runescape economy

[urza1488]

If you the money to train with pray pots and full dharoks you can get like 90k xp an hour at lvl 77 str compared with 40k with d scimmy-so there is a good advantage. :D but merchanting is not in the spirit of the game-go kill drags.

like over 100+m which i know lots of people but yet less then 200 in rs could be able to afford it...

 

 

 

Are you just pulling numbers out of your rear end here? Way, way more than 200 people have more than 100 million gold. If you count all of my items, I have more than 100 million gold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so what there will have to be sometime where phats and all other discountinued items prices will drop madly...

 

 

 

This isn't true because there is a limitless amount of money entering the game. Every day fletchers introduce massive amounts of gold into the game, which the largely ineffective money sinks like the barrows repair costs can't begin to make up for. Think about how you see one or two people high alching at nearly any given bank at any time of day- heck, five or six at seers. They're all alching yew longs or mage longs. Think about all that new money coming into the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i really see no point in have discountinued items if they only make you look rich...

 

 

 

That is the point, champ. You don't have to like it; the marvelous thing about rares is that if you don't like them, you are entirely free not to buy, sell or trade them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and start redroping discontiuned items annually but make them still tradable...

 

 

 

Haha, keep dreaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 - Jagex will do nothing about this problem.

 

 

 

It's not a problem. Repeat after me: It's not a problem. Listen to me very closely: If you don't like party hats- if you have some irrational grudge against them like so, so many poor people seem to- you might want to pay close attention here, because I guess this is hard to understand since nobody seems to figure it out on their own-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't have to buy a party hat if you don't want to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't that just spiffy? See, it's cool because if you don't like party hats, you don't have to have anything to do with them! You can go your entire Runescape career without buying or selling a single rare! It's like buying things is entirely voluntary!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can do what ever u want with ur lvl 99, but you will never be richer than a merchanter.

 

 

 

Thats the sad part about rs

 

 

 

...why? You were never told that if you reach 99 in any given skill, you'll be able to make fame and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. You just seem to have assumed you should be able to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(In fact, the majority of skills are downright useless for making money. I couldn't help but notice your sig says you're working to get level 99 smithing, and I couldn't help but appreciate the inherent irony here. Smithing, skill-wise, is like a giant hole. A hole that you throw gold into, and never see it come out of again. What I am saying here is that it is absolutely god-awful for making money.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

True true... I chose the wrong word...

 

 

 

Its not a problem at all....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 - Jagex will do nothing about IT ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw, i like phats...

 

 

 

What i dont like about the game, are the merchanters ;)

Artie_900:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merchanting normal things is work, you have to buy a lot of it to sell higher, so you stand wherever saying "buying whatever" for long time - hence work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merchanting rares.. you rarely even need to log in. Just buy one through forums, wait a little while then sell it... use that money to buy more cheaper ones, then wait.. sell those, buy more of anything... so on and on. Do you call that work, [bleep]?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal working people spend TIME to get their money. Time on RuneScape, and lots of it.

 

 

 

Also, yes I used to merchant rares, I made a fair bit of money and spent it on skills. But it was NO FUN, no satisfaction really.. I have 1 santa hat left, when I sell it I'll get money yes. I'm NOT going to use that to buy more rares though. After this santa I'm done with it. I don't want to be a part of it.

 

 

 

And something can be done by the way, they can be made untradeable. Of course, there's more to my idea for removing them but you don't care anyway so I'm not typing it all.

The nub is jealous... full stop...
