Fmods own words regarding what FGU is used for

That's silly. An Fmod's word is not more authoritative than the literal description on the website.


If you despise that the economy revolves around discontinued items you shouldnt have bought 2 Assassin Walks in the first place then

You didn't even bother asking why I bought them.

Plus, hating something doesn't make it go away. I still am choosing to play the game so why would I cut my own legs off. Who am I proving anything to. Nobody. Nobody cares if I don't buy d/c rares due to hating how they affect the economy.

I don't really care if you think that I'm a hypocrite. I'm not going to martyr myself for my opinions.

As long as they move threads at will and use such explanations id rather see that as a direct confirmation.

I dont care why you bought those items. The point is that if you despise rare/discontinued items that much, you shouldnt help in their price rising. In such a case of supply and demand, the higher the demand for such limited items the higher their prices go. Merchers simply flip these items when they are first released, then they wait for some time for things to settle and after that they actually start to properly invest. They buy bulk and they limit the supply even more. Then, when someone wants to buy the said item, the stock is even more limited. Those who keep the supply of the rare item make the prices in this scenario. Also, if more people want to buy the items the demand rises and because there is no supply the prices skyrocket. The more people want to buy such an item the higher the price rises.

A rare item in RS is pretty much like Bitcoin. It was worthless at first but then people started to buy it. Because people bought Bitcoin its price went up, because its price went up people wanted to merch/flip it, because people wanted to do that the demand went up, because the demand went up its price kept going up and so on. And just like RS rares, Bitcoin is in limited supply. So rare items prices depend on how many people try to buy them. Thats the main reason some rares randomly start to skyrocket while some stay stable. It is also the reason theres much conflict in RS regarding price manipulation.

blah blah blah economics Don't care about economics. I bought it to use, because I like the animation. My decision had nothing to do with how much the walks would be worth nor should it.

My one bean on the 2-ton pile is meaningless and the PROBLEM is not my bean, it's the fact that the pile exists.

This whole oddments solution fixes the bean pile and I'm all for it. Which is what I said in my original comment. You sure love to take things off topic don't you?

You were the one complaining about the RS economics, I simply educated you in this regard, but it seems pointless with someone that doesnt understand simple principles. Anyway, should such an update happen, the rare items, the tokens, will still be in game as discontinued/rares, even tho the animations themselves will become available to everyone.

Nope. AFAIK they haven't even mentioned it since then. Given it's been almost two months of radio silence, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Makes you wonder if they actually planned on doing this in the first place.
