As someone who makes most of their money off merchanting, I take a great amount of interest in the economy. On the note of the economy, I really think Jagex needs to do something about the inflation; its unbelievable how much stuff has shot up.

Too much wasn't an option :(

Too much wasn't an option :(

Honestly, don't really care. I have never been interested in merchanting in my entire career. As long as prices aren't extremely outrageous, I'm fine with it.

I couldn't care less about it. I do think Jagex should do something about the GE it's a total wreck. Anytime you have to use junk in order to purchase or obtain useful items the economy is in the crapper.

I don't care too much because I don't merchant for money or anything, but I do like to keep up with it so I can sell anything I have before it a huge crash. It's also nice to keep a watch out for price spikes to sell my raw materials then more extra money.

 

Somewhat of an interest I guess.

I take a great interest in the economy, mainly because it's much quicker to make money by buying and selling than by using any skill, but also because I can increase my net worth by buying and selling the items I already own at the right times. I used to be the person who didn't care what his items were worth as long as he had them, but frankly the economy is so gigantic and open to manipulation that you should probably pay some attention to it.

I used to be obsessed with it checking the ge database every hour or so when i was on to see if i had got items, but recently i've found that i really have lost alot of interest in it. It's not what it used to be at all.

It's certainly interesting. It's nice to take economical risks without an actual risk to your lifestyle in real life.

Nothing at all, maybe that's why I fail so bad at solo Merching. <_<

A Small intrest We kinda get it drilled into our heads sometiems with the Tipit times so due to that i personally notice it more.

I used to have an interest, back when it actually required some common sense and thinking. Now.. it's just a joke really. Perhaps I'll go back into it if something was to change, "fixing" the economy, but until then I'm not going near. :thumbup:

this poll doesnt show up for me it says you already voted on twitter.

Personally I pay a lot of attention to the economy. If you buy and sell at the right times, you will end up with quite a bit of spare cash

Woo another one of my polls :P

 

I don't really care about the economy tbh. The only thing I notice is 'Oh Dragon Bones are stupidly expensive, that's prayer training out for a while.' Other than that, I only care about the price of Nature/Cosmic/Law runes and Yew logs. *shrugs*

I really don't care about the RS economy.

 

The fact that people track the rise and fall of item prices... well, obsessively, makes me giggle and somewhat giddy...

A quick force-refresh will fix this. :)

I care in the sense that I get pissed off when an item I want rises 2m a day with no hope of stopping. <_< Other than that, I don't pay attention to prices. I try to abstain from using the GE when possible.

Somewhat.

Considering my profits depend on which way the economy feels like swaying that particular day, then, yes, I take great interest in it.

Although it doesn't affect me much because I don't buy combat gear (the only thing I do is buy stuff I need to train skills) I take a great interest in it. I don't have an extensive knowledge of it, but I can understand why prices fluctuate, investing, etc.

I have a couple high end items, so I kinda pay attention to their values. I also keep my slayer drops/stuff I get from farming (herbs, papayas, coconuts) and sell them off when their prices are rising. Especially if a merchant clan is manipulating them I can get up to twice their normal value.

I don't play rs, but i kind of pay attention to the market in the P-hat/3A thread, so i'd say i have a little interest in it.

Seems to me like anyone who ever wants to buy something in the game should care about the economy...for instance, would you rather buy your whip at 2m or 4m? How about that shiny DFS? Want to pay twice the price you could have gotten it for a few months ago? We all make an investment in the economy (not just merchanters) so we should all be at least somewhat concerned with what happens to it. That's my two cents at least :)

I got 1,5b in stuff that i'm not planning to sell :/ I'm watching prices of them but just for my own interest. I'm a bit annoyed high end stuff that I don't have keeps rising but I don't care about it because other high end stuff I own keeps rising too. And also my money making methods get better when they do so. I don't watch prices very closely to know all crashes and stabilizings etc.
