ValaraZ Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Earlier this week a friend pmed me that blue party hat is 130m, then the next day it got up to 150m (could have sold for this easily). And today the same friend told me that they are now 180m. Now i checked the rs forums and someone selling for 200m. What is going on? Did that mass ban really make such a big impact to the rare market that those blue paper hats skyrocketed to allmost double within a week? And no this is not a rant about how price is so high and boohoo boohoo etc. i have a blue hat and will never sell it, even though i was tempted at 150m. Ain't i glad i didn't. :P Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both.

Blipo Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I don't know why the rares are being driven up, but I think it has something to do with all the bans. I'm willing to bet that a few hundred of the people who were banned had a party hat. Also, after the ban, a lot of the autoers who haul in a ton of the aconomy's fish/wood/ores are gone, which causes a change in the general RuneScape economy. Probably has something to do with it.

magicnite Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 lots of autoers were banned and gone with them are rare items making it even more rare :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyhenriksen Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 i bet not so many lost phats but people THINKS there are many gone, the prices will go down a little, then skyrocket again. R.I.P. Shiva and Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterxman Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 While a lot of bans happened, and probably a lot of rares are gone with those bans, it's only the mere sentence "15k players banned" that is enough to drive prices up. Anything that has even the slight possibility of changing the economy will make people pay more even if the supply has not changed much.

X-Arcade-X Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Quite obvious, isn't it? Autoing 50k ess a day makes you pretty rich. So you buy rares. Then it all goes down the drain with the mass-banned mains. Less rares = Higher price. RsN: Arcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromfirst2Last1987 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 it wasnt just autoers who were banned, if you read carefully it says that all account connected to the isp of the autoers were also banned so that they just dont auto on throw away accounts. at level 96 1369 skill total i moved up 2k in almost every ranking besides fishing woodcutting and mining which i took leaps in. so this means a lot of mains were also banned for being connected and large ammounts of rares were also removed from the community Dragon Drops: 5 medium helmet, 3 left shield halfObby: Maul 1, Cape 1, Shield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinow Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm not sure... It could also be that some good merchanters decided with eachother to go up. If some of the most powerfull merchanters get it up, the rest wil follow. Thats what a friend told me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssalreaper Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Its because of the mass ban. Lots of autoers had party hats from their ill gotten wealth. Either that or merchants are using that as an excuse to raise the price and stupid people buy them thinking "z0mg0rz$ n0w 17$ ub3r r4r3!!!!" Instead of waiting and not buying so merchants will eventually get desperate and lower the price to normal or less. Proud Acolyte of the Ooc Cmon Steve you can do it!

Dharockslayer Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 First i was sceptic at this, but now the rare market is nearly collapsing, well the phat market... I did want a yellow phat at first.... but now, i think me and other players agree that we should remove disc items for good. it might sound drastic, but in my opinion its the only way, though ive seen a post on rs forums about an NPC selling Phats for 30 mil in Suggestions. i kinda like that idea Interrested in joining the cabbagy madness?
