I'm blaming the spirit shields for some of the market figures like rares dropping ect.
I mean when they came out you saw a period were phats weren't traded for days i think that players with the money to by spirit shields and phats figured that spirit shields are more useful so there fore bought them instead. that also explains the drop in Christmas crackers. Christmas crackers are utterly useless apart from the joy of having one because unlike phats you can't wear it. and also when any new item comes out it will be in high demand. i think if you give the Runescape economy time it will balance its self out.
If you're blaming anything, blame item lending. Spirit shields are rubbish profit compared to sara or armadyl gwd. Besides, I've never seen anyone with one of those expensive shields for weeks.
Anyway with the new pvp (which some skiller-kiddies are ***** off about apparently) people have been getting dfh from smiting out whips and gses. No surprise it's finally moving.
