Could the prices ever drop so low

[amitoz]

I do not understand why people insist that prices have dropped since the introduction of the G.E.

 

The price of finished products (armours,rares,potions,weapons,runes etc) have dropped dramatically. This is simply because demand has not changed but supply has become easy.

 

However the price of raw and half made objects have risen just as dramatically. Some examples:-

 

 

 

1. Iron bar - Was 200gp now 240gp

 

2. Steel bar - Was 550gp now 630gp

 

3. Coal - Was 170gp now 175 gp

 

4. Yew logs - Was 310gp now 440gp

 

5. Big bones - Was 300gp now 390gp

 

6. Gold ore - Was 400gp now 520gp

 

7. Raw lobster - Was 300gp now 340gp

 

 

 

This is because there are no autoers doing the donkey work and there is less availability ie demand has remained constant but supply has lessened. The G.E is a tool that has enabled players to seethe supply/demand process in action.

 

Personally my belief is that prices will still go further up overall especially when the PvP worlds start and supply is even more strained.

 

 

 

And you're 100% sure that macroes don't play a role in this? Okay. :roll:
