As more and more rares (especially partyhats) become harder to trade using just cash alone, will we see a potential ceiling, where the volatility of currencies like minor rares/dyes/endgame weapons essentially drives away the demand?

Or do you think jagex is going to actually fix the max cash issue? What would the implications of this be on the luxury market?

Also what do you think about how the recent price changes to membership will mean as potentially RS becomes to compete for new players from other mmos/games which ultimately have better funding behind them? Mass contributor to deaths coffers.

I think lots will quit due to the jump in membership price but not only that also factoring the amount of MTX released.
I will still pay for membership but all this MTX is making me sad as it's showing what Jagex seems to care the most for, which is money and not the game itself.
Also I do think they need to do something amount max cash because so many have over it but now even those players cannot afford a phat or rare still, so they are just stuck with some shards or some other way of holding currency.
They need to make an actual currency like 07 did with platinum tokens.

I see blue phat stabling out around 4 trill and masks/ Santa's around 150-300b each. I don't see them going much higher than that.

jagex doesn't care about the rare market because of how highly it's manipulated.
so no there won't be a "max cash issue" fix.


new players? what are those.
highly doubt there's been any actual new players in years, except for the couple times like the steam release, or back when they offered free membership trials because of something with mobile.

plus the price change in the 12 premier is miniscule af, thats always going to be the best option - because they want you to have the longest package to encourage you to play that whole time. Don't trust any pc's listed, any advice or talks between posts on ID forums anymore , the Manips are let loose, especially the main one with 15+ accounts posting acting as different people.. do your own research

Also, anyone with multiple rares is likely funding their membership via bonds anyway.

I think bulk gold phats might end up being used as a currency for trading

so, in my opinion theres many variables to this issue. The most impactful variable is that the decay of player base of runescape itself is directly related to the value of rares. As fewer and fewer people make for more dead content, more people turn to rares as a final fair well to the game in hopes to some day come back to the game if it can turn itself around. the hire rares go, the deader the content in the game. Runescape needs to make better content and stop thinking it can decrease the value of rares by adding more holiday items to the game. Gift Wrapped Scythes, Green Santa Hats, and Golden Phats, are the the equivalent to a Will Smith back hand to the loyal long term player base. you took items we work hard to earn and diluted them.

Second factor to this is that they didn't even curb the real world trade issue, its still strong as ever. as you can see phats are still selling for hundreds of billions, and the amount of time to make ever a billion GP in the game is astounding.

In conclusion, make better content, find a better way to deal with RWT, phats can crash in value, you just need to let the owners know theres something better out there for them.

I just really wish we had a fix for the max cash thing after all these years and rares could go back in the GE so they wouldn't be nearly as susceptible to so much upward manipulation.

I agree something needs to be done as even though partyhats are purely cosmetic, it has got to the point where other cheaper stable items are being bought up as pseudo-currency, keeping them out of the general populations hands. Mass contributor to deaths coffers.

I've removed your post.

Firstly you can't flame or accuse within these forums.

Second you are accusing F-Mods of being corrupt and in on the manipulation*. Not a nice thing when all the F-Mods including Me are here to help the forums and the Community stay safe.

Third and lastly. You claim F-Mods remove posts where others are accusing other people of manipulating. Not 100% true. If you post enough proof We will remove the manipulating posts and screen shots and leave the posts where someone was called out.

* If you have proof of this back it up with an E-Mail to Jagex via@- [email protected] Comprehensive Account Security
