Its not an explosion, its just the gold prices have raised slightly due to the removal of botting. I assume this will lower once a stable bot comes out.
I don't see an "explosion" in RSGP prices, in fact I don't even see them going over a $1-$1.20 ever. They fluctuate a little, but with the amount of gold in the economy, and how easy it is to obtain, it will always be cheap.
To be honest, rising from ~$.50/m up to the current prices of $.80/m is a true explosion if you consider RS a "world currency."
The rising prices are due to the following:
Massive GP resets amounting to hundreds of billions of lost gold to the black market
Removal of dicing taking out a huge gold siphon directly into the black market
The bot nuke killing all of the reflection-based gold farms and limiting the effectiveness of massive goldfarming by adding in the 6-hour "client token failure."
Agreed. These events have created a lucrative anti-inflationary effect but I wonder just how long it will last and how high it will reach. The time is truly ripe for rs gold speculators!
I think 'explosion' is a fairly accurate term for what's happening now. In a relatively short period of time, rs gold has already appreciated more than 50%! I know we're not talking about USD EUR and so on but it is impressive regardless.
