enfield Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 IF everyone starts using Storm of ARMADYL at Glacors it's going to be so sad. The only way the armadyl runes (spells) come into the game is through Glacors, and if people use the spell on the glacytes then there will be very few left for the rest of us, or something. Theory: The price of the runes will increase but people who use the spell at glacors wont care because the shards they get cover them no matter what. So what ends up happening is no one can use SOA affordably for other varied things (like slayer tasks). So, we must *not* condone or promote the use of SOA at glacors. And ideally, we shouldn't use it ourselves (but i don't think this is too much of a problem as long as we don't tell people it's all that great - most people won't catch on by themselves because they underestimate mage). please please please don't spread the word. I'm calling this the anti soa@glacors revolution, which may hopefully counter what I forsee as being the soa@glacor revolution - already more and more people are writing about the soa method and it's scaring me!

Kimberly Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I don't really understand why anyone would not use the best method to kill something. It won't do anything to preserve the prices currently of their rare drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gabe Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I hope this is a troll attempt or something. I truly do. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Squab Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Eventually, you should expect the price of the Armadyl rune to become high enough that most players will choose to sell the... runes? shards? instead of use the SoA spell. Plus realistically, the only place you'd use the SoA would be PVP, potentially bosses, and Glacors. I can't see the rune becoming cheap enough for most players regular slaying.

It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

enfield Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 it's okay. I think I'm overreacting maybe. Good points everyone. It's just that right now they are *just* in the range where I don't feel too bad about using them for many slayer tasks (for me who has 2b). But if they went to 4k I would be crestfallen. So this is a sensitive issue to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Nothing Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 There is a theory which states that if it becomes a non-efficient way (i.e. irrational way) to do something, then people will start rationing. If acquiring the runes become so profitable relative to other moneymakers, then people will switch over and thus increase the supply more. The prices are likely to stablize at a point near Supply = Demand. Why worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHappySeeker Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 How you acquire something doesn't change how much it costs when used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assume Nothing Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 In the specific case of Armadyl Runes - I'm sure it does. If the only method of acquiring an item involves a faster rate of consumption of said item, then there will be a net loss. However, thankfully this is not the case.

AHappySeeker Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 No it doesn't. You're consuming the GE value of the item when you use it, no matter how you get it or where you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assume Nothing Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Please clarify - I don't quite understand your point. Do note that I'm talking about the economy as a whole, as opposed to discussing individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essiw Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Please clarify - I don't quite understand your point. Do note that I'm talking about the economy as a whole, as opposed to discussing individuals.I think he means that it does not matter how you get it (only how many of them come into the game) and how you spend them (because using them on the source is no difference in using the same amount on something else). http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

enfield Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Skeptic, nice point! I remember realizing that. indeed as the price got higher more people would stop buying them and use cr instead, and the price would fall (assuming the rational consumer hypothesis).

demonmyst12 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think that whoever wants the runes bad enough should go do the quests/skills if they were to complain about prices. They're easy to kill. ^^ If it's an efficient method to kill the glactyes, then use it @ glacors! :D (I will be using SOA after a few runs of getting used to SS...)

Leaf Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 It's possible to kill the Glacytes at maximum speed without Storm, but it takes quite a bit more APM, and you lose some consistency without the guaranteed minimum hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
