Hmm what update would have removed gold from the game thus made the value of gold go up in the last few months hmmm hmmm HMMMMMMMM

If you want to see a change and lowering of prices you gotta start mass buying and binning it faster yourself my man, sadly this is how the market here works.

Why would it be illegal? Because your not profiting?
This happens with everything.... people buy and sell cars, houses, and definitely happens in the game with merchanting.
I don't honestly see this as a problem

Cause cashouts

People selling gp to outside sources after buying from jsp

Less in our economy so prices of rsgp gets higher

I don’t really get rsgp anymore so idc really

This is such a naive way of looking at fg. No it's not "pixel wealth". It has a real fungible value. And it's not all "dictated by players for players". Do you know how many currency selling businesses use jsp? They pretty much set the market.

There's a reason osrs gold goes for 85 right now and if you don't know why then don't offer any more input

Sounds like real life. The super rich own most of the market and can control and thrive off of opportunities where there's a chance to make some money. They also have more error for risk. If you are willing to take a risk and buy gold at a certain rate, it could go up or down. I've been trying to sell at 1:90 for a few weeks now, granted people were selling for less prior, however trends show the price to go up, so you could grab now at 1:90 and make a profit when it goes up to 1:100, if it does.

Also, people do have a use for the rsgp or fg. It holds a monetary value. You can sell rsgp for real life money and you can use jsp in the real life trading section, or spend it on other electronic goods and resell for real money. The way people get these coins isn't illegal, so why should it be illegal to have lots of them? If you got a twisted bow in a raid drop and sold it for 100k fg, is it now illegal you have that gold? If you played diablo and ran a successful ladder reset, making a lot off of items and runes etc, would that be illegal? No. It's business.



Come look at the Canadian telecom industry. 4 competitors all grouping together to raw dog us in prices and what they offer in each price range. I pay 50 bucks for 300MB, you read that right, 300MB of data and unlimited text/calling in North America. You won't really find much cheaper anywhere because the telecom industries created a monopoly. It's the real world. You want change? Be the change you want and offer your own market. You'll soon see you can squeeze people for a bit more, and I GUARANTEE you will.



And this is exactly how supply and demand works. If there is a lmit on supply, people are willing to pay more to get it, not less. If you and I both want the same limited edition Ferrari, and there is only one in the planet, I'll offer more than you to get it, assuming I can afford to, thus how money makes money. Yeah it sucks for those who are priced out of it and can't afford it, but we all weren't born with a silver spoon, unless your family is wealthy (which in video games doesn't really matter)

are (they) involved?

i think its less the stake tax and more of the fact that there have been a recent series of huge content updates including raids, vork, kourend update etc. especially since mobile has boosted player counts, everyone wants the new stuff

Even worse! Its (them).

Its literally all mobile

the number of players went up a ton, and the amount of gold didnt get increased with that.

I know my self, and 2 irl friends came back due to mobile and not being stuck to a computer to play. We arent the only 3. I biuy and sell some on here, and if you buy 50m for 90 (4500fg) and sold it for 85 (4250), and you arent buying/selling gold to profit, thats a loss of litearlly 3m on a 50m trade, aka 1 hr of work. Im amazed people try soo hard to get that 5m trade for a few fg less when you could use that energy and grind cows and make the gp lost up.
