Jmods said through a live stream that RS3 is undergoing a deflation, contrary to many people believe:

"Well, I'm just paraphrasing Suity's TL;DW from the recent Q&A livestream, which says:

We were in a period of deflation last year which is the complete opposite of what people think.

Inflation on big ticket items like partyhats is completely artificial and not due to inflation in RS"

There is no mistake. More gp keeps coming into the game but from all sources, noticeably bossing, slaying and such. However, nobody seems to be in a frenzy to spend any surplus gp so there is only deflation but not inflation.

When nobody cares about spending, wasting, dumping their gp, there is really not a need for more or less gold sinks because those sinks don't mean much to the economy.

Wrong, I brought it up as a alternate suggestion to the deflation issue you brought up. But it was clearly an aside, and the main focus of my reply was in the rest of my comment which you conveniently ignored.

So lets either get back on track or stop altogether.

You brought up gold sinks as an "alternative suggestion" to whatever you tried to spin this time but asked why I talked about the very same gold sinks in your so called "alternative suggestion"? It is simply silly that you can spin whatever story and ask whatever questions you like but don't allow other people to make comments on that.

Anyway, obviously this thread fully illustrated many people like the 200 mil gp prize among other TH rewards. Otherwise, something else will replace that 200 mil gp slot. Supply and demand.... it is just Economics 101.

lol. it comes from the item which is a measure of wealth.


???

Please start making sense.

You just turn an item into gp.

right. ur turning an item into gp. not making wealth out of nothing. the wealth came from item.


yes but that wealth didn't exist before technally, say I bought a few fire battlestaffs and alched them, technally i brang gp into the game.

VS I bought a few bonds via ge and converted the, removing gp from game.

Not really.

I mean we have low/high alch and no one complains about those.


Can't say I've ever alched something for 2 billion gold before. Even as a 16 year vet I've never owned more than 100M cash stack.

I knew over time TH was ridiculous on the XP side (with A Friend's acct maxing in a week) but didn't know how obscene the gold element could be.

All the more reason I wish they'd do things like the current cat promo instead. Praying that it's a sign of a new direction, but I've been wrong every time before.
