A thought.

A better way to deal with price manipulation is to make a group that anyone can join, where the leaders of the group are famous players. The group shall be called "Say NO to price manipulation", and in the thread it can say "Anyone who are not part of this group are noobs!".

 

It could definitely influence the minor players. Don't you think?

 

On-Topic:

G.E updating more would lead to price chaos?

 

 

Famous Runescape players have some power...wish i was famous. That way I'd definetly tackle Price manipulating.

I've said this before: If we would have a GE that updates every few minutes, manipulation wouldn't be a problem at all. Things would get dumped within hours.

 

NO NO NO!

 

If I put an offer in for max, I expect it to be bought some time within the next hour.

 

What I do not want is for me to put my offer in, have the GE update, my offer no longer be max and for me to never get my item.

 

I apreciate it happens now but to a much lesser extent

 

There should be an option to have your offer at max update as the GE does and just to take the difference from your banks cash pile. Like max is 10k, you offer 15k, so that even though you can't pay more then 10k, the offer at max will continue updating until the item is over the limit specified, in this example, 15k.

 

In that case, why bother having a max in the first place?

 

To limit the rate at which prices can increase.

 

But the original suggestion is to increase the rate at which prices can increase.

You're forgetting this is RS. Famous players dont get praised, they get harassed.

 

As for this idea, I like it. It won't just make manipulation harder, but it'll help smooth out the RS economy as well. Not to mention this is great for honest merchants as well as we would get faster profit/hr

[Krampell]

So if I understand it right. You want a limit on selling items in the GE?

Lets see. It should fix manipulations.

And also people selling items that isn't being manipulated for general purpose wont be affected either because no one is always desperate for all the items to sell in the GE at once for the money.

And it's not even likely someone is selling 10k of a item unless it's runes at the same time.

It's a good idea.

NO, because this ruins it for normal merchants and flippers which are in no way related to manipulation clans. Baasically it would mean no one could properly merchant even if they are people, such as myself, who make a nice profit daily without harming the RS economy.

I love the stupidity of some rs players. Sure in this case you might not be hurting the economy in the same way as a 76ker a few months ago would have. But for 5 mins a day at the ge with some cash "merchants" can effectively cost the standard joe bloggs player +5% or w/e on their usual trades is daft.

 

GE merchants ARE NOT the same as the classic world 2 merchants or even bank oppertunistis who actually gave a service, now its just people with a cash pile, oh and 3 mins a day or w/e, which is wrong.

They don't force players to buy at a price. If a player has some patience then they can just put in offers for mid and get it eventually. GE merchants serve to help the lazy players that want something immediately.

casual player on for a 2 hour stint, hmm i feel like training some smithing, goes to buy coal in the 15th min of game. oh i cant buy for med, and has to pay 5 gp etc over. Sure not a huge hit and pays a bit more, but that bit added up makes a large profit for a merchant who does jack all, not like the old merchants who at least had to do a lot of work before. long term that 5 mins overall adds alot of profit for mechants overall, hell how many people here make a few mill a day on a 20 - 25m cash pile flipping commodeties?

 

Either way long term flippers are just parasites on the ge system they serve no real purpose like the old merchants used to, mearly profitering on a flawed system.

But the only reason he isn't getting it at the price he wants is because no one is selling, not because some ge merchant is raising the price of it.
