They wouldn't be able to do that after the grand exchanged is released, but maybe they can now.

Each item you stake is worth something towards the cap. I dunno what it's based on right now, but it will be based on the Grand Exchange prices when it's released.

seems to me that they should've released the grand exchange before this..looks like they weren't thinking ahead enough.

Wait...they are going to have fixed prices with the Great Exchange...?

As I understand it, the great exchange won't be the only way to trade...you should still be able to trade person to person. Of course, we'll have to wait and see...but that was my understanding.

I think they meant to. When we had that night were Runescape was down, they were probably testing for a next day release. Unfortunately, they probably ran into some problems with the update. So I would guess they switched the following weeks update, just expecting not many people to use it anyway, and the Great Exchange.

I think there might be some more delays on the Great Exchange. I'm sure they have been working on it for a while, but an update like that takes some serious work, to find and fix all the bugs that it would be creating.

They seemed to have changed the text in the Knowledge Base Article- it used to same something like the same thing, but about the Grand Exchange.

Quote:

The value of items you stake is the average market value defined by players' trades, rather than the item's shop/alchemy value.

I can see jerks trading things for insane prices over and over to bring up the average over 3000gp so there is less items you are able to stake... How many things are worth staking under 3000gp that don't stack anyways? -.-

I think I made a thread about making polished buttons untradeable...

Instead of having a strict 3k stake cap for all combat levels, it should be fixed based upon combat levels. For example:

Combat level 3 - 15 can stake a max of 3k.

Combat level 16 - 45 can stake a max of 15k.

Combat level 46 - 126 can stake a max of any amount.

That's a good idea actually, maybe higher that 46 though.

2/5, no customizeable tournaments, several flaws i discovered (dont do an emote when your about to enter tournament. you get kicked out and they still take your money. its like being robbed). and no more staking.
