Tl; dr Platinum tokens.

Just kidding, why only prevent phats, and not crackers, from being staked? I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity. :(

With new players entering items over max cash manip is more likely since they don't have the wealth other merchers have. To combat inflation I would add a 0.5% staking tax to duel arena. Not a perfect fix but will reduce gp entering the game considering popularity of staking. I need my blue charms back.

Jk, why only prevent phats, and not crackers, from being staked?

Because crackers don't really have a purpose, except being collected, and at least people could have high stakes. I'm sure other edibles will become more expensive too and there's other rares as well.

Reason why I say to not make phats stakeable is so that more phats don't get sucked into the arena and eventually end up being banned. W2's local swapper on the SW block, Trades broker, and PvP Events Host

Maybe you should check my profile before saying this lol.

edit: I made this thread because people just keep spamming twitch chat with price manipulation questions, and I don't want to see another rubber turkey situation. There's nothing wrong with hoarding but there's also nothing wrong with hoarding being slightly more risky. By price manipulation i do not mean hoarding, please read the thread and don't jump to conclusions. W2's local swapper on the SW block, Trades broker, and PvP Events Host

There's a simpler solution, make shard packs tradeable lol :P

Yeah, that's a simple solution for increasing the cap but increasing the cap won't combat inflation. W2's local swapper on the SW block, Trades broker, and PvP Events Host

Potential actions:

How to deflate rares:

- Minor action: Change the Chromatic Partyhat to right-side up. To keep with the theme of "new varrock" make the hat float above characters heads or sit slanted similar to the ice cream cone hat. This will basically give people a free partyhat, but not quite so they still would want the real deal.


Personally, I think they should make this change along with increasing the number of shard packs sold by vendors.

Potential actions cont'd:

Increase the number of spirit shard packs sold by vendors from 65k to 320k



And give forum mods permission to deal with blatant price manipulation on forums W2's local swapper on the SW block, Trades broker, and PvP Events Host
