quitthegame Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's more along the lines of "Joe offers at a higher price because he wants to; goldfarming company lowers to sell faster; Joe lowers his price, cycle continues, Joe might sell but gives up sooner or later." I think that makes sense, correct me if I'm wrong. No surprise, you're wrong. The market price isn't determined by some strange game of price-lowering chicken between evil rwt's and hapless Joes, the price is determined by the interaction of supply and demand. If the gold farmers sell for for less than the supply/demand determined price, then there will still be surplus buyers left to buy Joe's at price for MORE than the gold farmers got paid. If they sell for more than the determined price, then they won't sell anything, or if they only slightly overprice they will eventually find some impatient buyers. If Joe decides he'd be better off making money some other way, then he probably will do that, but that's not what the original discussion was about, the original discussion between us was whether Joe was able to lower his asking price to whatever he chose, or not. Changing what the discussion was about to avoid the fact that you were wrong in that discussion only works when you're debating with people that can't remember anything, which apparently is your specialty. Keep in mind that a goldfarmer wants gold; waiting another day or two for a little extra profit is not preferable to simply going and accumulating more resources. Accumulating as much gold as possible in the shortest period of time is the prime directive. This doesn't make any sense. "as much gold as possible in the shortest amount of time"? The shortest amount of time is zero time, the amount of gold it's possible to gather in zero time is zero. Try again to come up with a sentence that parses into a meaningful assertion. Let's assume for sake of argument that you'd said something that actually makes sense, like "goldfarmers want to make as much gold as possible per day" This actually means something, although it's still wrong. Some gold farmers want to make as much gold as is possible per 12 hour shift. Some want to make as much gold as possible over longer periods of time, valuing current gold over future gold in a typical exponential decay expression, with the normal emotional variances from the market-derived rational exponential graph. You see how pointless it is to argue this with you, you're unable to clearly state your thoughts, and they barely pass for thoughts in the first place. Which leads us to the next section of your post-- Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum!" It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! I'd advise you to stick to meaningless quotations of children's movies such as the above, it's much more up your alley than attempting to think is.

fleshless Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Off topic:indirect flame war going on on topic: Today i witnessed a rwt going on. multiple lvl 70+ accounts came and traded with a single lvl 3 called kkmoney45 {or something}. the account then traded someone called 5x range x4 {or something} and the guy came and traded me, showing me 8m. he said he got given it for money. i was like...idiot and reported the lot of them. The interesting thing was that, no matter how many accounts you ban for selling small-large amounts of items on the GE, there all lvl 3's. i fail to see how Jagex could monitor 5-6 trades of x materials to the lvl 3, who sells them on the GE and trades the money to the customer. jagex cannot have a program monitoring every trade of resorces big or small. And they may have one monitoring cash trades one sided, but there all lvl 3 accounts. Macroers and autoers are banned, but employed people on lvl 70+ accounts arent because there actual people.
