But, really, why did you choose to only address this part of the post?

Why didn't you address the other items?

Ive answered them in the last thread, no need tor repeat myself.
That has never stopped you from repeating yourself or repetitively repeating others.

Perhaps, you're thinking that you've answered it in your thread about Partyhats on Solomon's Store, but it doesn't seem that you answered these questions before with respect to Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, which is of course the topic here.

However, if you sincerely and honestly wish to discuss Partyhats on Treasure Hunter in a reasonable manner, here's your chance to go back and answer those questions.

Regardless if you want to discuss those questions or not: I maintain that Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a multiple win idea for everyone for a number of reasons:

For example, some have claimed that partyhats are have an effect on high tier items but, this is additional evidence that the markets are being manipulated by individual or small groups of players. This is a situation that provides additional evidence that flip/merch/investing is overpowered and needs to be nerfed because it means that an afk activity is outpacing intense activities.

Thus, increasing the supply is a way to nerf the overpowered flip/merch/invest mechanic and balance the game.

Therefore, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a solution that will address this issue by increasing the supply of Partyhats, plus bring many other benefits such as helping Jagex strengthen funding to maintain and develop awesome updates for everyone to enjoy!

Supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter also helps increase the cheerful Partyhat party fun of the happy holidays with everyone!!!

Guess my last post got ignored then..

Listen guys, although she's cheerful, Kalea's point about the flip/merch investing being significantly overpowered is a very, very real argument. Obviously nobody here has owned one or had any reason to follow the discontinued items forums very much. So let me try to explain something about it.

As many thread pages filled in those forums as we have here. Almost entirely comprised of partyhat offers. Buy and sells of the same colors from same people making trades and adding to their posts. Then there comes the Item Discussion forums with players tracking in the Discontinued Items Status V60 or whatever number it's on now.

If these forums didn't exist, making the flip/merch activity of partyhats skyrocket, they wouldn't cost so much.

Next, Darklore, I'd implore you to check out my eventual remake of my thread for an NPC store of brand new untradeable achievement item status symbol of wealth partyhats, possibly as a Billionaires Club type thing. I'll make it one of these days.

I'd even say they should put the Purple, or even any new one, on TH as a true test and show of how many people truly would appreciate them being expanded. What's the real harm in a new cosmetic similar to the Chromatic only being released a different way? If it wasn't so long and boring to get, more people would get the Chromatic. I know people like it.

Your opinions here can affect us all. Please post for the better

Hiya Whatusaytome!

I replied to your post earlier but I forgot to mention an idea that was inspired by what I remember from your proposal as well as the Mining & Smithing update. If I remember correctly you mentioned a new type of currency to be used at your new store.

With the Mining & Smithing update a new item, "Salvage," appeared (Salvage is a type of drop whose only function is to be alchemised, disassembled or traded) it might serve as a prototype to your new currency, unless I'm mistaken about your discussion about a new currency to help people transition the potentially extreme market fluxuations.

So, anyway the prototype of the idea is like "Holiday Cosmetics Salvage/Tokens," (or you could rename it to be a currency) and just like "Salvage" was released with the Mining & Smithing updates, "Holiday Cosmetics Salvage/Tokens" could be released with an update to increase the supply of Partyhats.

"Holiday Cosmetics Salvage/Tokens" could be incorporated into all ideas that are proposing to release the Partyhats again for everyone to enjoy.

I think someone was discussing a similar idea here, people could win some kind of token on Treasure Hunter and then combine a bunch of them to make the Partyhats.

I support all these kinds of ideas from Partyhat Salvage/Tokens to the actual original Christmas Crackers and Partyhats intact and full form, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, support!

Anyway, there's lots of great ideas about how to release the Partyhats again and I think Jagex will eventually develop a cool way to release them again!

And, thanks for actually discussing the topic and providing some excellent evidence that supports and explains the claim that flip/merch/investing is overpowered.

Thanks for supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter!

Missing you Kalea!!!!!
Hiya Jokku missing you too, your cheerfulness is like as bright sunny day bringing joy and happiness to everyone (with the possible exception of grumpy people who prefer to be grumpy, which is ok too because there might be cheerfulness in grumpiness and that means your cheerfulness is infectious)!!!

And, hiya everyone!!!

Check it out, there's lots of great ideas about releasing the Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Ranging from a reboot of Yelps Wheel of Fortune, the Partyhats of Fortune with every category filled with Partyhats and Christmas Crackers, to a new super rare Treasure Hunter Diamond category, to Treasure Hunter Holiday Cosmetics Salvage/Tokens that can be combined to make Partyhats and much much much more!

There's lots of excellent ways to release Partyhats on Treasure Hunter and there's lots of interesting ideas still to be inspired, so keep those ideas coming everyone!

There's also many very solid reasons to support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, for starters it's an exciting way to support Jagex and help them strengthen their funding to hire more people to develop more adventurous updates for everyone to enjoy!!!

For The Win, support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter!

I know people like it. I disagree that merching and flipping is a valid point against partyhats. As a partyhats owner mysel I can tell you that getting the capital ready to buy a hat is a very risky feat. A lot of thought process goes in to choosing right merches and getting out before you start to lose money. I myself have lost billions of gp on wrong investments. Since my risk of losing money is high, my reward should also be high, and it is. Dumb idea like this has one aim only - give players what they want without work or risk. No support.

I respect your opinion, and you're welcome to hold your view because we've agreed to disagree, but I also give you the option to change your mind because you seem to love this game too. Clearly, neither of us has access to Jagex's data nor do we know what they're planning and the game is constantly changing, updates are routinely polished up, buffed or nerfed. That's part of the excitement of this game. Basically, we both know that these sorts of things are ultimately up to Jagex.

Now, I maintain that merch flip or investing is overpowered and needs to be nerfed.

Flip/merch/investing is an afk activity that appears to outpace intense activities such as PVM or doing Master Clue Scrolls (Also, observe the contrast of afk mining versus rockertunity mining), the focus is game balance.

While preparation and planning to engage in top tier flip/merch/investing may or may not be comparable to top tier PVM or Master Clues (I think it's more difficult to prepare for PVM or Master Clues), from the observable data the rewards of flip/merch/investing are overpowered and need to be nerfed.

While risks of top tier flip/merch/investing may or may not be comparable to top tier PVM or Master Clues (I think the risks cannot be compared because the combat techniques and quests are vastly more complex), from the observable data it's often claimed that flip/merch/investing is "easy money" and lucrative enough to manipulate the prices of top tier gear which means that flip/merch/investing mechanic is overpowered and needs to be nerfed.

So, increasing the supply of Partyhats helps nerf that overpowered mechanic and helps balance the game.

Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a multiple win, it's a sharply smart way to help Jagex balance the game and strengthen their funding so they may continue to maintain and develop this awesome game for everyone, including you! 'o.0'

No support.

For all of those here who are crying for free partyhats for eveyrone - You can buy one when you can afford it. After quickly skimming through this thread my educated guess would be that it is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

The true prices of partyhats will remain where they should: in the exact place where supply and demand meet.

What it comes to flipping/merching/investing being nerfed.. just lol. It should go without saying that if you have been more productive than others and cumulated some wealth and then choose to invest that wealth in items, you are the one taking bigger risk than someone who is clicking rocks or picking flax at Camelot. Therefore you have a chance of making more money than those people.

Two things are for sure. If certain people would be more productive in game instead of whining on forums maybe they would be one step closer to partyhat.

The other thing being that I can extinguish my thirst with the tears of RS commies posting here.

If you wish to disagree, that's fine.

But, your comments are haven't provided any reasons other than disrespect coupled with your crying and whining about this topic.

Thus, the tears are coming from you, why do you cry rant and rage about this topic?

Anyway, it doesn't matter because we have umbrellas to shield us from your tears.

Which means you're basically drinking your own tears, if you need a shot of whiskey to go with your crying tears, I'll sell you some premium whiskey for 30 billion.

Nevertheless, you're welcome to hold your view because you seem to want to agree to disagree. But, I'm generous, so I'll also give you the option to change your mind because you seem to be in need of options.

Clearly, neither of us has access to Jagex's data nor do we know what they're planning and the game is constantly changing, updates are routinely polished up, buffed or nerfed. That's part of the excitement of this game.

Basically, we both know that these sorts of things are ultimately up to Jagex.

Now, I maintain that merch flip or investing is overpowered and needs to be nerfed.

And so, it is maintained that supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a multiple win and it's entertaining too!
