It shouldn't affect much really, people are causing this (the price dives) themselves.
Unless a little birdie has told them that they plan to roll back prices or something?

Also, check me out in the background of their video, lol! #celebrity


The only real concern I have is future duplication glitches, since the bar is getting raised, although to be fair people had the ability to surpass max-cash with items anyway, so I don't know. We'll have to wait and see, but the 1% seems to have not affected OSRS very much.

I think the pro's outweigh the con's by a fair amount. 1% might not even be enough! Bob says:

Absolutely nothing, point of phats for me is purely investment, i'd rather have liquidity atm while the prospects aren't good. Maybe when i see them as an investment opportunity i'll buy them. For now i rather not risk it that's all.
I don't need to buy a phat to show off my wealth to a bunch of people i don't even know. Money is so easy to make anyways. All you need is free time and patience.
Besides why do people think a phat is prestigious? Seen a lot of people swiping card for their hats.
Sadly the only prestigious thing in this game is like pvm achievements and even those people can pay people to get them for them so who cares :/


I agree there is absolutely nothing. I do agree with pvm achievements being very prestigious but not the only one. I also agree in that probably most people who own a phat do not own it to "show off" but like the exclusivity. Rich people don't own Ferraris to show off. But to feel they obtained something hard to obtain. A goal if you will lol

Now, my question remains. Why investment? Who cares if there is nothing to buy after you collect 1 trillion gp. I would argue that it will make more sense for players to quit and move on to another game with other goals (or just focus on real life for that matter, hope nobody is letting that pass for a game because yolo).

Re-release rares- end game goals are already comp capes and collections from bossing —- rares are artificial and in fact more people find out they never can get one, the more people who give up on the game- at least getting a comp cape and a boss collection is obtainable
Jagex never made old holiday items buyable with loyalty points like they promised. Those aren't obtainable either.

1% tax on an individual is very minimal. If you sold an item/s for 100m then the tax on that is only 1m so you'd end up with a sell of 99m. A 1b sell? 10m tax. What's 10m on a 1b sell?

Watching people panic sale right now is hilarious to me.

Tbh when people say 1% tax is a lot/disincentivizing for upper rares is comical when the majority of players/non merchers who own phats/bshs don't know the true price and who only go off ranges offered by players/discord servers usually sell towards/below the bottom range. They in turn would get "taxed" more by p2p trade than the proposed 1% tax. Usually the % of margin gained by the buyer is greater than 1% on these trades. The option of being able to trade over max cash items would be an actual incentive to sell/buy uppers on ge in order to get a fair price rather than a lowball offer from merchers who control the market.

Let me give you the true value: infitine.

When a finite number of a resource is depleted, you will pay whatever the price if you want that item. So, whatever the price the seller wants, if you want it, you pay it. If you don't have it, sorry, can't have it.

But I love the panic sellers though. Waiting for Le me to sell his phat collection for a discounted price to me.

Meant what I said in regards to the 1% tax the seller would incur, to which the seller would most likely receive more gp than what a mercher would offer even after the tax.
