RuneScape Economy. Clan Merchating and PvP 25,75k Trick

Hi have you gone to your Grand Exchange in runescape to try and buy say some air runes and you look it up and notice its doubled in price  and then the next day its gone way back down in price.

Well this is the problem with the Grand Exchange economy its getting manipulated by clan merchanters, But this is not the only problem another one is with the new Pvp methods and people making lots of money of it.

First of all i will talk about  item manipulating otherwise known as Clan merchanting and how its wrecking the runescape economy. Although clan merchanting can be a good way to make money it is completely mucking up the Grand Exchange. Clan merchanting works like this: A clan with lots of money decides on a item to buy. They then buy this item for max and try to buy out the item. This makes the Grand Exchange think that the item is becoming scarce so it pushes the price up. Then once they get it to a certain price they all “dump” (sell it) the item this causes the prices to drop very suddenly, also the unlucky people that don’t manage to sell there share of the item panic when they see the price dropping so they sell for low this pushes the price down even more.

Well now i have told you how it works now here’s the problem when the clan merchants a item that many players use to skill with or to train there skills with for example gems, leather,bars or runes then the people who train using the item merchanted may not be able to afford to train with that item any more, with the prices skyrocketing on common goods some players can’t afford to buy them and thus can’t play the game properly. I guess you could say that clan merchanting is making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Now to the second problem with clan merchanting the sudden drop. Say a player is fishing lobsters to make him or her self some more money and they see the price of them rising because of the merchant clan. They build up there stock of lobsters till they have one thousand of them then decide to sell when they look at the price they are dismayed the price has dropped to less than half the original price of what they were worth and all because the merchanting clan dumped the lobsters. This would be very annoying after you have been working for hours on end fishing trying to make some money.

Note*lobsters are just an example this could happen with any item. Another example would be minning, smithing, wood cutting or killing monsters for big bones.

Ok now we are finished talking about clan merchanting on to the other problem pvp.

Well its not the pvp thats the issue its how people are using it. People who go into pvp with 25k in f2p or 75k in members and get killed giving their friend a good drop and then they get to kill their friend the same way. This produces huge drops iv herd in members of people getting over 20mill of items and also alot in f2p too. Now i have tried this myself just to see if it actually works and it did i made 150k of 25k so you can see why so many people do it trying to get the “big” drop or just trying to make a couple hundred k. Also the person who is the attacker has to have over 25 or 75k on them as well to increase the drop potential.

Ok now to the problem the problem is that with all these people making money from no where is that it is bringing a heap of expensive items into the game.This is also contributing to the fluctuations in the Grand Exchange. Also its cheating the system you shouldn’t be aloud to do its unfair and too easy to do to make money.

Well these are just some of the fixes Jagex need to do to make runescape are more stable game with a more stable economy. Because the economy is what keeps runescape alive.
