The reason why the Sigils didn't move too much in price is because of coin share. There were a lot more sigils in the game but there was also a lot more coins.

[@moistparsnip955]

So happy to see a docuvideo finally made about this situation, have been trying to spread awareness of it for years. When I played back then I was quite involved in the community for reasons, and witnessed this carnage live. I had many invites to join corp raids flooding me, from all types of players, but never took up the opportunity because I didn't want to risk clear and obvious bug abuse. In hindsight though, maybe I should of. Either way, there were JMod alts I knew IRL who abused this. Many. Suspiciously soon after the update was live. There was a P/JMOD clan formed around the RuneFest 2010 community that had multiple high profile community members and JMods smurfs who were instantly in on this bug as soon as the update dropped, I've never had an ounce of doubt that there was a hush-hush insider knowledge of this bug spread within that group. Disappointed to say the least.

[@Magiaice]

Hey Colonello, just my 2 cents since I was a Corp camper back during this bug: the sigils dipped, but not too significantly in price. Divine and Ely were still extremely expensive that same day and it somehow didn't impact the economy too hard. Won't lie though, it felt terrible missing out on those 2 hours since its an example of the "early bird bonus" for bug exploitation in RS2/3. Its weird how inconsistent punishments are/were in the game. Would love to see a video from you on some of those exploits if they interest you! A while back there was a bug with Elite Dungeons (essentially OSRS raids) where you could skip to the end to just camp the boss, inflating kills and drops p/h, and there have been numerous promotions that were infinite gp but only until Jagex fixed them. None of these had consistent punishment as temp-bans, perm bans and no bans aren't issued consistently with any form of exploitation. 😎

[@ChronoSquare]

Support, good for equality to see the missteps of rs3 as well

[@theduelbrasileiro]

Actually the only people that got banned were RWTers, but some got away even tho they juiced the ed3 boss. I know that because some of my friends abused the boss back then, some of then got banned, some not.

[@prim6542]

Man you made me realize I played in 2004 that's insane. I remember how cool people were. I went to corp as a random and a big clan let me join. I made about 200m in an hour and it was patched soon after. I remembered everyone being broke like everyone then a week later people were decked out and if you know you know. Full barrows with infinity boot was a big flex back then.

[@GrumpyIan]

I remember this. My friend was absolutely pissed that we were in school when the glitch happened.

[@-Aidan]

That must of been soooo hype getting to a corp party with the boys and coinshare on just hammering kills and building that GP! Never knew about this one! Have you ever covered the mass Rune glitch when Dungeoneering was released? I remember people smugling runes out of dungeoneering and making bills, but apparently the glitch only last like 20-30 minutes before a hot fix!

[@SeanOptimoa]

I was part of a team that smuggled tons of dungeoneering items out, it was around for years but it was very underground and not many knew about it. I also still have an account that is wearing items from recruitment drive, sitting in Varrock.

[@-Aidan]

@@SeanOptimoa it wasn't so much the items like armour and such, I think it was the runes? because they were being sold on the GE and it made them crash because of how many were sold in such a short period. Though I can't remember it perfectly as it was such a long time ago so I could be misremembering. And oo like the Fox, chicken and Sack?

[@SeanOptimoa]

@@-Aidan We smuggled armor and weapons mostly, but we did other stuff as well. Only stuff that was ONLY found in the dungeons. My team never sold only showed off lol Yeah, there was an old trick with logging out at a precise time and it would teleport you out with the 3 items - could only wear the grain sack outside, holding both the grain and chicken was hard to do. There are a few around, but sketchy to log in as they would most likely get removed pretty quick if found by anyone.

[@codyheisler6766]

I remember this happening - I was online when this was going on. They allowed some people to keep the loot and perma banned others.

[@iCABALi]

A small, but important correction. The Ring of Wealth didn't increase the rate at which you rolled the rare drop table. It removed the "nothing" roll from the rare drop table.

[@niriro5741]

Effectively the same thing, since the nothing drop is on the rare drop table. So it wouldn't increase the amount of times you'd hit the table, but it would increase the amount of times you received something from it

[@link99912]

Ring of Wealth was kind of just the default ring for many years. B-ring didn't exist until late 2005, and was too expensive for most players for a while. Only other real options were the ring of life/ring of recoil, but those are only situationally useful. I think even if most players at the time understood how the RoW worked, they'd still default to that until they had money for a Daggonoth ring.

[@ohwinz]

I remember when this glitched happen. people were getting divine sigils every drop.

[@penguiiiiiiiiiin]

[@TempusVulpi]

"Best player" is pretty subjective, I've never even heard of these people

[@GooTheMighty]

I still wear a ring of wealth just for the automatic gold drop pickup. Automatically pocketing all gold dropped by anything I kill adds up over time and is just handy.

[@RealName-ox9tk]

Yeah and you can use it to TP to the GE directly. It's a nice timesave, usually it's worth using a tp. Imo, if ur doing slayer. Ring of wealth, and a glory if you're low level is a must. They give so many teleports. The other rings you get early are the green enchanted one, and get a games neck. Hope this helps. I'm still a noob too

[@258thHiGuy]

I like that the spirit sigil was more expensive than the elysian sigil

In osrs is only removes the “nothing” drops from the rare drop table. Therefore increasing your chance to a rare drop table drop e.g dragon med helms, crystal half keys etc.

[@LunarcomplexMain]

ffs that coinshare was even terrible for when new items were released and Jagex set some stupid initial price of 500m+ when they weren't worth that amount. So you'd kill, say, the kalphite king for stupid amounts of cash only drops...

[@noobsaywhat]

also the prices did not really crash cuz of coinshare most clans did

[@xKhfan213x]

The early days of runescape really were great. While there was confusion along with the ring of wealth, there still is a lot of confusion with it today. Ill explain how the ring works as of today. The ring actually has no increase chance of getting a rare drop or hitting the rare drop table. The rare deop table has a chance to drop nothing. That means your drop would roll the rare drop table and then you would roll a no item drop. The ring of wealth takes the no item drop off the rare drop table. That means if your drop rolls the rare drop table, your guaranteed to get an item from that table. Imo, the ring is absolutely useless outside of the grand exchange teleport, but the gets replaced by the jewlery box or varrok tele after the diary. Some argument can be made that its useful for ironman to get the shield half, but if your training slayer, youll get it eventually as is.

[@ThatWeebyGamer]

I use a ring of wealth just cause I like being able to teleport to the GE whenever I want

[@ColonelloRS]

It is very convenient for that for sure! I use the one in my jewelry box all the time. :)

[@kriistianxv9666]

[@modest-wisdom]

This was also the reason why I quit. Played this game since 2000. Jagex are just braindead sometimes.

[@skirmantasstankevicius458]

I don't see how this is players' problem and they should be punished for it. Remember, people are paying their money to play this game at its fullest potential. If there is a glitch, its blame for devs for under-watching things. Why to blame players? Let them benefit from crippled system. Why the system always has to win? Dev paid the price. People got lucky. That's it.

[@SuperJibulus]

The sigils must have gone up in price because of lootshare and coinshare. Players weren’t actually getting the items but instead they were distributing the wealth amongst the clan members. So in reality new sigils weren’t really hitting the GE, therefore the new wealthy players would go to buy them and cause a supply shock which actually increases their price.
