    You naive fool, thinking we were THAT good. *slaps upside the head* We are still having trouble getting valid sources on this crap that we have been writing about.

    I guess I'll go ahead and demonstrate how the article by moneyman6369 is completely wrong

     

     

     

    no more tiring selling >> prices drop everywhere due to everyone being able to buy at the cheapest price easily

     

     

     

    Incorrect conclusion. Originally, skillers were selling goods slightly under the average price because it was not worth it for them to spend hours sitting on forums. With the GE, they no longer have to spend that time selling therefore they will be able to charge higher prices. The GE also makes it easier for buyers who originally had to buy slightly overpriced if they wanted to get the item they want.

     

     

     

    What the author presents here is a one-sided conclusion. Yes, it's easier to buy goods at a cheaper price, however it is also easier to sell goods at a higher price. Everyone wins, except the merchants, who were the ones originally facilitating the exchange (but they will NOT be completely destroyed, players who need the cash quickly will not charge so high and merchants can take advantage of that situation).

     

     

     

    The only exception is the first few weeks, where I think there will be a lot more sellers. This is because people, right now, are holding off on selling goods because they are curious to see what the GE is like but in the long run, prices will be stable and, in fact, a lot more stable than they use to be.

     

     

     

    he Grand Exchange will bring the downfall of RunescapeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s economy. Prices will crash everywhere, so IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢d advise you to cut and run while you still can.

     

     

     

    That's overly exaggerated and just overly dramatic. The prices will certainly not crash, even if they do fall a bit.

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Easier for skillers to make money and gain levels (what about those poor, hardworking merchants?)

     

     

     

    Close enough, It only facilitates the selling part but that will lead to more time spent on skills. Note the bias in favor of merchanting

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Easier for people to obtain items faster (again, think about the merchants!)

     

     

     

    Correct, but note an even stronger bias in favor of merchanting

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ More cash in the game (wait, is that a good thing?)

     

     

     

    This isn't even correct. From what little information we have about G E, there is nothing that suggests that more money will be an input of money into the economy.

     

     

     

    Cons:

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Merchanting gone forever (hey, thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s whatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s going to happen.)

     

     

     

    Speculation based on the assumption that the GE replaces ALL forms of merchanting, which is certainly not true.

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Price droppings everywhere (god that will suck)

     

     

     

    If so, that implies that cash is being removed from the economy yet you believe it will be added into the economy.

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ More cash in the game (it could be bad too.)

     

     

     

    If more cash is introduced in the game, that implies a devaluation of the currency and thus an increase in the price of all items. Again this makes no sense with your previous claim

     

     

     

    The two above claims contradict each other, so not only the author made these claims on mere speculation, they contradict each other and so he is wrong either way.

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Total disruption of economy (oh dearÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ)

     

     

     

    This is just an exaggeration, no comments :roll:

     

     

     

     

     

    ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Price rise in rares (theyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll be even harder to obtain soon!)

     

     

     

    Oh yeah, let me explain that little rare price increase. You see, with more cash in the game, where is it going to go but to rares, since everything elseÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s value will have dropped? People will have to spend it on somethingÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæThere it is again: the disruption of the economy. Summing this up: The Grand Exchange MUST GO DOWN and sell ALL your items.

     

     

     

    First off, this is completely inconsistent with the previous point. If merchants really were destroyed, the price of rares would go down, not up.

     

     

     

    Second, this is again based on the assumption that this update will put more money in the economy and the assumption the update will cause prices to fall. Considering how both those assumptions contradict each other, this claim is even more invalid.

     

     

     

    Very poorly written, no economics used to support the claim, it just says "run away! run away! the economy is crashing!".
