Wow, this is quite weird.
Jagex updated the climbing boots because of the stats, explained in the same post, that they didn't because of the stats. QUITE WEIRD? They are now 75k, 45k Alch. Yes. 45k ALCH PRICE. Holy Dragon chainbody...
People had thousands of those, they made minimum of 45 million. 45 MILLION. Jagex are against this sort of thing, but they did it. I've worked and worked for my money, but these people get it served. Jagex thought this was the street price for the boots, holy fuck NO! They even raised 33,000 percent in price! To make this all thing relatively shorter, I've gotten this from a forum post. Sorry I can't remember who wrote it, but it's perfectly explained.
"Here's why people are angry:
•Gave some people a massive unfair advantage, those who missed out feel cheated and rightly so. <-- The one you metionned.
•Created a few months worth of gold production from alching in just one day. Hype will cause items to rise dramarically in the next few days and eventually they will settle again slightly above their old prices.
•The update was absolutely unecessary, people did not complain about climbing boots before the update.
•The idea behind the update is helpful, but the actual change made was an overkill.
•Evidence points towards corruption within Jagex causing a massive knock to players' general trust in Jagex.
•A rollback was refused despite it being clear that one was needed, now nearly 3 days later it is too late for one.
•Jagex refuse to admit they were wrong and are being incredibly stubborn by insisting that the change was good.
The main point to consider is that, yes, a change to climbing boots was nice as they took a while to obtain through the grand exchange, and many players could not be bothered to go to Tenzing, ecspecially if they were already on a bounty world. However, the change that was made was far too drastic and unecessary, many alternative solutions have been listed by players these past few days that seem so obvious, yet Jagex did not implement them.
We are left asking the question: how much do Jagex really know about the day to day workings of their own game and what other big mistake will they make in the near future?"
So basically Jagex introduced heaps of gold into the game, like a lottery if this happened. Mod Mark even told it to a merching clan about this update.
Ugh, life is unfair. I can't believe Jagex fucked us like this.
Stuff achieved: 44 Dungeoneering and some other stuff I don't bother writing down.
