Has The New Trading Rules Ruined Team Monster Hunting?

As many of you are aware, RuneScape have brought out the new trading rule. This however has given monster hunters going after the KBD (King Black Dragon) and the KQ (Kalphite Queen) a major shock. Also people who went to the GWD (God Wars Dungeon) to fight the bosses there are also outraged. How can people get there share of the loot?

The new trading rule states that if you are in F2P, you can only trade over 3k worth of stuff, or if you drop an item worth more than 3k, it will not appear on the ground. For P2P Players the maximum trade allowed is 30k If you have the quest points. The lootshare system is a way on runescape to share the loot between team members. When people go into a Clan Chat and put Lootshare On in a lootshare system world, once the team have killed a monster, and all members of the chat with lootshare on are in 10 spaces of the person, the loot is shared.

Many people know that the lootshare system may not be fair. Does anyone, bar Jagex, know the system. It seems that one day when your in a team, your luck is with all the drops, then the next day, you have no luck at all. Do we really know how the system works? And how do we get round in sharing the items?

In the past, the person who dealt the most damage to the monster in a team, gets the drop. Without lootshare on, the person who still does the most damage receives the drop. It was the same when we went Pking, whoever dealt the most damage to the guy, gets the loot. RuneScape brought out the lootshare system to prevent this, but has it just made this worse? Is it really easy for people to understand a complex system?

Take it from this point of view. Lets say your clan is going to go to the King Black Dragon. You all gear up, get into your clan chats and turn your lootshare on. As you walk up to the gate, lootshare is active. Once you go inside, you charge the KBD and kill it. You look at the lootshare system and it shows:

Magic Phil2 Recived 1 Dragon Bone
You Recived 1 Black D-Hide
Magic Phil2 Recived 1 Dragonic Vissage

You are happy for the moment, as your friend has found a rare item, The Dragonic Vissage. Then you realize and come to face reality, you can’t get a share of it. Yeah sure you can go Bounty Hunter and get somone to help share it, but then what if somone is hunting you down and find you? What if a Rogue comes and kills you after you get your share? Is it really worth the risk going to these places and not getting drops? Is it worth the risk of getting killed?

Also, the lootshare system has broken friendship’s and clans. Many people who get a drop are afraid of what it will do to there friends. How will they be treated after they get the drop? Will they still be your friend? Will they still kill monsters with you? Many people have experinced this and are upset. Has RuneScape made a system that breaks friends? Has RuneScape really thought the lootshare system out?

So, is it a good system, or a bad?
