Are you just pulling numbers out of your rear end here? Way, way more than 200 people have more than 100 million gold. If you count all of my items, I have more than 100 million gold. This isn't true because there is a limitless amount of money entering the game. Every day fletchers introduce massive amounts of gold into the game, which the largely ineffective money sinks like the barrows repair costs can't begin to make up for. Think about how you see one or two people high alching at nearly any given bank at any time of day- heck, five or six at seers. They're all alching yew longs or mage longs. Think about all that new money coming into the game. That is the point, champ. You don't have to like it; the marvelous thing about rares is that if you don't like them, you are entirely free not to buy, sell or trade them! Haha, keep dreaming. It's not a problem. Repeat after me: It's not a problem. Listen to me very closely: If you don't like party hats- if you have some irrational grudge against them like so, so many poor people seem to- you might want to pay close attention here, because I guess this is hard to understand since nobody seems to figure it out on their own- You don't have to buy a party hat if you don't want to. Isn't that just spiffy? See, it's cool because if you don't like party hats, you don't have to have anything to do with them! You can go your entire Runescape career without buying or selling a single rare! It's like buying things is entirely voluntary! ...why? You were never told that if you reach 99 in any given skill, you'll be able to make fame and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. You just seem to have assumed you should be able to. (In fact, the majority of skills are downright useless for making money. I couldn't help but notice your sig says you're working to get level 99 smithing, and I couldn't help but appreciate the inherent irony here. Smithing, skill-wise, is like a giant hole. A hole that you throw gold into, and never see it come out of again. What I am saying here is that it is absolutely god-awful for making money.) True true... I chose the wrong word... Its not a problem at all.... 2 - Jagex will do nothing about IT ;) Edit: Btw, i like phats... What i dont like about the game, are the merchanters ;)

but isnt that the way the world works? you may be the best computer anaylist in the world but youll never be richer than walmart, meijer, and other massive companies. in essence they are the merchanters of the world they buy low and sell higher. while i agree it would be real nice to buy a phat or 2 afterall a little over a year ago it was my goal to have an entire set. but now with the current rate of inflation something durastic would have to happen in order for me to manage that. Thats how it works... But... Isnt it (censored) idiot???... :wink: :roll: PS: sorry mods =P

Of course, i havent read the whole post and all i have to say is this: Long time ago, i've read something that carptenry would come out with POH's... Since nobody is talking about Pohs anymore... No body is talking about the skill....

1 - Prices only go up becouse there are people who can afford it. 2 - Jagex will do nothing about this problem. But i agree 100% with you, i was talking with a friend about it some minutes ago... we were talking about how merchanting is bad... You can fish sharks You can mine rune You can make deaths You can make rune plates You can do what ever u want with ur lvl 99, but you will never be richer than a merchanter. Thats the sad part about rs

Good luck. I wont say omg ur screwed since ur doing prety nice to make money to buy ur stuff back, so just... good luck =)
