It's still only been a few hours since the update - not many people may be aware of the change yet. Nevertheless, inflation caused by this update won't become present really for several days. Really, I imagine that only a small portion of people in possession of a significant number of the boots have been online to sell them and make a profit; only once effectively the majority of boot-holders has emptied their stock will the repercussion really begin to be felt. It's not too late for Jagex to at the very least lower the alch price IMO...

I can only imagine the public's reaction once it got out that Jagex would be doing that. Obviously the power is there, but players would lose a good deal of trust in Jagex knowing that the latter can, and will, enter people's accounts and change things around. Jagex should be enforcing their rules, not circumventing them. I can't see your suggestion as a practical solution to manipulation.

Could you quantify one "mother" in terms of hours? Month* Beg your pardon; I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that.

No, they haven't been making prices go "sky high". To use your example, prayer pots have kept a very stable 9.5k average this past month - hardly unbuyable, and certainly not for weeks. You said yourself above that these clans target items that are used commonly by the vast majority of the population. By creating a tax on these items after they have been allegedly "merched", how would that leave the "everyday user" alone, if they use these items so frequently? Sorry - I thought you were advocating to reduce manipulation? How would informing more people about how to do it stop the problem? Ignoring the abuse that would stem from such a feature, how exactly would one go about "proving" that an item has been merched? Items have natural trends of rises and falls that could quite easily be confused with some sort of manipulation. Going back to your first question, yes, they can be stopped (not using the methods you've listed above), but, no, they shouldn't be.

Regardless of what other people may be saying about your program, I want to let you know that I, for one, appreciate wholeheartedly the effort you've put into the LeetChecker releases. I use this program daily and always appreciate updates like these ;)
