tedbundty Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 What effects would it have? Good or bad? I don't really think it would do much, but tell me what you guys think. Also, why do you think that Jagex hasn't already made it update at a set time? Are they just lazy? lol ................................[Currently Have - 1300M].........................................................My Beginner's Merchanting Guide - My Youtube Channel - My Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 No. Setting the update time at a specific time makes the market more susceptible to manipulation. Think about it - if I knew what time item X was going to get updated, then I'd probably buy as much of item X as I could about five minutes before the cut-off, and not in the wash, so it actually counted.

Sir_Kurity Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 There are price manipulators that wait hours for the grand exchange to update so they can buy there item. No wai are we making it easier for them. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDaStudd Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I don't really see how any of the things you guys are talking about would be a big deal... It makes items easier to merchant allowing clans to have a greater effect on the game. This allows clans to ruin the pricing in the game far easier which harms the average player. Me, Jagex and a lot of others never respected or liked merchanting clans so why would Jagex make it easier for them?

The "real price" (based on supply and demand) and GE limits are different things. If the real price equals GE limits, you are able to buy and sell the item. If the real price is lower than GE limits, you can't sell the item. If the real price is higher than GE limits, you can't buy the item. Especially updates and suspected future updates can move the real price (=supply and demand) faster than the GE limits can change (5% per day).

onedaysoon Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Short answer, hell no. Think about it, if your going on a boss hunting trip or something, you don't want to have to wait around 8 hours for your potions and food to buy. It would make so many people annoyed that having this sort of update would be stupid. Interesting thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make so many people annoyed that having this sort of update would be stupid. Interesting thought though. What do you mean? Why would you have to wait around 8 hours for stuff to buy? I really don't see how having the GE update would have any effect on how quickly you get items. ................................[Currently Have - 1300M].........................................................My Beginner's Merchanting Guide - My Youtube Channel - My Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, Jagex isn't doing anything about it now, but the day will come. hopefully :pray: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamorakshadow Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 You see, to most non-merch clans people, you guys are idiots who abuse a flaw in the game to destroy the economy and scam a hell lot of people for self-benefit. Plus, you spam the ge when advertising your clans. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
