I just hope that the degrading system isn't too harsh though. Any expensive degrading armour is rarely used for slayer unless to show off or if you're killing a boss for a task.

There are so many items that are rarely used since their degrading is too harsh. Theres the pvp armours, hand cannons, nex armours outside of bossing, ganodermic outside of corp/zammy, chaotic staffs, etc.

Really i think they should keep the degrading as is so people would still use barrows everywhere, if they make it cost 100k a hour then the group of people that use it will shrink and barrows will end up being the devalued set.

Nex armour's degrading should be lowered so people will still use them.

Jagex talking about the economy? good one! With the swarms of bots ruining all skilling methods besides farming, and with bossing being way easier in eoc, prices of everything are done for.

Also we now have even more dead content! RIP Tormented demons who require a high level quest and are quite a nuisance to kill for a level 60 weapon. And Ganodermics who require 95 slayer but who's drop has gone from overpowered to junk.

Tormented demons will get a drop rework along with many many other monsters in the future, confirmed by Jmods.

Gano give armor closer to nex stats than barrows/bandos, and should be easy to maintain. Ganos are pretty easy to kill in beta and they drop magic seeds still. So gano is nothing even close to junk.

I also expect lvl 75 range with the range dungeon, and lvl 75 melee armor somewhere in the future as well.

To make money (and not lose it) you have to understand where the money is flowing. This is why I and many others I know are not affected by the economic swings now, and some are even profiting off it.

I am going to hold tight on all my bank items until the crazy price swings even out. It doesn't take a rocket scientist too figure out that buying an item low and selling high would allow a third item to be bought in high quantity to make xp due to economic swings.

True story!

Very informative topic thanks for posting this. I still have my bandos and won't be getting rid of it, the price will rise. A lot of panic selling going on right now aswell. Again thanks for the info jagex!

I have a question.
Can Jagex please change the Grand Exchange so that you can only buy a certain amount of items per hour BUT if you sell them back that you can buy again instead of waiting 4 hours.
This has been in the game before but it was removed. If theres a special reason why it has been removed, please tell me.
It would be great because people can make much money on flipping but prices couldnt rocket or crash because of merchanters.
