This is why i've gotten in the habit of going between. It's alot easier. But for all your items to go up is odd.

 

 

 

Maybe jagex put that price thread on the RSOF into action perhaps?

 

Highlanders, an auction system like that would certainly be more useful to us ordinary players. However I believe Jagex are concerned that a system like that could be used to disguise RWT. For example, if a RWT trader puts up burnt cod for 1 million, it isn't very likely that another player is selling burnt cod and their "partner in crime" would be able to buy it.

 

 

 

I'm not saying that it is reasonable of Jagex to put limitations on the system for that purpose. I just think that is their "logic".

 

 

 

Wouldn't "selling burnt cod 1 mill" be a huge tip-off for RWT? If Jagex had semi-decent software (assuming they do), they could put watches on accounts that buy items for ridiculous prices. (10k or 10% more than normal)

thats jagex way of saying....STFU STOP COMPLAINING!!!:evil:

 

:) lol

i know dude! but for me it goes down. alot

 

 

 

an example of this is my karil's bow i won in the barrows.

 

 

 

started selling at 297k, next day it droped 5k, 2 days later it dropeed a further 10k.

 

 

 

within the week i eventually sold it for 255k!

 

something is rigging it. it seems if no one buys one in that day, it just drops, constantly. their thing is not balanced 2 alot of price guides that not just tip.it but heaps of other fan sites that have price guides.

 

it's ruining alot of selling purposes. its really only good for small items like, runes, herb seeds, low level or very high level arrows

Id have thought so too. But if they can't detect autoers who do nothing but one task then sell tens of millions worth of resources for GP, then transfer that GP by losing duels, then I guess their software isn't up to much. :|

 

 

 

Like I say I don't necessarily agree with their logic. I just think that it is their logic for the price controls.

 

 

 

Off topic: I've made 6m in the last two hours "merchanting" from the GE. Who says its dead? :P

Thanks for posting, I'll have to go check my items now :shock:

economy stabilizing one slow step at a time?

 

 

 

What are you talking about? How does that stabilize the economy?

you dont understand after a massive drop in prices of items then a price rebound would suggest a stabilization factor?

I think the main thing about stuff like what you described is because of people trying to empty their banks of stuff that they want the money for, but don't feel like taking the time to sell (I'm doing this too :XD: ). Depending on how many people are doing this and their supplies, it could take a while for some things to level out.

 

 

 

As for the prices rising by 1 gp, I have no idea why Jagex would manually limit prices and control the market (as in set a minimum minimum like with what seems to have happened to gold and several other items). The only reason, in my opinion, for a government, in real life (again, my opinion), to control a market is to keep a monopoly from charging outrages prices by forcing it to divide into smaller companies and creating more competition. The only problem here is that there really isn't any possible way for people to create monopolies on Runescape due to all the competition that is readily available.

 

 

 

The only reason for Jagex to set price limits is to stop RWT, but to do this, they just need to put up a maximum price (either manually or by saying no more than x% over the market price) that is adjusted periodically according to what things are selling for. This would allow people to set their own prices and keep people from just saying they'll buy item x for the lowest price effectively lowering prices due to the fact that not many people are selling for that price (or because everyone trying to sell for more than the minimum is getting impatient and lowering their prices making price drop more).

 

 

 

There are probably some flaws in all of this, but I'm tired and don't feel like trying to find them and think of soutions. :XD:
