Yes the economy is in bad shape but I dont believe it can be changed, when Construction came out it did barely anything to drain money, prices stayed the same and Runescape continued at the same pace. Since Jagex has been releasing new skills every 6 months to a year I would have to say a new skill could come out soon that has a large money drain much more then construction. I started to play 3 years ago and remember santas for 100k but then, more people with rares quit playing causing prices to rise. I remember when Duke Freedom got banned and since it was rumored he had 500 Santas the prices went up 5M in a day :shock: It is either that or Jagex doesnt really care how the economy is, we made the mess and they expect us to clean it up while they roll around in money
