Only for that player. That gold he's getting isn't coming from an NPC, it's been given by the person making the purchase, with gp that was already in the game. That's a very important thing to remember; a person can increase his wealth, even though he's decreasing the total amount of gold pieces in the economy (and gold pieces are how people express their demand for an item, and demand is one of the determining factors on price, the other being supply). Likewise, a person can decrease his own wealth, while still increasing the amount of gold pieces in the economy; example: Alchemy and High Alchemy. -- To better illustrate what I mean, let's say that in the entirety of runescape there are 100 people, each with 10m in gold pieces (not in total worth, but in actual gold pieces). That means that the total number of coins in the economy is 1b coins. One of these players manages to get a rare item valued at 8m by the economy. He also expended 2m gp due to needing to recharge his weapon. 1. Upon spending that gold, it leaves the economy, and the total amount of coins in the economy is 1998m coins 2. Despite one player now having 16m in coins and another player having only 2m, the total number of coins in the economy has decreased overall. --- So, to summarize; The amount of gp in the game increases only if the transactions being performed increase the number of gold pieces that can be possibly spent. A transaction with another player does not do this. An item drop does not do this. A gp drop does do this. High Alching does do this. Selling items to npc shops does do this. You are not "converting something into gold" by trading with another player; you're exchanging your item for their gold. No gold has been created or destroyed in this transaction. Alright, I see what you meant now.

Hahaha loving it!

Thats what you were talking about? Sucks dude :sad:

It is a cash equivalent though, since its liquidity is so high (all it takes to convert it into gold is a teleport to the Grand Exchange and putting it in there).

yessss :thumbup:

at first i was like :thumbdown: then i was like :thumbup: then i thought :thumbdown: again but i ended in a :thumbup: y mood <3:

That looks almost exactly like my last one. :P I stopped posting all my crap clues though. I think the added value of the 2 clues I did today doesn't even add up to 20k, lol. Hope the Elite ones bring some cool new stuff :)

Well said, zaaps :thumbup:

This is just feeling unreal lol, world cup final :ohnoes: I'll go crazy if the Netherlands win

Dear Sir, it has come to my notice that you have not been slaying but skilling instead for the past few days. You must understand that this is against our company motto, and that you will thusly be fired from Slayers Inc. if we do not see significantly different results on your hiscore page in the next week. Kind regards, Dj (current CEO of Slayers Inc)

This sounds like an awesome month, can't wait :D

Why don't they think these things through.. Oh well, it's nice for those that had some and for those that didn't it's just a pretty darn big pain in the butt :thumbdown: How is the new quest though? Any fun/hints/new lore or anything?

-gratz on the vissy + 21m mage -spectral wot -serp does monsterhunting now? :ohnoes:

Same here, I thought Protection Prayers blocked 50% of enemy attacks (against players, 100% against monsters).

I'm 96 Summoning and I've stopped picking up golds altogether, I just can't stand how slow they are compared to the other charms :unsure: the relatively high cost of greens compared to their speed is something I don't like either, but since they're decent xp I pick those up too. However, when I don't have a free inv space I don't pick up greens, but I do clear a space for crims/blues.

Nice first 99 :) congrats!

I feel devalued :thumbdown:
