i can't make launch
:RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE:

 

The economy will do what it always does: hemorrhagic diarrhea out of every pore of the GE because Runescape's economy is driven by twelve-year-olds. Give it a month and GP will probably return to its normal state.

For instance, the average account will still need about the same amount of GP to be made. This won't really change the demand for gold. Most mains will still probably need 95 prayer and 96 herblore, so they will still need 200-500m that they need today. These are really the people that drive the gold resale market, which fuels the entire gold market, and with no real change there will be no real change in price.

The interesting thing is that we have no idea what updates fromthe Beta that the EoC has, so we don't really know what role pures will play in the new RS. Pures were a very good blackmarket sink hole because people tend to invest 10-100m in a pure and then pretty much abandon it after a few hours of PKing. However, with the new prayers not requiring quests (as far as I know), this may actually increase the pure-GP sinkhole, as long as they are still relevant PKers.

Another interesting thing is the bots dying and PvM goldfarming being changed element, which will obviously be influential to a degree. This may change prices of items, but I doubt gold. Why? One dicer makes enough money per day as hundreds of bots, so I still maintain that dicing is more influential to the blackmarket than bots are. A dice nuke would be more harmful to GP prices than a bot nuke. Most of the bots you see in RS are from the Chinese websites that farm their own gold, so the presence of these bots has little influence on the Skype market. We'll just have to see.


TL;DR: I'm serious about the "hemorrhagic diarrhea" shitstorm that will be the Runesape Grand Exchange from November 20 to mid-December 2012. If you play RS, bring an umbrella.

I must say I always love reading your posts and 99/100 times I will agree with them. Including now.
