OSRS bond price doesn't seem to go down in tandem with the real money 10% reduction of the OSRS Summer SUmmit sales pitch. There also doesn't seem to be any influx of eager players so maybe the Summer Summit sales campaign doesn't really do much and OSRS bond price doesn't seem to go down by 10% accordingly.

why would it?

its down to supply and demand in game

just because its gone down in price inrl. doesnt mean there will be enough extra supply to make it go down 10% in price in game. the 10% reduction may only sway a few people to buy bonds. that wont do anything to the price in game

When players could buy bonds for lower real money price they could sell them for lower gp price in the game. We always saw this pattern when Jagex raised membership prices bonds went up in gp prices in tandem.

In another thread, you acknowledge that jagex controls the market. You think this is not something they could do something about if they wanted to?

I have no idea if Jagex bought up OSRS Bond to inflate its price. They could or might have but that would be a bit of conspiracy as they never talked about Bond in the GE Tax Jenga scheme. The commonly believed items they inflated are some high end gear like Tbows.

Just for academic purposes, it actually makes sense for Jagex to have higher OSRS bond price as it will make it easier for them for monetization purposes.

how is it blocking out low and new players?

its an incentive to buy bonds for low level players to sell in the ge. thats literally the point of bonds. they are mtx. this is what pays jagex bills

this is the supply of bonds

"Just for academic purposes"
... it means it is hypothetical scenario just for discussion but not necessarily have to be what Jagex is doing with OSRS Bond and the GE Tax.

I am talking from the business side of Jagex, especially when OSRS has been flashing more and more signs they are getting more and more jumpy to improve their not-so-impressive revenues, it makes sense for them to want OSRS bond price to be high because it is more appealing for pay to win players to get more OSRS gp for the $7.99 they pay for each OSRS bond.

OSRS Bond trading at official GE high of 8.53 mil gp, eclipsing the record previously set over a month ago on July 19.

I think I know the reason. It is not on whatever "hypeee" of new content. it is definitely not becaus we have more OSRS players and therefore demand, as we are far from having 173k peak concurrent players from years ago when bond was tradiing in the 4 to 5 mil gp range.

The best guess is the rather puzzling allowances of OSRS player swapping OSRS gp to DMM gp. This is insanely affecting the integrity of any competitive contests. So how high can OSRS Bond go? Maybe 10 mil during the unethical DMM gp swappathon?

how is it blocking out low and new players? A lot of new players start in f2p, then decide to get membership by buying bonds. Currently, they would have to work for over a year to get the money for a bond that last 2 weeks. Low levels can not buy a bond.

Of course, since you assume everyone that
DESERVES
to plays is rich like you, everyone can spend hundreds of dollars to play the game, right.
