Partyhats

[Shn]

So I logged on for the first time in a few months, had a red partyhat and sold it for when it was 1.65b. Now its 2.7b??? What happened to decrease the value of coins in the game? Where is all the money coming from?

[Chaoss]

Basically, there hasn't been an effective money-sink in years, and therefore the gp has been piling up higher and higher.

 

Used to take me weeks to make 1m gp. Now it takes maybe 30 minutes.

[-Leaf-]

Yeah if I had bought a white when I quit instead of stupidly trying to buy a blue through GE, I'd be up at least 1 bil.

 

Santas on the other hand haven't really risen in years.

The PvP world statuettes from 2009-2011 which brought a lot of GP into the game are the main culprit for the inflation, but there are other things as well.

[Egghebrecht]

the majority of players is very high level which means that they don't sink money in construction and summoning anymore

and by current standards the cash needed to buy the needed non player made supplies (planks, magic stones, shards, ...) for it isn't all that much anymore

 

death hasn't made you lose anything for years and in PVP it only moves to another player anyway

 

so yeah no real active moneysink and a constant influx of of new money

The death of (RS3) F2P clanning caused the loss of another money sink too, even with the countless looters hundreds of Rune sets would still get removed from the game every two days or so. There is no use for Rune now meaning there is no demand so all pieces get alched, which means more gp entering the game.

 

It's kinda sad I'll never get that red party hat I've always wanted. :(

At least I have one on OSRS, worthless but better than nothing. :P

I had a red one and sold for +/- 120m right before the partyhat inflation really took off :P
