Skittles_And_Trance Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Do any of the top players that have any sort of talent at flipping apply that to the stock exchange? It'd be cool to just be able to sit there and make money whilst playing rs. Real and fictional economies have many things in common, but the method employed by many flippers to make a profit is in most cases illegal in the real world. They are flipping which in the real world would equate to day trading. In runescape you only make money if you sell your item for a profit. In the real world you can make a profit either by selling your financial instruments (usually stocks) when it goes up (referred to as going long) or when it goes down (referred to as going short). It is by no means easier even though it would seem that you make a profit regardless of whether the stock goes up or down, but its not true. In order to make money when you go long you have you to buy the stock, hope it goes up, and then sell. To make money shorting, you have to get the stock from someone, sell it, hope the stock goes down, buy it again on the cheap, give the stock back to whomever it was that gave it to you, and you keep the profit. You have to be very good with predicating whether it will go up or down and you have to do it within the same day, and usually within a couple hours (i.e. if you borrow the stock from someone you have to return it by the end of trading). What should be said is that the players in the market, in runescape and the real world, have very different intentions. In the real world everyone is buying/selling stocks either to make a profit or to increase/decrease their ownership. In runescape people are either buying/selling the item to make money or because they have a need for the item. This difference in motive drastically alters the demand and therefore the price that people are willing to pay. Not to mention the fact that you can trade 24 hours a day in game, using a very simple system (GE), whereas in real life you're confined to when the markets open and close, you usually pay some fees, and the system is a lot more complex. In addition, in the real world, every minute of every day information is being released by companies and analysts which is used by the players to decide whether the stock will go up or down even if it is just speculation. In runescape that usually happens around update time or emergent game playing so it is a lot more spread out. One could say that the introduction of a new item in game creates a similar response to an IPO in real life. There's hype around it, people think based on whatever information is available that the position will go up or down, and usually it goes up based on over subscription, and then eventually down due to equilibrating to its true market value. Another similarity is the buying of appreciative assets. In runescape that would be discontinued items and in the real world it could be what ever it is people think has a decreasing supply - usually metals (i.e. gold). In the real world you do have organizations, committees, and cartels which do fix prices. Take OPEC for example whose members (net exporting oil producing countries) can decide to reduce output to keep the price of oil high if they deem a low price of oil to be unsuitable to them. It is regulated heavily so they can't just turn the switch on and off whenever they want, but such cartels are immune to collusion and antitrust laws, as well as any treaties which may have been signed depending on how techincally legal you want to get. The bottom line is: manipulation is illegal, insider trading (merchant clan chats) is illegal, high frequency trading and shorting are soon to be and in many places all ready are illegal. I'm sure someone could elaborate further, but with a simplistic analysis, you can see there are similarities, and that every tactic employed in game, would be illegal in the real world.

Lethe_Keres Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Why skip irons but not steels or miths lol? Greaters skip Gargs are fast with steel titan in ct. Same with nechs Also agree with mak.

massicist Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Ice are an ok task, I personally don't do them because they take forever. Their hours/effigy is suprisingly low because they have so much lp.Greaters are good if you do them in the wilderness, but imo switching gear/banking stuff isn't worth the hassle. I don't do them. for a theoretical "best" list, then yes they're good.Gargoyles are terrible effigies, charms and slayer xp no matter where you do them.Jad isn't worth it as you don't get charms or effigies.Wasn't aware dust devils were considered a good task, I thought their hours/effigy was about 3.5, with mediocre slayer xp and their only redeeming feature being good charms. I'd like to know why they're on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
