Alot of people blame the G.E for the prices. Others claim that Jagex is a bunch of communists and relate it to pking/staking/free trade, Or they blame junk trading. But... From what I see, Massive merchants who "buyout" items seem to be the ones controlling the market. Buying out means a group of merchants with alot of money choose an item that can be bought at its lowest/market price. They buy every single bit of that item that they can in the G.E. People soon start wanting the item or seeing that the item is rising so everyone is trying to buy it. People can't buy that certain item so they offer max price, Which raises the price over time. These merchants are laughing because its raising everyday and they do absolutely nothing making their money. Then they dump their items all at the same time, It causes an overproduction of those items which causes it to crash. Want to know a good example? About a few days ago from today (9/8/08), All bandos items went in a massive demand, Bgs went from 20m to 25m+ ect. That was from the doing of people who buy out items. And now look at bandos now, Every peice is going down dramatically. It really does destroy the RS economy and Jagex really needs to fix it. My solution would be to put certain limits on certain items that you can buy in 24 hours. For example: You shouldn't be able to buy more then two Godswords in 24 hours, There would be no reason to buy more then two. What would your solution be?
