catsrsmarter Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have to say, i think many people will agree with me, prices for both p2p and f2p items are to high. I know people who can use dragon, or crystal, but because of their finantial issues they're stuck wearing addy, or even mith. Now, don't get me wrong, addy is fine (I use it) but its not comparisen to dragon, or barrows. Granite mauls should cost 80-85k, not 100k. Obby capes, 240-270k. And party hats, 1-1.5mil. Jagex doesn't really set/make the prices; we do, and we can change them. If we get enough people to agree, we can start to drop prices. We can give people the ability to wear what they can, not only what they can afford. Hope you like this idea, and thanks for reading my thread. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmoSanta Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 However you neglect to mention how you're drastic price drops would kill RS economy.. get over it, prices are caused by supply and demand.. Phats for example Low Stock High Demand = High Price G-Mauls High Stock Little Demand = Low Price Santas Moderate Stock Moderate Demand = Steady Price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 You'd think that if we control the market, and we've established the prices of those items, it would tell you that most people agree with the current price. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McOwned Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Its basically supply and demand, im not sure on the party hat prices now, since I been gone from the game for a very long time, but if the hat prices dropped that low than everyone would buy as many as they could, then start selling them high again, since theres only a small number left. Im sure you can pick up a granite maul for 80k easily if the prices for them are around 100k.

agresivul Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 This would work in your advantage, and not to the seller who allready has the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaidinWoT Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Um... right. A 80 million gp drop minimum on the least expensive party hat. Since when were any of the items you listed necessary anyway? I know hundreds of people who have survived without Granite Mauls, Obsidian Capes, and Party Hats, and they're still perfectly fine! I myself have never owned any, except when I was given a Maul as a gift, and I'm still sane too! Prices are fine how they are, just work for things...

To me, all prices are fine, and I can't afford a set of Guthans. Do I complain? No. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Striker6 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 People won't magically start selling abysal whips at 10k because YOU WANT THEM TO. If you understood economics you would recognize that this idea could never work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatleaf Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 In runescape, its noobenomics that affects the prices of discontinued items. Merchants and rare hoarders. Hell I bought my green for 30, it's now 100, if I sold it now i'd make 60m for doing nothing, so I refuse to sell it because I consider it basicly cheating.

Pure Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 i hate to say this but the people who control the economy are the cheaters and scammers. why? cheaters can auto 24/7 and make get tons of a certain item, they sell it for cheap or high because they can get more faster then legit players. scammers that run scam sites are crazy rich, and since they steal from rich people and poor people alike, there is no such thing as "rich players" and "poor players" hope that makes sense...ill elaborate if it doesnt.
