Honestly, with how old this game is, I can only appreciate the fact that they’re finally taking the steps forward on removing the Price Limit. It’ll prevent a lot of hassle and scams. I’m interested on a lot of peoples takes on this, hoping it’s a nice change.

I hope this is true! Can't wait to watch all the high valued discontinued items move on the GE graphs! As for the 1% tax... It is what it is...

Best,

If anything, I'd have thought price of rares would go up, since the bar is being raised (gold cap). Plus those that are threatening to quit with all their wealth will lower supply, right?

I think there are a lot of upset hoarders that plan to go on a little vacation. They'll sell off all their rares before the average wealth of players decreases, causing prices to lower, that way they can come back to the game in a few years and be richer than most, having not paid tax. That is my guess at what is going on, plus the rise in membership has people a bit salty.

It used to be that if you quit the game for a while, with gold, you'd come back poorer.
It's looking like the opposite thing might happen, moving forward. Just my two pence. Bob says:

The main reason people buy rares is the fact people need a to use them as a currency. With max cash getting raised you are free to hold as much gp as you want. Most people will just switch to holding gp now. I need my blue charms back.

But nothing has stopped people from using shards. 25 x 2,147 = 53b. 53b is plenty (for most items that are not rares). This sounds like manipulation to me. The increased wealth cap (or removal of) should only affect >53b items (if what you speculate is true).

You know people are going to gobble these up when they realise this update doesn't change much. Use old-school as a case study, people just got on with the game (as they should).
- Yeah, there were swings in the prices of some items, but it quickly reverted to how it was.

People will use the G/E to buy/sell rares instead of stand around in W2. Taking a 1% hit will be worth not spending hours getting lowball offers or have to deal with scammers. The price of a rare should stay the same / be whatever 'street' says it is. The only difference is we'll have a graph documenting trades and no need for shards. The start price of a rare on the new G/E will be whatever people stop panic selling at, when they realise nothing will or has changed.

Instead of clans or alts trading each-other artificially inflated prices, we'll be able to see the price of all items, not 'LOTS' via the trade window, price checker and G/E. Nothing else changes really. It's all hysteria, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were another scam for the whales (rich folk) to bag some cheap rares. Maybe JAGEX ought to address these concerns?

Crashing rare prices and increased membership prices could be a recipe for disaster. But what can ya do? Panic selling is contagious. W2 is nuts, lol. Bob says:
