Rares back in the old days

[jofrek]

In my opinion the richer person depends entirely on the guy who started with 10M

 

 

 

Option 1: If the guy with 10M bought the p hat set because it looked good or something along those lines, then he is the poorer of the two since his wealth is based entirely on luck :shock: .

 

 

 

Option 2: Conversly if the 10M man bought the p hat set due to brilliant foresight that they were going to drastically rise in price then he is richer because he simply has a larger wealth now (assumming that the p hat set was sold)

 

 

 

Well thats my two cents on the issue (don't ask for more because i dont have an more cents to give :-$ )

[Poopingman]

Ya but people kept them because they looked good not because they knew they'd rise.......

 

 

 

I beg to differ. When I played in classic, Party Hats weren't that much. In fact, I think I bought a red for about 1M. It was extremely hard to make that cash in RSC.

 

 

 

Many people believed that they would rise in price. Most people just liked their looks and the "wealth" they represented, but some of us were actually smart and kept it.

 

 

 

I got a new account, so I no longer have mine. Others, I know a few, have kept theirs through the whole journey and are now extremely rich. Did they luck out? No, because when most saw that they were worth something, they sold. If you held onto the rare, then that was smart of you, not really luck.

 

 

 

They were so common back then that people really didn't care, same went for all of those old holiday drops. At the time of the party hats coming out, pumpkins had only been out for a couple of months, so the price inflation wasn't exactly obvious yet.

Ya option 2 was almost not predictable none thought they'd be the most expensive thing in the game. Exspecially the blue :)

Well, I doubt anyone foresaw that blue was going to be the most expensive seeing how pink was the most expensive in classic.

Their fault for not duping alot of blues. :lol:

actually that post was completeley off topic :lol:

[meili]

Yes but i'm not saying via runecrafting

 

 

 

Like getting 10M in rsc and then getting 230M in rs2 the EXACT same way.

 

 

 

No. RSC skilling 10 mil was much harder than skilling 230M in RS2. RS2 you only need to click once. That's it. In RSC you click a lot more. :roll: Our economy now is run by kids and autoers.

 

 

 

And yes, runecrafting had a big effect on the gp values in RS. If you don't know how or why, then this post is useless. :roll:

[Master_Smither]

Yes I know about rsc skilling as i did do it for 3 years.....

 

 

 

But still making 230M is harder than making 10M in rsc in my opinion.....

 

 

 

But thats just me

[Dalcyte]

i remember making deals with purples when they were 1m, yellows were 7m, i got my current santa for 160k, and i also remember when masks really started to be worth something (190k, zomg)

 

 

 

Blues were the cheapest back then, i don't know if they are now...

I think yellow is cheapest now?

I bought my first pink hat on rsc for 11m cash i got from fishing shark.

 

I bought my first blue hat in rs2 for 36m by fishing shark.

 

Believe me, the pink was a lot harder to achieve.

 

Look at it this way..

 

On classic every one had less money.

 

you COULDNT make 200m on classic from skilling, it couldnt be done.

 

richest player on rs when rs2 came out was gasheart, he had 460m he made merchanting.

 

Richest players on rs2 have 20+ billion.

 

see the difference?, there was less money on rsc, 10m on rsc is about equal to 200m on rs2.

[Master_Smither]

Yes I know the amount of money on rsc was VERY little. I had 1M and thought i was super rich.

 

 

 

But I'm saying thjat 230M in rs2 is harder than 10M in rsc......

 

 

 

Imagine 1.15M coal in rs2 vs. 50K coal is rsc (this is current rs2 prices)

 

 

 

Thats a HUGE difference

You dont get it.

 

On rs2 you can go stake other people with millions and have 200m in half an hour.

 

Or you can go barrows and make it in a few months.

 

Or you can go dag kings and make it in a few weeks.

 

Or you can runecraft and make it in a few months.

 

Or you can merchant and make it in a few weeks.

 

Or you can hunt and make it in a few weeks.

 

Or you can go godwars and make it in 2 days.

 

On rsc here was your options:

 

Merchant items:

 

Prices of rares and stuff 1/100th what they are now.

 

Stake:

 

No one had 200m to stake you.

 

No godwars, no runcrafting, no dag kings, no barrows, no rich stakers, no 20-530m items to merchant with.

[heartless619]

Well you must not have alot of stuff :shock:

 

 

 

I remember paying a TON for full rune when it came out outragous is what it was.

 

 

 

and i see how you earned your cash...

 

i guess listening to the monk on tut island did alot of the work.

[Kill_Thomas9]

Hes richer than you. He just made his money the easy way. It basicly merchanting. Example:

 

 

 

Person 1 spends 5mi on 25k lobsters at 200gp ea, and sells them for 6.25 mil. Person 2 spends 6mil on 23k lobsters at 260gp ea, and sells them for 260gp each later. Person 2 had more money in the first place, yet person 1 ended up with more money than person 2 in the end just by buying them for less.

[marlin85]

Yup but what do you think is the guy richer because he made the 230M or is the guy that made 10M richer?

 

 

 

He was/is richer, he just didn't work for it.

 

It's like that guy who invested a few thousand dollars in microsoft to get them their first office, he got into a 10-year coma, and woke up as a millionair. It's all about luck.

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

 

 

Probably sent him right back into the coma :shock:

 

 

 

haha , yeah probably

 

 

 

well i guess the guy who made 230m was alot richer because he made it by skilling , any [developmentally delayed] can buy a party hat and let it rot in his bank for 5 years

Who says he played when rune was best?

 

for along time adam plate was best, back when it cost 39k for it.

wtf. you wanna compare COAL?

 

 

 

how can u compare rs1 coal to rs2 coal?

 

 

 

why did you leave out the cert/uncert fact? 50k coal is harder to get on rs1 than 1.15m coal. why? because there is notes on rs2.

 

 

 

and if u believe 10 mil is easier to get on rs1 than 230mil on rs2, why the hell were the people with 10mil extremely famous on rs1, and the ones with 230mil on rs2 totally unimportant ?`well theres one reason I can think of... the fact that getting 10mil on rsc always has, and still is hard to get.

 

 

 

like meili said, there was 10x more clicking, and the time u used on rs1 to get 10 mil, u could easily get 230 mil on rs2...

agreed. I was having hell a hard of time to get 50k for rune 2h

 

now give me 5 mins and i have it lol >.< annoying, but so true :D

 

 

 

*random thing by me :anxious: *

Yeah exactly. I mean, now you can pretty much enter your bank, point at some nice monster drops, and high alch 10 of those, and BANG, you got 50-100k :P

[Dragonlordjl]

It is because of examples like this that Jagex made all future rares untradable. Tbh, you're quite stupid to pay 100m+ for a tiny paper hat that DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help you in-game.

Higher status amongst "newer" players. They will be more liable to do deals with you, than with others, as the p-hat is also a symbol of $$$.

I think P-Hat is symbol of people being clever back in the old days, and keeping them instead of dropping lol, like "meh.. blue phat -,-, i prefer have bronze plate *drop*"
