All I know is that if i'm 84 merching virtual hats on a video game, I will have failed at life.


Yea you will still be working the 9-5 at Walmart to save up for your diabetes medication. Maybe little Timmy will come see you during the holidays tho.


I like how he tries to play a victim right after instigating with these types of degrading comments regarding McDonalds and Walmart’s employees and a very serious health condition in addition to his elitist attitude saying it’s our own fault for the current state of market manipulation. It’s this exact elitist mentality right here that brings so much toxicity to the game. New players bring life and longevity to the game we all love. Let’s not try to downgrade the newer players. I have partyhats myself on my main btw but you wont ever see me bringing anyone else down because of it. We need to do better for the new community.


Iv now filed 14 police reports and contacted Interpol. I will not stand for this! There is no reason for picking on me just because I am a 94 year old transgender pansexual gender fluid manbearpig.

what i find problematic is that an ingame item is getting a real life price. it worries me that players who play this game have to sell a car in real life to buy a paper hat in a game. this sounds a bit dramatic but the average person cant affort that. so people either pvm or give it a go at the duel arena but at the duel arena people get addicted to gambling their money to gain more money which ultimately leaves them with nothing left, thats when they buy gold and try again. but logicly you lose more money from the duel arena compared to just buying the partyhat right away for the car. even tho both options are rather immature. people tend to choose the worst of the 2 and go to the duel arena and get addicted and lose billions.

I just wonder if its all worth it for that paper hat. ive had a few and ive decided that flipping them was worth it more than keeping it. but with the prices right now im surprised people still buy these things. 25-30b for a blue? sure. 27-31b for a yellow... idk.. 36b for a purple.. lool..

i just think people who buy a partyhat now have to really rethink about what they are about to buy and the price that comes with it.


Lmao real life partyhat costs are cheap af and rookie numbers compared to other discontinued items similar in age for young professional millennials that can afford to relive their childhoods. Just look at the original yu-gi-oh and Pokémon cards nowadays.



Give me all your Charizards! ^_^

Put it this way. The man with the largest Charizard collection got some spotlight thru pawn stars. He didn’t end up selling his collection to them. He ended up selling just 1 card for 150k to Logan Pual. I have a charizard card aswell I recall buying for $15 from the kid up the street. I’m sure its worth more than $15 now. The price of any item is what your willing to pay

This inflation is unlike anything I've witnessed in my 15 + years playing Runescape. I never really use the forums, but this is just absurd and almost game breaking to be honest. Doing daily "chores" now gives me maybe 30% of the joy/dopamine I used to get gathering resources and saving up for rares before. Doing a herb run now, feels so useless. I might as well be out in the fields picking flax and spinning it to bowstrings like we did in 06.

This extreme inflation started around the time of the dupe. The duel arena has always existed and there is no reason why this should happen just now, and to the extent it is. Anyways, the ball has already started rolling, now every player want to get a hold of anything remotely discontinued as it is not only safe, but a MUST to keep up with the inflation. It feels like every rare increases in price by 10% every day.


I've always loved merching the hated fish mask. And it is TRULY a hated rare, I've never seen anyone actually wear it. It was super easy to get, you only needed a red / rare SOF drop (and the promo lasted for a long time). It has consistently kept a low price for.... as long as it has existed to be honest. I bet there are a million fish masks in game, maybe more.

BOOM, suddenly they went from 3m to 15m in a matter of two months. Up 500%. At normal levels this should have taken years. This is not an natural event, and despite how flawed and hated the Duel Arena might be it has always been a natural part of the game.


Sorry you missed the train. Once another rare comes into the game I suggest holding onto it. Then cash out or upgrade when your ready. Just play the game and it should come. I used to do duel arena along time ago. In osrs before they removed free trade. Easy to turn 10m into 300m within an hour if you got lucky. It’s all luck. I’m inactive now. Bsh I paid 200m each back in 2014. I haven’t sold... why? I’m not active, but on the train.
