[@Tharronis]

I'm kind of surprised nobody has tried to create an inflation indicator for OSRS and then use that to adjust current prices to more accurately model changes independent of inflation.

[@Oct0ber_Skyy]

Bond prices ar probably very close to such an indicator

[@TheMilkYourDadWentToBuy]

@@Oct0ber_Skyy Nah, there's a few confounding variables that make bonds an inaccurate gauge, specifically events that drive up bond demand disproportionately to other goods/ingame commodities. Ban waves will spike bonds but not necessarily all other items equivalently.

[@Oct0ber_Skyy]

@@TheMilkYourDadWentToBuy That makes a lot of sense. I should have probably said best “single item” indicator, and only because it’s tied to an external currency that is more stable. I’m sure a better answer would be weighted on a ton of consumables, equipment, etc?

[@TheMilkYourDadWentToBuy]

@@Oct0ber_Skyy Yeah, a solid litmus would need to be an amalgamation of a bunch of different factors and unfortunately I don’t think the people that have the requisite skills to do so would generally be interested in doing that for runescape lol.

[@ViciousLamp]

Yeah this always happens. its sold as an easy way for players to pay for membership to a game then its gets hyper inflated and becomes inaccessible.

[@cogmonocle2140]

the ely will likely be either actively bad or require shield swapping in perilous moons; they've mentioned multiple hitsplats being relevant (meaning you'd like to use scythe, or the new dual-wield weapon that's going to be a reward from this content)

Hopefully it’s a sign that they’re going to start banning bots. I’d love if them bring back Botany Bay, or even just the random events that would kill bots.

[@bduckett2522]

It’s because of this loser and merch clans they are holding items more then ever because of ge tax and geeed they wanna rip off people who work hard on this game.

[@oneminutewonder77]

It's crazy just how much gold is in the game at this point. Almost makes me curious whether Jagex will do a hard reset at some point similar to what they did with old school. Where the economy will be reset entirely. Or if they will have a specific set of worlds with their own economy without the GE. That would be interesting to see.

[@bduckett2522]

Little pro tip the bonds tell you how much currency has been inflated

[@l0lan00b3]

Tbf it didn’t make sense that 7.99 got you like 4m when that would be less than 2 dollars on the BM. Bond prices have historically followed trends and lately, from what I’ve noticed, there has consistently been 100-110k+ people online at any given hour. Not to mention bot farms more than likely using bonds. The prices have always been weird but I might just be having a hard time seeing how the price reflects inflation in the game.

i think RuneScape can just go in GE and buy out stuff increasing inflation in the game. keeping the games items high in price. a part of the games market was people were lazy and not much people taking RuneScape seriously to Grind back then redeeming value over a period of time. there was a sense of value in the game that made items homie about the game. as well for free to play with god rune armor. i feel like RuneScape can also change the new bow ammo bag can be sold for 50-100mill gold each. reducing the inflation.
