entertainment and socalization. Wich is an essential part of any ones health. You should take your health seriously. And if runescape is what youlike to do for yourself to escape what your bound to in real life, one of many things you like to do for that, or just a pass-time for you then as long as you have fun you can never take it to seriously...Now when things threaten your sence of having fun, and your rite to good entertainment for what you put into it. Then, what do you do? You see that is exactly what this about. When ever there is something that threatens to harm the game, and raise the lvl of stress to significant lvls, amongst its player this site will takle that topic and try to help set things rite...

Rite now there is something wrong. It may not seem so bad on the surface. and it may even seem good for specific groups of people. You see runite prices are dropping from what they were a month ago. and by alot at that. this is greatly assotiated to p2p's success. but that isnt the probleme. becuase there is something else that is effecting this also. And that is the rising price of raw lob certs.

There are many kind of foods in wildernes the lesser foods dominate the newer players, who dont spend to much any way. but the king of the greater foods is raw lobs. And that market is in perill becuase of greedy people. Lobster on runescape is king of the foods, becuase it is easiest to get for the healing power you get out of it, easiest to cook for the same reason, and cheapest for that same reason of how much you get for your buck.

The probleme is exactly that. How much you get for your buck is changing. Where, as early as two months ago a person could buy raw lobs for any where from 750gp - 1k. Now these prices have risen to where you can hardly ever expect to even get 1 raw lob cert for 1k. they are now going for around 1.5k - 2K! wich is outragious prices to pay! the cooked lob market hasnt really felt the full effect yet. Rite now as far as cooked lobs are concerned they remain pretty much at 1.5k-2k where they belong. But when I said they arnt feeling the full effect I ment it. they are begining to suffer and this is following the rise in price on raw lobs. Cooked lobs are just begining to be sold and bought for up to 3k

Whats worse is if you are willing to pay 2k for a raw lob cert, why not 2.2k? rite? its only a lil more. And even if you dont relize it when you see a few ppl doing in the same place at once you want in. So you may go along with it. And before you know it prices on raw lobs could be as high as 3k...and then cooked jumps to 4.5K with out you even noticing it

You may be wondering what exactly the probleme is with this... I mean after all prices are a little high, but you are one of those who may be able to afford a slight increase. And besides that fishers are getting rich quicker so there spending more. And further more becuase of all this wealth the money will filter down and make things cheaper rite? Wrong!

If fishers are getting more money for there catch then what makes you think theyll work as hard as they do now. As humans when the going gets easy most of us get lazy lol. But you may figure that thats okay becuase they can afford to work less, after all lobs are so expensive...they get so much for there catch rite? you would once again be wrong. You see, even though they get more for there catch, they are still working less(this is something that is happenning rite now). and becuase they are working less there are less lobsters. So the fishers do get wealthy but it doesnt filter down to every one else. with higher prices and less lobsters. Only the wealthier can afford the lobs and they will be in more demand. But this is where the wagon breaks...No one will want to pay more for lobs. and the fishers sure are not going to want to work harder when they got it easy. So can you see where this is going?

It Is Called Resetion! Wich is a time when economy stands still, and when only the rich prosper, the middle class become poor, and the lower class and as far down as noobs may jus(at least half of them) quit runescape for a while! maybe some even for good! and it gets worse. If people are are broke then they raise the prices on every thing! coal! armour! wepons! theyll even be greedy with just helping someone out

No dought that jagex will step inonthis before worse comes to worse as they always do. they did it with the cursing probleme, the text flooding, and the harrasment epidemic... but at what cost?!? many of you newcomers to rs dont know that used to be able to do rainbow effects with type, easily type in all caps, use all the symbols on the keyboard, and had total freedom of speech. But we abused that. So they slowly took it away! They had to! we forced hand! dont let that happen to our abilty to decided how much we pay for things out side of stores. If they can block out curse words. they can sure keep you from spending to much on one item! and this cencor on rs chat has a few bugs in my opinion so imagine what Mr. Gowers reaction to our bad behavior will be on this and the consequences!

So are you wondering how to put a stop to this? well, It is simple...It is a bit taxing on you but it is a small sacrafice to pay to get the price back to where it belongs. becuase you will save alot of headache in the long run, and even in the short term too. I am talking BoyCoT! dont buy or sell any raw lob certs for 1 whole 24 hour day. Not every1 will see this site. and not every1(hardly any1) will boycot. but just a few ppl doing can help.

Even if you cant see your way clear to do it there are other things you can do. such as every 30 min your at a the fish market in drynor regardless of the server your on or who you are with. out wardly protest the prices for a good 3 miniutes. And make it loud and clear.

these are really good things to do. But one of the best things you can do is to set aside as much cash as you can afford...it can be 1k, 5k, even in the 50's or 100's of k's. but what ever amount use it to buy raw lonb certs for only 1k each and no more! and only sell them for 1k each also. If only 100 people do that for at least an hour a day for 3 days. And puting that with the out ward protests every half hour or so by muliple people here and there. And morse along with the a few ppl having an outward absolute refusal to buy or sell lob certs. this is enough i think over the span of only a few days(on every sever if possible but on the first 3 is best), to really turn the tides for the good fight you guys and gals! so cmon lets get at it! finnish wat ever buisness you need with it now and dont start any new buisness. or keep doing buisness but make an honest effort. even just protest if you arnt that big on fishing. But lets do this thing! Your reading this page prolly becuase somne lunitic running around told ya to. i know this becuase i paid those lunitics to tell all of ya lmao. but they arnt getting paid much and they believe in this enough to put all theyre effort in and forget about working. so you can just at least put a lil bit in rite? well ill let you know the fight gos, ttfn ; )
