And you can make 10 times as much per hour on rs than you could on d2, my point was the the economies don't have to correspond and it makes sense for rotmg to have premium pricing compared to other games because there is much more demand items in the game than in others (lose all of your stuff is a pretty big part of the game compared to d2)


when you play RS you can lose your items
when you play d2 on hc you can die and lose your items too

the economies DO have to correspond though when there's one centralized trading system (FG) .. they don't have to be exactly equal, but they can't be so ridiculously different (1000% profit on ROTMG vs RS)

also you can farm just fine on a t8/t4 unpotted wizzy and if you die on one of those it costs you like 50 FG at most

I blame ammys


I agree. I enjoy the game as is, and I'm not upset with any of their mechanics, nor am I suggesting the current JSP market is broken. Quite the opposite, its reaching an equilibrium. I just think the game would be more interesting if either 1) amulets were removed or 2) the nexus hotkey only functioned when safe. having both just allows for a massive accumulation of wealth. Grave looting was removed for just this reason. Items never left the game.

Changing how nexusing works would be dumb

if there are 30 sellers and 4 buyers, the price will never remain stable at 40fg.  26 sellers will have 0 sales, and thus be encouraged to lower the price of their inventory and attract the 4 buyers to them.  this is pretty basic stuff. 

I want you to do a simple experiment:

Sit in USWest for 60 seconds and count the number of times you see any variation of the term Selling.  "S>"  "For Sale"  etc.    Repeat this procedure with "Buying"  "B>  "  etc.  I guarantee you there are more sellers than buyers by at least a factor of 5.

This results in prices being competitively lowered until an equilibrium is reached.   


If there were more buyers than sellers, the reverse would be true and prices would raise as inventory cannot keep up with demand.


There are no retards that came along and ruined "your" precious market.


Not sure why that last sentence is directed at me but if you look at the front page of the jsp rotmg forum you will notice slightly more people are buying than selling. Further the reason more people may be standing in the square typing S> than B> is because people buying items are generally buying only 1 and people selling are generally selling more than 1, if you can buy and sell stuff at the same rate, then the person with more items will be there longer. If the S> people are there longer, then more of them will coalesce

^ yes argument is flawed but at least it sounds nice

What I find the funniest about all of this is how much you guys care about the economy and making "fg" off the game.

I crack two ammys a week and I'm sure im at least 10 ammys in the red in this game. But I don't give a fuck because it serves its purpose for me, I have fun.

I chill after a long day and crack a couple ammys in the evening and go to bed happy.

I think us jsp nerds like debate more than the "economy of the game"

That 'work' is the fun part, for me anyway. If I had more time I'd totally do another one of my progression threads after I finish up the wizard, or at least play it that way without writing everything down.
