Speaking as a hard mode player, can we please NOT be able to trade with regular modes? Thank you.

The reason I'm considering limited trade is that right now hard mode makes up about 7% of the active playerbase. I understand hard mode's XP rate doesn't appeal to most players, but the lack of players in the mode with it being a 100% separate economy makes it even less inviting over just choosing ironman mode, a bit defeating the purpose of it being a difficult but non-ironman mode.Originally Posted by Methodical
fire update. really excited about all the wilderness changes.
ESPECIALLY THE TARGET SYSTEM
At the current moment, I play hard mode almost exclusively because it has the feel of a group ironman mode. It is a community in and of itself; everybody playing it has agreed to the challenging XP rates and thus a mutual bond is formed. It is not a solo mode, and that's a beautiful thing. If you want to succeed you have to ask for help, there is a huge sense of teamwork and agreeableness and very little (if any at all) price manipulation or backstabbing. When shit gets this hard there is no time to be a dick. Our economy is near perfect, with so few maxed hard players there isn't a large influx of endgame items, getting a drop truly feels like an accomplishment- by opening the gates to trading with accounts who can max in a day you would single-handedly destroy that balance. I don't want mystery box spoils in the economy, I don't want blood money shop items in the economy. I put up with the high xp rates because the hard mode community and economy is worth it- if you let us trade with normal modes, hard mode will become a mode purely for the torturous xp grind and nothing else. Please reconsider.
-Allow unf potions + secondary to be converted to potions too - kuarm unf + limp root = super str.

I also agree to this. +2 from me
Disagree with this. In my experience playing Hard Mode the majority of the time I've spent is as an Ironman with harder exp rates. The only real items being actively traded amongst hard mode players are supplies and less rare drops like barrows/whips (and even then you have to ask in cc because GE is empty).The bigger boss items are not traded frequently, so you end up spending most of your as if you're an Ironman collecting all the items yourself.
The main game mode is dead and needs help. Having a split economy mode was just a temporary band-aid for those asking for a server reset. Besides, Group Ironman is being added to Oldschool Runescape in the near future. When Group Ironman comes to Oldschool Runescape it will also be released on Battlescape.
