Tonight i was sitting there in seers trying to sell my yew logs for 300-310 each when i had an idea...

if we got like 10 people in each main server pretending to sell and buy yew logs for 200 could we drop the price of yew logs temporarily?

i want to try this but i need to see what you lot think... its a huge experiment but i think it might work

if it does then i want to try it for more valuble things and see if we can alter that

the aim of this is not to create havoc but to see how many people it takes to influence a market

i wouldnt drop the prices to something stupid but just low enough to see a deifnate change...

so yeh

Not necessarily, there's a thing called the ripple effect:
10 people each tell 2 people, then they tell 2 people, then they tell 2 people and on it goes

demand is to great, would cause only a small temporary ripple. anyways, this is a rather dishonost thing to do, price FIXING AND SCAMMING. again greed comes ahead of morals

I dont see an in-game Fed Trade Commission.

And if player mods step in, what's to say that they're not price fixing?

ever see the people, where four guys shout out buying bad wine for 200k, then one guy a min later says selling bad wine 100k, and some poor soul buys it for 100k, then gets scammed because it was all a set up.

this is the same sort of thing, there is a narrow line between merchanting and scamming, and this crosses it. u are attemtping to deceive othe rplayers on the price of items. if log prices did not go down, and u suceeded on buying 1k yew logs at 200gp each, that means u just SCAMMED 100k off those people by lieing about prices, 100k that they could have had from a real yew logs buyer who buys for the proper price.

and this attitude of merchanting scamming and bragging about ripping people off in trades is the greed that is so prevalent in rs right now (has always been there, but seems worse of late), something that honost people should not do.

Well gl. Im fine with all the market prices right now and I know tons of ppl try to change them. Luck is right though, this would be like scamming. Everything is already cheap enough in rs anyway.


btw Luck, those ores i got, that was his price so I just bought them

Oh.. and the prices for p hats being over 40 mil isn't price "FIXING AND SCAMMING"?.. I say we do it. There are NO SET PRICES in Runescape, when will you people learn that. If you get enough people, yes it would be ALOT of people, but if you get enough then it would spread.
