I know it's been said a lot

I already know a ton of people have made posts about the prices dropping and all, but I thought I would start a new one that's a little different.

 

 

 

Most people are saying that prices are dropping, but in a couple days or weeks they'll go back up, but the way I see it, this might not happen this time.

 

 

 

I think Jagex knew what they were doing when they made this skill. They made things REALLY expensive as you progress. I'm only level 20 and i've spent at least 60k, so getting up to level 70+ has to cost millions most likely. So the way I see it, this skill along with the houses was a way to drop the economy. It's a way to get rid of all the extra money floating around. The money being spent on houses isn't being recycled into the economy again.

 

 

 

I'm not saying prices won't go back up, but I'm thinking that they're going to drop drastically before they start to rise again. So construction is like a way to level out the econoy.

 

 

 

Just my thought on the whole price change thing.

Just like the Stock Market Crash in '29. But eventully everything will rise back up. once high lvls have 99/ good lvl in Constrution, they will go back to make money.

what is ur theory behind everything eventually rising up again, when more abyssal whips and such come into the game each day?

 

 

 

I'd seriously like to hear it because i've never known it to be otherwise

 

 

 

Once a price on a renewable item drops, ~RIP~ old price. At least that's what it has seemed to me

 

 

 

(remember i'm not talking about rares when u respond to me)

the only reason i'm saying the prices are dropping is because people are spending all their money on construction for now. Like Nick said, once the high levels get to 99 and stuff, they'll go back to making money and more money will circulate so prices will rise because there will be more money in the economy

 

 

 

and in my point of view, i didn't think prices would rise back up that much. i was on the side that they might stay down. I said they would go back up so I wouldn't get people all mad b/c they completely disagree and think the economy will rise again. I made my point so that it showed both sides in a way.

Fact is, money is probably still coming into the game. Granted, more money is probably going out then coming in... but once things settle down, it'll go back to the way it was before.

 

 

 

Now, I'm not about to make any predictions like others have, but thats the way its always been. This skill already seems easy enough to train. Once people reach lvl 99 and then get their houses the way they want them... there wont be a money sink anymore.

 

 

 

Its not exactly that hard to bring 1 mill into the game, given whether you have the skill levels. Which is another thing people neglect to take into consideration. So I would say construction will hardly have an effect on anything. This is all just temporary.

 

 

 

EDIT: On a side note... All these people babbling on about the price dropping really just seem like they are indirectly price manipulating. I know the prices are dropping in a legit manner, but people don't have to over state the obvious. One thread was more then enough, so far I've seen three on this forum alone (counting this one).

I think prices will rise again soon, simply because there is more money being created than there is being destroyed. High alch brings millions of gp into the economy (probably every day) and construction is only affecting members and wealthy players. That being said, it is good to see some deflation in the economy, because it was definitely overheated.
