I don't know where people get the notion that since inflation is bad, deflation must be good :wall:. Large movements in either direction are truly what is harmful. 1. and 2. are not good arguments for the reason above. 3. If a player had gotten 99 summoning without bonus xp, more gp would have been removed, so bonus xp is inflationary in this sense. Also, nobody really did construction during bonus xp, since SC hammers are better. The majority of players trained summoning and herblore, actually, not construction. 4. This is such a bad argument that I don't even. EDIT: you edited your post so mine don't match up anymore. Oh well.
