phats stabilize the economy taking gps out of game increasing values of other items.

1. Phats don't stabilize the economy since they are not a commonly traded item, there are very few people that trade them, so they have very little impact on the economy.

Consider that if Phats vanished, very few people would even notice any financial loss because their banks simply do not include a Phat.

In fact, increasing the supply of Phats will strengthen the economy because more people will be able to participate in the Phat market, the more people that trade Phats, the stronger that market becomes.

2. Phats don't they take gps out of the game since a trade between two players isn't a money sink such as converting logs into planks.

When you pay the Plank Maker those gps are removed from the game, that is a money sink.

In contrast, a trade between two players simply means that gp from one player is given to the other, but the gp still stays in the game.

So, increasing the supply of Partyhats on something like Treasure Hunter will strengthen the economy and also help Jagex increase sales because many more people will buy keys and bonds when the price of a Phat is more affordable rather than their sales being limited to the occasional purchase of one person or two who is willing to spend several thousand.

When the price is too high very few buy, but when things go on sale, their sales increase because many more a willing to buy things on sale.

So, increasing the supply on Treasure Hunter is literally like helping Jagex increase their revenues to hire more people to create more awesome updates for everyone, including you, to enjoy! 'o.0'

Flipping merching & investing happens all the time in the rw.

There are a number of schemes that are against the law in many countries regarding flip/merch/investing, there real world regulations.

For example, "pump and dump" schemes are against the law in many countries, also large corporate mergers that veer towards monopolies are strictly scrutinized by governments to ensure that such mergers don't violate anti-competition regulations.

In this game, it's like similar in the sense of "game balance," basically, an afk activity such as flip/merch/investing shouldn't outpace an more intense activity such as pvm. That is, a hunderd hours of intensive pvm should have a greater reward than someone who only logged in for an an hour to get that same reward.

If you only logged in for an hour, you shouldn't get a reward that requires a hundred hours of pvm. So, flip/merch/investing needs to be nerfed and increasing the supply of Phats on Treasure Hunter is the solution.

And, if you are as rich as you say you are, and you love the game like we do then it's actually in your interest to support Partyhats on Treasure Hunter because it will help Jagex maintain and develop more awesome updates for wealthy people just like you!

After all, why worry about pixel phat gps when you can just buy more with your real wealth!

Real World Wealthy people who love the game would certainly be willing to support Jagex in their efforts to increase sales, such as supporting Partyhats on Treasure Hunter, because it strengthens the game's future, for everyone, including real world wealthy people like you to enjoy! 'o.0'
