The OSRS ecomony is going to crash hard.

This is only my opinion.

I have seen many items dropping in price, many very active important items.

I have seen the gold price drop 25 cents USD from the big gold companies online.

Combined with these two things, I think it's safe to say if Jagex doesn't implement a very large money
sink with warding (which I dont think we have a choice of being released or not) that this economy
will be like RS3 within the next year, minus the new items they release.

No, this does not have to do with Power Creep. We're talking about multiple BIS items.

 

Could be now that the excitement of mobile being over things are stabilizing. If that's what you're referring to.

 

Venezuela hand farming is what’s ruining the economy the most.

 

NUKE TIME

The main reason when things in runescape crash is the like of sinks in the game, the duel arena is a great sink with the tax however the more people make money into the game it will be consistent of eventually crashing until jagex pull there fingers out there arses and create much needed item sinks

 

Dont think it will crash even more. Think it will stabalize around this. Jagex will act accordingly.

 

Why would Jagex care about gold prices. If they did RS3 wouldn’t be 10c/M

 

I agree. They actually need to buff alching and add more gold sinks. I also think they should switch to shards for items and charge a fee to create a full that's not tradeable. If you die with the item in the wildy 90% of the full cost will be dropped in shards or w/e.

 

this seems like it would work well, except for iron accounts. hunting for mulitple shards could always be a harder grind than just hunting the item on its own, even if they nerfed the drop rate of shards to compensate.

 

There hasn't been any big updates for a while, when they come in and the demand for gold increases, I see gold reaching 0.7 to 0.75.

 

Feel like after they added the duel arena tax, there was less demand for gold.

 

It's also the dumping of very large amounts of gold into the market

 

There are simply too many ways to bring gold to the game. This is due to content saturation which plugs in different ways to obtain money, whether it be through slayer or other means.

 

That is true, but they could always just figure out a different solutions for irons.

 

It's inevitable as the game gets older. Just wait for 2011scape where mills will be $6 ea for the first few months.
