Ok so when i took another huge break I had recently bought a whip, ss and full guthans once I hit 70 att (I know Im a noob). So I had 3 full Barrows sets a SS (worth around 8 mil at the time) and a whip to make up the majority of my wealth in items. So I took my huge break and come back to find that ALL of my barrows sets have dropped considerably and my ss is halved in value, which gave me a nice little net loss of around 6-7 mil. Now I dont really care about money but I remember how people would say "Nice SS" or "Wow 3 barrows sets" (from people even more nooby them me of course). Now Im just wondering, is this a full market crash or is it just my items and what is your opinion on the subject of economical recovery or a further recession in the runescape economy. As I said I havnt been involved in the community recently so IDK if there is a post identical to this one, If there is then tell me.

 

No trolling please, against anyone, Im just looking for an honest discussion over this so I can be informed of the situation. And yes I do know about the recent reforms to the GE and wildy. Additionally I can also see the connection between free trade and price drops, Im simply wondering if this is a full market crash or just in some specific markets, and if a recovery is expected.

 

Now that my main question is answered lets turn this into a general discussion about the new economy, the effects it will have and predictions for how prices will develop.

yes it is a market crash

pretty much everything deflated some.

pvp & extended graves & free trade mean less items are being destroyed.

 

 

only things i can see rising are supplies, like pots/food as more people need to use them up

This plus harder to get pvp statuettes basically kicked inflation in its private parts then threw it off a cliff.

not every thing's epically crashed :blink:

The market is crazy at the moment, a lot of items seem to be falling rapidly in price, other items are rising heavily (dragon bones). Personally, I'm keeping any cash I have and only buying items when I really need them.

My red phat went from 560 (the price i bought it) to becoming unbuyable at 950m. Rares are taking a boom it seems. Edibles are climbing to their 200s.
