well no ****. but like I Said, slight inflation is good. a steady and balanced cash-flow into the game through statues would be good. The item sink aspect of bh worlds counteracts the inflation and keeps it in check. go read my post. please.

You need some inflation to keep up with any player growth. In the real world, inflation is good if it's under control. In the game, ideally, inflation will be non-existent, gold coming in will match gold going out, per player. Alching is MORE than enough inflation in the game on its own, let alone thieving, monster drops, randoms...

Item sinks don't remove gold, they remove items. Items sinks ARE good (Mobilizing Armies was 100% an item sink, introduced pretty well only to remove junk items) and ideally serve to, again, remove items at the same rate they enter the game.

However, having an item sink while bringing in more gold actually makes the problem BIGGER, as more items leave (and their price goes up) and more gold enters (further pushing the price up), actually creating more net inflation.

It ruined the economy because it brought in so much GP.

Simple economics. In the same way that 1,000 bots botting yew logs drops the value of yew logs because they are more plentiful, the value of GP goes down as millions of GP was once brought into the game through coinshare and PVP drops which were traded for GP.

As more GP is brought so quickly into the game it is devalued, it's much easier to get 1m pking and getting a statuette than it is to sell a bunch of silk to the silk trader in Ardougne until you have 1m gp. As the value of GP drops, prices of items rises. This is why in OSRS achieving a 10m cash stack is a much larger accomplishment than it is in RS3.

This devalue of the gold is known as inflation. Inflation is why the prices of various goods rises, even in real life. I don't quite remember what would stop the issue from balancing itself out, you would think with the rise of prices due to inflation that it would kind of solve itself, but for whatever reason is probably really obvious in terms of OSRS, I can't remember why it doesn't balance itself out. Whatever that reason is, inflation is bad for the economy.

That wasn't a reply to you.

This is becoming too much of a problem, I say just scratch the idea all together. The wild and pvp worlds are good how they are.

Although, I would like to see a Hybrid's Arena. Similar to the dueling arena where hybrids can go to 1v1 each other. It's difficult to find mass of hybrids wanting to fight each other. It would be nice to have a designated area to meat up and duel at.

"First off if statues are implemented into the game in a manner where they are not over kill they will benefit the game. small inflation is good."


I already gave you an alternative that replaced PVP armours that were overpowered, tradable and ruined other aspects of the game and an alternative incentive to BH. I don't think you even bothered to read it. Untradable reward that can be purchased with BH reward points and benefits you in the wilderness.


You can say just about anything could be done right if it's done right.

Just saying "Well, such and such should be in the game because it could be introduced into the game in a way that they will benefit the game," is not a valid argument. It doesn't support your point of view because anything can, in theory, be done right. What we don't know is how to do it "right". That's why we're making suggestions like I have. Giving me straw man arguments about how your precious statuettes could be done right isn't a valid criticism of my suggestion which you didn't even recognize.

As is you can already make bank from PKING. We don't need large amounts of gold to come into the game, and even if we did, why should pkers be the only ones who are given this extra incentive? My alternative offers fair enough incentive, does it not? If you get the armour(s) that I suggested then you have a better potential to PK more people, earning you more loot for you dedication as a Bounty Hunter.

The game needs a fair balance in terms of PVP-PVM-Skilling. PVP can lose you a lot of money, or you can very quickly accumulate a lot of wealth. PVM doesn't have the potential to ruin your bank like PVP, but it takes longer and more luck to get a huge drop. Skilling is a sure way to safely earn money, but it's the slowest, usually. If you've already got a guaranteed loot drop depending on your opponent, why the need to make the game unbalanced giving PKERS even MORE loot potential?

This is ridiculous, we only need 1-2 worlds with CRATERS
Bounty Hunter worlds are not going to work--at most 6 kills per hour because we have to wait 10 minutes to get a target? That is nonsense. What if they go hide at lavas like every team does? This will not work. PVP worlds MUST be removed and Bounty Hunter CRATERS MUST BE INTRODUCED. This is what we have been asking for! Not some EP-type of hunting.
CRATERS are the only solution to this. We need to be boxed in within the crater in order to loot the penalties that people will carry after looting an unassigned target's loot.
