RS Gold prices are still low though bots stopped?

Hello,

It has been a long time since I last played RuneScape or cheated. I have been taking a look every once and then though. According to my knowledge, Jagex has managed to stop bots like 6 months ago. If bots were the ultimate way of making money, why are the prices so low? I mean, a million GP still costs more than $1. Are there new ways of making money? What are those? Please update me, the game has change and I know nothing now.

Please help, don't flame if possible. Thanks!

Regards.

 

Im almost sure there are still bots. Yet I dont play enough to know. The easiest way to make money in my eyes would probably be frost dragons. You need 85 Dungeoneering to get to them though. That is what i did for cash and make about 1m ish an hour.

 

Well, the price depends on supply and demand.

Right now if gold was cheaper or more expensive, people would still continue selling to the large gold sellers. If they need or want money, they sell gold.

If the supply is lower than the demand, the price of gold will go up. A lot of RSGP the gold buyers buy are from stakers by the way. That's a big income.

There are still bots around, not as much, but there still are quite a bit. This helps supply balance the demand, but right now it seems supply is over weighing demand and gold prices are slowly going down.

 

Bots used to make billions of GP a day, losing that mean decreasing gold supply dramatically. Moreover, this resulted in an increasing demand for GP as bots made money easily. So technically, the prices should have tripled or something.

 

There are still bots around :L

 

Way, WAY less. Like 95% less or even more. Maybe only SCAR or something is the one still working.

 

Not even close. Simba, RID, Epicbot, Rarebot there are still tons of bots around

 

Demand has also weaken. You'll see that when FT was released, demand was extremely strong. I myself gathered over 50 vouches within a 48 hours period at that month, if I remember correctly. It was still strong before bot nuke, but it slowly weakened. Gold seller were paying .35-.38/M at those days. Now they're paying 0.53-.6/M. The increase is big. But you'll know that botters did not sell all their gold to gold buyers. Stakers are the ones that have done multi billion transactions with the bigger gold sellers.

 

There is also the general dwindling of the Runescape population to consider.

 

Wrong.

Bots are what's making gold drop..

Even though stakers have a big supply to the market, gold ultimately relies on bots..

Yeah sure, stakers make tons of gold, but if there was no production of gold, there'd be nothing for them to stake for.

Recently there have been thousands of dragon bots, sorc garden bots, aviansies bots, etc.

If you think even for the slightest second that bots are gone, you're extremely mistaken.

Gold farming is rising now and extremely quickly.

 

Nope. 143,951 people currently online.

Barely anyone quit, the only thing that was taken out were botting accounts. Tens of thousands of them.

Here's another thing to consider. Prices for items that people feel are necessary have dropped a load and are easier to get. Back then, Bandos were 50M+ a set (BCP + Tassy). At that time, RSGP was also 0.40/M, around that at least. That's $20. Bandos is the best thing anyone can afford, without spending too much (ie Torva).

$20 (30M) now still gets you full bandos. Don't forget to take into account the supply of bandos armor coming into the game every hour or so.

Dragon boots are so much cheaper, 80k a piece. I could get anything I needed for under 100M. Bandos, AGS, claws, dfs and fury all for under 100M right now. It's easier to acquire gold with most bots out of the game, and it takes less time to acquire said items. The only people that buys a large amount of gold are the people that wants Torva, Pernix, Virtus, Ely, Divine and Partyhats/rares.

If you think about it, prices of gold have adjusted according to most of the items in Runescape. Back then $60 gets you everything I said above, which you can now get for under 100M. $60 was 150M or less (depending on the rate). So there really isn't a reason on why RSGP would rise even higher than it is now. The lower these items buy for, the higher RSGP should be. But it comes to a point where if it's too low, it can easily be acquired with a few hours of work in the game. Taking out the need to buy gold, thus decreasing demand, which results in supply outweighing demand.

And if you observe the market, sellers have been buying RSGP for less, and also selling it for less than they have. Before resellers would buy RSGP up to 0.62/M. These sellers are now buying for 0.55 or less on average.

You were a gold buyer yourself in those days. You should know that the bigger transactions you've got your gold from were from stakers or dicing hosts. The number of bots there are right now cannot be compared to how many there were before bot nuke. Right now, prices for items are at an all time high, and all that does is increase the RSGP farmed by bots per hour.

You want to take a look at gold sellers today? I suggest you ask around, demand has weakened a lot. Ask them, or just browse their threads.

 

Yes they did..? Untill people found new bots only 70 - 90k people were online. Atleast 40k of those online are bots.

 

That's a big number, too big. You're basically saying that 1 in 3 people in Runescape are botting right now. Now if you count out the people in world 2 (Merchers in the G.E) and everyone else that are obviously not botting, such as pkers, stakers, DA, bosses. That pretty much cuts it down to 1 in 2 players around us are most likely botting when not in said places.

And you do know that botters are online for next to the whole day, people bot as long as they can, especially since they feel that they are safe. There are times where Runescape has around 50k players and over 100k on the weekend. If anyone bots, they bot at random times, mostly almost all day. Unless you're saying that botters have some kind of schedule, and only come out when there are more legit players around. Because this isn't the case, or there would constantly be around 80k players online at all times. If what you say is true.

You cannot tell me that the odds of a player being a bot becomes 2 botters for every 1 legit player at least. This argument is when there are less than 60k players, assuming there are over 40k bots online at this time, just about every one of them would be botting at any given time. So if there were 60k players online, let's say 75% of the botters on right now bots at the time there are 60k players on. Making it for every 1 legit player, there's a bot.

Also, a few months ago, I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture somewhere on Sythe, showing around, if not more, 100,000 players online. That picture was used to prove that there were still a lot of legit players.

Before the bot nuke RS would reach up to 200,000 online players. Are you trying to tell me that 100,000 of these players were bots, and there were actually around 100,000 legit players (There is now)? And right now there are around 40k bots? So for every 2 users that botted before bot nuke, 1 of them have already found a bot and are botting right now, and they are botting on the same number of accounts they used to bot on before bot nuke. This is highly unlikely. Do keep in mind that back then bots actually logged in and people would have several accounts botted at the same time. Right now, from what I heard, some or most of the bots cannot log in themselves. You have to do it manually and restart it every 6 hours.

 

tomany bots ingame just keep walking p2p u see bots in cammy bots in varr bots in wild killin dragons i hope rsgp drops XD
