So many rants about the dying runescape economy, so much talk about the prices of rares. We all read the constant new topics about party hats increasing in value, and how only the richest of the rich were able to capitalize from the hike in the party hat prices. Then I got to thinking, if Jagex was really against these holiday, aka "rare" items of the past, and how they are damaging the economy, wouldn't they put a stop to them? Wouldn't they brainstorm in their staff meetings, thinking of ways to remove these "rare" items from the game? It really caught me by surprise, the fact that all they would need to do to reduce the value of these items would be to make them open, for instance, making a party hat a quest item. Even if Jagex did this, what would be of those who spent month after month, slaving away to these pixels we all love to hate. So, to say Jagex has a clear cut path to resolving all the problems in this game is selfish. The point of this short analysis is CUT JAGEX SOME SLACK. Another point I'd like to adress, why is it many F2P complain... Don't get me confused, I'm not saying all do, but for those who do complain, pay the $5.00 or quit, no need to complain if you don't pay.
