Jagex Sells rsgp?(What do you think?)

[Xbritton]

not really. what about sorcerer garden? that's money produced since the herbs are producet ouf of nowhere and a lot of money is being injected on the economy and you don't see whips being valued at 5m.

This wouldn't ruin anything as most of you say since jagex would produce the money and sell it but then it wouldn't change the amount of buyers/amount of GP bought at all. It would just sell gold instead of gold4rs or usfine doing it. So they amount of GP being injected and produced on to the game would be the same as usual. Of course this happens as long as they sell for a normal price 0.8-1.2$ because if they decide to sell for let's say 0.10$ then everyone would be buying lots of amounts and then the economy would be really fucked up. The same is happening with gold4rs botting gold farmers in sorc garden. they are producing a lot of money daily and you don't see everything going to the roof. It would be the same scenario but replacing gold4rs with jagex.

Hahahahahha, you are truly too noob to be talking about runescape economy, If runescape sold gold to their own players, EVERY valued item would sky-rocket. You dont agree with me? Well if you dont, you are just digging your hole deeper son. Its fact.

Xav.

The Runescape economy is not primarily based on RSGP.

Other games can successfully implement this idea as it was thought about long before. The market is not a witches cauldron and it doesn't randomly spit out prices. It is a very complex algorithm with lots of things interweaving with each other.

The Runescape economy is primarily rooted in the price of rares. Rares are the biggest cash sink in the game, and they are forever rising due to their discontinued status. The fact is RSGP isn't generated in Runescape to any significant scale, the only way it is made is via Alching, stealing, and picking up/selling to shops. This doesn't create much RSGP.

If Jagex where to sell RSGP directly, the amount of RSGP they would put into the game would be cataclysmic to the market, as what will happen will be the EXACT same as the current market. The value of GP will diminish, and the value of goods such as Ore, Bars, Logs, RARES will rise exponentially.

If you know very very very basic economics you would be able to work out that if Jagex did sell RSGP the economy would spiral out of control.


Also there is not an unlimited amount of RSGP, RSGP itself is a commodity. There is an innumerable amount of it yes, but it has a limit. When you pick up say an Abby Whip, you are not creating 1.1million RSGP, you have just created an item WORTH 1.1million RSGP.

Again, you're basing it on real-world economics. I promise you it is not the same. I don't think I'd ever get my point across defiantly without Jagex actually implementing it, which will NEVER happen anyways. :/

But, uh, just out of curiosity, when you say that the gp made from alching, stealing, and what not is not necessarily big... I'll have to disagree.. Look at all the bots now-a-days doing JUST that. All the bots are doing right now is providing gold sellers ways to sell gold that they are making from nothing. It's the same concept as if Jagex were selling gold. NOW: If they were operated at the same time... which they would be... THEN there would be a problem and the spiral-out-of-control-economy theory would definitely happen!

The economy works the same, supply and demand.

Not necessarily big, but it is still a sizable amount.

Bots generate goods to sell, they do not generate GP. They generate another commodity with a certain exchange rate to GP.


Most if not all game economies work on supply and demand, and the multiple factors influencing them are substitutable in Real and Virtual economies. The reason gold prices dropped when free trade was reintroduced was the reintroduction of 'hidden GP'. People sold trillions worth of RSGP, this GP was taken from legit players, and now all the gold sellers are in control with a large proportion of RSGP ready to be pumped into the economy.

You say its not based on real-world economics, that simply isn't true. Supply and Demand is the key factor which influences the market, which is the same way Real world markets predominately work without intervention.

LOL you think jagex is badass enough to do something like sell rsgp?

No but jokes apart, theyd lose more in the long run by doing this.

 

[Deathdude]

Yeah, it would make sense. That would perfectly explain why they're after those RWTers so much nowadays.

 

[basterache3]

Jagex can sell the mills, collect the money, deliver the gold, and then instantly roll back the account they delivered to for rule breaking to the monetary value it had before the trade.

This adds no gold to the RS economy while adding gold to their IRL bank accounts

 

[nopi0]

Microtransactions are for games like farmville.Like others have said it would hurt the game in the long run

 

[Thug_lyfbaby]

No they not doing that.

 

[Thug_lyfbaby]

else they wont deleted wildy and free trade before.
