RS3
Wow! So they went and nerfed trading! Crazy.
Why only a 3k limit? Why not ± 5% like the Grand Exchange? Why not link the limit to the player's level? Why not just drop P2P trading all together?- - *shrugs* Who knows?
I might be naive but my hope is that in eight months, or so, they will up the limit. Maybe they are trying to flush out all the bots, gold farmers, and compulsive cheats. Maybe they will hold their own customers in better guard some day in the future. There's always hope.
I posted a couple of real suggestions in the official forms. Jagex said they would listen and may amend the recent changes a little. I encourage all of you to try and come up with suggestions as well, maybe some one will come up with a solution to the current situation.

My first day of playing RS3 I didn't do anything that I couldn't do in RS2. I hunted some chompys, worked on a clue scroll - stuff like that. The graphics and game play were the same as the old game, but everyone was telling me that it was different now, and I knew they were right.
I played for a couple of hours and then went to bed. At 5 o'clock in the morning my two year old woke me up. Groan. I got her back to sleep but I was up and I could hear the faint voice of Runescape calling to me. I went to the RS site and saw that only 45 thousand players were on line. I logged in and went to kill some green dragons in the "wild".
I went to the dragon crater in level 12 "wilds" and was lucky that only two other players were there (3 dragons spawn here, if you remember). Killing the dragons was the same as always, but I didn't have to keep looking to see if some PKers were sneaking up near the crater's rim. I kinda missed that. I rarely went into the wild but I will still miss it. It was somehow nice knowing that there was room in the world for a lawless frontier.

A Revenant! I had killed about 1o dragons when a level 75 revenant showed up and started to attack me. I had some food and prayer points, so I decided to stand and fight. "Come'on old dead guy! Let's see what you got!"
The Revenant's max hit was not too high but it hit me with 7s pretty consistently (black dragonhide, def 66). The knowledgebase said that revenant can steel you away from other monsters, but it turns out monsters can steel you from revenants as well. I had auto-retaliate turned on so I ended up switching back and forth from fighting the revenant and fighting a green dragon - frustrating. Luckily the other players were all-to-happy to take the dragons off my hands (none of them offered to try and take the Revenant off my hands though, lol). I said dragonS plural because two spawned during my revenant fight - it was that long. I kept eating and the revenant kept healing itself. I noticed that my hits went in cycles. Hit & miss for a bit and then a long string of zeros - The knowledgebase mentions that revenants can attack from all three corners of the combat triangle, but I wonder if they defend from all three corners as well. Maybe a third of the time they had really good defense against my range attack and that is why I saw strings of zeros. Next time I'll bring a non-range weapon with me too.
Well, the revenant finally gave up the ghost and dropped . . . nothing, nada, zilch. Drats! Well, I learned something at least. In level 12 "wilderness" revenants are a nuisance but not a real threat (that particular type of Revenant at least). I saw a few more during my stay but none of the others attacked me. It was getting to be 6 am so I had to quit and go to work.
The price of green hides will go down soon, I'm sure.

Price of dragonhide is already tied to high-alch value, so it shouldn't change. Just the hides will be supplied by real players instead of bots.
hey, wat do you mean by "rs3" is it a beta form? and can i link you on my site?
