Inflation (alchemy) combined with constant addition of valuable items (dragon drops, etc.) = tons of 'rich' people.

Another person who likes deathnote? Nice!

Haha. You sir are very right about Bill Gates.

Yes, Death Note and Bleach are my favoerite animes. XD

Bleach as well *gasps* I watched that all through the holidays, got to episode 98, but I'm missing the next ten or so, right when they're chasing the Bounto Soul society. You have very good taste in manga/anime

*sorry about the thread hi-jack tdog, I'll stop now*

How does alchemy bring inflation? All I can see so far is that alchemy actually makes you lose money.

I think its been the same, its just now that you need to actually work (train skills, kill monsters) and not sit in a bank all day bringing in millions by just repeatedly trading, the rich are getting more attention.

I personally have NEVER merchanted or been a fan of it. I trained my skills, did mini games such as barrows, and worked for the money I now have.

Right now, I'm working to earn 35m. How? The way I always have.

These new updates don't bother me. Runescape isn't getting richer, the rich are just being noticed.

Inflation isn't about how much money you lose or gain, it's about the amount of gp introduced into the economy.

So for every yew longbow alch 738gp is introduced, the money from the materials stays with the seller/harvester. So when a mass of people high alch, it drops the value of gp slightly.

In simpler terms, high alching introduces money when none is taken out thus changing the value of the gp, construction and summoning are the only things which stabalise this inflation (I took 6.5m out of the game recently on construction)

u can say what u want but if u look at f2p u see that ppl got richer i mean many lvl 50-80 never really had god trim armors or trimed armors now most of em has even saw a 50 whit full sara so in me opinion at least f2p rs got richer also since rears prices droped more ppl sold ones that just toked place in them banks so i guess more rears incomed to market

Yes but how many make everything on there own? most buy the longs for 576 gp and the nats for about 300gp. thats 876gp and they alch for 768. So the majority of alchers cause deflation.

edit: this new dungeon thing gives 10k to everyone. 1m members times 10k = alot!!!

I think players are getting richer because of things like the God Wars Dungeon, and getting Armadyl and Bandos drops, but that's just my opinion...Also things like full dragon have gone way down in price so it's easier for players to get their hands on it.

I said yea because prices of rares have been increasing and ppl have still managed to get money to buy them. Although some items like the d chain have been fluctuating, I still think RS'ers are getting richer. But also, the opposite could be posed which is: With new skills and drops players are able to make more money than they used to. This is true but i also think that the value of a GP has gone way down since when i first started playing 3 years ago.
