jagex only made the current system due to players crying like lil babies and the few that stockpiled and manipulated prices

not to mention back when party hats were dropped only a few thousand (if that) played.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now today its millions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so if million people want what a thousand people have. the prices are gonna be high.

i total agree with this untradeable holiday items are much better imagine people in the banks buyins say santa suits 10k! in there hundreds it would be pathetic and pointless because they won't get rare for 4-5 years time when u wil have probably quit! :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The untradeable items are far better end of :D

Thats a good way of looking at it .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never really thought of that.

Well guess what? The "old" rares weren't worth much for years either. You're not making a very good point here. Also, there's x players right now, but you never know how many there will be in 2 years, most of whom will only have the option to buy these rares.

You forget that just because the game is huge doesn't mean that "everyone is going to have one".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People quit all the time...taking their rares outa the market(or get banned)...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

new people come in all the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's say that 2 million people get this rare. My estimates would be that over half the people would sell them to a stockpiler for 100k or so when they get around that price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

let say their are 10,000 people stock piling. Each one has a stock of around 100...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that's 1,000,000 That's half the rares. Now Some people get banned or quit. More rares either are or seem to be outa the market just because they arnt traded. More new people come in without the rares...a year or two down the road a stock piler notices an increase for this rare, and talks with some other stock pilers about jacking up the price. Before you know it these new rares are 1-10m in a years time, and that number will go up exponetialy.

Another problem- people will set prices way too high. I'm betting once the item becoems rare, WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK it will be worth several hundred million. Nobody knowsa about how the economy works. all they care about is how THEY'LL benefit. Prices would never go so high to several million in a week.
