I don't see how this affects people. The rune prices are the same, so is everything else, can anyone tell me?

It affects people because when they come to sell their own amount of rune or arrows~they will not get a good sale or profit....people will just say that they can go to the store and buy em for a cheaper price. Hurts the runescape economy :boohoo:

It kills of autobuyers...

When governments (Jagex) institute price caps on commodities (store prices for runes) that are either side of the market price, one of two things happen. If the price is capped lower than the market rate, we see shortages. In the real world this can be seen historically in the bread lines of Soviet Russia, and even today with supermarket shortages in Zimbabwe, or in Runescape - rune shortages as players (and bots) buy up all the cheap runes. Where the price is capped higher than the market rate we see oversupply instead. The only way to combat this is for the controlling body (the government or, in this case Jagex) to provide an infinite supply of the commodity. While it's not realistic for the government to try to ensure an infinite supply of bread, Jagex can quite easily ensure an infinite supply of runes.
