Understand the item wipe, why remove rcing? To have less nats to alch? Nats aren't that hard to get, people would just start mass thieving them again =\
Takes MUCH longer to thieve natures than to RC them.
RC'ing would create too much GP too fast.
By item wipe I meant GP too.

Personally I'd like them to wipe all items from the game ie stuff in banks and inventories etc. and remove the rc'ing skill.
Not a joke, know it won't happen but that's seriously what I would change. Everyone gets a fresh start, but higher lvls who had worked hard still have their skill bonuses.
I understand where you're coming from, but would you care to elaborate?

we should message these things to jagex on the rs forums and stuff, and with all of our numbers, we may be able to influence a change.
...I'm not too sure what i would change, but as for Makotos idea with Moderators, i never realized how much some could abuse their power. I think the best way to stop this would be for the already current moderators too nominate a player that they find is trustworthy, and stuff, and for jagex to then watch over that person for the next week, without the person whose nomiated knowing. then they would make the decision.
Just to let you know, if you were to go to Jagex with this list of minor improvements, I wouldn't mind it one bit. The people here would just have to explain why they'd want the changes, is all.
Having player moderators nominate other 'trustworthy' players may lead to friends getting nominated. That may seem a bit one-sided.

...rares are wut makes the runescape world go around
Who calls getting 10 partyhat sets when they're dropped, quitting for two years, and coming back to have them worth near 1 billion GP per set fair? Is that what makes the world go around, hoarding older items, waiting for them to go up in value? This is why the Easter/Halloween drops were nurfed, to the letter.
------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, so good. Keep it up, guys!

The 2nd thing I would change would be the random events that show you things that are rotating. They made the cube from the mysterious old man just shades of gray which actually made it more difficult for many people who are not color blind. I can't count the number of people who have said that it now takes them longer to pick the right shape.
The one that bugs me is the one with the graves. I've had the rotating shape stay in the horizontal plane for as much as 45 seconds before which makes it impossible to tell what it is. Just stop with the fancy rotation.
Ultimately, I would like to see all random events eliminated. Surely there is a more efficient way for JAGeX to stop macroers without annoying the hell out of the rest of us.
lol i really agree with u baak, especially about the gravedigger event. I get that all the time!! When im training at ice giants and i get it then when i come back, all the ice warriors start attacking me again. I also get the image that is rotating flat and i have no idea wut the item is on teh thing until like 2 minutes later... it jsut pisses the crap out of me! There must be some other way to prevent macroers than dumb random events. I think jagex spends too much time on random events. Some months jagex decides to procrastinate and make a few more random events.. We dont need anymore. They're dumb and jagex knows it

Would people sell raw materials for more or cheaper? if you think of it most of the greedy people would most definetly increase cost. i think. but i agree up with a item wipe.
2. Useless updates. Like seriously stop just giving out shit. its bs and anoying i cant remember the last thing they came out with that was worth.(barrows is the last thing i can think of.) Most quests are to east or not even worth doing, Rewards are unesless and not worth it. LIke benifit the high level players please.
and Random events dont even get me started on this. like holy crap. is jagex just to lazy to actually develope a efficent way to get rid of autoers and such. So they justr make a quick fix and pisses off every one else. and cuase out with retarted random events. like give me a break. get your thumbs outa your ass jagex and actually be who you were befor rs2 came out.
3. MOre variety and difficult. instead of fillers, and retarted items like low level weapons and suites and outfits. Why dont you give the game more variety. Eveything now is just low level and fillers i believe , what is their really to drive for in higher leve for combat. Everything good ends at 70 once 70 in any combat related skill thats it for armor and weapons. how pathetic. Give me Variety.
Harder, and more difficult i remember in rsc you have to train for ever to get levels and be decent.
get rid of cook x, smith x, make x, all of that its bs, just cause pansys complain oh it takes to loong boo frickin hoo. just cause your a spoliet ( blank) you ruin it for people that want a difficult game and challanging to keep the people at the game.
if you want a list of items that should be in the game just let me no ill give you tons.

2. Make Runecraft exp just a little bit faster. Five more exp per rune would make a huge diference.
Can't think of a third one at the moment.

I know what you mean. When it's 9 xp per nature rune, you have to make 50k+ nats at the higher levels for 1 level. Try to make all skills level up as easy as each other. Like fletching is a great example. Arguably the easiest skill to level in the game. Remove Fletch-x, so it's not as easy to level up in it.

2) Larger friends list. 200 ppl really isnt enough, even more so when you are a mod. It's a hastle to remove a friend just to add someone when you are trying to buy an item on the forums.
3) Untradable Holiday Items: I think if you miss a holiday, there should be some other way of getting them. (This is just for the newer holiday drops that are not tradeable). For example: I wasnt playing rs during the time of the bunny ear drop and now I will never be able to get them. If they are untradable, there should be a way to get them.

I agree, but i think they should have maybe have the folowing random events....
Troll,Ent,Golem,mr.hyde(for autoers)Then mime, Maze, and Evil Bob's ballon animal thing because of the toadflax.

Here's the things that bother me:
The thing I'd want most does require a huge update, so I won't count it in. But I will explain what it is.
The biggest problem I have with RuneScape, is that I know very few RS'ers in real life. Although RuneScape is popular and gaining popularity each day, it still has the stigma of being a game for nerds/losers etc.
The problem here is that Jagex staff is too much into compatibility. It's great that RuneScape's minimum requirements are 56K modem (maybe even less), with a 300 MHz processor. But today, such hardware configurations are considered to be from the Stone Age. They're proud of the fact that both server and client can be put on just one floppy disk (they even state that on their corporate site).
But c'mon?? Ain't that a little too much? My advice would be that they need to ditch Java as a gaming engine language. Yeah, you can make great games with it. But if you want to continue being among the great RPG's such as World of Warcraft, ROSE, Guild Wars etc, then you have to start using different languages (C++ or Blitz). Forget the floppy disk thing. It's really not a big deal if your game client is over 200 MB. That's what most people can download these days, without much effort.
The result would be that RuneScape would lose that stigma I mentioned earlier. Well not entirely, but there would be a change. And I could then tell people to play too, and show them the great graphics. Currently RuneScape's graphics are great for a Java game, but not compared to the console games nowadays. This would enhance my gaming experience, as it is much more motivating to play with a whole bunch of classmates (for instance), than with a few, that are almost never online.
Other things:
1. Jagex should no longer bring out updates on a weekly (fixed) basis. Just do updates when you have them done. Some updates require longer work than others. Do the updates on random times. That'll create some surprise. I dislike the fact that Jagex feels obligated to satisfy the communtiy with weekly updates. There are actually people complaining if the update isn't uploaded on Monday (because of a bank holiday or something).
2. I guess some kind of reset (stats, or items, preferably both), would help. Even though some people can get them back in no time. I am from the RSC age too and I agree that all these do-X options are making it too easy. Ban-X them all!
3. Clan and Fan site support. Improves motivation to play. It would do a lot more positivie things. Make a clan or fansite highscore. The amount of members could be used, similar to levels and exp.

There are so many times that JAGeX designers have appeared to make the layout as inconvienent as possible. Make the areas so that they are logical in their layouts, not focused on making us travel the farthest distance possible.

The 3rd thing I would change is the layout of some of the older cities. For instance, when they switched from Classic to RS2, they completely screwed up the layout of Falador. It's like they went out of their way to rearrange the city so that the banks were not convienent to use. They moved the East bank farther north and moved the entrance from the West side to the North side. By doing this, they made it further from the mining guild entrance and further from the spinning wheel.

This is true. I remember when I was still trying to get used to the transition from Classic to RS2, but was playing both of them. I suddenly realised.. This isn't right. That should be there.

1) Have a scroll lock/unlock button on the chat window. When you are on a crowded world, in a bank and you are trying to read the chat post, when you see one you are intersted in and try to scroll back to read it, to see who wrote it and the constant chatter continues to roll it off your screen, if you had a scroll lock button to hit, it would be easier to read the message and the originator.
2) have the ability to trade with your friend list with out changing worlds, just right click on their name and add a trade option. The only issue I could see with this would be if person A is fishing and he adds person B, who is buying, to his list and trades/sells his catch right from the docks( lobsters, swordies etc)
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Three things I would change:
1 - High levels play RSC. Basically those higher levelled players and those who have been playing for a long long time can play RSC instad of it being MEMBERS ONLY.
2 - Ads. I would include something like an ad campaign on a wall (walk up to it and click to read) which basically says stuff like: "Clan war in Wildy level ** at whatever time GMT" (for example)
3 - I would agree with Baak's point on the layout of RS2.

Mail: If you attempt to go to a players house and they are either not online or not in the house, you should be able to leave them mail. Just simply type your message and hit enter and it will be there. When the player enters their house it should say "You have 1 new message." Only problem I could see with this is spamming or high lvls getting tons of mail. Both could easily be fixed though. You could have an option of either only friends with the ability to mail you or everybody. Spam could be stopped by only being able to mail the same person once a day if they have not read it.

1.) Random events and autoers: The random events are a failure in stopping autoers...COMPLETELY. All they do is annoy the honest players when they're trying to train and keep up with the autoers. Someone determined enough to get around a random event so he/she can auto can get around all of them. Remove them and find a new way to fight auoters.
2.)This one's not so much about the game as it is about JaGeX...There are legitamite (spelling?) fansites out there that many many people use. Runeweb here is one of them. JaGeX needs to pull this stick out of there @ss and just finally acknowledge them. Even if it's in a small way...They could put a page on their site that has a list of sponsored RS fansites. They could also stop trying to make these fansites obsolete (spelling?). The knowledge base and forums are handy, but places like runeweb give a since of community.
3.) skills and Updates: It's cool how JaGeX comes out with an update usually every week, but it's not cool how the keep adding useless things into the game that no one uses. Note the minigames...only a small handful are actually fun and worth playing. INSTEAD of putting in more useless minigames, why not build on the skills that they have in the game? There are plenty of skills on my character that I don't ever bother with unless I need them for a certain quest or to get into a new area of the game. Remember when they put in the abyss for RC'ing? An amazing update for a skill! That made me want to train my RC up a bit. They need more updates like the Abyss and less like the Burthorpe Games Room. -.-
-------------------------------------------------
Note* I don't RC for cash. I think I've done it maybe twice?
also...about the in-game wiping...good idea i like...but so many people would quit (not that I wouldn't mind them leaving). Especially since they lost their "precious" rare items. Instead of item wiping...I say jagex re-introduces the rares into like a shop in varrock or something and sell the items DIRT CHEAP. The prices of these items will go down, plus anyone who ever wanted one could have one. I mean at p-hats, masks, santa hats, and maybe the pumkins and eggs...at least get it so some of the rares have ruined prices.
^^^
lol nobody hate me on that. =P
