~ Partyhats are only being price tracked thanks to players, which I disagree with the legitimacy of ~
You've made an important point here.

I think we all agree that none of the players have access to Jagex's data.

So, all of the Partyhat listings are inaccurate and prone to manipulation and fabrication to suit the will of the flip/merch/investors.

Clearly, it's impossible for players to access the data.

So, any advertised price calculations are inaccurate, these inaccuracies open the door to evidence which suggests that any prices listed in the Partyhat market is prone to fabrication, that is, manipulation, to suit the will of flip/merch/investors.

Both intentionally and unintentionally, the Partyhat market is being manipulated. This results in a game dynamic that is unbalanced: an afk activity such as flip/merch/investing shouldn't outpace the more intense and active activities such as pvm. (Or, consider the contrast in mining, where one engages the rockertunities, the rewards are better than afk mining)

This is a key point: game balance. Flip/merch/investing Partyhats is an overpowered afk activity that leeches wealth from other players and it must be nerfed.

There are many ways to nerf the flip/merch/investing of Partyhats, and balance the game.

Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is a cost effective solution to help balance the game.

Therefore, supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is the right thing to do! 'o.0'

Did you see Jokku's idea about Partyhat Maps?

It's a really fun idea that incorporates lore and skills! It's like an awesome treasure hunt within a treasure hunt, it's a much more engaging and exciting style of treasure hunting! Check it out!

Jokku23 received news from The Ports that many of the recruits had lost party hats to shark attacks. This led to the development of Treasure Hunter "Partyhat Maps" which may be won on Treasure Hunter or traded to those who are inventive and aren't afraid of sharks.
Cheers for all your support Kalea! Your posts cheer me up every time, just like Anja!

I would also like to mention that partyhat maps are a compromise that doesn't increase the number of partyhats in-game but brings more of them to the market!

Happy Easter!!!
Hiya Jokku, and Anja too!!! It's your cheerfulness that's infectious, just like Anja's!!!

~ Runescape loses funding from your suggestions ~
Actually, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter will strengthen Jagex's sales.

1. Sales from keys will be strengthened. There are many examples of special Treasure Hunter events that are fun and good for Jagex's business. So, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter would be another successful Treasure Hunter special event that helps Jagex strengthen their funding.

There is no doubt that a lot of keys would be sold when Partyhats are on Treasure Hunter.

2. With respect to Bond sales, by decreasing the price of Partyhats, Jagex will be able to sell more of them. More sales means increased profits.

That is, by increasing the supply of partyhats, Jagex will increase their profits because it would become more affordable for many more people to enjoy. That means that the volume of their sales would increase and that means more profit.

For example, if only one person would buy an item for $1,000, sales would be $1,000.

But if a hundred people would by the item for $100, sales would be $10,000.

So, reducing the price actually increases sales, for example by $9,000!

You can see this everywhere, selling more units at a cheaper price increases profits because more units are sold.

It should be obvious that many people would buy stuff when they can afford it, if it's too expensive they don't buy and that means lost sales.

In other words, more people buy stuff when the price point is reasonable.

Selling more units means more profit and more people that may enjoy the fun of Partyhat parties!

So, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter helps Jagex strengthen funding for hiring more people to develop awesome updates and reward the dedicated and hard working JMods with amazing pay raises!

For The Win, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter because it helps strengthen Jagex's business, maintain the game, and more people may enjoy the Partyhats, it's a multiple win for everyone! 'o.0'

~ If you destroy them, there is no recovery.~
Partyhats on Treaure Hunter doesn't destroy Partyhats.

All the Partyhats will still be functional.

All the Partyhats will still be equipable and wearable on the head slot.

Think about it, many of the Partyhats have been lost or removed from the game.

Partyhats have been alched, fed to the Baby Troll Pet, donated to the Wishing Well, etc.

Again, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter doesn't destroy them because it simply isn't about removing them from the game.

Clearly, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is about bringing the Partyhats back to life.

Many have been removed from the game so, Partyhats on Treasure Hunter is about bringing all those Partyhats back to the game, it's about refreshing the supply of Partyhats, it's about saving the Partyhats from extinction.

It's about finding all those Partyhats that have been lost over the years.

Partyhat Maps in particular is about recovering all those Partyhats that have been lost.

For The Win, support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter because it's about saving the Partyhats from extinction, recovering all those lost Partyhats and bringing them back for everyone to enjoy! 'o.0'

Sorry. But you are an unrealistic idiot. Learn actual business. ~
So, it seems that I've defeated your arguments, it seems like you've surrendered your position because you've now resorted to name-calling and personal attacks.

Perhaps, it is you that should read up on business, finding the price point to increase sales is an actual business skill, if something is too expensive, businesses lose sales.

Also, you can see businesses all over the world put products on sale. One day a product will be sold at full price, but then, the next month, the very same product goes on sale.

Those who paid full price gained enjoyment of the product much earlier than those who waited for the sale of the same product. So, it's not clear why this troubles you?

Your reaction here also appears to contradict your earlier comments:
Whatusaytome said :
I agree Kalea, there's tons of derailing posts and off topic arguments, ~ I agree they are trolling and fully intent on getting the thread locked rather than ever attempting to cordially discuss ~
So why are you now attempting to derail the thread with flamebait rather than attempting to cordially discuss the topic?

Clearly, the reasons for supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter are on solid ground because your criticisms have been addressed and you've now resorted to inappropriate and petty personal attacks.

Furthermore, in particular, Partyhats Maps on Treasure Hunter is a constructive way to save the Partyhats from extinction for many many many more people to enjoy!

In fact, it appears that it's your use of personal attacks that is destructive, so I'd advise you to be careful because you might hurt yourself.

Otherwise, it would seem that you just want to agree that we disagree.

For The Win, Supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter it's the right thing to do! 'o.0'

~ And sorry for the insult. I felt it was deserved after you blatantly ignored everything I've said. I found that rude ~
Honestly, your apology appears insincere because you're now attempting to blame me for your outbursts. In fact, it seems like you're the one twisting the words and ignoring what people say.

Whatusaytome said :
~ Take a car dealership for example. ~
In the first place, your example is off-topic, we're not talking about cars, we're talking about Partyhats. The topic is Partyhats on Treasure Hunter.

Secondly, even when you account for the overhead costs, carrying costs, labor, taxes (by the way, usually the consumer is charged the taxes), etc., decreasing the price of a product and finding a reasonable price point for consumers really does increase profits.

1. If only one person would buy an item for $1,000, sales would be $1,000.

2. If a hundred people would by the same item for $100, sales would be $10,000.

So, reducing the price actually increases sales, for example by $9,000!

Let X$ = the overhead costs, carrying costs, labor, etc.

Now, the profit from line 1 is $1,000 - X$

The profit from line 2 is $10,000 - X$

Which means that the profit increases as the price of the product decreases.

Obviously, if the X$ is greater than the profits, that's not an appropriate price point either. If the price of a product is too expensive or too inexpensive then profits are lost.

So, the price shouldn't be too high or too low. And, there are various formula that are used to find the price point which will maximize profits.

With respect to Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, I would estimate that the price of Partyhats are too expensive, therefore reducing the price to something more reasonable would result in increased profits.

So, I'm skeptical of your apology, but clearly, disparaging my opinions isn't appropriate.

FTW, Support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter!! 'o.0'
