That was, until the first of Jagex unpopular changes arrived, and the runescape game's downfall -- in the eyes of many -- began. The'Grand Exchange' was used as a means for OSRS gold players to trade more easily -- albeit less directly -- via a kind of auction-house-slash-stock-market together with one another.

Previously, purchasing a new pair of armour or a fresh weapon required a runescape participant to park themselves in among their runescape game's epic'trading hub' towns and arduously type out the lineup"Selling 145k lobsters" for long periods of time until enough deals may be struck to unburden the runescape participant of the excess shellfish. 

With the implementation of the Grand Exchange, a runescape participant could hunt for an item to purchase, or list all of the items they desired to market for your market cost that is pre-established, or another custom value. Many criticised the upgrade that was helpful as the'death of free trade', but the worst thing was to follow.

Whilst Jagex were pleased to allow overpowered things run amok there was one glaring issue so-called real-world trading; that is, the exchange of money for products that are in-game -- and rightfully that they would not stick. They viewed this as a theft of their intellectual property and it left Buy Runescape gold them furious -- even going so far as to sue the creators of'bot' accounts used for gold-farming for an amount that"surpassed six figures". Jagex eliminated the entire notion of'free' trade in the runescape game -- meaning that all transactions have to be fair in this Grand Exchange's eyes, with a very limited allowance for imbalance.
