I'll admit now, I'm no Runescape expert, and especially no economist. Yet the tax seems to be the only serious way to confront the 'money issues' that is suggested, the others seem fairly minimal, yet I would prefer greater leniency with the Jagex staff. Since they try to control the market themselves, without being able to accurately predict the steps of those pesky manipulators, all in all money in the game is fine, after all the average player isn't so fussed that P hats are being hoarded or whatever, money sinks like Summoning and Construction serve quite well?
