Merchanting: Good or Bad for the RS Economy?

[End_of_RC_Pk]

With all the price fluctuations and the recent growth in the amount of "poor" people, its obvious that something is causing the RS economy to become unstable, and many blame merchants for this problem. though personally i think a great deal of the problem is caused by the dishonest merchants (which i wont get into cause i dont want any flame wars), i dont believe, like a lot of people, that all merchants are evil and dont care about the well being of others or the economy, and some may even do some good. Anyways, I want to get some other peoples opinions on merchants, and thier effects on the RS economy.

 

 

 

To avoid having this thread turned into a flame war, if someone has a different opinion than you, or if you think they are wrong about something, you may say something along the lines of "I disagree", but please dont try to correct them. A persons own opinion cant hurt anyone, and it will help keep the thread free of spam/flames/etc.
