funnisam Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 well with the new updates came a very useful piece of information, which they did silently, but i will explain why it helps: the max amount of armour pieces that can be bought is 10 per 4 hours. this now means that merchants cannot completely strangle the supply of an item. so even those who just want to play the game can now actually get hold of the items they need instead of having to wait a few hours or pay a ridiculously high price for it. the price manipulators will need a lot more power than they currently have and it will also take longer and will be more obvious to Jagex who can then take steps to stop price manipulation. So in a sentence: thankyou very much jagex, now i can actually get hold of items. debate away on whether you think the silent update is good. oh and i forgot to add that the most of any equipment item that someone would really buy is 2 at the same time, because you can only lend one item out, so one for you and one for a friend.

Ezz Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think it is great, finally now merchants have to merchant the real way, where they make money off of natural (as natural as economics gets :?) price rises, instead of artificially creating the price rises in clans :thumbsup: [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Works for me. I think most any silent update to take power away from manipulators is a good update. It also ensures that players that actually want a piece of armor can actually pay a fair price for it, instead of having to go elsewhere.

Skull Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Wow, I hope that doesn't affect any of the stuff I alch. 100 every 4 hours was terrible to begin with. [bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funnisam Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 i think the update only applies to things over a certain value, so i think most of the alching stuff is still buyable at 100 every 4 hours.

Marksman0010 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It will probably apply to unstackable stuff possibly over a certain price depending no the item. Merchants will actually have to work like the rest of us to get gold. I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.'

funnisam Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 the first item i heard of this happening to is obviously the gs's and how someone was complaining they couldnt buy more than 10 of them (for what reason other than price manipulation?). i assume it applies to things over 1m, but it may be higher or lower.

funnisam Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 this topic is about price manipulators not ge merchants. anyone who can do solo merching is fine in my books, but those who have such little talent as to have to get around 100 people to help them make money, is who this thread is aimed at.

I'm guessing that Marksman meant GE price manipulators and Pureprayer thought he meant normal solo merchants. Simple misunderstanding.

funnisam Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 thats what i thought when i first read it, but the topic is about manipulators not solo merchants. anyone who can solo merchant without buying an item out, is fine by me.
