ldailey06 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ranarr weeds have been steadily going down since march 2010, the recent crash is due to the price being inflated by the wilderness and bonus xp weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst_Gem Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The wilderness in and of itself would not cause a price crash. Instead it was the flood of gold farming bots associated with free trade that caused it. bxpw would be expected to trigger a price spike, after which it would return to normal - however, there is no significant spike at that time and afterwards the price dropped to around 45% lower than its previous price. At the same time as every single other herb that is gained from sg but not the herbs that aren't (excluding torstol that was just dropping back to its pre-nex level). The reasons you give wouldn't explain that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oropher Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 God forbid anyone say that its the over pwoered juju potions. u can get 20+ herbs a patch with it.... The only herbs that haven't crashed are the ones bots cannot get. (Toadflax/Snaps/Torstols) Those are also the ones many people farm, with or without juju potions.

The reasons you give wouldn't explain that at all. I never said the wilderness caused a price crash. I said the wilderness caused the price the be artificially inflated. You never responded to my main point, If free trade bots are causing the price of ranarrs to fall, why did the fall start in march 2010, a year before free trade was released?bxpwk did cause a spike and the price has returned to normal, if we follow the trend of the last 14 months. Take a look at the graphs. There was a significant spike with the release of the wild, which was about a month before the announcement of the bonus xp weekend. There's an obvious spike in response to the release of the wild, after which the price remained artificially high. Then with the announcement of the bxpw there was an additional spike on top of the already inflated price. After the bxpw the price settled back to right about where it should be if we follow the trend of the last 13-14 months. All herbs have been dropping in price since the end of the bxpw in march 2010, with spikes for subsequent bxpws. A better explanation for the drop in price of herbs is the general deflation in the runescape economy. If you reply to this, please at least address my main point. If free trade bots are causing the price of ranarrs to fall, why did the fall start in march 2010, a year before free trade was released, and the recent crash is right in line with the trend over the last 14 months?
