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.

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:

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.

Wow, I hope that doesn't affect any of the stuff I alch. 100 every 4 hours was terrible to begin with.

Maybe now It'll be possible to buy a whip...

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.

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.

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.

this is one result of the new updates:

Wow... wow what is working? clicking on Aviansies to get addy bars to sell? AMG thats soo like a real job. All merchants do is sit around and merchant, hay thats what some people do irl!!! I seriously think your one of thoes people who just cannot GE merchant so you complain about it.

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.

Merchanting, yes, price manipulation, no.

 

 

 

There are laws against price manipulation IRL you know. Ever heard of the Sherman Antitrust Act?

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

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.

Wow thats an awsome update! because b4 it only helped members doing treaser trails and merchants. It was one of many curropt things.
