Wtf is going on? Purples and yellows and both under 1b now? White is well below max cash. Masks, santas, and edibles have also dropped like 50% in less than two days?
Problem has been twofold. One, the bot update removes incoming wealth from the game. This wealth affected the economy by reducing prices of raw materials for skilling, which freed up gold to be spent elsewhere (Discontinued Items). Now that raw materials have become more expensive, they tie up more gold that would otherwise be spent on Rares.
The other factor, which I would argue is the main factor today, is Bank Resets. Bank Resets are becoming a major issue, as Jagex is wiping out GP / Shards from the economy at a ridiculous rate. Jagex has deleted 100's of Billions from Sythe members alone. And we are not even the hardest hit. The companies in China are the ones bleeding the worst, and it can be assumed that Jagex is deleting 10's to 100's of billions of GP from them on a WEEKLY BASIS. This has a huge impact on the economy, and throws the balance of GP < - > Rares off from its previous rate.
Assuming the bank resets do not change from their current state, I don't see Party Hats recovering.
