More amount of gp in the economy means gp is worth less= higher prices. Lower whip prices really imo have nothing to do with how many people are killing abbies. Just look at everything. Prices are dropping on every item left and right. Dragon sq is 1.4\all barrows is at an all time low\obsidian items(cape,sheild) are terribly low\Fremmnick rings are extremely low also. This is because of construction. Since construction there has been tons of way to drain gp from the economy. Less gp= worth more=the item will cost LESS gp. Jagex is the one at fault for this. Construction honestly should have been done different because all it is doing now is draining all the gp from the economy. Don't blame merchants, dont blame the amount of whips\barrows items coming into the economy, blame JAGEX!!! :x
